Half a day

First day of school, actually first half-day of school. Son2 has to go to the doc for a pre-school physical, and I have to take him. Timing is everything. I'm taking a half day off work to do it, so I get a lesuirely morning.

They had a case of flesh-eating bacteria at a hospital in Evanston. Apparently one of the employees was the carrier. His throat culture turned up clean but they found some bugs in his colin sample. So, now you know how that bacteria got spread. Killer farts.

I might get some extended time off anyhow. Rumors of a layoff are flying at work, and the buzz is it'll happen this week. They're re-organizing the whole business structure and they'll probably come up with some unnecessary duplication. I hope I'm necessary!

the last one -*- the next one
