Tysabri tomorrow. It can’t come quickly enough, though I didn’t get an answer when I called today to confirm my appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the place where I get them is actually only open Tuesday and Thursday at this point, which would explain the lack of a callback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leads me to the news I started looking at before I started writing. Even though I really don’t much like the rich white people’s welfare that is NPR, or their cited source, of Reddit, interesting story about fitness speakeasies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No shit..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is anyone really surprised by this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat special foods, drink alcohol, have sex, engage in capitalism. You, know, basic human things<\/strong>. Government can’t stop them. Not in prison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those things even happen in prison. Government isn’t going to stop them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say, “sorry,” but there’s nothing to apologize for. I<\/em><\/strong> shouldn’t be sorry that you don’t understand that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, no, people who engage in those things aren’t bad, either. They’re humans<\/strong><\/span><\/em>. Deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spent time today trying to plan out time off so I don’t lose a bunch of PTO at the end of the year. Ugh. I kind of played hard-to-get with this job, and, as a result, I ended up getting a lot of PTO in lieu of money. I loved my last gig, and would have stayed for just a little more money. Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flashback time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

08\/19\/2010 – 8\/19\/2010<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, after last night’s knot, tonight’s was a gusher. Must have hit a vein or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother has discovered she likes text messaging on her iPhone. I’m not sure this is a good thing. Neither is my dad, considering he’s having to modify their plain to support it\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work is a mess. I’m just not sure why I’m doing the work they have me doing. It’s nothing but frustration. The processes are insufficient, so you bolster them, so people just ignore the processes, which means more processes are needed, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Systems engineering is perhaps a bigger pseudoscience than homeopathy. Why am I doing it? I can read, write, and speak. Many other IT people can’t be bothered to do the first, and simply can’t do the last two. A year ago, I might have recoiled more, but at this point, I’m operating under the realization that it’s something I can continue doing if my body further fails me. But it also means I probably ought to think more about grad school. Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am halfway tempted to see what additional accommodations I could get as a “disabled” student. Is that wrong? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Homoeopathy. Um. Ever see people start acting drunk when they’re plied with non-alcoholic beer, but don’t know that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mention of higher education was interesting considering that it’d not be terribly long before my wife was in that world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen bits here and there that say that, yes, I could do what I considered back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m finished, and I shouldn’t be wasting someone else’s money doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
