Strangest email of the day:
“The [mounted] microwave in the employee kitchen on your floor is broken. Please remove it and dispose of it”
All the while I had hours of busy work to still do….
Hopefully I get to conquer the microwave tomorrow.
(Subject to whatever other weirdness doesn’t get in the way).
Another thing I don’t understand about how kids go “Trick or Treat”-ing in Manhattan (besides that they mainly patronize stores).
Back in my hometown, there are set “trick-or-treat” hours. Either 4-6, 5-7 or 6-8pm depending on the year (each of the suburbs sets their own time).
Around here–kids have been getting candy since the early morning! What gives?
Oh, and there’s candy here at the apartment should anyone want to come by! (Healthy, sugar-free foods are also availble here if you ask nicely).
No, seriously.
The man who is now deceased was very stupid for doing what he did. He should have known better than to consume such a large amount of caffeine anhydrous.
It’s a readily available and very inexpensive product–but if one is going to buy the powder to dose–use a freaking scale!
Alas, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the headline as the Death By Caffeine calculator
[Does that make me a bad person?]
McDonald’s Must Pay Obese Worker $17.5K
If this were to happen in a US court…would a jury fall for it?
The Sister informed and the Brother that today on the Lower East Side was going to be a “pickle fair”.
The Tenth Annual NYC International Pickle Fair no less!
Indeed–there is such a fair annually. Only fitting that it’s held on the LES as well.
Not only did we get to sample all sorts of yummy pickles (I’m a fan of full sour, whereas Sister and Brother like half-sour). There were other interesting pickled items on display as well (and kimchi was represented too).
Probably the most interesting thing I tried was the truffled pickles. Good stuff! Pickles on a stick–a bit of a bizarre novelty
Alas, we were pressed for time, as we had to get back up town to get The Brother to La Guardia for his flight home, but we all had a good time and lots of tasty pickles!.
Oh wait, this isn’t about NYC under Mayor Bloomberg–instead it’s Russia!
Weird: Tornado Watch Issued, Canceled for Tri-State Area
Twice in a month? Really odd.
Things I learned at work today:
–I still fail to understand the female mindset. Not that I was explicitly trying to do so–but today presented me with things that perplexed me.
–Still not used to feeling “popular” at work–especially amongst the higher-level staff.
–Fleishigs for brekfast continues to be t3h awes0mez
–I’ll have a glass of whatever the Boss was drinking–he was in such an upbeat mood!
–The sister had bottles of Smirnoff Ice in the fridge (eeeeewwww!)
–Take heart patients–navigating the maze of insurance companies is quite a headache for providers as well. Patients should feel fortunate when they’re able to get a customer service agent on the line–as with certain insurances we don’t get humans.
–No, CPAP machines don’t magically have feet that enable them to walk away on their own….
In the past there were legends like:
“Scarface”, “Machine-gun”, Mugsy, “Sammy the Bull”, “King Blood”, etc.
However, Mexico had a gangster nicknamed: “The Barbie”
Ken was not available for comment….
Saw this story in AMNY today:
Queens man lives in bathroom to cut off tech addiction
Odd, but not as bad as say China where they have “tech addiction camps”.
Reminds me of a story one of my Rabbis once told our class about one of the great Torah scholars (I want to say of the Middle Ages–but I can’t remember exactly). The scholar was so focused on his Torah studies, that occasionally he would take himself into the bathroom to read and learn secular subjects–namely mathematics . (I think the individual was the Vilna Gaon?)
With the potential to spark a riot on the UWS and heavily Jewish enclaves:
This is one of the ways the state wants to plug it’s budget hole….
(Note: unsliced bagels remain tax exempt)
Stupid Albany…..
Got two very strange emails from patients this evening….
They’ve left me shaking my head…
[With hyper-deference to privacy rules, I won't say any more]
Definitely a way to cap off a Monday…
This is definitely pushing things a little too far in my opinion:
Two dem candidates go on hunger strike–one gets enema
Of course this is all taking place in CA…figures…
All we had to bring to school was a few boxes of tissues (for each class no less) on top of all the other pencils, crayons, markers, rubber cement, glue etc.
We didn’t have to bring toilet paper…
And when I was your age…”four square” was also just a game we played on the playground. (Good times)
From yesterday, after agreeing to being a venipuncture volunteer:
From a girl feeling-up my forearms….
“ooh, you have such nice arms, can I stick a catheter in you?
Not quite sure how to respond to that one…
Bike agenda spins cities toward U.N. control, Maes warns
Still no solution however for the kamakaze NYC food delivery guys.
5-Foot Sand Shark Forces Closure of Seaside Beach
The shark was subsequently repulsed by the site of all the fake bake tans and hair products that it returned ot the water, instead of delivering Candygrams.
True, this is from the 9th Circuit court of appeals, but still…it’s too weird
Court: Chipotle restaurant violated disability law
Chipotle’s counters are too high? What about other places like Subway (or other sub shops)? Will this apply to them too?
