Tom, all your reactions to your therapist sound totally normal to me. Yay that he didn't die, but what a clusterfuck regardless!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I had a mini-meltdown at work. Let my anger show. We have been taken over by an enormous company based in India. They decided we all needed new TCS (them) computers and phone. They are rolling them out through the buildings. They are flawed as all get out and we are all getting very sick of the "if you've forgotten your global ID, you can interrupt one of your coworkers to log into this global website to reset your id". First of all, they should have stations on ever floor where we can go and reset this bullshit ID. but no! it's just 3-4 guys who have control over this process, and they are as frustrated and tired of the mess as we lowly worker bees are. American and Indian alike, this rollout of new equipment, new procedures, new worktypes is driving them as crazy as it is us. Today, for the 2nd time in a week (and this actually makes me one of the lucky ones) my "global id" decided to lock me out of my computer for almost an hour. I have also been locked out of the website where we record our worked hours to get paid, for a week. I lost it when the guy I called for help started giving me the same old spiel about log in from someone else's machine to reset. And actutally had to shout over him that i've heard that enough times, now I have another question, so shut up and listen!" That got through to him, but everyone around me got really quiet.
So, they fixed one problem but I still have the other. but, the mildest mannered guy on the team came by as I was trying in vain to get access to my time card and said, "you sounded really frustrated with whoever you were on the phone with. I hope it's ok now". He tends to understate things a lot. ok there may be more to this story tomorrow, but the wine is finally hitting me, so I will stop ranting. thank you for listening to my work woes. I know they are small compared to what others are enduring. I just really hate to show how bad my temper is in front of people.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The doctor who I've been seeing for my EDS, who I absolutely love and is one of the best doctors I've ever seen, and she actually listens to me, suddenly sent out an email to all of her patients saying that she's closing her practice, effective immediately. She said that it's because of medical issues that she's having. So now all of her patients are scrambling to figure out what to do. She sent out a list of other doctors that she recommends, and I really hate the whole process of trying to find a doctor that I like. For some specialties (like my hand surgeon), I'm OK with "This doctor is kind of a jerk, but they're good at what they do." But for this, I really need a doctor that I can trust to trust me. And there are a lot of doctors within pain-related specialties who really don't listen to their patients about pain.
So, tomorrow afternoon, calling around to some of the doctors on her list, I guess.
