Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't think I could do a movie marathon in a theater. I need to be able to stand up and move around more easily than that.

I don't think I could do a movie marathon in a theater.

Plus there's that annoying requirement of clothes. I like being comfy when I watch movies.

I haven't seen any of these movies y'all are talking about. :)

Jesse, I find that super depressing about the resume. I would worry that the person is super out of touch--like, one of those "oh I'm not good with computers" people. I had to deal with a "I'm not good at excel" woman earlier this year and was just boggled. Like, I wasn't asking her to do anything other than sort or filter. This is not a new program. Wtf.

I mean, good god, there will NEVER be double-blind randomized clinical trials of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children, and you know why? IT'S FUCKING UNETHICAL.

There are trials though! I was on one testing a meningitis vaccine. It was looking not only at "did kids then get meningitis" (kids under 1 year are the next highest population after young adults) but it was also looking at "if they got the meningitis vaccine along with the usual recommended vaccines was there more reactions". We had a hard time enrolling in Oregon because no one was willing to do the usual recommended vaccines in the order you're supposed to!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Dunno if there's a Captain America marathon planned near me, but it's not really an option for us. If we're lucky, we'll get to see Civil War on the weekend it opens. (Thank goodness for grandparents who want to babysit the little guy.)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I went and double-checked the marathon cost - $48. I'm pretty sure the Marvel Movie one was more like $35, and was more movies, so I think I'm sticking to a DVD rewatch.

I have run out of contact lenses, so I finally just picked an optometrist near my apartment and scheduled an appointment for Saturday.

I've been failing at sleep all week, so I'm going to bed super early tonight and not planning to get to work particularly early tomorrow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, I own the DVDs of the movies I want to rewatch (TFA, Winter Soldier, Avengers), so I can do that at home, and not all in one sitting.

Damn, I'm old.

Ugh. I had a migraine most of the day, and finally took a pill at about 1, and slept for three hours. But I still feel pretty bleh, and didn't get some work done. Boo! I'm supposed to have a first date later, and super am not feeling into that plan :(

JFC, I'm being called on the carpet for not getting testing done fast enough when 1. I've been in crisis reaction mode for ops and it was made clear to them my priorities 2. They've only got 50% of my time 3. Three different fucking project just landed on my head that only I can do and all of them and testing come to roost in May. I'm working the weekend to knock some of this off.
