Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
work is trying to devour me from the inside out today.
Sorry your day sucks. My boss is out of town and I don't have anything to do besides "minding the fort" - I gotta stay here in case a client has some emergency. (Am also waiting for a client to get back to me on 14 new reports I created for them.)
And I've already run out of internets!
Do you think someone could apply by editing the job listing first?
I am so sorry, Gris. Peace and strength to you and your whole family.

I love the idea of Chicago Style Manuel.
I really don't want to have to yell at a friend on Facebook that spouting the phrase "pharmaceutical companies don't create cures; they create customers" is both facile and not only wrong but dangerous.
Damn, buddy. Pneumonia can kill people. You can't self-will it away. It's called antibiotics.
(He also wanted to know "who creates" data on the flu. It's called the CDC, yo. Statistics aren't witchcraft. TEPPY SMASH. It's a shame, too, because he's a genial guy with whom I really enjoy geeking about about comics. But he's very VERY on the DRUGS BAD side of the continuum. My migraines disagree.)
I'm creating data on the flu right now AIFGawful. Hack/cough/sputter.
My husband refuses to get a flu shot. I am retaliating by playing all of the news programs I can find about how bad the flu season is and how people should get a goddamn flu shot.
Goodness, my friend replied with "I trust my body more than the CDC, FDA, or drug companies." Dude, the CDC compiles data on real illnesses. It's not about trying to convince you of something about your body.
I'm not going to argue the point, though, because he seemed to acknowledge that drugs are useful in some instances. I'll take the win.

I actually haven't gotten one in years, mostly out of laziness, and herd immunity has saved my ass from the flu. But I'm concerned enough about this year's outbreak that I'm going to find a flu shot today.
Gris, I am so sorry. Much peace and strength to you.
I need to go away for a weekend. This next month is going to be rough. A cabin in the mountains sounds both wonderful and terrifying.
