Right, I've been ignoring this news for some time because I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's good, but it's still a bit of overkill, in my opinion. Have a look and see what you think:

"15 shots a day"? These people must have been verging suicidal before this procedure...

I really hate doctors. Referrals, notices of appointments - all are necessary for dealing with them, and I can successfully keep track of none of them. This annoys me greatly. Where did I put that wretched piece of paper...!?
Weather: still good, unaccountably.
Work: frustrating - this really isn't what I want to be doing. What I do want to be doing is finding out about stuff. I'm good at that, but nobody will pay me to try.
Ever get the feeling you're in the middle of a really bad day, and just haven't been paying enough attention?

It's been one of those days where nothing has gone right, and nobody's been around for long enough to allow me to talk to them about it.
For a start, the GMC 400 car race, of all things, has been used to successfully obstruct a lot of the bike paths through town. I was diverted in the trip home from work yesterday, which added an extra ten minutes to my commute and nearly made me late for my gym class. Some of the obstructions appeared from the bus to have been cleared this morning. I'm sure I could negotiate the obstructions, but I don't want to have to....
Today at work, the photocopier ran out of toner, and no replacement toner could be found. All the photocopying I have to do has been put irritatingly on hold, forcing me to hand stuff back, late, to the people who gave it to me. I am mightily ticked off, is all I can say...
Today at h2g2 all the people I have wanted to talk to have left before I could say 'hello'. The rollout of all the new features appears to have gone well enough, but several of the 'Guide entries I put in have disappeared for some reason. I have to wait for some time zone equalisation before THAT one can be resolved.
Am I just selfish? Is this just a bad day? Actually, in weather terms this is a great day, and a nice touch was added for me when the Roulettes [I think that's how you spell the word!] (one of the aerobatic teams of the RAAF) flew past my window early this afternoon.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring...?
