    PPfffttt. Buy a bottle at a liquor store and enjoy it at home. Although that expenditure (is $2,000.00 a bottle correct?) might still qualify as splurging.

    I have a bottle at home right now, still waiting to be cracked open for the right special occasion.

    I think it was about $280-300 when I bought it a couple years ago. (I was able to get 6 bottles that year, half of which I sold to friends at my cost.) The problem is that it is basically impossible to purchase anywhere. Every liquor store I know has long waiting lists and seem to only get a bottle or two a year.


    I could probably get a black market bottle for about the price you listed. But that is too rich for my blood.

    I hate my job.

    Can I get a do-over?

    Almost just died because some lady got on the machine next to mine wearing some kind of scent even though this is a fragrance free facility. I was really scared because suddenly I couldn't catch my breath and my heart rate was really high because I was at the end of an interval.

    Ouch, just from coughing?
    Take care of yourself, I've cracked ribs when my bike dropped me.
    Feel for you.

    Yeah, that's why they had me drinking liquid codeine at night to try and control the coughing some. Protip on that by the way it doesn't seem to work compared to normal OTC cough medication like delsym or robitussin.

    Today is filled with my least favourite kind of work. With luck, I won't have to worry about it again until next week.

    (Not holding my breath.)

    Are you a typist (not necessary, but helpful)? You could try abstracting, but after being an editor the horrible writing would drive you crazy.

    The downside to carpooling for the sake of working 25 miles away: sometimes I miss out on jobs because I have to double-check with my carpool buddy (my husband). Oh well. There will be other jobs.

    Did my taxes over the weekend. Where I owed X dollars last year, I owe 9X dollars this one. WTF?

    I have the money; but damn that's a big jump.

    This was the first year we actually had to pay something--only state taxes, but still :( Next year will be worse, I reckon. We didn't get much back from the Feds, and that's okay, as I'd rather they owe me something than have to pay them; my income, in particular, isn't always subject to federal withholding.
