Computers don't really hate me...
Sep. 21st, 2004 04:42 pmYesterday at work, my hard drive up and died. Blue Screen of Death and everything. I lost about two hours or so of work time, and I'd already taken off the morning for a doctor's appointment (see later post), so that effectively killed my day productivity-wise.
Today after lunch, the system stopped recognizing my password and so I managed to lock myself out of the network.
The IT guy, to his credit, has been very patient and mellow about all of this, even if it does take him a looong time to show up in the first place.

What The Doctor Said
Sep. 21st, 2004 04:46 pm1) Bronchitis. Viral. Something going around. Very persistent. Sorry. Cough syrup with codeine might help. Steroid inhaler might, too. Oh, and some pills. Prescriptions galore.
2) Muscle strain in shoulder. Physical therapist will know what to do. Referral.
3) Ringworm. Over the counter.
(what the doctor didn't say: nothing about my weight except "has it been stable?")
I also got tested for TB, and forgot to schedule a tetanus booster. And of course we went over my entire medical history, plus my family's. I concluded that all potential health problems except the migraines and the knee deterioriation -- diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, cancer -- are my father's fault, or at least his family's. "I guess you should get a new daddy," he said when I told him the news. I replied that I thought it was too late for that.
