Thanks everyone.
He's still in the hospital. Trying again to see if he can tolerate clear liquids. The path to getting home is clearing the infection (yesterday's labs were good) -> tolerating clear liquids -> tolerating formula (like Ensure, Boost, etc).
Surgery will likely come in 6 - 8 weeks. I hope his doc is back today (he's been on vacation, which I know was to be two weeks, but I didn't know the start date).
The hospital he's in is fantastic, but it's still a hospital.
Continuing to send the ~ma. Good labs is definitely a plus.
It is a cold and rainy morning. I am working but DH is doing the proper thing and is still in bed. I think this means he has to take me out to dinner tonight.
Cindy, I'm sorry. Probably dumb question -- is there anything your son can do online to keep up with at least some classes? Maybe independent research?
Jeeesus Christ, this prescription I've been trying to get for a week was apparently sent to a completely different pharmacy than the one I use for everything else? I don't know why they insist on using this pharmacy for this one drug, or why it didn't occur to anyone to TELL ME they were sending it there.
And this potential tech writing job is turning into more of a business analyst job, and I am too tired to work through all of these nuances and shit.
Oy. But you can have prescription now, I hope?
Oh, hey, I'm a Business Analyst. That job has probably very little in common with mine, though. It's one of those titles that means nothing, afaict
It's wrong of me to think of any job interview that doesn't end with an on-the-spot job offer to be a failure, right?
I mean, I know how things work in the real world, where there's HR and boss managers have to meet you first and stuff, but really, that's what my heart wants.

Unless you are interviewing with people who you've worked with before, I'm pretty sure that's very unlikely to happen. If there's an HR department involved, then I'd say it never happens.
I thought of this just now for no good reason, but: When I was at the band retreat the other weekend, the bathrooms were all-gender. There were a couple of stalls, a couple of showers, and a urinal kind of tucked next to the stalls. I was surprised that men would just go use the urinal when I was (for example) brushing my teeth! We were facing away from each other and I wouldn't have seen anything anyway, but I just thought it was interesting. And not something I bet a woman would do if there were an equivalent situation.
Men, what say you?
