TET: And Another Month Bites The Dust

[Yagon]

Don't suppose you visited a UPS warehouse? Cos that sounds like something they would say.

One time, a guy I knew got hit by a car on his way to work. He went to work anyway because the adrenaline blunted the pain at first, but once the adrenaline wore off and he really started to feel how badly hurt he was, he asked to go home. His boss tried to make him stay and he had to argue about it before he was allowed to leave.

Yeah. It makes sense to me, too.

One time I had an asthma attack at work -- this would be back when I was working on the shop floor of a supermarket, *cough*-teen years ago -- and I couldn't recover my breath with the inhaler. My manager asked if I could wait a few hours until my shift was over before I went to A&E for oxygen.

Incidentally, I said no, and she relented when my lips started to turn purple.

Holy crap, that sounds like something the Vorgons would do, "Delay your need for oxygen, the broccoli needs spritzing", wtf.

[The Free Joy State]

Yeek. That sounds like a bad asthma attack.

Yeah, it was. I've only had four really bad ones in twenty+ years, but that was one of them.

Holy crap, that sounds like something the Vorgons would do, "Delay your need for oxygen, the broccoli needs spritzing", wtf.

It was more like: "Delay the oxygen. It's Saturday and you've got a queue."

UPS and a supermarket are both crazy, I learned today.

Are you okay?

Still alive and kicking.

Incidentally, it's probably not a general supermarkets problem. Not every manager would have asked someone not to have urgent medical treatment in the middle of a shift. But this woman did have something of a reputation. Even the other line managers scattered when they saw her coming.

[Idzequitch]

Edsel is a no-go. *nod*

[Hurdergaryp]

My, the audience is attentive today!

Good is always in a hurry. Evil is patient, evil watches.

Evil would make a good analist.

[Valentine Z]

"You feel sick? I don't have time for that right now. Maybe you can be sick later?"

One of the funnier things I heard today.

Anyways, hello TET.

"What? I got no time to bleed! I have to clock in 8 hours!"

I really hope it wasn't directed at you. If yeah... hey, get well soon! And hello to you!

(We need a wave emoticon).

That's a good thing.

An intimidating person, then.

Like me a few years back.

"It hurts to breathe... I can't think... my fingers and lips are blue... eh, I'll go to school anyways." (It was pneumonia, and going to school was a bad idea).

It was, and thanks mate. And hi. Also, that wave emoticon would be useful.

For me, it's weird how it's usually the small things that got me.

- Conscript days. Rained so heavily and cold on the first night of field camp. No fever, no problem, finished it strong.

- Now? Washed my face with cold water, got a runny nose.

That's really weird. Maybe your nose just wants to escape.

My nose usually gives me problems. Rarely I have both my nostrils open and clear. Sinus?

So I figure if I'm going to do stuff like this more I need to get a better camera than just my phone.

On the plus side at least on the last daily I was able to swallow my anxiety enough to ask people if I could photograph them.

You look great! On a side note, indeed, I would save up and get a good camera for stuff like this.

Smartphone cameras are convenient, but there are times where you need the bigger camera for the job.

...I'm not in any of them though. >.>

And yeah while I have a proper camera too it's the best part of a decade old, and only does 12MP shots.

Ahh, my bad... The first one has some striking resemblance, so yeah.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Through security and preclearance at Dublin airport, flight to Chicago in just over an hour. Then when I get there, bus to Indianapolis. Looking forward to it, nervous about the flight tho, first time flying

I wish I could make that good of a Weiss but yeah, that's not me.

Have a safe flight!

My advice is to avoid the dairy products.

You're doing great yourself!

Well, yes.

I wish I could curse the main office doors and leech away the energy of everyone else to top mine up.

If coffee doesn't do the trick anymore, consider upping the ante by means of energy drinks.

Those tend to be fizzy and thus most reminiscent of battery acid. Holding the nose only goes so far.

Yeah, but it's sugary battery acid. Liquid energy never tasted that good!
