Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And how many people will buy a bag to see if it's really that terrible? or because they honestly think it'll be good?

Oh, I really REALLY have to try them. Mostly because I want to try everything. I don't really like beer but I'll drink beer flights to see what they're all like.

Auspicious day -- Happy Birthday to Matt, Cash, and megan!

Got my booster on Monday. Did I already post that? Anyway, super tired for a while and slightly sore arm, and that was that. Glad to be boosted.

Have had a kind of slow day today. Got one thing done that I'd really been procrastinating on, so that feels good.

I have this weird feeling that the winter holidays are already here, but, really, it's only mid-October. Maybe I'm just looking forward to them as they will be better than two years ago in this hospital and last year in the same boat as everyone with the pandemic. Or, decidedly NOT in the same boat with anyone, because... pandemic. Anyway, yay for holiday spirit, I guess?

And so I don't sully the birthday wishes, I just love the painstaking process of having to annotate patient registration PDF forms because they aren't fillable and I don't have a printer. I also am making a note to call my insurance before I go to this podiatrist appointment to make SURE I don't need a referral. Why not, annotating these forms is already making me lose my will to live.

I also have a haircut appointment scheduled for Saturday and I need to make some decisions about What I Want.

After I went to the trouble of annotating the forms, they sent me another email a little bit ago with fillable forms. Ha ha. Ha.

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

I have an appointment tomorrow with the blood pressure specialist and Kaiser asked me to check in now, so I did, and one of the pre-appointment questions is “is this a work-related injury” and I said no but now I’m vaguely wondering if it could be what with the stress from work for the last, um, however long it’s been. Probably not, right?

I assume that's a "is this a worker's comp situation?" question, since I also just was filling out information about whether my visit was a work-related injury.

Yeah. Insurance companies love to look for someone else to pay.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Good luck with this! My stylist is moving to Alabama at the end of the year. I have already told her she has to write up exactly what she does because the only instruction I give her is, "The shortest layer has to be long enough for a ponytail. Other than that, do what you want." I literally have no idea. I want to be able to walk into a new stylist and, rather than a pic from a magazine, hand them some notes and say, "do this."
