Does Independence, Missouri count as exotic?
Not in the slightest.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't travel for work at all.(I'm not in a position where I'd be presenting at conferences.) Any travel, exotic or not, I do is strictly for fun.
Like this weekend. We're going to Toronto for FilKOntario, where Gary is Filk Waif.(Their name for the toastmaster/master of ceremonies.)

My work travel was almost all to nuclear plants. They generally do not put nuclear plants in exotic places, unless you consider places like Wadsworth, Texas; Oswego, N.Y.; or Baxley, Ga., exotic.
I spent all day getting a blood transfusion. I feel like I spent the day being hit by a baseball bat.
Dear Nurse,
If you're wiggling an IV in someone's hand and that person is whimpering, it's superfluous to ask, "Does that hurt?"

Because books.
Oswego, N.Y.
I know where that is! Sadly.

Least favorite place to get an IV ever.
All good thoughts to you and your dad, Maria.

I've been to Oswego several times. It's lovely in the summer and really dreary the rest of the time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ouch, Ginger.
I theoretically am supposed to travel for work, but it's not in the budget this year. All these places sound exotic to me!

So my dining room is now a bedroom for my dad. The cats are confused, but find the bed more comfortable for lounging than the dining room table.
My brother and his family are going to stay up here until my dad has his follow up appt after the surgery on Friday and take my dad home with them then. I'm on duty tomorrow at the hospital. I hope there's wifi.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Least favorite place to get an IV ever.
My least favourite place to get a litre of saline in is a fingertip or the foot near the toe. Inside of the wrist and the base of the thumb are also pretty unhappy.
I may have to travel--NY next weekend. Woo hoo.

Hubby's port saves him from IVs. It's the best thing about all this, that no one has to hunt for veins anymore.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Got a new hire. Starts Friday. We'll see how she goes. Meeting a potential interim director next Monday (or the next, I can't remember, just that it's a man and omg hell might freeze over with us introducing that particular chromosome into the workforce (we have one dude full time and one 1 day a week part-timer, and the rest of us are chicks).
I told ED that the more he told me not to worry, the more I stressed out. So now he's shouting at me "Worry!" which isn't helping either. Just, don't take away my right to stress. Doing so makes me stress more because I'll be failing to not stress.
