And that, my friends, is why i plan on never getting into healthcare* or traveling to places where TB shots are required for that matter. >>

*Okay, that's one of about a hundred reasons I'd never get into healthcare.

tb is still active, albeit less so than earlier decades. the worse thing is that strains of TB are becoming antibiotic resistant. >>;

as for shots, i tend to be candid when getting blood done or getting shots. the key is to focus on ANYTHING else. ^^;

so today, i went to bed at 8am. and woke up at 12pm. and spent most of the day out of the house. and came home, and bummed around a bit, and cooked, which took 2 hours, so i'm not getting to bed till midnight. and i have to get up at 5, to catch a bus at 7, and then come home at 11pm. >>;;;;

also, my sister accidentally dropped her phone next to a puddle. you wouldn't think this would do anything, but it was enough to turn her phone into a slow kid. the techs claimed it was water damage, and when we figured out that it was mildly water damaged, she came home and buried it in rice. 5 hours later, she took it out, and it's working perfectly.

RICE FTW

I haven't gotten any injections in many years (kinda mean to get a flu shot every time the season rolls around... but then again I'm not going to school or working and germphobic, so my chance of exposure is really low), but I've had blood drawn twice in the last year or so... I can't look while the needle is going in, but once it's in I can watch with no issue. It's actually kinda cool to see. : o

For future reference: was the rice previously heated in a microwave, or at room-temperature? I'd like to know the method she used in case i have to do it myself someday.

@bella: room temp. we didn't cook it or anything (soaking the rice in water would defeat the purpose, no?)

@red: i lol'd. and i learned some new techniques for photoshop. :3


currently posting from what was my third class (he let us out early). 3/4 classes and i don't have a single friend. forever alone ;v;

I'm sorry to hear about the no friends, choco. Reminds me of the economics classes from a few years ago. It was quite depressing. ._. Do you mean that you don't know anyone yet and everyone else already has friends there? ><

[NejinOniwa]

I accidentally my spoon in the freezer when icecream.

TUNG SHTUK >_>


Also, finally got the new router installed.

[Chocofreak13]

@nej: nice one. and congrats on fresh new internets.

@pitkin: i mean i don't know anyone (well, i know one chick in my 3rd class but we don't talk anymore) and people seem to be avoiding me. so no friend here for me.

(forever alone, art school version)

@Kari: Sorry to hear that. That's how I feel at work; the only people who seem to know me are ones I can't stand, while the people I liked no longer work there

Speaking of work, the day wasn't too bad...until the damn nurses suddenly decided "It's too cold!" and cranked up the heater as high as it'll go; which was starting to make me feel sick since I'm warm-natured. I felt better once I was able to go home; it feeling great outside (It may have been misting outside, but I had my windows down anyway; it felt epic)

[Chocofreak13]

@pentium: hope you feel better. :\

in other news, i spoke too soon, as i know people in my 4th class and seem to be building a friendly repitoire (sp?) with the rest of the class. and i already have an idea for the final. xD maybe this semester won't be so bad. ^^\

on the bad side, i seem to fail at walking today. i've fallen up the stairs 4 times, the last one resulting in some scrapes and what will be a very, very bad bruise. ><; fucking escalators.

[Nichi]

@Kari: I'm feeling much better since I got out of there. Some fresh air and mid-50F temperatures fixed me right up :3

[Chocofreak13]

that's good. today was lovely temps. ^^

[IanDanKilmaster]

I'm not really worried about having TB; it's just a test people who work in the medical field have to take, I think.  In any case, I haven't seen any reaction on my arm so far, so I think that's a good thing.  I'm going back to the doc tomorrow for her to look at it, and then again next week to be pricked and analyzed again. ^^;

I'm glad you're feeling better, Penti.  Good for you. :3

In case you really wanted to know, repertoire is the word for which you were looking, although I'm not sure if it conveys the meaning you're after.  I think you might mean rapport, i.e. social bonding.  Not trying to be an ass pointing this out, just thought you might want to know.  They are both French words that resemble one another, not that hard to get them confused ^^;.

I did yardwork for a guy who's on the Virginia Tuberculosis Commission.

In related news, an article I wrote for a wiki was featured a few weeks ago and I didn't know.
