cabensonI hope everyone in the southern part of the country is safe from that whore, Katrina. We have a branch facility in Alabama and before I left work today I heard they were powerless and in the midst of tornados. So we are keeping everyone in our prayers as the storm tracks north.
I had a nose bleed all over my lab coat today because of my donut addiction.I was sitting at my microscope and heard someone outside my door mention "Tim Hortons". Like a Pavlovian dog hearing a bell, I turned my head too quickly as I was jumping out of my seat and cracked the bridge of my nose on one of the oculars. Sometimes I really hate Mondays. And no, I didn't get any donuts. Fookers.
I have in my hands a sizeable paycheck from my recently re-approved disability insurance. I tell you ladies and gents, DRINKS ARE ON ME!!!!!!
Unfortunately, this means my tenure as a "kept" woman is over. Unless I don't tell her...

all the cocainea blood disorder I had in highschool.::Iamsoembarrassedforyou::
After 15 years, they are used to it. It usually happens right before a department meeting too.

Date: 2005-08-29 11:42 pm (UTC)Actually, I've been treated for ITP that was brought on by Evan's Syndrome. I've been on and off prednisone for about 10 years now even though I've developed a type of immunity to it.
Did you have the IVIg treatments? That's one of the last things left that works on me short of actual blood product transfusions. I finished a course of Rituxan infusions back in March to stabilize my platelet count FINALLY after some very scary months. Also, I've had my spleen out.
