What irritates you?

Don't say like that.

Oct 13th

one of my "sadaverseries"

you know those ones... aren't directly related like a 9/11 but still keep in your heart of the tragedy.

every year I feel somber on this day.

Oct 13, 1989 very late that night, a friend (we didn't go to highschool together, I knew her through going to concerts, we hung out that autumn of my senior yr of high school) was riding on the back of her boyfriends motorcycle. They were riding home from a highschool bonfire up in Northbranch. They had been drinking and neither had a helmet. They drove right past a road construction closed sign and died.

I think of this I think mostly because she didn't get to live the years I get to live. We were the same age. I think of the family and success she could have had. Did I do her justice in my life and live it well? She will never know how she impacted my life.

20 years ago tonight

WOW :crying:

Sorry J :chagrin: :confused:

(((((me2)))))

:frown:

Lazy co-workers! :angry:

My boss gave a task to my co-worker to get a letter done by this afternoon... she passed it off to me late yesterday afternoon and said these need to be done ASAP by noon tomorrow.

Went to my boss (as I am already doing ASAP work for him) and asked him to prioritize, he said to do the letters. So I did and emailed them to her this morning.

Now my meeting is over I get to my desk to find an email from the co-worker telling me she changed the letter and to use the new one - THEN on top of that my boss wanted to know why I didn't have this chart done for him - I reminded him that HE TOLD ME TO STOP to work on the letters to which he replied "Why isn't Mary doing those, I told her too?" :eyeroll:

Get me out of here!

Being forced to work late on a Friday when i should be home taking care of a sick friend. :confused: :chagrin: :angry:

"Automatic Clocks" that change their time for daylight savings time on the wrong day.

Spending all day yesterday with me2 in the ER and being sent home even though they confirmed she has pneumonia and coughing uncontrollably. They said she would normally be admitted but because they had a record number of people waiting for beds they had to change the criteria and if you weren't dying you weren't getting into the inn. I'm very worried and concerned right now as I can't get a hold of her and I'm way up here at work. I may just have to leave again today even if it means losing my job. :neutral: :frown: :frown: :angry: :confused:

Ugg. That sucks Cluey.

Me2 - I hope you feel better.

Irritates: sound/light/excessive stimulation of my senses.

TV on in one room, Radio on in 3 others. dryer going. Vacccum going and in the middle of it all, 3 kids wanting MY attention (so not used to that)

Last night I had a migrane (thank you running into open cupboard) and was trying to make halloween crafts with the kids. When I realized we needed plastic wrap to finish the project I practically lept out the door to go get it. The silence of the car was so welcoming, I almost drove home & crawled in my nice quiet dark bed.

I am not someone who does well with excessive outside stimuli to begin with, but yesterday nearly killed me.

Oh my! That's crazy!!!!! Wish I was there....I could buzz over and check in on her, save you the 'risk'. Hope she feels much better real soon.

TY Diggs - Headed to a different ER now. She's gotten worse and the state told us to go back in. :frown: :confused: :confused: :angry:

J being admitted for pneumonia. long nights an long couple of hard weeks. Can only hope things improve with her round the clock support team. We're in the same exact room where all my stuff started. Crazy. Only this will have a much quicker fix

Do you think her Pneumonia had anything to do with that moldy sheetrock?

J ~ Get better soon!

Hope you feel better soon, me2!

:frown:

Glad you got in J and hope you feel better real soon, keep me posted.

Irritates:

stuck in California through Sunday now :frown: been here since the 18. scheduled to go home Friday....now.....Sunday at best :confused: plant had a gas leak and have been down for 2 days - they gotta push through production material before they can run my experiments :angry: grrrrrr...no Halloween Hoopla for me :crying:

Sorry Diggs.

I remember when ares had a gas leak. But it never shut him down. In fact, it made him more efficient if anything. :ooh: :lipsealed: :barf: :sheepish:

Irritates: My best friend doing worse in the hospital. :confused: :sad: :frown: :angry:

Enjoy: That same best friend finally getting the same doctor I had that was the one to finally diagnose me and my illness.

We're praying. I guess we should be praying harder?

I hope she is going to be OK!

lots of fun halloween stuff going on out here.

you could go to SF for the exotic erotic.. NOTHING you will ever see compares to that. NOTHING.

Being turned away for tamaflu from the state hotline because I need to call 911 instead of just getting the prescription because of my heart valve. I know I have the flu. I was waiting for it because of being exposed to it. Now I have it. GIVE IT TO ME! F#$^&%&king BS!

Her daughter got the stuff as soon as she shown the first signs of getting sick. But because I'm high risk I need to end up in the emergency room via ambulance to get the stuff. AZZHJOLES!

My clinic said to call the state.

I no longer have a primary doc since she moved on. Way sad day. I miss her. I did book an appt for tomorrow with the only doc who had an opening. Other docs were booking way out over a week. You only have 48 hours to take the stuff before it loses it's effect. And this doc referred me away last time I tried to book an appt because she wasn't taking any new patients. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

Thanks ares. I'll use them if mine fails

Our main ER is United Hospital - I think that ER is STILL under construction. I haven't been near there in over six months. I think the WAIT time is about six months right now anyway...

I think if I get a high fever I may just plan on filling a bathtub full of ice and take my chances...

I still go to woodwinds. Dr Quack is gone now, thank god.

:frown: I was hoping to see you! :frown:

oh that sucks bad! :angry:

Jana being moved to ICU!!

:sad: :confused: Please get better soon my friend :sad: :confused:

I'll be back next week and will do whatever I can to help you & your family

So glad you got her in!!!

What the heck is going on with J? She got fluid in both lungs?

PLEASE get well soon!

Wow, I so sorry to hear that. They'll keep a good eye on her there. I'll be praying for her.

Prayers, prayers and more prayers.

not being able to log in for an hour at least..

Hoping there is encouraging news about me2, and that CM got his tamiflu!

Yes, I've been checking in for an update too.

Me too.

OT - I love your Maxine.

Ain't she cute? She says it all.

I changed her out just for today.

Oh yeah. We have to do the clock thing today too.

oh crap! the clock thing - that's tomorrow or monday?

CM - any update? do we know where she is? I was going to send flowers, but I don't think they allow them in ICU.

The clock thing is at 2AM Sunday, so set your clocks back an hour before going to bed tonight. Well, except for the clocks on things that (are supposed to) reset themselves. I was bored awhile ago, so I did them already. First time I can remember that I didn't have to do them the morning after.

I got church duty at 8:15 tomorrow. If I came in an hour early, even God wouldn't be awake yet. Everybody enjoy that extra hour of nappy-time...

J had a couple of bad nights. Last night was better. The Xays showed some improvement in the left lung today but not the right. They are inserting a pic line as I type this. It will be easier to treat her if stuff hits the fan. Plus it's easier for drawing blood and administering meds as well. I know it well and encouraged it.

She isn't intibated although the doc thought she might have had to be earlier. Thank God she wasn't.

I'm headed back up there now. Maybe watch the game with her. I haven't had any sleep whatsoever. I did get my Tamiflu anyway. Yea

And you're right vino - ICU won't allow flowers. It was all I could do to sneak in a pumpkin. :smile:
