Stress 1, Medical Science 0

[yendi]

So, I've got my physical scheduled for 3PM today. The recorded phone message from the Clinic on Friday said that I shouldn't eat for eight hours before the exam, otherwise I'd have to get blood drawn on a different day. That would mean not eating anything (or getting more coffee!) after 7AM.

I tried.

But today is also a day of monumental fallout from the weekend upgrade. It's also the start of the Twelve Straight Days of Work. I've already responded to more panicked calls for help today than I had in the last two weeks. And it's only going to get worse.

No fucking way could I make it eight hours.

I'll just deal with not eating breakfast at home and coming in tomorrow morning to get stabbed in the arm.

Stupid "eight hours." Dr. McCoy would call the very concept barbaric. I want my fucking medical tricorder.

You'll have to go to India for a tricorder...the US has offshored all the R&D and production of them over there...
