Wait, y'all fuckers elected ANOTHER Edwards?
Please tell me he's not related to the one from the 1980's. -Whew, he is not related.
Now I just hope he's not related to me.

Went to work yesterday.
Along about lunch time, was suddenly crushed by lethargy and an inability to stay warm. Didn't feel sick, just unusually tired and cold.
Got home, skipped dinner, went straight to bed at about 7:45p, which disappointed Kati because she was making something special.
Got up around 11a, feel fine now.
However, everyone else in the house is now coughing, puking, freezing, and moaning.
Was it the dinner? Was it some bug? Did everyone finally get whatever our son had earlier this week? Nobody knows and everyone is miserable.

I tell a bad joke: That's a paddlin'
I post a limerick: That's a paddlin'
No matter what I say!
But it's dawned on me, eh?
I think it's her who wants that paddlin'
FUCKING INCOMPLETE SHIPPING ADDRESS!

Our ISP blocked port 80 (the standard webserver port) for all incoming connections on their non-corporate clients because of an attack. They didn't have us listed as a corporate client. Oops. It would have been nice to have known this before I spent a couple hours rebooting routers and servers, reconfiguring routers and servers, and generally scratching my head before calling the ISP to ask them if something was up.
Because it is not an actual holiday like Lobster Fest.

Also, am I the only one clearly perceiving the dissonance of having Denis Leary, in his best cynical Boston accent, trying to sell Ford trucks to Texans like he's some kind of authority on pickups, working acreage, and punching cattle?
Also also, the date range of this "Truck Month" spot runs from 2/17 to 4/3. That's the latest "truck month." The hell kinda fucked up calendar are they using??

Denis Leary has a weird career... he's a conservative comedian, which means he has trouble finding work in Hollywood on big projects, so he's kind of forced into taking bit parts, doing clubs constantly, or jumping onto nationalistic stuff. The real shame is that he's actually a pretty damn good writer for TV and Movies but no one really knows that because he's always stuck on Cable.
Because Dennis Leary is a "working man's" comedian, yet reads less "goofy" than someone like Jeff Foxworthy.
A Metric one?

Nothing makes me feel like I should homeschool my child more than the 4 hours of vacant staring when all I want is for him to do 30 minutes of pointless homework. Sadly I am terrible at teaching things, and I pretty much fear that trying to turn home into school would just end in 12 hours of vacant staring instead.
Really, all I want is for his fucking IEP to reflect the fact that it takes Herculean effort to get my son to do school work in an environment that is not school. I am still angry that his amazing special ed coordinator from last year moved out of state over the summer. Because the one he has now, no matter how nice she may be, sucks in comparison.

Something strange happened when Deadpool finished last night that I wanted to briefly discuss.
Now, normally, when a movie ends, you hear everyone around you talking about the movie. Favourite lines, moments, etc. Or just talking in general, right? Typical of large crowds: murmuring and such.
Except when Deadpool finished, everyone quietly left the theatre. Even as we were all walking down the narrow hallway, into the main area, no one was talking. And this was a crowd of maybe 100 or more. I felt less like I was exiting a fun, hilarious action movie and more like I was at a funeral procession.
Anyway, that was just a weird thing I observed last night.

Let me pull out my super secret automotive industry dictionary.
Truck month: Any month in which unsold large vehicle inventory exceeds 0 units.
Hope that clears things up.

I watch a disturbing bit on John Oliver about Chipoltes. Please hit up Taco Bell or something
[DOUBLEPOST=1455732858,1455732688][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, what makes a month "Truck Month?"Hundreds, maybe thousands, of commercials are made every year declaring "Truck month" as though it were a special sale at your local dealership. They are constant and unending.I watch a disturbing bit on John Oliver about Chipoltes. Please hit up Taco Bell or something

I must totally zone out. I hate car/truck dealership ads with a passion that I usually reserve for the nasty chick at work.
Who is stirring the pot at work today....omg she drives me to drink and I can't drink.

She can't drink for medical reasons.
Yes, I'm on a ton pf pain medication and other prescriptions. I am pro-beer when I can!
Is it just the alcohol content? Might be able to work around that a little.

So, I've had a fun couple of days.
Monday evening, I suddenly experienced the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. It was a shooting pain in my back, on the right side, in the kidney area. It was so painful that at one point I was doubled over on the floor unable to get up. My first fear was that it might be a kidney stone, but then it could also just be severe gas pain, and since it eventually went away, I thought perhaps that was the end of it.
Tuesdays I work overnight, and during my overnight shift, the pain came back. Not as severe this time, but a constant pain, that eventually lead to dizziness and fainting. I couldn't stand up without falling over. So... yeah, it might be time to go to a hospital.
Cue the rest of my day today. For the record, doctors are useless. After waiting forever in agonizing pain to be seen, I was examined, and the doctor basically shrugged her shoulders and said to take ibuprofen for the pain, and to wait and see if it went away. They took blood work and lots of other tests, and will let me know in a week what they say. In the meantime, I'm supposed to just take Motrin and try to ignore the blinding pain in my back, and if it doesn't go away in a few days to come back so they can do an ultrasound.
Thanks, doc, you're a great help.
