janegodzillaSo...Vicodin. Good stuff, I guess. Nothing to write home about. It took the edge off the headache, which was nice -- I took some before bed and woke up feeling a good deal better than I did yesterday, although the fucking headache is still there, but...I don't know. From the way people talk about painkiller narcotics like Vicodin and Percocet, I half-expected it to not only fix my headache, but to do my laundry, advise me on stock options, and make me a sandwich whenever I felt like it. This "slight reduction of pain + vague wonkiness" is extremely anticlimactic.
The funny thing is that normally I hate taking strong meds like this, because I'm ridiculously sensitive when it comes to drugs and half of them either make me sick to my stomach or...wait for it...give me headaches. There's irony in this somewhere, and I deeply resent it. The one time in my life I give in and take strong-ass painkillers, and they don't work nearly as well as I'd expected. Not even a placebo effect! Lame!
The doctor said I could up the dosage if it didn't work the first time around, though, so maybe that will work tonight. I hope it does. I try not to complain too much here when I get headaches, because as maladies go, they're kind of pedestrian, but they're fucking exhausting after a while and I'm ready for them to leave.
Okay. Enough of that.
Lately, the firm has been sending me out to these little technology seminars being given at various other law firms around town. I'm not sure why I'm the person they decided to start sending to these things, but I'm certainly not complaining. It gets me out of the office for one to three hours, I'm learning some interesting things about hardware and software trends, and I get to write memos about the seminars when I get back.
Memos! MEMOS! :D
I realize my genuine delight in memo-writing unequivocally labels me the dorkiest dork in Dorksville, but honestly...I'm the kind of person who loves to take notes, and I'm the kind of person who loves making lists. These memos? Are my notes distilled into list form. FUCKING A. I LOVE THAT SHIT. I can geek out to my heart's content and gleefully blather on about how hardware/software use differs depending on the firm size, and I can look at how change theory affects things, and examine the potential impact on our firm, and while there are only two people here who honestly give a shit...they're the ones sending me to these seminars. So. It all works out!
