Oct. 6th, 2006 09:51 amI have this picture (see icon) posted on the bound website - it spawned a random email today. I forgot the silly thing was up there. Scared to imagine what the author looks like. Speaking of bound, there was a shooting at Lime, their new club?
In even more boring news - omg the trip to the dentist sucked! It turns out the filling was fucked - and that those white fillings are acrylic, and over time they shrink. The shrinking leads to leaking, and you get decay in the tooth. Uh oh. I tried to do the re-drilling w/o novocaine, but there was "a lot of decay in here." I made it, but was about to hit the ceiling. I wonder if my time in the gym has generally increased my pain threshold - for while it hurt, it wasn't anywhere near the level of "Is it safe?" It hurt, but I could take it. I don't know that I could have taken much more though, glad that crap ended.
The annoying thing is his answers to my queries: why didn't the x-ray 6 mos prior catch this? He said because the filling masks the decay. Ok, now lets think about this. I see the damn dentist every 6 months, who inspects and cleans my teeth. Every year, they put radiation in my brain to take an x-ray pic and see if there is damage beneath the surface. However, the damage beneath the surface can't be seen because of fillings. What is the point of the checkup, and especially the radiation, if they can't detect a problem before my tongue can?
Work completely and utterly fucking sucks. Yesterday alone I had the Dir email my boss based on my request for a file (boss told me to ignore it because she's an insecure bitch, a well known position I agree with); found out my old co-worker who beat me out as a mgr for DA has been shelved pending an expected demotion - something I can't believe because I've always known her to be intelligent, professional, and hard-working (so it it personal or EEO?); the boss went into an unexpected homophobic tirade, so I'm going to sabotage my career and out myself, again, at the next opportunity (I acually did out myself, but the dumbass didn't understand the "Those uh, fags, are my family" comment); the Dir and worthless LR chief are late getting me comments on the hearing brief I wrote so I have to go to HQ today to finish and submit the damn thing (that I actually completed in September); I made a potentially serious error on a case's prehearing submissions where I swapped the wrong names for proposing and deciding officials ... and I've been trying to catch up for so long I don't know when I'm going to get my head above water. I've been trying to issue an Agency Motion for Summary Judgment for over a week, and still have not made it past the facts due to crappy investigations and a constant barrage of special projects - all of which were due two days ago yesterday. I'm so tired I don't even know what to do.

You can sue the hospital for and make money for that. :) Actually, I just think it's great you're able to do so well at school while having this terrible job. I hope you get some rest soon.
