I have to confess, the lesson I learned from Consuela is not to clean the refrigerator shelves. Was that wrong?
Hell, I could have taught you that lesson long ago!
ION, I got a filling today that I don't have to pay for (or the insurance doesn't), because the dentist decided after he did the filling that ACTUALLY, it would be better to put a crown on the tooth to keep it from cracking. So yay, free filling? Boo, wasted time in the dentist's chair.
I took half an Ativan before the appointment because I know that that kind of dental work stresses me out. But now I just want to nap. And, actually, I might, since half my mouth is too numb to eat lunch without making a mess.
Seems like the obvious moral to the story, Jesse. Might be best to stay away from cleaning entirely. To be sure.
We're pretty flexible in accommodating unplanned time off in my group, so citing the liberal leave status is just strange looking.
He's an odd duck. And I really don't understand why people pay those rents, given other options nearby. And the construction ain't that great! You can see it in how the building has weathered in the short time, and I've heard plenty about the quality inside (plus, I know some folk who did some work during construction & were just appalled at some of the stupid fuckups & shortcuts taken.)
I deliberately chose an apartment complex that was a few years old rather than one of the several fancy brand new ones, because I figured the new ones are going to have surprises show up after a full cycle of seasons.
Yeah, the shiny new library at my university was built to look like the ones built in the 1920s. However, the first hard rain showed that they weren't built near to the same quality standards. Industrial fans roared for days, and the repairs lasted almost as long as the initial construction.
It's my last day before Xmas vacation so I am cleaning my desk very conspicuously so my boss knows I am doing nothing. I am hoping he'll tell me to go home early, but I don't think it's going to happen.
before the internet, this would take months and probably over a hundred dollars.
So very true. And part of my concerns over the end of net neutrality. Sob.

Must be the time for free dental work. I had a gold crown put in last spring and it lasted about a month and came off. Since I was in NY and it didn't bother me I waited until a couple days ago to deal with it. Because I am a champion grinder the crown had a hole in it! They took a look at it and said they had made it too thin and were replacing it for free. So 4 hours in the chair putting in another temporary, since the last temp lasted less than 24 hours. Cool that they didn't blame me and are doing all this stuff free. (Yay Dental School)

I mean, better safe than sorry!!
Casper got a 61 on her Latin exam! It's a Christmas miracle! (She had a 52 for the second quarter, and her last 4 test grades in latin ranged from a high of 62.5 to a low of 20. That is, 20%.)

Yep. Getting into a 70+ year old building, I can at least be sure the basic construction is sound. Also, as it turns out, I like having layers of brick between me and shots being fired. Other people had to tell me about the recent gunfire directly behind my building rather than me hearing it myself and wondering what was going on.
