There's not enough bitching

[Dracos]

Earlier today I ended a 12+ hour transit that involved subways, trains, crying babies, planes, crying CTOs, and 'yes we need your help to fix servers while you're traveling'.

Yet another reason that I don't want a cell phone or any sort of mobile communication while I travel. It's like people expect things out of you.

Headache today.  Lot of work.  Xcode compiling super slow @_@

quite scared myself yesterday when after forgetting to take my epilepsy meds, I started twitching. In the shower no less. Long story short I fell, stubbed my toe, and now have a chink in the small of my back.

That's pretty serious, yeah. Sounds like you have it pretty bad.

Depends on your definition of 'bad'. I've never had a seizure. (at least, no full body convulsions) In fact, this was kinda violent as my twitching goes. Usually (or rarely seeing how my meds stop this sort of thing.) my twitches are just jerks of my arms, causing me to drop something or fling it across the room. This was a full body spasm an lapse of focus, leading to me suddenly on the floor.

This leads to a scared me walking slowly and clutching furniture because I don't want to fall and crack my head against something. I know what that feels like. (Filing cabinet vs. back of head, tipping chair in school.)

Yeah wow, that's rough. At least you seem to have it under control and it's not crippling.

G'luck man, hope it gets better as you get older.

I'm almost 19. I've pretty much accepted that I'm going to have this most of my life.
Apparently, when I got 'epilepsy on the defects list, I rolled to see what type in a sub-table and got one of the less serious ones. Yay.

Also, It turns out, I have had seizures before. Just not Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (Full-body convulsions) but Absence Seizures, where you stare off into space and your mind goes blank for a few seconds. I remember doing that a lot when I was younger actually...

I went to Bethesda for a research conference hosted inside a Marriott hotel. Had good catered food and a two-person room to myself. And on the last day, coming out of the shower, I looked upon the white sheets of my bed, and thought to myself, "That's a big, big cockroach."

You didn't expect to see bugs at a Bethesda event?

[Anastasia]

You win this round, Mercury.

[KLSymph]

I don't know anything about Bethesda that I didn't see on NCIS.

I don't know anything about Bethesda.

This is legit the funniest thing I've read all week. I laughed for like fifteen minutes. Still giggling. L

Step One: Acquire nearest makeshift weapon.
Step Two: Enter V.A.T.S.
Step Three: Kill Radroach.

I work a six day work week coming up. On Black Friday week. That's just whimper-worthy.
