I read this as a poop joke and it was awesome.

I live in a fucking Bugs Bunny cartoon. I just spray painted the wrong way at my face.
As a vacation day, today gets a 2/10 seeing as it's 1:30 am and I have several more hours of work to do to catch up from taking the day off.
I'm the only person in my department for the second day in a row - everyone else is out sick. I can also only work 5 hours today, because anything more than that will put me above 40 for the week. The biggest problem with this is that there will be some checks required for various vendors today, and I know the bosses are going to wait until the very last minute, which means they'll just have to pay me some overtime this week.
Someone complained on Tumblr that the article for Little Rock, Arkansas didn't mention the Little Rock Nine, and how this means the town has no history and racism and blah blah.
So I added the LR9 to the notable people section, pointed out that the town's article has no history in it because that's its own article (Timeline of Little Rock, Arkansas), and next time they see something wrong with Wikipedia could they kindly FIX IT INSTEAD JUST OF WHINING ABOUT IT PLEASE.
Or at least complain about the issue BEFORE using it as ammunition for your wider point, fuck.
I don't know why this upset me so much.

They seem to be a member of a community I'm part of that, while having a Tumblr presence, is decidedly not Tumblr-y. Their wider point had some merit, but pointing at a fire to complain about arsonists instead of putting it out or calling the fire department first is a special kind of ugh.
I can't sleep and I have to deal with Shrieky in the morning.
I am, apparently, an idiot. For the last week or so my mouth has been hurting like hell. I attributed this to my back teeth (which, admittedly, really need to be pulled), until yesterday when I realized that my gums were hurting around all of my teeth, not just my two remaining wisdom teeth, and that the pain was actually worse around the non-wisdom teeth. Now, my gums had been getting sensitive for a while, so I've recently been flossing a lot more frequently, and paying more attention to my gums when I brush, and using a fluoride mouthwash. Last night, however, the pain was so bad that I was curled up in the fetal position, alternately hoping that the pain would go away, or that it would get so bad that I just passed out. This is when I started examining the choices I make in my life. Like the fact that my mouth has done this every year for a few years now, always at this time of year. You know... citrus season, when most of what I eat throughout the day is satsumas. While I drink copious amounts of coffee. Sucking on an antacid took care of the pain almost immediately, and this morning, since I haven't had any oranges today, my mouth is fine.
It is, I just wish I could introspect and discover cause before I hit 8+ on the pain scale.
Or at least, that's what I was prescribed when I had a broken wisdom tooth removed. It wasn't too bad though so I never filled the prescription.
I got Percocet after having all of my wisdom teeth taken out.

I was given Hydrocodone (generic Vicodin) that time I got my big toenail ripped out. That was like 10 years ago. I still have pills left. Sometimes I have taken one (or even half of one) when I had really bad back pain or something similar, but I'm always super cautious with it... it knocks me right the hell out. As in, the first time I took it... I barely made it from the bathroom to my bed before I pretty much lost consciousness.
I've had both percocet and vicodin for various things. Percocet is way, WAY stronger.

It varies from doctor to doctor. When I bashed my knee to uselessness on a brick stair and needed an MRI, they told me just to take OTC ibuprofen. And right now for this painful infection I'm fighting off right now, they prescribed Keflex (antibiotic)... and told me to take OTC tylenol for the pain.Man, Americans and their pain killers. I got Ibuprofen for getting my wisdom teeth pulled, and...ibuprofen when I broke my shoulder....and ibuprofen for a herniated disc. For some reason Belgian doctors really like them their ibuprofen
Both of the above hurt worse than the toenail removal.
I'm on some super strong ones and they aren't enough hence the direct injections 
I'm hoping that the pain clinic can go in and fry my nerves.[DOUBLEPOST=1449710291,1449710252][/DOUBLEPOST]

Is it really strong ibuprofen? I think it's kind of cruel to keep people in pain when there is a prescription to help them.Man, Americans and their pain killers.

Don't really remember how much I was supposed to take. Shoulder didn't really hurt that much so I do know I kept'm, because it's hard to get 600mg tablets around here. Any other time, I've only ever been given 400mgs
On top of my pain killers, I'm on two super strong anti-inflammatories as well. I find it weird here how stingy they are over pain meds.
My doctors are careful about prescribing those to me as I have allergies to Penicillin.
I want to be clear, it isn't easy to be prescribed pain meds in the quantities that I am. I had to suffer for years and try one thing before being moved on to the next level. I have my diagnosis for a decade before a biologic was tried. It's taken years to get the direct injections and I could wait months or years for RFA.
I'l gladly keep my amount of painkillers and my amount of pain, thanks. My chronic headaches are mostly manageable with the medicinal use of things we're not allowed to use medicinally over here *cough*
They tend to not pass them out like candy anymore, in my experience. The surgeon gave me a total of 4 oxycodone pills to take home after having my fallopian tubes removed, just in case I needed it. I was given a huge bottle of 400 mg ibuprofen to manage the pain after the first day.Man, Americans and their pain killers. I got Ibuprofen for getting my wisdom teeth pulled, and...ibuprofen when I broke my shoulder....and ibuprofen for a herniated disc. For some reason Belgian doctors really like them their ibuprofen
really that isn't legal medically for you?
Nope. Three different parties have legalisation in their program, but the biggest party in our current government very literally said "never, not ever, with us in government". Au contraire, they stopped the long-standing "acceptance" policy where everything under 3grams was ignored, and went for a zero tolerance War on Drugs style thing. They may be 20 years behind the times, but what do you expect from conservatives
