The Last Whiskey Bar

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Besides. If anarchangel is getting down to some writing soon itll do me good to start getting the creative juices flowing.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Gonna try to nap now, for lack of anything better to do.

[LMNO]

I'm doing all kinds of new things, all the time. They just don't involve being entertainment.

I'm sorry that you feel discouraged by people not posting on the internet, but man.

I need some sleep.  I am screamingly desperate for sleep.  4 mg of benzos, and nothing.  For days.

I want to hear it. Even if i cant read it all or post anything long in the meantime.

Well, that's just it.  There's nothing left to write.  It's all been said before...Everything's a rehash of something else, because I've more or less been typing into a vacuum, or screaming into a void.  Sometimes the void answers back, but never with conversation arguing the point or adding to it.  I'd say I'm back in the Nashville bus station, but everyone's heard that bit, too.

Christ, I'm tired...Physically tired and mentally tired.

Tell me about it.  Or, don't.  Preaching to the choir.  3-4 hours of what technically counts as sleep.  Kind of fucks with the skills.

I think I need to either go on a creative binge, or just shut down entirely.  Probably shut down.

But there's more of Boston's history to write.  I just found out the true causes of the Molasses Flood.

Can you talk to your doc about switching you from benzos to something else for a while? It sounds like you've built up a tolerance and you might have to switch for them to become effective again.

I think I've asked this before, but what about pot?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I am in the middle of updating my OS. Lord, this kinda sucks.

No can do.  Refinery rules are exempt from the card.

And it doesn't matter what I take.  I occasionally hit round spots where I'd stay awake through Ambien, even.  It'll pass.  In a century or two.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well shit, I changed the resolution on my monitor and while everything is now huge, it stopped flickering.

This completely does not answer the question of why it started flickering in the first place, but at least I don't need a new monitor!

It's odd and slightly hilarious that you are allowed to tun around all doped up on benzos all day, but you can't have pot even by prescription.

Despite my personal stance against medical marijuana, I'm going to say I agree with Nigel.  Technically, if they are going to allow workers to work while using prescription drugs they should also allow medical marijuana.  That is, it should be equitable.  If one is okay, the other should be too.  Unless of course where you work receives federal funds, in which case I'd see why they wouldn't allow workers to use medical marijuana. 

[Cain]

Big Oil is a federal industry.

Sure, maybe not on paper, but de facto you know I'm right.

Because the congressmen that set these requirements are funded and lobbied by Big Pharma, and weed is BAD and pills are GOOD, because they can't control weed and sell it, while they can with pills.  Also, allowing certain core industries to use weed would invalidate the "WEED IS THE DEVIL" religion that sprung up in 1933 and 1981. 

As always, it's economics, enforced by what amounts to a religion...Even leaving aside decriminalization for recreational use, which I think we can safely leave alone for this discussion.

[AFK]

Yeah, I'd be surprised given that it's oil if federal funds weren't involved somewhere.  Though, it's prerty clear to me that the Obama administration has absolutely ZERO interest in enforcing federal marijuana laws, at least, with respect to medical marijuana and the new recreational laws in Colorado and Washington.

Yeah, well, I still get fired.  Our industry is HUGE on following the rules...Mostly because we wrote 'em.  Or at least most of them.

Doesn't surprise me.  Now, if it had been Big Tobacco, you'd be golden because Big Tobacco is already setting up the marketing andcommercial machinery for when marijuana is legalized federally, because that WILL happen.  They've already started to trademark brand names.

I made the mistake of replying to my mother's "Merry Christmas, wish you were here." text, once I stopped laughing. Now she's leaving drunken messages on my phone and texting me random horrible weather updates for states that I don't live in. Because 'the South' is sort of one large interconnected mass that experiences all the same weather all at once and tornadoes in Texas are a worry for Georgians.
