Groggy as all hell

[twicketface]

Well, I got to get up early this morning to go to work. It was ok, I guess. I stayed up late last night because Liz was coming in from Chicago. I thought after 4 hours in the car, she might want someone to talk to. She had caffeine, so she was a little on the peppy side. We had a nice chat, but I didn’t end up hitting the hay until about midnight. 6 am came rather early.

Had about 20 or 30 photo Ids to do this morning at work, so it wasn’t too bad. Got home by 10 or so. Only embarrassing part was when 2 15-year-old girls came to have their IDs taken, I overheard one comment to the other as they were leaving that I had a boner. Now, if I actually had a boner, I would have been embarrassed, but the fact that I was bonerless makes me a little irritated. As much as I would have liked to follow them out of the and explain that I did not have a boner, the repercussions made this not a good option. Sigh.

I got back and our friend Carrie A. was also in town from Kansas City for a wedding of one of her former roommates. So, we went out to eat and visited for a bit. It was really nice.

Marie and I hit the shopping circuit after Liz and Carrie went their ways. Dropped off Marie’s engagement and wedding ring to be soldered together for the wedding. We also went in search of a camera, but came up empty handed. Best Buy didn’t have a big selection and everything they had seemed really small and had tiny viewfinders. I felt even more like a giant. So we’ll try a camera place in Oshkosh and see what they have to offer.

If I get one more pop-up window for that stupid X-10 web cam, I’m going to fucking puke. Yeah, not just puke. Fucking puke.

So when we got back into town from shopping, I took a nap and Marie did some exercising. I woke up groggy as all hell and disoriented. I hate taking naps, but I was really tired. I usually can function well without a lot of sleep, but not today.

Random thoughts of the night (a first for me!):
How did Vanna White become Vanna White? I can’t figure it out.

Marie bought Jenga this weekend. Jenga anyone?

I would love to give away a million dollars to a worthwhile cause. Anybody looking to spare some cash?

I’m not clipping my toenails for a few weeks and then going to get a pedicure. But I’ll wash me feet extra good.

Sending Sarah to College so she can become a nurse and then medical researcher and cure cancer is a worty cause n'est-ce pas?

Most certainly. I'll keep you posted on my quest for the 7 digit fortune.

I read an article that was basically saying that the cure for cancer is being held back because of the reprecussions on the medical industry (how many people would lose their jobs, etc). What do you think? Also, if a cure for cancer was found, would it be affordable for everyone or just the rich?

most certainly just the rich at first, it would be the same as the pharmaceutical industry when a new drug comes out.

Name brand drugs are freakishly expensive and the generic forms usually don't come out for a few years after the invention of the name brand. I realized the other day that the brand drugs cost so much more than the generic because the research has to be paid for somehow. The generic companies can get the knowledge after the big companies like pfizer do all the work. It's an interesting system.

Ethically, I don't think researchers would hold it back for the reprecussions on the industry, researchers as a breed of people are in it for results, it's what they love. Medical researchers especially have just as strong a desire to help people as doctors.

I've found that doctors really do deserve the huge amounts of money they make because most of them would do what they do if they got paid less. They do it becuase they have a drive to help people. I have seen all of the doctors in the clinic where I work do pro bono work on a number of occassions. And Jon, my boss has gotten reamed helping people before.

So...that's my opinion.

I've heard the same type argument as to why drugs aren't legalized - one reason is because of the lose of gov't jobs (DEA, police, etc).

I just think things get messed up when insurance gets involved. Ick.

But yes, if I come across a million, I'll send some your way.

My future mother and father in law are both in insurance as well. No offense intended.

Today is my bachelor party.
