Oh ita, I can't believe what you deal with. Hang in there. We're here for entertainment, at least.
People, teaching 6 hours a day is wearing me OUT.It is seriously the most exhausting thing ever. I will be hiding under my bed come mid-August when that alarm goes off again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the docs came in and turned the pump off, so I hope no data was lost as the nurse before them was worried about. Out of my hands, anyway. A few more hours of meds, overnight observation (woo...pfft) and then home in the morning. It's not that great, to be honest. I've been dizzy for two days, and sometimes the pain wasn't too bad, but...just sitting here right now I can feel it creeping back.
Some of the IO9 posters just published an anthology. Called (amusingly as fuck to me) We Had Stars Once (referring to the now-deemed-cliquey mechanism of giving posting rights). I have no idea about the quality of the work, but at least the Kindle version is cheap: [link]

This I can believe.
ita, may things take a sudden turn toward the competent.
So do I want to watch sharks to get me off the trial coverage?

This week I've only taught for 4 hours a day and AM TIRED.
I was driving on Sunset and some dude was lane splitting on a largish white motorcycle while traffic was moving somewhat okay. He had on a tank top and shorts and flip flops (WTF?!?!) and his vanity motorcycle license plate (also I almost never see vanity plates on motorcycles) said "ERDOKTOR"
What a tool.

Also, it's too late, but on most of the IV pumps, if you push once you get a minute. If you push twice, I think, you get 3 minutes.
If you page the nurse and ask to handle it, it may or may not help.
The only advantage to an ICU is that the nurses pay more attention.
I wish I didn't have this info.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What a tool.
We could have a tool off, and then vote for who is the biggest tool!
My nomination: Whoever it was that found the new hiding place for the key to the cabinet where we keep the snacks we put out in the library (we had to lock the food up because people kept helping themselves), helped themselves to an entire Costco size container of peanut butter pretzels, and then put the key back in the old hiding place.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(iPad wants to correct that to "sharks no", which seems an appropriate response.)
Thumbs up to this.

That was a disturbing Google. I knew the concept but not the term or its history.

Oh, I had three nurses "handling" the pump. Only the doctor decided to address the noise, though.
ICU nurses did not need to be told when beeps started, ''tis true. But then again, I did not sleep and I gave R U STUPID?? stares to everyone who asked how Thursday night went. Being admitted at 9PM to the ICU is a guarantee of why are you *waking* me??? and for what??? in what feels like mere seconds.
Thank god no more blood sugar measurement. Savage and vampiric and ruining my typing.
I should not be amused that my migraine doc thinks this is my first go-round with ketamine. Is totes not. He has done this before. But this is better than the first time. I really do need a complete copy of my records. Last time I spoke to them about it there was a discussion of cost, because media. Too much to email. I need to finish that discussion, though.
I think I vote for Lee's tool.
We have the most avid fridge cleaners at my company, but that means if you buy a big container of plain yoghurt Friday lunchtime and have some, it will be thrown out by 4pm. You can't really even take it home with you for the weekend. Closed stuff is pretty safe, but I really thought a mostly full, not nearly expired thing would be....nope. Victim of the zeal. Still, I never wonder if anyone is stealing my food. There's little chance.
