Life's tooo god.

So here's the latest...

• I moved to a bigger, cooler desk that used to belong to the Art Director, in the part of the office with all the fun people.


• I'm working on a project which tests my thoughts on the line between "just a client" and "conscientious objection" - for now, I need to keep this job, however. It is keeping me busy, and when the NDA is done, I'll point you at the website/portal and you can go "Ewww and Ahhh", then think less of me.


• I'm going to worry over my spelling of conscientious for a while.


• My father is out of the hospital as of today. For those not knowing, he'd been having problems with his innards for a while, which required him go through 2 previous surgeries, each of which was painful and required significant changes in his lifestyle. This third surgery essentially cleared up all of that, and within a month or so, he can go back to living a normal life again. This is an enormous thing -- it represents the end of almost 3 years of pain, radical inconvenience and stress for him. When he's able, I think a trip to Kyma is in order.


• I'm pretty sure the Medical Emergency I had last week is probably gastro-intestinal. I have similar symptoms every time I eat, and I can now even feel something going wrong in my guts prior to my heartbeat starting up again. It sucks, but sucks less than thinking I have a heart problem.

Yes, I read your journal.

Please send your dad my love and regards. I'm glad he'll be able to be on his feet again.

I remember him walking into the Geek Love Fundraiser Poker Tourney. He was at my table and got the moniker "The Fisherman".
He also bought us all shots...I think....most of the guys bought shots for the table....I was a good poker dealer....

Interestingly, when I described the strange symptoms I get in my legs ("almost like something.. creaking? under the skin") to my (hot) doctor, she said she'd have to check my electrolytes. Wonder if it's at all related?

[scottopic.livejournal.com]

It could be -- all of these things seemed linked in strange ways. Which reminds me that I need to stop by the store during lunch so I can keep Powerade at my desk.

If you need the hot-doctor-at-Emory hookup, let me know.

I just made an appointment at Emory Clinic - very attractive African American woman doctor whose name I forget. What was your hotdoc's name?

[adrienmundi]

Rio Dickens.

I'm so thankful your dad is getting better.

As for you, I think it wouldn't hurt to simplify your diet a bit (less processed food) and try to reduce stress (hahahahaha!).

i'm glad your dad is on the way to recovery.
I hope things continue to improve with him.
I know my dad will be pleased to hear it, as well.

This has all been dreadful, and finally! It's done!

Sooooo.... You're saying they need an Art Director there??

Lemme know if you want to meet up maybe next week and grab a beer with me for my B-Day. I can at least leave my crypt for that.

Best to you n' Phae.

Glad to hear your dad is doing better!

[morbid-o.livejournal.com]

well, since livejournal decided to eat my last comment and not leave hitting 'back' on my browser as an option...

i hear you abotu the job. I work at the patent office :rolleyes:

good deal about your dad; I'm hoping for good news from my mom later today after her visit to the surgeon (although I don't expect to hear anything involving 'alleviation'...)

that restaurant looks fantabulous.

I hope your tummy feels better.

Will you please get your fkn ass to the doctor if you haven't already!?

[scottopic.livejournal.com]

Have the appointment made already!

[vacare.livejournal.com]

please clarify the "probably gastro-intestinal" and "something going wrong in my guts" with professional medical opinion, and obtain said opinion if you are without :) some of us STILL haven't met you, and would like the opportunity to remain there quite a while.

I'm inclined to think acid reflux, but will be getting a professional medical opinion on the specifics when I see the doctor again week after next.

[morbid-o.livejournal.com]

reflux - does this mean you've already had one acid flux?

[moncrief.livejournal.com]

That's very cute.

I must have been intoxicated.

[scottopic.livejournal.com]

Was I?

[moncrief.livejournal.com]

Jeeze- I dunno! I had just gotten off work and all I really remember is that there were jello shots. But based on time frame and who you were with, prolly.
