Meh, maybe. I'd rather err on the side of caution. And it's been my experience that mental health care workers can be pretty cavelier about the discomfort of their clients. Not all, but enough to make dealing with them pretty much a crap shoot.

if you're out there somewhere, dude: Happy Birthday!

I mean, whatever. I've never worked in outpatient mental health, so maybe she's right. But I hope you got her name in case she's not.

What a twatwaffle. A hallucination is kind of uncontrollable by definition. Did you tell her that it's interfering with your work?

No. I said I used the bathroom.

I can't make the decision for you. I can only tell you what I think. What I think is that it's not going to get better by itself, and that even if it just stays the same, it's going to be damn hard to work with the distraction. And if it gets worse, you're going to wind up in the ER anyway. I understand about the bill, but I don't want to see you go off the deep end, either.

I don't think that it's a good idea to wait. Is anybody answering the phone there?

KEEP CALLING!!! Go to the ER if you have to. You've got the FMLA to protect your job. Look, I may be overreacting, but I think this is an emergency. If nothing else, it's interfering with your ability to perform at your job. And I'm concerned about it escalating.

Thank you. Auditory hallucinations are nothing to fool around with. I'm taking this at face value because it's actually an emergency. If you're choosing to be patronizing, that's your call. However, as I have said before, hearing voices once wound up with me driving for 3 days and nights, stopping only for gas, coffee, cigarettes, and the bathroom, and ended with a week on a psych ward in Philadelphia (at a time when I was living near Orlando). You can learn from my experience, or you can learn from your own. Your choice.

If you're hearing voices, you shouldn't be posting about it. You should be calling your shrink right away. And you probably shouldn't be at work, especially if you can't differentiate between voices and The Voices.

Abracadabra! You're a sandwich. And I didn't even have to go to the kitchen.

It's ok. You weren't there.

There weren't any states at the time. They were colonies.

I remember one of the afflicted girls at the Salem witch trials being referred to as a junior in court documents, but that's the only time I've ever seen it used. (At least that's what I've read; believe it or not, I wasn't actually there.)

Well, to be fair, they weren't the greatest pictures, but Mom made Tang so we could feel like we were there.

Enjoy the peace and quiet.

Venipuncture.

I thought that that was plain dynamite. Shrapnel makes for poor eating - it's like hunting deer with a shot gun, and you could break a tooth on it.

Out of curiosity, exactly what are the commercial and/or agricultural applications of a pipe bomb?

First it was peanuts, then it was tree nuts, and now it's applesauce. It'd be worth a full-blown rant if non-political topics mattered any more.

Military hottie is asking for a good dose of Talk No Jutsu.

Rice and beans are a lot cheaper than bologna. Usually healthier, too, depending on how they're cooked.

Fingers crossed.

Poor baby....I hope they have something positive to offer.
