I am also going to the dentist today, but not because I have BONE sticking out of me, OMGWTFBBQ.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, it's a little weird. Fortunately, according to Dr. Google, it's not unheard of, and not a sign that I'm mutating or anything. And it stopped hurting once the bone actually poked through the skin.

You ought to get a few superpowers when your bones start moving in new directions.

There are so many uncouth and puerile jokes I want to make about boner superpowers right now, but I must go to a team lunch at a crab house.

Ba dum tsh.

It is a bone spicule? I got those after I had my wisdom teeth out, and was failing at Googling, not knowing a NAME. Teppy saved me.

It's been years since I had my wisdom teeth extracted. Actually, that was my first guess -- I only had three wisdom teeth, and I don't remember where the missing one was, so I thought maybe it had finally appeared.

Yikes, Dana! I hope your dentist can help out.

And yikes, Theo! Sore toes!

I blew off most of yesterday reading Yuletide, and I think I'm now maxed out. I have a meeting with a career counsellor in 45 minutes, so I should probably change out of my dog-walking clothes into something that indicates my professionalism. Bah.

It's really hard to get back into the job-search mode. It's still the holiday week, and my nieces are still here for me to play with (although my nephews took all their Hot Wheels and stuffed manatees back to Colorado yesterday). But the firm that didn't want me because I didn't have transportation experience just posted an announcement for an on-call senior PM with pretty much exactly my qualifications. So I'm emailing the recruiter again...

Just as well. Since NYE is tomorrow, I have no good reason to do anymore baking. I need to start some new projects, one of which is going to be rehabbing my brother's company's website.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

tommy, that's amazing! I wonder what we'll learn?

Dana, that's also amazing, but a different kind of amazing, one that's more ouch and less wow. Good luck with your extruding bone!

Facebook just asked me how far I was from Town I'm In. I told it I was in a different country. This should be interesting.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ok - who is drinking and posting with me tonight? I am having a shitastic day and will likely have to work at least a partial day tomorrow EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN OFFICE HOLIDAY!!

Jesse, what restaurant?

Dana, I feel strongly that non-teeth bones should just not poke through gums. please dentist person, fix Dana.

hairpats and hugs to Theo and sara and anyone needing, I am sure I missed stuff in MY RAGE.
