ION, I just got an email from KIVA that I had a balance and could lend again. Turns out from a few gift cards and a couple of donations, I have made deposits of $110. From that I have loaned over $600! so cool. Turns out I have no invited anyone into Kiva though, so if anyone has wanted to do it and would like an invite (I do not think you need one to participate and I do not get anything from you joinging from my invite), let me know.
Also, it kinda makes me wanna start a B.org recycling loan thingy. I wonder if we could manage that?
Umph. So I went into work this morning and took a decongestant to deal with this mild post nasal drip I've had for a couple days. 2 hours, a blinding headache and spasm-y coughing later, I went home and was passed out in bed by 10. I know I got up once to pee (and I resented the hell out of that) but other than that, didn't wake up until 4.
Umph. OTOH, no more coughing or headache.
In this context I'd guess unnecessary tests and/or medications.
That's it, prescribing treatments he knows are unnecessary in order to get paid.
Just got done with my phone screen, and now I cross my fingers that the hiring manager wants to talk to me/set up an interview. The company honestly sounds pretty awesome, and far less batshit than my last employer.
So I am at a restaurant and the staff tells me that they have new salt and pepper shakers on each table. They are the kind where the salt is on top of the pepper and the pepper grinds. These are clear. Apparently customers really like these because they have been TAKING THEM HOME. What the fuck?
People suck and steal stuff. Because they suck.
I have to admit stealing a salt shaker while at university. I didn't want an entire
thing
of salt. And it lasted me for five or six years--it seemed weird to pack and move it to the US.
I found a summary of Teefury-like sites: [link] I had no idea there were so many. But there's a great run of Breaking Bad shirts in there right now. I might need to get part of my sister's Christmas present...
I stole a plastic bread basket from an Olive Garden once. I stole it because my son was throwing up and I was worried he would barf on the car ride between the restaurant and my SIL's house, where we could get him set up for sickness. But I have the basket, and I feel guilty about it, and occasionally ponder what they would think if I walked into an Olive Garden around here and tried to return it. (He did not barf in the car!)
I stole a red ramekin of guacamole from an Applebee's once. I just put it in the take-home box; I don't know what came over me. It was the guac!
