    Someone is running some kind of motorized air contraption, whether for sucking or blowing. It's far enough away to keep me from knowing where it's coming from but close enough for me to be annoyed by its volume and pitch. It sounds like a giant hair dryer.

    This had better not be an all-day thing, ffs.

    [EDIT: The very second I clicked to post this, the thing shut off. It was like magic. Let's hope it stays off.]

    Woke up from a very upsetting nightmare about one of my cats getting lost in midtown Manhattan and being run over by a bus. In the dream, when I told my ex about it, she showed little to know emotion.

    I am so very glad that was just a dream. I got up afterwards and went straight downstairs to give the kitty lots and lots of love.

    More bitching: apparently our infection prevention department thinks this—not vetted at all through the marketing department as all materials intended to be seen by patients and the general public—is totally acceptable for circulation as is:

    Something tells me I'd better watch my back—they're gunning for my job.

    Looks like they're using guns more of the Baraka_Guru variety than of the Plan9. I think you're safe. Unless it's somehow 1997 again and everyone forgot to tell me.

    Don't you have any time left to be awesome today? Maybe you can wedge it in between times of being plain nice and really cool.

    An online buddy that I've had for 10+ years got a puppy just after I got Stanley. We were constantly exchanging messages, suggestions, pictures, and ideas to each other about training and feeding our dogs. It got out of the electronic fence Sunday night and was hit by a car either late Sunday night or early Monday. He didn't make it. I'm almost ready to cry over it myself. Sounds weird to say that about a dog I've never met, owned by a guy I've never met, but it really has me down. I have a lot of respect for the guy, and know he loved that dog like I do Stanley. Ugh, horrible.
     
  10. Eating dinner and a crown came off. Damn it. So far the tooth isn't aching. May have had a root canal. But my bite is now totally messed up. Like I was eating with someone else's mouth. Pisses me off.

    Dear headache,
    Seriously, no response to the migraine medications or the muscle relaxer. I'm exhausted and you and your new partner, insomnia, should totally piss off.

    Sleep was not for me last night. I probably clocked just under 6 hours. Brutal.

    Ok, anyone does what the fuck is "Zorpia?" I keep getting e-mails (google account) telling me I have a new private message from ________. I don't know _______, but __________ has sent me about 8 messages in the past couple of weeks. At first I simply trashed them as spam. After the third or fourth message I became a little curious and decided to read it. According to the e-mail notifying me of this "message from a friend" all I needed to do was to log into Google and I'd be able to read it. I was logged in so I clicked the link. According to the page the link directed me to I have several message from several friends, all from the middle east, none of them I've ever heard of, unless of course their screen name on here or another site would spark my memory. The page requires me to give the app "Zorpia" the right to - "View basic information about your account, View your email addresses" and most alarming to me- "Manage your contacts" Yeah, nuts to that. In... fact fuck you! I have no interest in allowing even my good friends to "manage my contacts" for me. Yet alone some app I've never heard of, I've been managing them just fine for the past decade or so.

    So if you are Mohamad from Egypt or Loretta55 from Egypt or Amoraaa88 from Egypt or Hussin from Egypt or FYI from Hong Kong- just send me an e-mail if you actually do know me or message here or where ever it is you know me from or piss off.

    That is all, carry on.

    I'm not so much complaining about the net benefit so much as the timing, but just as I was gearing up to do some crazy-ass self-promotion, networking, and shit to drum up some new clients, a bunch of stuff just happens to be coming in on its own.

    I can't really complain because I can't think of a better thing to disrupt the process of finding more business than, well, more business. :confused:

    FB tip#1: Dear FB friend, it's wonderful that you post an inspirational message everyday, but would you mind shoving up your inspirational ass??

    Oh, and by the way, no I WON'T click LIKE on your stupid picture of a puppy, or a kitten, etc.

    Thanks for listening

    Getting quite sick of American universities and their MO of dealing with students in a condescending tone, as if we're badly behaving teenagers.

    The difference between European and American academia really gets on my tits sometimes. No wonder the US system churns out low-quality theses like no tomorrow.

    Rage-inducing.

    ...

    In other news, the arrogant European in me needs to die.
