Yeah, true.  But in this case, I actually do.  We're talking about people who, when making a list in MS Word, use the spacebar to put gaps between room numbers and names.

Well I work with people who use mustard gas to clean.

But your coworkers are stupider.

So, all the tests are in, and Jenn has anemia.  Which isn't GOOD, but it's in this case easily treatable.  And it's not something that's fatal or even debilitating.

This is a huge relief, since a defect in the first Ct scan had us all thinking dark thoughts.

Oh, the irony?

I'm very glad to hear this, relatively speaking. The whole "we need a second scan" had me apprehensive too. Anemia and diabetes is a harsh combo though. I shall continue to hope for the best.

You guys give med advice right?
Ive got a sore on my inner lip and it's hella painful, and my throat as a tingly pain when I swallow. I rince with mouth wash and it goes away for 6 or so hours. Any idea what this could be?

I googled it but webmd just gave me shit like general anxiety,  teething, or herpes. 

My guess is someone at your local Burger King didn't think too highly of your opinion of fast food workers and put some herpes in your Whopper.

Ok, maybe that's not my guess but it's certainly my hope.

I think he works at Burger King. Maybe he did it to himself.

Hmm? try Lysol 1 some stuff called I4get =cypeofloxicn ?/? & IOdime {Silver pre 64

:) Welcome back hirley0! I hope all your systems are functioning optimally.

Sorry, it was low-hanging fruit. I am awfully glad to hear it's a very manageable non-life-threatening thing.

Update on the mortuary meetings

They had white tents outside tonight, and barque. At 1 am.

That's a self-correcting problem, eventually.

Best I can hope for is that the mutant giant mice who live under the office eventually rise up out of the sewers and eat everyone.  Or they all mysteriously die from papercuts.  Or strangle themselves to death with the computer cables.  Or take up eating the excess of magenta ink cartridges we have.  Or I finally manage to successfully sabotage these computers to set the office on fire every time they do something dumb, as an extreme form of Pavlovian conditioning.

BBQ at the mortuary! I would do that if I owned one. Just to mess with people.

And thanks.  It's hard to describe how relieved I am.

I already screamed this all over Facebook, but I got the job! This jerk is now EMPLOYED.

It's the best job ever, too. Basically I'm going to get paid for being friendly and giving people advice on navigating academia, which is a thing I already do.
