raffy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Went to the doctor and got diagnosed with Strep throat. I feel like I was in a bar fight last night and someone shoved a porcupine down my throat. Taking a sick day off work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Raffy, what antibiotic did the Doc prescribe? Strep is going around here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Never had Strep, but my Sister used to get it a lot. I know it sucks vicariously. Feel better soon Raffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Strep su-ucks! Get over it soon, Raffy. And take all your antibiotics, you don't want a recurrence. I'm usually against over-use of antibiotics, but strep is one exception even I will make. Me: I took all my headphones home last week, thinking I was getting laid off, and I took my one pair home last night -- with plans to redo the foam in the case for them. So, to wit, today, I came in without any headphones. I think I will make today a short day. Also, I met with my boss for my annual review. Don't know anything about raises, apparently they usually hit July 1...? And apparently he's not my supervisor any more, and the one I have...well, let's just say I don't have high hopes for him.

raffy Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks guys. I feel loads better today but still not 100%. Unfortunately I have zero appetite for beer right now, Al. Dusty, does this mean you're not getting laid off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yeah, I'm safe for now -- we just got word not only that we're funded, but that they want us to increase our staff -- practically double it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffy Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks Nate! Raffy, what antibiotic did the Doc prescribe? Strep is going around here too. Sorry, forgot to reply to this. I'm taking Amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 And for the record, when I say things like "short day" or "play hooky", I don't actually record my time as worked -- I just plan on making it up or something. I was being a slacker, just not completely derelict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Feel better, Raffy. Dusty, glad you're job is safe. I got to go home early today due to storms flash flooding. Kinda a double edged thing: glad to be home, but had to cancel my private practice group, and that's an ouch in the pocketbook. Still.....I think I can make a nice evening of the situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry Raffy! I ate lunch with a hawk* today (well, he was outside on the top of the physics building, and I was inside the math building...). He was hungry. He wouldn't share. *At least, I think it was a hawk.

Dusty Chalk Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 "He wouldn't share." -- So, by 'with', you mean in the same way that a stalker means 'sleep with' his stalkee -- at the same time, but no actual awareness of the with-ness by the other party. I think I just made the above image sequence creepier. I wouldn't have thought that was possible. I mean, there were entrails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbut Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 My room mate and good friend Jim died last night. I performed CPR after discovering him in bed non responsive and not breathing. When the first responders arrived, they pronounced him dead. Won't know the cause until the coroner gets a look at him (probably related to his diabetes). Very sad day around here with his son and daughter very broken up about it. Waiting for the funeral home to pick up his body. Jim was universally loved and will be sorely missed (even though I made a "sport" of complaining about his ways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 dude, sorry to hear that. It's one thing to have a friend die, but another altogether to be the one that finds him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
