My weekend so far: Friday morning I accepted an internal transfer to a very cool sister company while DH felt crappy and stayed in bed all day. Yesterday DH was formally diagnosed with flu, so I spent the rest of the day driving to every pharmacy in town trying to find one who could fill the kids Tamiflu prescription (and intermittently calling the pediatrician and the insurance company to get the prescription transferred) . The only place who had any in stock only had one dose left of the generic, so that was expensive. Today I decided to take the three healthy family members to see Coco again because good lord we needed a break, and on the way there I was pulled over for having an expired inspection (which I kind of knew about, I just hadn't gotten around to it yet). So I spent an hour finding the only car place open on Sundays and now I'm waiting for them to finish up.
And I'm hoping the reason I feel shitty is because Tamiflu has side effects and I'm exhausted, and not because I have the flu.
Good lord, Jess.
How do you feel about the job?
Exciting about the transfer! Do you have a quarantine area to stay at a distance from poor DH?
Yay transfer! Boo flu.
I ran some errands earlier, but it is crazy crazy windy here, and I am having a hard time motivating to get things done (none of the errands were really *necessary* stuff...)
New job is going to be good, I think!
I don't have a quarantine zone, just prophylactic Tamiflu, handwashing, and hope.
Yay on the new job! Not so yay on the Tamiflu side effects.
Is your job in the city, Jess? Or at least a better commute?
I've been pretending I might not watch it, but I just set my DVR to record The Resident, which does not look good per se, but Matt Czuchry, Emily Van Camp, AND Melina Kanakaredes??
The ads for that look like the distilled parody of all fake medicals shows ever.
Yeah, I watched a screener and the promos don't lie. It wasn't good, but the cast was. The characters are uber stock characters. Czuchry's character is a non-funny Dr. Cox (Scrubs) or perhaps a young Dr. House. The old doctor is a Kelso, but *
actually evil.
It wasn't a torturous hour of mindless entertainment, because of the acting, but I don't think I'll turn in regularly, unless they rework a whole lot.
There was a funny little House shout-out early on... *
someone rattles a bunch of symptoms off at Czuchry's character and he says, "It's Lupus."
I never watched House, so I think I only caught it because of the Buffistas. *
Yes, I know with House it's never Lupus.
Good luck with the job, Jess. I hope you feel better.
Is your job in the city, Jess? Or at least a better commute?
Yep, it's in Manhattan. On nice days, within walking distance of GCT (which takes longer but is nicer than either being in the car or on the subway). Fastest possible commute if the trains line up is exactly an hour door to door, which is a huge improvement!
