Let's just say I Googled a lot of names at work this week.

It seems I haven't had much I could devote an entire post to this past week, just a lot of little things happened (especially in retrospect). The recap, in order:

  • a co-worker of mine, Kathy, was due to go in for surgery for breast cancer this past Thursday, but instead was taken to the hospital last Thursday when she had complaints of dizziness and double vision. As of last Friday, it was a bad clot/infection in one of her main arteries, surgery for the cancer was out of the question, they were "trying to keep her comfortable". One week later, she was leaving the hospital and going home with a clean bill of health. As Floyd said, "Guesswork in a white coat." (and before I get angry comments, I'd like to reiterate the "in retrospect" mentioned above)

  • that very same night when Kathy was doped up, "staying comfortable", I go home to what I thought was a "potty party" for my four year old nephew (his quote, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it with my own ears: "Look, no hands!"). What I get instead is my sister announcing she was pregnant again, and trying to be cute about it by dressing up her youngest in a "Older Brother" shirt. Yeah, not cute. Not funny. Bad idea. You're 23 with two kids already. Stop being so damn Catholic (her quote, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it with my own ears: "We planned this one").

  • Floyd fell off a four foot stack of cardboard onto his ass. He said he hurt, I laughed and said it was just bruised. He paid a man in a white coat to tell him this very fact, also, that he should take Motrin. His plant hasn't had a lost-time accident in something like 20 years. If this had been the one that did them in, he'd have been run out of the state. And I would've blogged about it.

  • My friend Megan became the "Mrs." portion of a "Mr. & Mrs." combo on Wednesday. For the record, this marriage we're happy about.

  • and p....Hmm. I think he had a pimple on his hairline he couldn't quite work. He leads the tragic life now that he's depression-free.


  • Come to think of it, that was a fairly busy week (Pops not withstanding).

    Finally, for you east-coasters, a fun tip: certain Rita's Water Ice flavors used as a mix with Bacardi 151 are amazing. Citrus Blast...not one of them. 75% alcohol wasn't saving that drink.

    Wow, Megan, you REALLY dug Batman, huh?
    You've been blogging not even a week and already two references to that film. Kudos!
