I'm suddenly reminded of last (last? 2 years ago?) DragonCon when Chris Judge suddenly became aware of furries.

Ha! That's exactly where my mind went too - oh, bless him, he took SO LONG to wrap his head around the concept. It was adorable.

"They do what? WHAT?" *sunglasses come off, total disbelief* "NO."

Hee.

I'm quite certain I know who actually keeps the handcuff keys in his pocketses, right next to the sonic screwdriver.

Barrowman?

Oh, Ben Browder. How can one man have so much of the HOTT?

::le sigh::

Is that a sonic screwdriver in your pocket, or... oh. it is. never mind then.

Further to the ficcish discussion about the Warnings Debate over on LJ recently: I found this post both interesting and thought-provoking.

Browder is delicious. I almost expect Cass to show up now to laugh at me for reasons I will not specify. Anyhow, he kind of needs to be observed in motion. And in leather.

Kid calls my office says "I know that you have to have 30 credits and a 3.6 to be in the Honors Program, but what if you have 29 credits" YOU'RE NOT FUCKING ELIGIBLE, YOU FUCKWIT!!!

By definition, if you can't read the instructions, you're not honors program material.

I grit my teeth so hard to keep from losing my temper in a monumental way at an idiot medical assistant today that now my face hurts.

The story: My tongue has been sore since February. It looks like a form of a fungal infection, but several rounds of anti-fungal medication did nothing for it. When I went to the ENT, after he offered no ideas or solutions about my sinus pain, he said he didn't think the tongue thing was a fungus, but the thing to do was to take a culture and find out. He noted that it would take a while to get results. I got results to my Kaiser account online about bacteria, but nothing about fungi.

Several weeks went by, in which I was distracted by the tendonitis in my wrist going to DefCon 4. Finally I e-mailed him, and he discovered that the entirely wrong test had been ordered. They set up another appointment two weeks later for me to have a new culture. I got the same assistant person, and when she looked it up in the computer, she said, "Oh, I guess I ordered the wrong test. At least we're not charging you for this visit." Then she giggled. When the doctor asked her for the testing stuff, she brought back a handful of random different things and said, "Is one of these right?" He grit his teeth and left the room. He then found the right testing kit. She started offering random ideas about what she should put in the computer to get the right test. He grit his teeth again and said "I'll do it."

Browder is delicious. I almost expect Cass to show up now to laugh at me for reasons I will not specify. Anyhow, he kind of needs to be observed in motion. And in leather.

I can do it for her!

Good gravy, Ginger. If your doctor's back office staff get any stupider, he'll have to have Crighton come up with a plan to get them to accomplish anything.
