Yawn. 5 AM was early. Hanging n the waiting room. Looks like plenty of room to set up my laptop and settle in once they take him. This is the hospital where I was born.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Best thoughts, Laura!

Lots of heart~ma, Laura.

You know, there is NOTHING I can do when the higher-ups in the Editorial Office say "Stephanie did not sent the article to the author, because I checked our database and there is no record that she did so," even though the fucking database shows that I sent the article on 3 separate dates because the author refuses to respond to us. Like, I would need to go to Chicago and press the EIC's face against the monitor and point to the goddamn emails and say "WHAT ARE THOSE, RONNIE? THOSE LOOK LIKE EMAILS WITH MY NAME ON THEM. WHAT IS YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TODAY?"
(I woke up an hour early this morning with a full-blown panic attack, and while Ativan got the panic under control, I cannot shake the overwhelming agitation, and this bullshit is bullshit I do not need today, ESPECIALLY because it's fucking incorrect, and provably so. I am about to take screenshots of all the emails and send them to Ronnie, along with a suggestion to visit a fucking eye doctor. But I shouldn't have to take screenshots, because the emails are in the database that we ALL have access to. They are RIGHT FUCKING THERE.)
Don't come at me, Ronnie. DON'T DO IT.
Fucking Ronnie.
I forgot to bring my personal stash of decaf coffee in today so I'm hitting the office regular stuff. I think I might need a second cup. I was way more awake before I got here.
Follow-up: "The emails are not in the database. Please send the file."
Reply: "See attached."
Not replied "You ignorant motherfucker."
I mean, I can re-send the file, but if it's not showing up in the database, then Ronnie won't believe that I re-sent it.
Ronnie is the worst.
