I'm skeptical of the powers of citronella against any kinds of insects as well.

Z-chan, why are you traveling in North America? And more to the point, if you're going to be in Toronto, why aren't you stopping to see ME? I'm not that far from there, you know!

Lots of characters fitting Geoff's terrorist description sleep in and around that station. Why can't public transportation be more accomodating of our individual plans?

OK .... the obvious question is .... why on earth would you want to go to Naples?? So much of Italy is sooooo beautiful.

And then there's Naples.

Mostly because public bureaucrats define "customer service" as "customers serve us!".

We love it down there in southern Italy. The people and places are beautiful, and the food is outstanding. Especially "street chicken," nice roasted chickens turning on a spit outside shops on their sidewalks. Beautiful weather. Beautiful bay. Handy volcano located conveniently nearby. With all that, the question should be: What's not to like?

Stupid Carrara can't figure out how much memory it needs without crashing... ARGH!

(It's a 3D app, in case anyone is wondering. And it's not just that the app is crashing, it's taking the Mac down with it, which a well-behaved app ought not to be able to do.

and while we're on the topic, WHY in the name of god would anyone want to make a stop in detroit (USA), if they are flying from Toronto (Canada) to Edmonton (wait for it... still Canada) ??? not only is it not on the trajectory, it's NOT EVEN IN THE SAME COUNTRY !!!!! gaaaah !!!
...

You know, I believe most Air France flights to Australia are practically direct from Charles de Gaulle, certainly close to a straight line (aside from the earth's curvature), with only a tiny stop in Kuala Lumpur or similar. What's stopping you (well, aside from any necessity and the 25 hours of air travel

)?

Cheers,

(^^#$^*)(&*&%$&%**!!!!!!!! incompetent night shift nurses and ward secretaries!!!!!!

It woudl seem that it is waaaaaay too much to ask that they do their jobs. I came in this morning and there were for patients listed for admits over night. As the morning dribbled on the nurses kept coming to me with "They missed an admit that you now have to work up in limited time."

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Temper temper...temper that temper....

It must be very frustrating for you and upsetting to the patients, I imagine.

Especially since that is the only way that I have of knowing to assign a psychiatrist to their case. They may have gone all day without being seen.

Geoff, you forgot to say, "That'll be $250, pay the lady (er I mean laddy) at the door."

badgoodDeb · 07-30-2008, 01:15 PM

It was $300 when there was a lady at the door. Be thankful that it's now a laddy. He comes cheaper.

Maybe the pandas can provide some calming snuggles to the patients .... and to you. Sorry you're having a hassled day.
