I do believe this is a Significant Anniversary for NO
Oh, yeah. So it is. Sympathies, Nora.
In other news, my brother the doctor is going to Liberia. Which I am NOT on board with, damn it. I don't know if he's going to be treating any patients, or just working with international staff to help set up facilities, but the whole thing really worries me. Argh.
Is this the same one who is taking the dog?
Many happy returns, meara! That does sound awesome so far.

Eek indeed! I mean, go him, but...eek.
Nope, different brother. This one's an infectious disease specialist who has spent a lot of time in Africa. He has done some consulting on Ebola, but I wasn't expecting him to go...
I would be just as happy if no one acknowledged the stupid anniversary. Next year is really going to suck.
We have off today. Nothing like a four day weekend to blunt the trauma of back-to-school in early August.
I need hivemind help for a report. If a count goes from 11 in one year to 21 in the next year, is that an approximate 50% increase or 100% increase? I know that if it went from 21 to 11, then it would be a 50% decrease but, in my head, if it doubles then it has increased by twice as much so it should be 100% increase ... maybe.
I wish I could just say it almost doubled but I need percentages for this report.
Ok, spent a couple hours and ground the paint off the tops of the rails. Going to give my hands a break and try to get the fucking spent wheel off. Not having much luck at the moment.
