Ever have......

Ever have one of those days that are both good and bad at the same time?

Well, today is starting off to be one of those days, being both good and bad at the same time. The good part is work is a little slow, and there is nothing for me to do, but it's also bad for the exact same reason.

It's like when I ride my bike on the river trail with friends who are stronger than me. It's good because there are no traffic lights or intersections to slow us down, but it's bad because there are no traffic lights or intersections to slow us down, giving me a chance to catch my breath.

Oh well, such is life, so here I sit with nothing much else to do except post to my blog, and wait for the traffic to die down, before maybe heading home. I say maybe because I am expecting a shipment of wine, from one of the wine clubs I belong to, to be delivered by UPS today at work.

[I think I'll change all my ship to addresses to my home address, so this doesn't happen again.]

In the mean time, I'm going to go bug my co-workers. :)

UPDATE: 12 PM

It's too bad I didn't go home early, since after trying to catch up on some paper work I always keep putting off [I think I know why now], I got all worked up when I found a number of paper work errors.

Fortunately they weren't major problems, and I discovered them before an auditor did, but now I can't help but wonder what other problems may be out there that haven't been discovered yet.

well, you've certainly found plenty to do! And if you came to work four days a week instead of two imagine how motivated I would be with you riding my A&** all day.

RE: Computer/Camera

If you are taking your laptop, you can easily upload your video and pictures to your laptop if you are concerned about running out of space on your cards.

By the way, did you get the Mac?

And I am iron deficient, big time. [Which would account for my low hemoglobin] Test Result Ref Range IRON 30 59-158 mcg/dL TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY 231 250-420 mcg/dL IRON SAT 13 20-50 % My Ferritin levels were good, but that could be because Ferritin is also an "acute phase reactant", that is sometimes increased with acute or chronic disease. Folate and B12 levels were also within the normal range. The only problem now is determining what is causing the iron deficiency, which in the case of men, is [very] rare. My oncologist has given me a Globin Fecal test to perform, and has scheduled me for a consultation with a colorectal surgeon to discuss performing a colonoscopy, which could be problematic because of my large spleen. In the mean time, I've decided to start taking an iron supplement, it's only the quantity that is causing me some consternation. I've been told by a very knowledgeable person that to overcome an iron deficiency, I need to be taking 300 mg o...

This is just one of those days

It's one of those days you just want to sit around the house and do absolutely nothing, or watch some movies you have recorded. It might even be a good day to read a book, if you were so inclined, which I am not. As you should be able to see from the view out my bedroom window, it is raining outside. The rain started last night, and hasn't let up since. I can't complain too much though, as this is the rainy season, and we do need the rain. Plus Monday's are typically my day off from exercise, so I will surprise everyone, and not complain. I just feel sorry for anyone who might be visiting from, say Argentina, like a friend of mine (fellow MCLer), who happens to be in Cambria today. He might be a little disappointed. Fortunately the rest of the week, when he will be in LA, will be nice, and the real intent of his trip was to visit his son in Tahoe, who works at one of the ski resorts, and ski, so I know he's not complaining too much either. This weather will actually...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...
