Open Bar: Arguments About Turtles, All the Way Down

Well, do people leave you the fuck alone? The opposite seems to occur.

And "The welcoming fist" sounds like either a terrible martial art, among other things.

IRL, I usually get left alone.  It does not translate well to the interbutts.  It has taken a while to catch on at work, but functions normally now (mosly on account of my new job duties, which seemed to have caused my erstwhile coworkers to look at me like I'm the fucking NKVD or something).

[Junkenstein]

Interesting. It sounds like that the new duties are amplifying the existing fist?

Does your increased role result in the ability to allow any increased leniency on a fuck-up? From their apparent reactions I'd guess not.

A better question, might be - Why does it worry you? I can guess but I'd prefer not to assume here.

When I saw what my new job was, I immediately and blatantly ripped off Grant Morrison.  We are the Science Gestapo.

And it worries me because I once spent 8 months here yelling at people for becoming their labels.

Friend in KC's mom may have TB.  She's had pneumonia for a month, and it hasn't been healing, so she went to the ER today, and sure 'nuff, they took a CT scan and found lesions in her lungs. I hope that if it DOES turn out to be TB that they can stop it, but since she's already been on some antibiotics for the pneumonia, they're hoping it's not drug resistant. What bakes my noodle is that here is this woman coughing uncontrollably for weeks and they don't give her a TB test? REALLY?

People are freaking out over Ebola, and Consumption is creeping up on people left and right like the kiss of death.

One day, but not if I can help it, it will likely back up so bad that the pressure will pack it like a  cigarette. Then we shall see how things go. The chute is built into the middle of the building. There's no way to remove it in such a situation and they've made no moves to replace it before this happens. This is just one of dozens of little bits of folly I deal with. Decisions out of my hands and all I can do is watch and adapt..  or get the hell out.

Joe, Have a word with me if/when this occurs. I've dealt with similar kinds of situations and there's PLENTY of fun to be had here.

Happily. Took a few choice pics as today (the guy on days that should have cleared it failed to do so) and as soon as I get my butt onto figuring how to post pics I'll share a few images. My NDA ain't that tight.

LOL no just kidding, tests are negative for TB. It's leukemia.

On that note, I'm going to call my friend and keep her fucking sane.

Emote....



Not sure if that's appropriate but it seems to fit how that made me feel.

When a new social function becomes available, it's natural to dive in headfirst, and wear the uniform for a bit.  When the novelty wears off, you can start messing with the label's expectations.

PD, where horribly mixing metaphors is just another Thursday.

Fortunately, no kid on EARTH views Fox News as a role model.

BUT STILL.

You make an excellent point.

The irony of life when anti-gmo people lecture you about nutrition and health while smoking cigarettes.

I don't remember whether I mentioned this yesterday, but my dishwasher crapped the bed.

I hate being poor.
