On the bus

A girl sat behind me and got on her cell phone. She was crying; she'd been doing research for school at the library and lost it because Gmail wasn't working there and she'd been intending to send it to herself.
However I'd already lost sympathy because she'd lost track of time and...missed her massage appointment. And she REALLY NEEDED IT. OMG the world was absolutely ENDING because she'd MISSED HER MASSAGE APPOINTMENT.
Some people need perspective, I swear.
I talked to the vet, who recommended an oral insulin for Mei-Mei. To my delight, it's very cheap, $11.00 for a three-week supply as opposed to $61 for a bottle of Glargine. We'll see how it works, but it's an established drug so I'm optimistic.
I'm hoping to spend this evening at Matt's, eating pizza and playing Wii. My fun is low. But first, dishes.

Also, because sometimes the Internets is made of FAIL, research done at libraries is best copied onto a disk and taken back home to work on. But, you know, I guess there are more important things to figure out, like massages. WTF-ever, if she can afford a personal massage then she's better off than most students.
:/
You can has fun now.

Although I keep forgetting that missing her massage takes precedence. It was too weird.

Good thing she doesn't have to go out on the streets on a daily basis and beg for money to pay for her rent, or sell her honey pot to scummy men, to just get by.
Or even wonder daily if her partner, or parent, will get the medical care that he or she needs. That her kids might be press-ganged into some crazy religious militia and have a bomb strapped to them and sent onto a bus to blow themselves up.
*sigh*
It must really be nice to have major things like no email and no body massaging to ruin ones day. You, Teppy, are an evil bitch for not sympathizing with this poor, fragile, self indulgent little brat. Shame, shame on you. You need to reach out and help this poor, distraught bitch.
Use this as a learning moment that will help you make life better for those around you.
Next time, turn around and laugh at the twit. :)
Bad Teppy, baaaaad.

It was really cute and funny, though, because she was about seven years old.
