Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Punishingly Intricate

The hospital that I work adjacent to and the entire campus had an electricity outage today! All the backup power went on, but things went out momentarily even in places like the OR. Right after our time clock system was out momentarily. Right after I spent half the day trying to access other resources. I don’t want to say I am paranoid, but are we just hacked. We have so many third party integrations with things…

Oh yeah there is definitely something up. Same thing happened at UCSF and at Hopkins in the last couple of months.

Thrive to spite them

Thanks dcp. I'll let them know. He won't be doing chemo. His wife passed away from breast cancer and after watching her experience he decided he wouldn't do chemo if he ever got cancer.

Actually he and my aunt had a big conversation about their relationship and what would happen if one of them got very sick (he is about 10 years older than her) and his kids will be taking on a lot of caregiving when it comes to that. My aunt has spent most of her adult life as a caregiver and her partner didn't want her to take that on again.

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

That sounds like they are well prepared, askye, but I’m sorry they have to go through it

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, Karl, that's very kind!

I have to make an appointment with someone I guess.

Today I was all excited because I thought we would be able to give my incoming hire a start date -- and instead I got an email indicating that all new hires are on hold and in order to get a waiver you have to go all the way to S1. Which is the former gov of SD who killed a puppy.

... I cannot even.

So instead I'm watching John Oliver and I ate a large piece of Guinness chocolate cake that my sister left for me.
