Kalshane, I hope this is the start of a good treatment plan for you.
This I actually have seen—more than one minor pro hockey player delaying their return home to Canada so they could get medical care under their US doctors. May have been something about familiarity with the team's doctors though.
It probably has more to do with continuity of care, especially if the reason for the doctor's visits is the result of playing the game. Many organizations will not clear a player to play unless they are/were under treatment by team physicians.
JFC this kid is gonna kill me. Was late getting ready so I left him this morning. Did he go catch the bus? No! He went back to bed. Fuck!
Hopefully, his brain will start making the connection between cause and effect before he has to hold down a job.
The Final Jeopardy answer last night was "echidna" and I got it right by knowing it's one of only two mammals that lay eggs (and Platypus was not a Greek goddess). So thanks, billytea, for the echidna knowledge I've gathered over the years.
Coffee and a chocolate bar, breakfast of... not champions, really, more the guy who cleans up after champions.
Volans, I share your exasperation with jerkface academics this morning.
I don't wanna work at all today. I just want to snuggle the puppy.

I was watching that going, "Platypus, platypus -- how is platypus Greek?? But it's platypus -- NO IT'S ECHIDNA!!!!"
I'm having one of those days where I hope maybe I am getting a cold so I can stay home and lie on the sofa all day.

This is what I'm going with. The rest of Chez Volans have been down with colds for two days so it's plausible. After I finish forcing Dr. Jerkface to actually do something I'm retreating to a sofa and blanket.

I think I could reach enlightenment using this as my mantra. Koan. Whichever.
I was feeling icky Monday night and was hoping I would feel equally bad Tuesday morning because clearly that would mean I should stay home and curl up on the couch all day, but no such luck.
A driver at work just casually said that we should go to the opera together (I had just said I needed to practice fancy make up in case I go to the Academy Awards this year).
He is married and has 3 kids.
Unacceptable.
Eh.

I think we should all stay home regardless! And yet? Somehow in this job I can't give myself the day. I'm not even really getting anything done! But I'm in the office, goddammit.
