Yay on the new job! Not so yay on the Tamiflu side effects.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is your job in the city, Jess? Or at least a better commute?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay new job! Boo flu!

What is even happening?
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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!

I hope the new job lives up to promise and the flu skips you.
I *still* don't know what I'm working on tomorrow. If govt reopens, a later start to the exercise, but I need to know how we are defining shifts (conventional or that other schedule they sent out) and if we're shifting the staffing schedule by 2 days or not. Only reply I got was from another wondering the same, complimenting me on my refined sarcasm. Damnit, I edited that email hard. He knows me well.

And my boss is curiously and uncharacteristically silent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh good, Jess!
Yikes, Sara. May you get information.
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.
Thanks!

The Senate postponed their vote until noon tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure your answer is "I dunno," Sara. Sorry.

I'm clear for tomorrow, regular work. No worries as to where I show up or when. Still gonna test out my 2 new alarms (I usually wake up plenty early to make a 7:30 start, but sometimes, especially in winter, I don't. So extra alarms.
