Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Our wings are not tired.

I attribute ita (not going to urgent care) to her boss who Does Not Get It and gives her shot for time missed from the office.

Eta: fucking iPhone. When I type shit, I mean "shit". Not shot.

Eta more: I'm just furious on behalf of ita and everyone else who can't seek medical treatment because of supervisors who can't "see" the pain. Maybe I'm just touchy because my absolute star of an employee battles migraines. He's always so thankful that I'm supportive and flexible to his environmental needs, and I tell him I love too many people who battle this insane invisible killer. And, like ita, he's phenomenally good employee. People aren't robots.

Despite the fact that they were given two different credit cards from two different people who checked in and out at different times, they only charged one card.

Oh, for pete's sake. Bah. Par for the course, though: I recall the bar also screwed up Perkins' bill.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think urgent care might be a good choice for ita. I am a reluctant doctor goer myself, as I am also a hypochondriac, and it is very difficult to tell if I am really sick.

What javachik said. And love to her for being an awesome boss who Gets It.

Because books.

I can't hula hoop anymore. My hips just don't seem to work that way. (My)Sara loves hers, though. (No clue how our sara feels about it.)

Amy, have you tried a big adult hoop? Much, much easier than the kid ones. The bigger and heavier, the easier, generally.

msbelle, that could be a cool thing for Mac to get into. Active, creative, etc.

Hey, hivemind, is there a standard for formatting numbers in a document? Something like, under 100 you spell it out; over, you use digits? It's for my resume.


Amy - Jul 06, 2011 7:50:01 am PDT #15478 of 30001
Because books.

AP style is any number over 10 gets a numeral, but Chicago style (for longer books) is any word UNDER 100 is spelled out.

For a resume I'm not sure, but just make it consistent.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What are the numbers? Something like "Supervised fifteen people"? I'd probably spell it out, to look more professional, but I agree that it's most important that it be consistent.
