Being involved in saving people's lives, even at a remove, has got to be a very profound work experience. Happy Birthday, JZ!
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday, Jacqueline!!
I am working on-site at a medical practice that treats children (speech and OT), so there are kids running around, singing, dancing, playing, and so forth. And of course, they ask me questions about the computer, which is cute. I'll be here for a couple of days.
Pediatric Heart Surgery
They are miracle workers. My niece wasn't supposed to live because she had one too few chambers. They told her mother she wouldn't survive being born, wouldn't make it to being a toddler, wouldn't make it to puberty. They built her another wall, and have done another half dozen or so surgeries over the years because the fake wall doesn't grow with her. She is in her 30s now and has had a child herself.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, wow, can't imagine. And, although my broken parts are different,(My heart's fine, if a little too inclined to give a fuck when it's not its turn to give its owner equinamity(sp?) I'm very glad somebody notices the way we keep on keepin' on with parts damaged in shipping.) To borrow a bit from Adrienne Shelly in my favorite ep of Homicide, "Since something happened to me, I'm glad to know people like you are out there."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Thanks, everyone! I am celebrating by napping, mostly. Later Emmett will be over and we'll have some dinner and watch something (my choice, but I haven't decided yet). I finished conference, felt momentous, and then listened as everyone completely forgot it was my last time and just bickered their way into the next meeting. Ah, well. They'll feel some pain next week.
