196. moms coming home and finding dads dead on treadmills. (just happened to a friend of mine's mom+dad. dude had a good heart. but evidentally, maybe not as good as they thought. zoinks.)

i feel the work vibes on the last few. that one i posted about above... they did offer me the job. i think i'm gonna take it and just take my chances. had a good talk with my direct boss. for the first time in 6 years, i'll have group health coverage and paid time off. == shocking.

treadmills are almost as dangerous as leaf-raking and shovelling snow for the old folks.

204. Someone at my work (who I don't know) died after fighting a mystery infection for two weeks in hospital. The informal word is that she got sick after getting a flu shot, and docs couldn't figure it out/fight it. Only 27 yrs old.

oh serious bummer :(

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 01:37 (seventeen years ago) link

AFFCAP (as far from civilization as possible)

― friday on the porch (lfam), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 01:43 (seventeen years ago) link

It might have been Guillain-Barre Syndrome. My dad got that after a flu shot. Got a little sick a few days later, and within half a week, he could hardly walk or lift a fork. Perfectly healthy at the time.

Which is why being AFFCAP and avoiding flu shots is really the only option.

― the table is the table (trees), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 03:00 (seventeen years ago) link

that seems pretty treatable, though

― friday on the porch (lfam), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 03:07 (seventeen years ago) link

― mark coleman (lovebug ), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

but I don't really give enough of a shit for it to be a true bummer, hopefully Roky gets some money out of the deal?

medical care isn't cheap so whatever roky's gotta do he's gotta do and i'm not going to begrudge him any for it.

that's fair.

Oh totally, I never feel like it's about the artists -- of COURSE they deserve to make money from their projects, and need money to live on in this crazy system that we use. It's more the marketing exec who comes up with the tunes that I feel ire toward...or his hipster underling? Whatever, it's all about the "cool" person working there whose job it is to spot happening things and co-opt them.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i know a dude out in portland who licenses music for commercials and he always tries to help out bands he likes first. that's how the ponys wound up in a fucking all-state commercial last spring or how the tyrades wound up being broadcast coast to coast despite only having two 7"s released. not so much co-option as friends helping friends.
