Good grief! That is awful... For all involved. Seems pretty irresponsible of the MD. On the other hand, knowing addicts... many will do anything for a dose. I hope said vacationer/patient gets appropriate med help!Originally Posted by bae

This wasn't an addict, it was a poor unsuspecting mother-of-many-children who was here for her first day of vacation, didn't know what hit her :-(
Turned out well though, so yay!
Oh dear... Withdrawal can be truly awful...
Well if he/she wants to post on topic then I say let him/her. Beyond that anything is just feeding (where to start ... nah that would be feeding), since the point of "daily peeves" isn't actually random rants about things that have nothing to do with one's day.Ban chopper now, please. His hate is not welcomed in our safe & respectful community.
Here's a daily peeve: on break, amusing myself picking inedible small red berries off a bush and throwing them down stairs by an apartment (not stairs anyone walks down - in fact they are blocked off to prevent homeless from sleeping down there). Object of the game I just made up: throw them with enough force to get them to roll all the way down the stairs. Caveat: they have to roll down though, can't be directly thrown down, so there's some bouncing involved. Just kind of lost in amusing myself, not even thinking about it. Someone pops out to say "you can't throw that stuff down there". Leave, with bitter thoughts about humanity.

Good point. I don't mind it when people post a couple of changes, as in: I didn't have any onion powder so I omitted it, but yes, sometimes people vary so far from the original they might as well not bother reviewing it.
I hate it when a higher up tells you to send documents to a gov't agency (Customs), but in such a way that makes NO sense at all, and totally contradicts what is in the gov't regulations. However, I have it in writing (email) what I was told to do and how, so if it blows up, my butt is covered.
So, I took a family member to the neurologist today. When I picked them up at the assisted living facility there were no handicapped spots available. Then there were no short term pick up or drop off spots available. Then there were no visitor spots available. So, goody two shoes me, who never cheats ... parked in a vacant administration parking spot to run in and wheel out my loved one in their wheelchair. Wouldn't you know it, the admin person returned in those ten minutes and double parked thus blocking us in. Didn't even leave enough space for the wheelchair to get through to the car. Whine! I had to go to reception, find out whose car it was and get them to move so we could go. Needless to say we were late for the appointment. In my defence I had previously been told by staff that if no other spots were available to go ahead and use an admin spot.
My stupid political representatives in the Missouri House and Senate sent me birthday greetings. Oh ya, I totally want their resources, whether tax supported or private funds, to go to this kind of stupidity. I mean, it's not like I am 100 years old. When the President of the U.S. sends birthday greeting to someone who reaches 100 years, that is fine with me. But not this. Stooopid stooopid politicians.
I sent both of them letters asking them to stop the madness.
Why can't I roast vegetables? Either I incinerate them or they're undercooked. It's the latter this time, so at least they're salvageable...
In the store parking lot got a compliment said thanks. Then the person came up to me, and said "you're very nice". Thanks. I was in a quite chill and favorbly disposed to the world mood. Then she gives me a whole long horrible story asking for money, how she needs $40 (probably to get back somewhere, that's always the story). This is not unusual. Feeling moderately charitably disposed I give her a dollar. I just expect a curt thanks and moving on (that's how it usually is) and that would be fine with me, a dollar is nothing much so whatever. Instead I get an absolute glare of horror that I'm only giving a dollar, just sits there glaring at me for awhile. Like she really expected $40 or a $20 or something. So I imagine she goes off thinking about my "heartless greed and indifference" or something and I go off thinking: "be more guarded".
