Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm off to fax something right now!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've had to use faxes recently for medical/disability forms, supposedly for privacy reasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't used a fax machine in a couple months, but they were an integral part of my timesheet routine, for instance. The faxes at our office get a reasonably regular workout.

And I was requested to send a fax pretty often when I was jobless, for signed releases. There's little agreement about email image formats.

eta: And, of course, my pharmacy faxes all the time. It's how they get their prescription refill authorisations. ALL the time.

And I want to know how that person avoids catalogs. I'd really like to phase out mine.

I like that someone on the OB post is recommending getting pregnant to avoid needing them. I much rather that to the endless Diva Cup recommendations you get on Jezebel. Been there, tried that, want my OBs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. I am reminded of my stupid ex-boss who left mortgage paperwork on the fax machine.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

We use faxes more than I'd like, but always medical stuff. Each time I think to myself, "Faxes?! Can you pick a more inconvenient way to do paperwork? I think not."

Still waiting for discharge. Grace1 is now walkign around her room, attached to the IV, throwing her washcloth on the ground and picking it up. And helping me type too.

OK, I just ordered a bottle of champagne for my cousin and her husband, out of lack of a better idea. Eh. It's supposedly getting there tomorrow, though!

I was up until stupid o'clock writing. I get to finish that tonight while I do laundry and pack and flip out like a mammal.

Did anyone else know that the new Shonda Rhimes jungle medical show (whose promos have been giving me Bad Medicine flashbacks) stars Caroline Dhavernas as the protagonist?
