I think it depends on why it's not yet ok—is there something more they can/need to do, to make it ok? Or just they've done what they can and it still sucks? Like, someone knocks into you and spills your drink. If they just apologize, you might respond asking them to get you another drink! If they've already offered/done so, and it's that you've now got coffee on your pants and there's nothing they can really fix about that, then yeah, I'd go with thank you.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've learned to warn them that it's sometimes hard to get a vein on me and suggest they use the person who's best at it. Usually the lab people and donation people are aces at it, but random nurses can be less so.

Yeah, this guy was not new - he remembered a freckle in the crook of my arm and said, "remember, I said to aim for the freckle?" The fact that the freckle is on my left arm and I prefer that they use my right, which I said but he chose not to do, was one of the many things he said/did that got my dander up that day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
On a related note: what have we decided is the appropriate response when someone apologizes, but you're not gonna say "It's OK" because it's not, at least not yet?
What Atropa said or "Thank you for your apology."
ltc sang me an elaborate Halloween song at bedtime tonight about zombies etc. I asked her where she heard it, and she said she made it up. I'm going to have to try to record it tomorrow.

"I appreciate your apology" is what I'm teaching myself to say in response.
Yeah, I'm trying to go with "I appreciate your apology" as well, but sometimes I'm so flustered that I forget and just say "...okay" and then there's an awkward silence.

Twitter won't let me post anything.

I can't view tweets. Something's clearly going on, and it's really interfering with my time-wasting.

TCG is at a meeting, and ltc is in bed. So, I'm watching TV and want to tweet about it. I've been feeling very isolated lately, and tweeting about stupid stuff helps a little bit.

What is even happening?
Twitter's back now, at least for me.
