In the 4th Doctor adventure, Pyramids of Mars, You have the villain Sutekh announcing "I bring Sutekh's gift of death to all humans". On the DVDs, you had an entertaining interview with Sutekh, who was fretting about his public image. They then showed him going door to door (in full regalia) with a box and announcing, "I bring you Sutekh's gift of marmots."

And now I know why he chose marmots.

yay aurelia! I'm stoked.

Nice!

Congrats, aurelia!

I finally figured out how to send emails to the trash on my iPhone, and am utterly charmed. Now I want more junk mail so I can watch that little envelope commit suicide like that Monty Python bit with the autumn leaves.

Awesome, aurelia!

I just couldn't stop myself.

Congrat, aurelia!

Thanks! We also talked about some professional development opportunities that would be good for me and he expressed support for my design work outside of this job. It was a very positive review.

That's great to hear!

When my sister injured her ankle a few months ago, her big mistake was immobilising it for too long. I admit, I was over-using it the first week because there was no other way to do things around the house, and then because I refused to limit my range to where I could properly crutch to (no upper body strength). I've spent two days fending for myself (which is easier without even the one crutch) now that the "weight off" period is done.

So I'm not going to err on the side of immobile. Am I likely damaging anything by not minding the pain as much as I could (it hurts, I'm grumpy, I elevate it when I sit, I'm not using crutches at home, but it definitely hurts too much to do anything without the tensor bandage)? Or is it just another pain thing? I don't like that, but at least it's math I'm familiar with.
