I'm really sorry about Zorro, Scrappy.
I wanted to watch my foot surgeries, but they wouldn't let me. Probably just as well.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.

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

am I the only 12-year-old here? I laughed!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Thanks for the How Stuff Works link -- that explains a whole lot! And I see by the notes I wrote down with my pre-procedure call with the nurse (to go over what I had to do with the prep) that the drugs they were going to use were Versed and Fentanyl.
If there IS a next time (probably, if they want a screening every X years from now on), maybe I can talk them out of the Versed, so I can remember. Or else talk them into taping me and my questions. Or let me post on Facebook during, which would be hi-larious. (Maybe not that....)
Actually, I barely remember dressing myself after the procedure, or being walked over to the recovery alcove. I guess I know what it's like to be roofied -- in the safest way possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The versed's not only there so you don't remember, Theo. It's there so you're calm and it doesn't bother you. I know which way I want to gamble when people are poking about.

Because books.
I have to read the AP feed for work, and it's all Syria today. It's a little unnerving.

I didn't mean to kill the thread, though. Sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez, Amy.
Nah, just kidding. A half-hour isn't even a thread nap!
I am trying to put together a package of information for my boss to prepare her for a meeting with a higher-up that will show my effort. Good times.

That sounds like an unfun.
I'm debating the merits of publicly correcting all the spelling errors in my new manager's emails. Probably not a good idea, I guess.

Icing is only really a useful thing for the first 48 hours. But, you know, my limping experiment this morning was a rousing failure.
When I ice I can't feel shit for a little. Even if it's just palliative, if I follow the same on-off guidelines it's not contraindicated, right?
It just feels dumb.

I vote yes to icing, no to correcting your manager publicly.
I also vote that it should be spelled publically.
