It's not actually my car in the pic, but I do have one exactly like it (20% off deal was too good to pass up). Going to be sad to see them go bye bye after this year.
1: Fluoroscopic-guided lumbar steroid injections, even with the weaksauce local anesthetic they give you, suck *****. After you think the worst of it is over (while the doctor is repeatedly re-positioning the four rather large needles into just the right spot), that's when they start pumping fluid into your spinal column, which is the most disorienting feeling I've ever experienced.
2: What the **** is it about hospital OR nursing that attracts ALL of the cute young blondes and Koreans? I mean, are nursing schools literally recruiting at cheer-leading camp or something? Seriously, I've been on the operating table a total of four times now in the past ten years, and so I feel qualified to observe that private-practice nurses have NOTHING on hospital nurses. (As an aside, this is probably a good indicator that I need to start taking better care of my body...)
3: When the cute nurse says "Doctor, BP is down to 95 over 40, heartrate 44" with more than a touch of anxiety in her voice, and you're fully conscious, this is disconcerting. When the doc said "I need you to take long, deep breaths", the best reply I could come up with was "Roger, understand long deep breaths." That's pilot training for you...
4: Holy fuckballs, was all that pain ever worth it. The first 24 hours were a bit uncomfortable, but today I actually feel like a normal human.
Glad it's working for you. My procedure wasn't very painful, more like just uncomfortable. It really didn't help, just like the surgeon said. But it's cheaper than surgery, so they have to do it.
This is why I love WGN. We do at least one band in the studio every morning, sometimes 2-3:
Note on the back of a 55" Panasonic monitor, which is part of a 3x3 array. "Please don't hand and throw no the field and part of a mark." I literally have no idea what that means. You'd think that for $103,000 they could afford to have the Japanese directions translated into English by someone other than a Russian child.
Given the historical association between wire coat-hangers and amateur abortions, I find this... odd.
No comment needed on this one. I can't wait to install this beast. Our lead A1 is gonna **** a kitten when he sees it.
So technology, very lights, much camera.
Seriously, why do people have dogs like this in small condos? This isn't a fluke, I see these monsters every time I use the freight elevator. (This is a classy building, they don't allow their kind in the nice elevators.)
Is that why you were in the freight elevator as well? Because they don't allow your kind in the nice ones?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Wiseass. My finely-dressed, well-haircutted self is the classiest thing in the whole damn lobby. +
There are six pax elevators (three each for 1,2-28 and 1,2,28-55), plus two freight elevators that do B1-56. To access the laundry room, you have to either take one of the freight elevators, or take a pax elevator to 1, walk all the way across the building, down a flight of stairs, and then all the way back again.
Also, we had some electric mini-bikes in the studio. I hijacked one and rode it through the whole TV station including the newsroom and the GM's office. A quick-thinking photg grabbed a camera while I was riding past the ND's office, so I fully expect to be in some future fluff piece. And I'm pretty sure that, as an employee, they don't need a waiver to broadcast me.
