… the good news, or the bad? Bad news: The stupid hospital hasn’t gotten back to me yet about their disability parameters. I had really, really, really hoped to get that resolved today. The longer this drags on, the more likely it is that I’m returning to work next Monday. Good news: The cardiologist appointment…
Is it Friday yet?
I had an asthma attack in my office this morning. It wasn’t as bad as some I’ve had, but when I reached into my briefcase for my inhaler IT WASN’T THERE! I was going to just try to wait it out, but I was online with the Professor at the time, and he ran my…
Torchwood Rocks!
I saw the first episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day this morning (taped from last night). I was a bit worried about it, since the BBC show has teamed with STARZ and I’d heard they’d Americanized the show a bit. Since Torchwood is a remote spin-off from Dr. Who, and since Dr. Who has a large…

OK, so the Prius cost me $600. Who knew that if you left the gas cap loose (something I’ve never done before, and didn’t do this time on purpose) that it would cost $120 just to reset the stupid computer? With the 60,000 mile work and inspection/emissions, there went that wad of cash. Additionally, I’ve…
How odd.
KiwiKimi. EdStun. Shay41. All old friends. All show up together on the top ten list. DD was in it’s prime, and many wonderful writers sheltered in the virtual haven here. So many electrons – cast off to new atoms or disappeared entirely. The diaspora of friends and talent has spread across the webscape, but the…
From worthums to Lilith to me …
What Pattern Are You? The title of this should have been “When friends are hurting”. Except I really don’t know what to say to either of them right now. I want happy endings. I want good things to happen to good people. I want everybody to play nice. I want to go out and buy…
Sal,
Your entry made me cry. You do work in a Holy Place and yours is a hard job but I’m glad that there’s someone with your heart and compassion to do it.
Hugs
The only reason I didn’t cry, too, was because Tech Man was sitting right next to me, and he already probably thinks I’m a big wuss. ;o) Seriously, though, I feel honored to know someone who cares so deeply about what they do.
I won’t go so far as to label where I work a holy place, but I do feel a great ethical responsibility for my work. When I was in college I had a professor who was so obviously bored with what he did that I hoped I would find something that I could be passionate about so I wouldn’t end up like that. I wish everyone searched for and found the Great Reasons for what they do. Reading your entry made me feel not so alone.
There are a few of us here at DD that have found honor in their work. Welshamethyst and TraumaMama come to mind. I’m glad to have found them, too.
Wow, that is a really great entry. I am really just at a loss for words…
I can relate to having to turn your feelings off. Been there, do that.
