Actually, I wonder if I got the term right: A cephalo-caudal inversion would indicate that her head is where her ass should be. Wouldn’t having her head up her ass be something like a “cephalo-caudal intussuception”? Q.E.D., can you help us out?
Only in your twisted little mind, Zabaldi.
Well chique, our esteemed Zabali would know all about posting two versions of a story in two different threads that don’t mesh with each other.
She’d also know all about having a meltdown after asking people for their opinions and finding that they answered honestly and not merely in agreement with her.
I prefer the term “anal-cranial insertion.”
I always heard it as “Cranial-Rectal Inversion.”
Good post here. Now as many of you know, I have no problem at all of saying right here in the open “Bad call, dudes” to our hard-working but hardly deific staff.
But in this case - I agree 100% with Czarcasm’s call here. In fact, that thread was making me uneasy- and I don’t get uncomfortable very easy at all.
Sorry, Indygrrl , you’re a asset to this board, but many of us read something very sinister and evil in those words you posted. Perhaps you didn’t mean that- but that’s the way we read them.
Here is some advice- stop screwing around here. Either tell her boss, the police, or just stop bringing in pills or store them someplace 100% safe. No more weird revenge fantasies, or whatever. Blow the whistle or make her thefts impossible. There is no other good way for this to go. Please.
Uh, it’s a medication bottle in her purse. She’s putting stuff in there for her own personal use, not as handouts to the office junkie.
It’s not at all unreasonable for Indygrrl to consider the inside of her purse to be that 100% safe location. Not her fault her coworker is a thieving junkie, and not her fault if the coworker takes something that makes her sick.
catsix while you are right that Indygrrl was the one getting stolen from, DrDeth is correct that it is a matter for the police, and her boss is wrong in thinking nothing will be done. That co-worker could be caught in illegal possession of a controlled substance. Read my most recent post in the thread I started in GQ.
Wow, you’re still on your high horse and pretending that you aren’t a condescending reactionary asshole.
Get off it, Zabali. You over-reacted, you acted like an asshole about it, and now you’re running off to start GQ threads to stir up more shit where people can’t directly call you on it.
And once again, just like in the ‘Was I raped?’ and ‘You’re all assholes for answering honestly.’ Train wrecks, you’re spinning like a top here. You acted like a fucktard. You are still acting like a fucktard.
What happens to the thief stealing Indygrrl’s medicine is not Indygrrl’s problem, not even if it makes the thief sick. She ought to be able to keep her own medication in her own purse without having some fucking asshole like you claim she’s responsible for the idiotic and willful actions of the office junkie.
Um, hello? I just gave Indygrrl the info she needs to get her boss to get up and do something about the problem, did you even read my post?
Yeah, I read your post. You’re a jackass.
I’ll second this motion!
I’ve already reported it twice. And like I stated earlier, I am keeping the meds in my pocket until this is resolved. You can relax about it as I am no longer endangering anyone by keeping my personal medication in my purse.
I set the alarm for a while yesterday, but I had to come back and actually do work so I didn’t catch her yet. Damn work getting in the way of my sleuth operation!! 
I know! They keep wanting me to work here too! They don’t understand that I need to know how this story turns out. 
I completely understand why Indygrrl took her time calling in the police, demanding action from their superiors, or setting up a trap. Indygrrl seems to be a nice person. Nice people do not take lightly the idea of getting someone arrested, fired, or both. Sure, maybe the public humiliation and possible loss of support systems will serve as a wake-up call for Indy’s young addict friend, but I’m willing to bet that unemployment and legal troubles more often send addicts spiraling downward.
Indy, you did the right thing by putting so much consideration into calculating what the right course of action really is for this situation.
Oh, yeah, and when my husband and I travel, we combine all our prescription meds, OTC pills, and vitimins into one pill bottle, legality be damned, for our convenience. Of course it is kept out of the reach of small children and pill-loving dogs*, but to hell with any mentally competant grown-up who decides it’s a good idea to rummage through our things and ends up with prednisone in their system instead of a nice relaxing Xanex.
*My mother-in-law’s cocker spaniel. Loves pills. Any pill. I take my pills in the bedroom, with him shut out, because if I drop one, he’ll gobble it up like it were kibble.
There is one thought floating through my mind.
My doctor is really reluctant to prescribe pain meds on the “addictive” scale. And most people I know don’t casually get them from their doctor either. My girlfriends and I talk about “hording” them - not using the whole prescription I got for my root canal - so that it will be there if the headache gets really bad or the back goes out again. Given that pain meds are such little nuggets of gold in my reality, how can you tolerate losing them? Aren’t you worried that if you continue to allow (even just by passively allowing her to steal when you forget to lock up your purse) her to feed her habit off your perscription, you doctor will begin to wonder about how many refills you need and suspect you either having your own addiction problem, or are sharing or selling your meds and cut you off of the stuff you sound like you really need?
And aren’t you worried that she will still all your pain killers just when you had plans to be away from your home for several hours - leaving you without any way to manage an onset of pain?
I’d be making sure she gets caught out of self preservation. If I needed regular pain meds, I wouldn’t jepordize my chance of being able to continue to get regular pain meds - short term (the pill isn’t in my purse when I need it) or long term (my doctor cuts me off thinking I have an addiction problem). You may be nice, but she is being a selfish bitch if you are in pain because she wanted a Vicodin buzz - and it doesn’t make any difference if the addiction is physical, or because she’s a victim of Vicodin chic.
And it really doesn’t matter if she has a physical addiction or if she takes them because of “Vicodin Chic.”
What is Vicodin chic?
I keep my whole prescription at home and only bring two with me to work. No, I can’t afford to lose any of them. I am in serious pain, which is why I have the meds in the first place. Fortunately, she’s only stolen about four total. There have been five incidents, and one of them is when she stole the anti-depressant.
I would never bring any more than I can afford to lose. Like you, I horde them because I never know how bad the pain is going to be.
Did you report it to the police or to your boss? What did the police say?
Vicodin chic is like Herion Chic.
Vicodin is one of the popular abuse drugs of choice. There are a whole lot of people addicted to stuff, not because they started with a physical need, but because its cool (and then they eventaully get physically addicted). Cocaine was cool. Herion went through a phase (but it kills people too fast). There were (and probably still are - I’m too old now to know) the “Rave” drugs. Perscription pain meds seem to be “hot” right now.
Chic as in fashionable or the new thing to do, not the slang for young female. 
Just to clarify.
