cornerofmadnessI noticed a strange smell in my office but didn't think too much of it. Later I smelled it again, sharp, acrid. I thought well ibrought basil into the office since the first frost can't be too far away. I thought maybe the cat peed on it outside. I bent down to see and smelled it. it was coming from the solar panel controls which are in my office. It was hotter than holy hell. Last I saw was the maintenance people going 'what happens if I turn off the solar panel?' I have no clue. I grabbed the bag of tenure paperwork I've been saving for 6 years. If the rest burns, it burns.
I had to rush off to see the doc. she agrees, I need scoped again for my stomach. she did give me a pain killer for my shoulder (I like this woman because she knows what I am, respects what I suggest and I can usually get what i want) and gave me a new pill for my migraines that I have to try for the generic name alone, Rizatriptan. I do have to look up its pharmacokinetics and side effects though. She asked to see how i could use my arm. I showed her. O_o how do you get your bra on?
Can i just say this to ALL the people wanting to go into the health care field. Medicine, hospitals especially, are highly conservative. Keep in mind you're working at least for the next 20 years people who were born/raised in the 30-50's. They are not used to everyone having casual tattoos and MANY hospitals will not let you come to work with exposed tattoos (ditto the police and military and NO they will not make an exception for you). For the love of all that's holy DO NOT TATTOO YOUR FACE. One of my girls came into with stars tattooed on her cheek outlining her eye. Granted I don't suspect she's going to pass but my god, do you think for one minute about the job you're trying for. I DID. I wanted my nose pierced in the worst way and cartilage piercings when I was youngbut I knew what I wanted to go into. Hell they had a fit over my hair dye. I never would have gotten in with a nose ring. (which in some ways might be wrong but that's how it is in the real world)
wait, what do I spy?
Uh-oh, I might be in for it
Oh crap, running time. I suck at running time
ARRRRGH!

Date: 2011-10-18 02:29 am (UTC)You could've sent these to me, I would've animated them for you. :D Do you want a gif?
Well, if your college burns down, where do you teach? Denny's?
That's kind of why I never got the tatts I wanted. I still am leery about the idea of getting them, even now. If I'm spending that kind of money, I want to see them, you know?

Date: 2011-10-18 03:25 am (UTC)there are no denny's here. Bob Evans dammit
I'll see them while I'm naked

Date: 2011-10-18 03:37 am (UTC)Can you sit in Bob Evans as long as you can sit in a Denny's without being ousted by a waitress?
I still want to see them, though. Not on my back, where other people can see them.

Date: 2011-10-18 04:13 am (UTC)i think i'd rather have them on my back where i won't be tempted ot stare at them all day

Date: 2011-10-18 02:51 am (UTC)As for piercings/tattoos, I was totally very, very conservative when I was younger with hiders and things that were covered by normal clothes. As I've gotten older and it's become clear I will pretty much always be in a field where it doesn't matter, I've branched out to more visible modifications. That said, face tattoos are pretty much always a bad idea, and this is coming from someone who is super into body ink.

Date: 2011-10-18 11:33 am (UTC)Actually, I've seen cops from Steelton/Harrisburg with exposed tattoos exposed. So I guess it depends on the individual people who do the hiring.
But yeah. On the face? That's just stupid. She's not Kat Von D.

Date: 2011-10-18 06:42 pm (UTC)it maye be that they're loosening up since everyone gets tatts these days but yeah the face is still a dumb place to tatt
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 07:47 pm (UTC)I R write good. *facepalm*
Yeah. I don't get it. If you want to get into any decent profession at all, the face is not the place to get it.
I can see maybe the back or side of the neck because that can be covered up.
Guess they thought they really want to be cool.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-19 02:29 am (UTC)even the other tattooed young people are looking at her sideways
no subject
Date: 2011-10-18 01:59 pm (UTC)2nd: Is she holding an invisible watermelon? WTF?
3rd: OK. It's getting creepy now.
4th: It appears that there is fluid coming out of it's mouth the way the patina has flowed around the bottom lip. Ewww.
