Dawn ,'Selfless'
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.
The prep drink is by far the worst of it.
I am thus far being productive at work, which good, I guess. I'd rather be chatting here with you all.
One thing people (not me) are working on today would allow me to scan in our daily shipment receipts and not have to keep a year's worth (4 - 5 file boxes) in my office at all times. If they get this functioning, all I will be doing on the slow days around the holidays is scanning bills from the last 12 months.
Prep actually wasn't as bad as I'd heard, possibly because the magnesium citrate was flavored. For me, the worst was the IV needle. I'm usually bad about needles, but for some reason, IVs bring out the worst in me. I didn't pass out, but it was a near thing for a while. Also not good was the air that got into my stomach, making things pretty painful afterward until I got it out of my system . And the nap was pleasant.

I think some of the smellier Christmas decorations are giving me a migraine.
Wait, a colonoscopy requires an IV?!
They administered the sedative by IV. At least, I think it was IV. Needle in back of hand, nearly passed out, cold cloth to forehead -- just like my surgery a couple of years ago.
One of the nurses had been a military medic. He told me that the big, tough Marines were the ones that actually passed out from needles.
I woke up in the middle of my colonoscopy. Ask me how fun that was.
I think these smelly Christmas sticks are ScentSicles, or something like it? I think I may have to ask people to get rid of them, or possibly just stay away from my desk for a couple of days. I have a banging headache and itchy eyes and an itchy throat.
Woke up around 3 am this morning by a car alarm for a microcar in the neighborhood. It was literally the loudest car alarm I have heard in my life. Our smoke detector and the house alarm are not as loud as that fucking thing.
Why such a small car needs such a loud alarm is beyond me.
You have to work from home through Epiphany!
I am killing time before my going-away party.
Man. What would I do now without being able to type "When is Epiphany?" or "What time is it in Beijing?" and have the Googles tells me.
