Sounds like you might end up meeting them sooner, Maria!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
What a shock -- my coworker is no longer interested in the boring task we were doing this morning, so she's dumping it all on me, while also telling me how to do my job.
Have I mentioned how super-sad I am not to be in the office? Soooooper sad.

No shit. This BS "oh but it's an ELECTION YEAR" is one thing...but if Hilary is elected I hope Obama pulls the current nom and says "Oh just you wait...she's nominating someone SUPER LEFTY"
I'd like to see HRC appoint Obama to the SC. Hey, it was good enough for William Taft.

I am in New Orleans and stuck in all-day meeting that started at 7:30AM, yay!
Welcome! Personally, I think that wandering around New Orleans is a perfectly valid use of time in lieu of boring symposia.
I miss my MIT health plan like whoa. no copays, cheap prescriptions, flex account, off site referrals didn't come with any major money - even for my sleep study and various cat scans and ultrasounds and MRIs to try and figure out my weird stomach issues. Got hammered for crazy MRI cost (around $750) a couple years ago with my shoulder issues.
I wonder if things are still as awesome there, or if they've been moving up the scale of suck with the passage of time too.

I can't even.
What Plei said/asked above. I've recently read some very reassuring things about quality of health care in Canada.

You can always find people with complaints, especially coming off a conservative government that's been trying to slash funding and stir up discontent. No Canadian I've ever met would get within a mile of the US system.

I have voted! Now I'm on my way to a salon for a Madam President mani-pedi and a glass of champagne. (Was going to do it the other way around but time was tight and I didn't want to risk missing voting today.)

Also, under HRC, we get the first woman POTUS.
Which seems to get remarkably little attention.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Endoscopy went fine, though they were running behind, which meant I was sitting in the pre-op room for almost two hours before they finally rolled me back.
My mentioning that I remembered the previous two procedures apparently inspired them to really crank up the sleepy juice, because despite being it 4 hours and nap later my brain is still completely useless.
GERD meds are doubled for now and I've got an additional diagnosis to Google when I can brain again.

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.
I hope the new diagnosis is useful, Kalshane.
