Thanks
She had a cerebral infarction, paralyzed on one side, fluid is getting into her lungs, and oxygen levels in her blood are dropping. Doctors call it 'alarming' :( Going there tomorrow, kinda scared to be honest to see her like this because she can't talk (though she can nod). But given the circumstances I think it's better sooner than later to see her, and maybe say goodbye, and to be there for my mum.
Sorry to hear that, Flixy. :(
Do people think that Mr. Romney is an egoistical person who values personal prestige for winning the election, more than the responsibility the occupation has? Should he retreat upon facing that he hasn't got a complete grip on his own politics, and could hereby ruin the lives of very many? Is he an idiot or is he a talent? I'm scared of this election. :(
Non-egotists don't run for the presidency. Period.Quote:

Going through my files and I found my manual to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Inside of it was a receipt that I kept cause to me personally it showed the last known copy of the AO version of the game being sold in a US Best Buy. So I take a trip down memory lane and pull the receipt out. Its completely blank. The ink has totally faded away. Looks like regular printer paper again :(
and someone stole the Obama magnet off Brandy's car while at target. classy.
Probably an Obama fanboy who believes in redistribution. :o
except they are free to begin with :p
Freedom isn't free!
If Stalin couldn't do it... :oQuote:

Americans also don't get booze for voting :o
Would probably have a higher turnout if they did. :o
Ostensibly that was the point on Bolshevik-land :o
That's kinda worrisome, no...?Quote:

The thermal print on thermal paper, like receipt tape, will fade with time, and will fade much faster in areas that have clear scotch tape over them. Learned this doing medical records, since a lot of older faxes, and modern EKG output is printed on thermal paper.Quote:

So, I'm wondering what that means for what I do now. :(
Presumably they thought highly enough of you to keep you around in a completely different capacity, something that can't be said for your boss.
Well that would be flattering, but SOMEONE has to do what I do cause stuff don't fix itself.
Basicly, an new org chart came out, with notes saying, keep doing what you are doing until told otherwise.
Makes for a rough time...people are beginning to panic.
That someone could be someone not you.
Very true, but based upon the facts on the ground, it would be a bad idea unless they hire someone from Operations who can translate user to techie and vice versa (like they did with me 4 years ago) to take over my position.
That does not sound like that is going to happen...there has been a practice of using vendors for this line of work from a certain different country that rhymes with Syndia.
As long as your skills are hard to replace, what's the problem? :)
Sorry to hear that your bomb-making skills are being outsourced to Syria. :(
:) The problem is that there was a purge of middle management (which if bloated should happen) but it now looks like I may be reporting to someone so far removed from the floor that they can't identify/understand what I do.
Just means I have to explain it, without using my typical IT haughtiNess to the them that I reserve for normal users.
That might be a pain. On the bright side, they might assume your job is harder than it is and believe you're irreplaceable. ;)
I can work with that. :)
World War Z trailer came out yesterday. Looks like a fun zombie flick, but it sure as fuck ain't no World War Z. The one thing the book spells out above all else is how the zombies don't run, but they flow like fucking water in the movie
The book is so good, I was hoping the movie would reflect that same style :(
Well I think this will help answer why we can't hide in buildings, behind walls, in dangerous areas, or on top of things out of reach.Quote:

Getting bummed out about my healthcare prospects. Some is just basically age-related "normal" whining, but it's taken on new concerns as I hunt for comprehensive health insurance. I cancelled my previous 80/20 major medical coverage (actually, I let it lapse and didn't renew -- which might have been the wrong way to do it) while looking for a better plan. It just didn't seem right to pay $300/month for what was basically future in-patient hospital care....when most costs are outpatient driven. That would include cancer chemotherapy and anything else pushed to outpatient delivery, including Physical Therapy. None of my monthly premiums, year after year, translated into actual care.
But my joints have started failing faster than I can keep up with what I needed to "buy" in order to get care for them. I can't buy a new policy without disclosing joint pain, mobility problems, or treatments.....so I've been avoiding any type of radiology or therapy that would help me. It's a crazy and infuriating position. I applaud Obama's PPACA, but since it's not fully implemented with interstate exchanges, I'm still screwed.
:cry:
Does PA have something similar to this: http://www.insurance.illinois.gov/ipxp ?
