Had Indian food at an upscale restaurant downtown.  I thought of K4 and all of you when we ordered not one but two servings of basil garlic naan.  Neither the waiter nor my wife found my questions about their naan oven as comical as I did.  But man oh man was this place terrific.  Lamb vindaloo was out of this world and the appetizer we had (some spiced potato thing with garbanzo beans) ruled hard.  Haven't had Indian food in quite some time, but this was outstanding and a nice change of pace.

there's a terrific Indian buffet near my office

my brain is saying yes, my stomach is saying maybe and my ###hole is saying "please god, no".

My HOA has monthly meetings and is frequented by snowbirds that are quite decrepit.  The wife’s name is Mary Lynn (we call her harpy) and the HOA president called her Marilyn.  She totally lost her #### in the meeting.  It was funny.  “MY NAME IS MARY LYNN....ARGHHHH”. That was one of the last meetings I went to.

was there at least a general murmur of agreement?

me: we should really put the bed together this weekend 

someone else that i know: yeah, "we" should.. but i don't know what you did with the slats when we moved

me: if they're not in here with the rest of the bed parts, then they're probably in the basement

someone else that i know: yeah, well, i don't know that because you freaking moved everything in random places and i can't find anything!

me: (scours the house, no slats) i couldn't find them. maybe there weren't any? i didn't throw anything out. all the bed parts went in the room where the specific bed belonged.... did i look in your dressing room? no.

someone else that i know: well, you should have because they're right freaking there!

me: you said you didn't know where the bed parts were and implied that i'd thrown them away  :mellow:  

someone else that i know: no. i did not. you didn't ask me where they were.

me: :mellow:

eta: names changed to protect the innocent

Sounds like you need a van. 

 
I take medication for my massive mental problems.  That’s a slight joke, but also totally true.  If I don’t get treated for my ADD, I go crazypants.  It’s why back in the late 80s people would snort a bunch of coke at a party and go all nutty while I’d be in the corner feeling normal for the only time all week, trying to discuss current events or read a book.

I take methylphenidate (Ritalin.) Ritalin is a schedule II controlled substance, and I have to show my license, have them get it out of a lockbox, give them a fingerprint, whatever.  Which is fine. 

After years of taking the exact same prescription my doctor sent in my prescription for a 90 day supply instead of 30.  Which is usually super helpful.  Unless you take a schedule II controlled substance, in which case the pharmacy you’ve been going to for years suddenly thinks you kidnapped your doctor, used his computer to order 3x your usual medication, and are going to sell it to school children.  And they don’t have it in stock.  But you can’t transfer a prescription because it’s a controlled substance   And the other pharmacies aren’t legally allowed to tell you it’s in stock or not so you don’t case a pharmacy to steal it when they say it’s there.

So I’ve been without my meds for about a week and I’m pretty sure everyone else on earth is a complete ###hole all of a sudden. People are so much more reasonable and worthwhile when I have my meds.

Can somebody get Henry some blow? I don't have those kind of connections any more.

The pharmacy has called my doctor's office about two different refills, and gotten no response. Also, I had a blood draw on 1/29 and haven't gotten lab results yet. Looks like I'll have to call and excoriate some poor medical assistant.

So, the meds have been clouding your mind up until now?

Oh, Henry. I'm the same way. It's a joke, but totally true. Instead of six thoughts, I'm able to concentrate on one. And I had this happen when I moved. I don't know what you're going through personally, but I can at least relate. If I could send you the "hang in there" cat, I would, but you'd just hate me for it. 

Good luck, man.

I can only respond by saying that when the aliens arrive, I hope you are among the last executed by our new overlords before I am placed on a throne of human bones to rule over our planet. 

 
Got a phone call from someone looking for a recommendation on @El Floppo. I told them he gave me an intestinal parasite and he stole all of our cushy toilet paper.  I thought the call went well.

I offered to show them my bar card.  They thought I was saying something about a drinking establishment.  

This is why I need the meds, lady. So I can handle people like you.

lol

he was really nice in the interview- and completely different approach to most all of the NYC high-end places I've worked: emphasis on keeping jobs and making clients happy over producing a signature/ego driven design. and yet the work is essentially the same in design quality and scope as all those other firms.

very laid back office. they do the projects I'm best at, in a style that I'm good at, with clients that I'm used to working with, in an office environment that's very civil. would be hard for me to find an office more in my wheelhouse than these guys. I'd scarf the #### out of it.

hopefully you made up some sellable things to say.

He did ask if you always wear the scarf.  I told him it was to hide your sex bruises more than a fashion choice.  

 
Yay!  I'm employed again!   It was a nice 5 month sabbatical...but I'm ready to go back to work.   Staying in cannabis and working for another software company.

Happy Friday

LET'S GET BOMBED!

great news!

(hoping it rubs off on me too... like the makeup I use under the scarf for the sex bruises)

Sounds to me like you're much more observant without your meds.

They either figure it out from here and get even better than they were before or this is truly who they are.  :shrug:

Seniors need to call a team meeting and start kicking some ###.

Seems like kind of an "art house" film, but it's definitely the title of your sex tape.

 
Supposed to have my meds in a delivery to the pharmacy today.  I called just now to ask why the app still says they're delayed.

The Creature: "The delivery hasn't gotten here yet, but hopefully it will be in there."

I: "Hopefully?  Was it not ordered?"

The Creature: "I can't tell you that."

I:"You can't tell me if my medication will be arriving today or even if it was ordered?"

The Creature: "No. We do that so no one tries to rob the truck."

I: :mellow:   "I'm a lawyer with a prescription.  Why would I rob the truck instead of having my insurance pay everything but $36?"

The Creature: "It's our policy."

I: "Okay.  Can you tell me if it comes in today what time it would be coming in so I can check back?"

The Creature: "No. We can't tell anyone when the truck would come in."

I: :mellow:  "You understand that I'm allowed to call a prison and ask them what time a group of murderers is going to be placed in a vehicle with one guard and driven on a lonely back road without escort and they'll tell me."

The Creature:"Yes, sir."

I:"And that I have a prescription."

The Creature:"Yes, sir."

I:"And that my doctor's office will close at some point and if you can't get me my medication I'll be without it all weekend if he doesn't send this to some other facility, meaning I'll have been without it for a full week and will be in full-on withdrawal."

The Creature:"Yes, sir."

I:"Right, then.  Thanks."
