It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well, last night was kinda hilarious. The announcers were droning on about how many goals the US has allowed in the first five minutes of play, and how hard that is to come back from, and almost simultaneously Dempsey scores.

The general feeling around the office is that it's embarrassing in general to lose to the US team.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I just started to go to my oncology appointment and discovered that I hadn't quite latched the door and the car battery is dead. They'll probably charge me a cancellation fee, and I'll have to have a separate appointment for my Procrit shot, which adds another $50. Here's an example of the insanity of medical costs. I could give myself the Procrit shot, but as a prescription, it would cost me $150 a shot. If I get the shot during a nurse visit, it's $50 and if I get it during an appointment for something else, there's no additional charge.
Also, I feel like death eating a cracker.

I have a battery charger, but it's 90 degrees out there and thundering. I'm not sure running a wire from the house to the car is a good idea if there's lightning.

Would calling a cab be less than the fee + $50?
Sorry you have to deal with this!

I couldn't have gotten a cab and gotten there on time. Well, maybe I could have if my brain was working at lightning speed, but it's more in giant tortoise mode. I have an appointment next week. Sigh.

Oh, god, Ginger. I wish I was near enough to be able to give you a ride. Or something. Gah.

Yikes, Ginger. I ran into similar-ish results with getting my B-12 shots. In the office along with another appointment, nothing. Special appointment just for the shot with the nurse, charged as an appointment. Plus, I sucked at remembering to schedule the appointments (not life critical). So I have a prescription at home and I'm better at taking it. Crazy making.
