There are several herpes-related antiviral meds that will lessen the severity and length of a shingles episode. Hopefully, his doctor prescribed something. The quest for a good punchline in no way reflects on my sympathy for **Alien’s** situation. ---

Gordie has the runs, and my hairdryer started smoking the morning. I am apparently under siege by the Raleigh division of TVCTPMO. ---

Yeah, that sucks. Being off from 11PM to 7AM is a bit… _on the short side_. Between commuting eating and showering you probably have about 4-5 hours left to actually **sleep** :eek: Although having a full 24 hours between shift-end and the next shift-start sounds not too bad! 🙂 > [@Rebo](#): > > Hail to all the returnees! Hey!!! :mad: It’s raining here already. Now that’s a **good** thing. But I **don’t** want it to turn into hail!! 😃 ---

Acyclovir is my friend. No longer look like a facepaintless Joker, now look like I lost a fight with a rabid raccoon. Where do they come up with these names? A random letter generator? ---

Hai. It hailed briefly here (for, like, 5 minutes), while I was out grabbing my lunch. I guess that’s all Mindy’s fault, coz he’s the only returnee Mumper in the GTA. Congrats to **BusKid**! I think it’s cute that her fiance actually asked for daddy’s approval. Awwwww. 🙂 ---

Ugh. Two more hours 'til Quit O’Clock. For some reason I’m a big clock watcher today. It’s just been that kind of day. **@Manha[sup]2[/sup]** - Whoa there, don’t blame me, I didn’t bring that back with me. I came bearing sunshine and ponies and Ernest Borgnine. (Don’t ask me, he was following the ponies.) **@VBob** - There’s an acronym I can get behind. **@Rebo** - Oh, crap! They have branches _everywhere_ I’ve been. And they’re always busy. ---

Hi guys. Somehow I don’t think I checked in this morning. Today is my grandpa’s 81st birthday! My grandparents and I went to Cracker Barrel for lunch and it was yummy, yummy, yummy! ---

Congrats **BusKid**! What is this V that everyone’s excited about? I have tuna steaks that I’m going to make for dinner tonight. But I’m feeling uninspired about how to cook them. Usually we just grill them, but I think I’d like to add some… well, something tonight. Any suggestions? They’re albacore steaks. ---

Screwit, I’m heading home. I was here by 8:30am for a freakin’ conference call (which, incidentally, ended up getting delayed to 9:15am due to technical issues), and I’ve run out of real work and look-busy work and even obviously-not-busy-at-all work. So yeah… time to go home. 😛 ---

20 minutes and I can blow this pop stand. **@Taxi** - V was a pair of miniseries from back around '84, followed by a short-lived TV series (I think it only lasted one season) and was basically about lizard-like aliens in human disguises landing on Earth under the guise of peace. It was quite good for its day and had a pretty large budget for a made-for-TV thing. The V that’s on tonight is the modern remake of that and anyone who’s a fan of the original is gonna be tuning in to check it out – myself included. **@BusDude** - Oh, forgot to mention, congrats on the offspring getting hitched! ---
