'The Killer In Me'
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.
The face I am making, you guys. That is a statement that is right up there with "Everyone will help create and update a terminology list!"
Oh man, Biyi is involved in something much like one of those at the moment. She and some other interpreters are trying to create a glossary of legal terms and good Chinese translations thereof. The drama involved! The (mole)hills people choose to die on! Oh, and the snide passive-aggressiveness, that one's always fun.
I'm impressed you're still hanging in up north, Laura! You must be freezing.
Is it really going to snow? I need to find shoes that are not flip flops. Today I work fleece leggings and flip flops.

Brendon put in a new breaker and ran a new dedicated outlet for a space heater in the bedroom for us today! (if there are 2 space heaters on the same breaker it pops) Still not going to make it more than a week.
One of my crew got hurt today. The last I heard was that urgent care was sending him to the ER for x-rays and a CT scan, with some concern that there could be kidney damage. Here's hoping it's just some unpleasant bruising.
Oh no! Yes, I hope it's not too bad.
Just got word that he's "not broken" so I guess that means x-rays are done. No mention of kidneys, so I'm gonna take that as a good sign. It sounds like pain and swelling are localized to his hip now, which he is supposed to rest for a few days before reassessing.
The medical stuff will be covered by workmen's comp, but he's hourly so he won't have income for the rest of the week (at least). I may see if our coworkers want to contribute toward some food delivery gift cards.
Ooh that sucks. I am very glad that this injury should not really hurt my life financially or work-wise. Poor guy.
In case you wondered, this is the kind of thing vets do to your cat when you're not around. (I don't THINK it's abusive ... your opinion may be different.)
Ugh. I tried to not take more oxy in the middle of the night (I've been waking up and taking some every night, but last night I wasn't in pain when I woke up!) but I think that was a mistake, as I feel awful this morning. (At least I hope that's why, and not any worse reason!). Baby steps.
