Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ugh. I went back to work yesterday(even though we didn't go to Florida, I still took the days I requested) and found we were quite short staffed. One person was on leave, another was out for a doctor's visit and a third was home awaiting results of a COVID test. That left me and the post-bac to process all the samples until the late-shift person came in at noon. It was pretty rough.

Today was worse. I got to the lab, found nobody there and called my supervisor(who had taken the day off) only to find that the post-bac called in sick, the person who was out yesterday for a doctor's visit was also out sick, and the person who was waiting on test results was still home waiting. That left me as the only person processing samples until the late-shift person got there. (There was one other person in the lab, but she doesn't process samples) Not a fun day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

looks like the issue with Steph's link is a period at the end of the URL.

Ooops, fixed my link. Thanks, dcp!

I'm so sorry, askye.

Sheryl, that sounds like some no-good, very bad days.

My return flights are both delayed. My regional flight is awaiting maintenance to clear the plane because of a bird strike. If we actually depart as rescheduled, I should still be able to make my connection. I'll be getting home even later than planned, but all I really need to do tomorrow is get to the pharmacy before it closes and get groceries.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hooray, plane!

I have made it to Detroit where my connecting flight has been delayed further, so I am soothing myself with the Celery Juice episode of Maintenance Phase.

I am sorry you are delayed, but it is so weird that I was just listening to Maintenance Phase. I mean, I guess not, because we have all known each other for so long that our tastes are probably in alignment, but…

Yeah so it took me nine hours to go what should have taken 3.5. I gave up and got a hotel room but I’m so annoyed!!
