In other news, I was just in a meeting with a bunch of people in the room, and all the high muckety-mucks on the phone, and I felt so bad for the one guy (in the room) who has a stutter, because every time he was trying to say something, it took a while, and half the people on the phone were like, "What? Are you cutting out??"
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coding and Sleeping
Some. Not exactly ideal conditions, but I lack to setup to do work from my room so I've done a lot more watching Netflix, listening to Audiobooks and Podcasts than I normally would ever do. Also done some writing. Having people come in every so often to stick me with needles and the occasional excruciating pain is a bit sub-optimal. Window is pretty nice though as it overlooks a fountain and little park.

Glad you're OK dcp, even if the car isn't!
Unfortunately hospitals are never restful, but I hope at least it's non-stressful being taken care of instead of the opposite, Gud.
Re:The next time I'm on antibiotics I'm going to start taking Florstar proactively, because C. dif. is no joke.
Definitely not. It made my dad's last month far more unpleasant and painful than it would have been otherwise (moving him constantly for cleanup caused a lot of pain on his paralyzed side).

If nothing else, Gud, your absence from home may help remind some people of just how much you do there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The little things always help.

Then there's the waking you up to give you a sleeping pill ... (happened to someone I know)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband is on the phone getting insurance set up for a new car. The CSR has sounded like your typical slightly clueless but well-intentioned mid-twenties professional. Then he asked what kind of car my husband is getting (a Mazda 6).
Insurance guy: Duuuuuude, that must be a sweeeeeet ride!

The people on the phones get their thrills where they can.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Duuuuuude, that must be a sweeeeeet ride!
I would have automatically responded "WHAT DOES MINE SAY?"
