And, in the Grand Tradition of Tuesday Morning Posts... I work with idiots. No, really. I mean it. Although this time there wasn't a specific incident of idiocy, it was more of an overflow of complete cluelessness. Which, for people who're supposed to know what they're talking about, is kind of frightenig. (Also, it took 15 minutes, two doctors, 3 lawyers, and a nurse to figure out how to turn on the heat in the room. The answer being 'turn the dial that's on the side of the heater'. ...I'm impressed. No, really, I'm impressed.)

Furthermore, it strikes me that referring to HIV as a 'disease' or people who have it as 'sick patients' isn't altogether accurate. It's a condition that makes people more affected BY diseases, but it's not a disease in it's own right, eh? And the people involved aren't necessarily 'sick' in the conventional sense. And lessons in political correctness might be appreciated, too (one of the people referred to a clinic as 'it's in THAT PART of town' as a reason for the doctors to be specialized in HIV treatments. Erm... perspective, if you please).

In conclusion: idiots.

Chai tea. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket and wearing sweats. Life is good, sometimes, in the simplest of ways. So, sure, I'm on the couch writing an essay, but I suppose we can't have it all, right?

Plus, tea. And not having to face the snow again until tomorrow (if it's not gone by then). The curtains are closed, and I am exercising my carefully mastered powers of denial. There is no snow. *nods*

I'm starting to think that long-distance sucks, generally. And long-distance with incompatible schedules suck more. And... I'm not altogether sure what my point is, here, apart from the wee bit where I'm not liking this much right now.

Oh, the angst.

Right now? Everything sucks. Really.

Anyone want to get me a plane ticket to Mexico? South America? Asia? Africa? Someplace completely and utterly removed from my current location?

All right. Given all possible options (including working on an essay that's due tomorrow, studying, doing the pile of reading I SHOULD be doing, dealing with any of my current issues, etc) I've decided that bed seems like the most intelligent plan. 'cause forgetting about things for a few hours? Is a Good Thing. Also, that Mexico idea? Is sounding better and better.
