I went to the after hours clinic, and the doctor confirmed my suspicions. I have the same ailment that pretty much everyone else in the city has. Only with me, it's hitting harder and longer. I'm not sure why I'm so blessed, but there you go. The doctor told me to take the weekend off work (and supplied me with a handy note which I then took directly to work). By the time I go back to work next week, I won't remember how to do anything.

And now for a few delayed links:

Yep I Smell: A LJ community for people who abhor bathing. Commiserate with the poor, sad people who are told "Wash up, or you're not allowed to eat Thanksgiving dinner with us" and choose to go hungry rather than compromise their ideals. People are so fucked up.

No Sex Tonight: The whole Venus and Mars thing takes a new perspective (thanks, Dead Corpse).

Primary school bans pencil cases: Pencil cases could be used to hold dangerous weapons, after all.

Foreign Language Pledges Irk Student: “This is America, and we got soldiers at war,” the 15-year-old said. “When you’re saying the Pledge in a different language which nobody understands, that’s not OK.” There's no note on when the pledge will be rewritten in IM-speak.

Mummified Head of Mata Hari, Famous Spy, Missing: This would be an excellent premise for a B movie (thanks, Doyce).

Killer crocodile snared in Uganda: Poor critter was only hungry (thanks, balthcat).

Man eats own penis: "Asked about the patient's mental state, one staff member said: 'If you cut your sex organ and then eat it, then something is wrong with you.'"

2005 International Snow Sculpture Championships: Wow. Not a single naughty snowman to be seen.

That revoltin’ article about earwax and smegma: I had no idea the best source of smegma was from dead horses in rendering plants. I'm sure this information is useful somehow.

Chihuahua Adopts Chick: Why must the photo be so garish?

"I've recently been hired as a reservation clerk at a call centre. Although it's not the sort of employment I've dreamed of, it's neither something that gives me nightmares."

Replace 'neither' with 'not', and you've got yourself a sentence.

(And I'm assuming you've got enough true grit to not land me with a reply that says 'Don't correct my stuff.' Else I'll hunt down f00 and give'm an extreme wedgie.)

You're absolutely correct. I think I may have been about to add a nor something, and then, in a state of sick-induced retardation, forgot.
