When the feeder is empty, I have a couple of doves that wait until I'm outside to alight, peck noisily on the ditch, and, I swear, turn to look at me for reaction. And when I dutifully come out with a refill, they only go as far as the nearest wire until I step back from the railing.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

I was at a different Kaiser facility than usually does my labs. I think of them as incompetent, but it seemed easier. When I went in, I said, "I mainly need the CBC," and she said, "What about the other labs your doctor ordered?" I said, "Okay, but I don't need the big chem panel. I had that last week." Guess what she didn't run? Now I have to go back out in the morning, and it will probably delay the transfusion I know I need.
So irritated.

I was never impressed by the organizational skills of the cancer facilities. It always seemed they were working off a checklist of standard treatment and being baffled by the actual human in front of them.

God damn it, hockey. I have a lot of shit to do tomorrow and I was going to go to bed when you were done, but now we're in OT!

My brother is going to Egypt for work! Conference in Alexandria, but they're also arranging stuff for him in Cairo. I'm envious.

I'm envious of sarameg's brother, too!

I'm tired because the game last night went past 1AM in 3OT and I guess broke a record for the longest Blackhawks game in history?
I'm going to need a lot of coffee, you guys.

Hey. New board.
Did your team win at least?

Yes. I would be way more petulant about lack of sleep if we'd lost.
