I like The Ooze, probably because it sounds like it should be a ridiculous drive-in movie

I'm going to indulge in a bit of new boss likes carrots! here: in our team meeting she called out some of the help I've done, and said she looks forward to me being the lead person for terminology. You guys, I'm getting managerial support for the things I want to do! This is such a strange feeling.

It was a very fun Sega Genesis game!

I'm taking the rest of the day off. Between the prednisone making me want to eat the house and the neb meds making my heart race, I can't brain.

Asthma, how I hate you. I haven't had a hospital worthy asthma episode in over 10, maybe 15 years and according to my doc, I should have gone to ER last Thursday and WHY did I wait so long to get an appointment with her. Sigh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The Oatmeal has a long comic about making things. I kind of feel like this should be a series because he seems to be making like 3 points in here.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, Suzi. I am so sorry and I totally get that. I've had a nasty cough for the past few days and have resisted getting prednisone. I just hate the side effects so much. I'm going to see how I do tomorrow and if it's still bad, I'll ask my doc for a refill. Don't wanna, though.

Yeah, I just read it. It's pretty good, and it could probably be a series. He makes some interesting points, some of which he made at the book signing I went to (like disabling comments).

Heh, when I dated Marti the Medical Student, I frequently had conversations about our respective bad days. Hers usually involved being in pediatric heart surgery for sixteen hours trying to save some baby's life while the entire room full of doctors and nurses hand massaged the baby's heart and they had to make a triage decision about how much of that blood type they could use on one patient. And my bad day was missing the bus and getting to work late and spilling my coffee.

Heh. Well, so far today I told my boss that I had too much work, needed someone else to do it, and really recommended that they hire someone IN FREAKIN LA to do the work. And she was like "but then you wouldn't have any work!" and I was all "Um, DUH!? THEN I COUDLD BE ON A DIFFERENT PROJECT"

And then I told her I get recruiter calls every day and this project is not making me want to stay on the study. I understand they can't find someone in LA, but this is ridiculous, and I don't think they've kept TRYING, because they have someone (me) doing it. But they need to keep trying.

Seriously, when you've been telling me it'll be better soon since, like, August? And I'm currently looking out to FEBRUARY before it might possibly get any better? No. Just no.
