My dad was dehydrated and had high sodium. So no stroke.
Very good news! That happened to my dad over the summer -- he was severely dehydrated and his sodium was ridiculously high, and his symptoms were similar to a stroke (though he had no facial droop or one-sided weakness). This is much easier to set right.
I'm glad your dad is ok, and sorry about the car.
That's good news, tommyrot.
Aaaand, they're going to have to grind off the sewer cap because it is fused and won't budge. It broke a wrench.
Fuck. Going next door to do dishes and pee.
Person on the other side of the wall, complaining about customers: "I sent them an email with all the instructions. They read it, then they said, 'So, what do I do?' And I want to say, 'Stab yourself. Find a pen and stab yourself in the neck. The end.'"
It broke a wrench.
sarameg, yikes! Imagine going somewhere for a routine job and having that happen to your favorite tool....
The boss did utter a mournful "I've had that since I've been on the job. 30 years."
Jessica, I LOVE the kerning game! OMG! I may have to keep playing. I got 91, 78, 100, and 100!
Public Service Announcement: TJ's frozen pumpkin bread pudding is OMG delicious.
I have made that from scratch! Take a can of pumpkin, mix with sugar, eggs and milk and pumpkin pie spices. Pour over a baking dish full of torn up stale bread from the freezer. Bake at 350 for a while.
Eat for days. So tasty. NOM.
I had a nice lunch with a cousin of a friend, who promised to send my resume around. So that was promising. And in ten minutes I have a screening interview with a placement firm, woohoo.
I hope you get some good offers!
I will have actually gone into work one day this week. I will be telecommuting again tomorrow. Tuesday was the snow day and I kinda worked today (I was technically off, but was responding to emails that only I knew the answer to.)
I am so not cut out for working at home, alone. In the 10 minutes I was in the office, I had to blather the whole saga to anyone who would listen.
Even if I want to ignore them, I guess I like the presence of my coworkers....
