Yesterday I finished the probationary period at my job. Today my manager and another coworker decided that 4pm on a Friday was the right time for kooshball juggling practice. The manager's up to 4 at a time. I'm enjoying my job so far.

OMG sarameg, living in the future!

That is good to hear, Calli!

I know, right? They scanned my whole head in a standing X-ray like thingy. Bonus, my dentist tells me I have no head tumors?

Always reassuring to know.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I was a teenager, my x-rays showed that I only had the beginnings of three wisdom teeth, so the dentist took x-rays of my whole head and neck to make sure the missing tooth wasn't growing in somewhere else.

I had digital x-rays Tuesday, but nothing like sarameg's. My dentist is going to tackle what sounds like pretty extensive decay next week, but now I want a dentist from the future. Because of a drug I'm on, extensive dental work can make me more prone to a disgusting jaw bone infection. I'm not all that convinced of the connection, since it's a small increase in a small population, but it makes dentists very nervous.

You deserve a futuristic dentist.

ION, I fried up a ham steak for dinner in some butter, then decided to grind some salt and garlic on top of it. Very nice pings of extra flavor.

I'm sorry there's extra risk, Ginger. I hope it all goes smoothly.

They were showing me the X-Rays basically as they were taking them Amazing!

Everyone should have dentists from the future who don't make them nervous! If they want them. I had one of those head scans at my dentist and it felt like Star Trek.

Yay job, Calli!

I appear to be signing a lease?! For the Park West place. It's 40 pages long!
