[01:36:22] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: o/ How was your day?
[01:37:10] <AzumaHazuki> long. but some good news may be forthcoming. i may be interviewing for an inpatient position in one of Buffalo's hospitals soon. they are...very very enthusiastic and things are moving at unheard of speeds with this
[01:37:28] <Bytram> Woo Whoo!
[01:37:47] <AzumaHazuki> it's a little over 19 an hour, 11 PM to 7 AM full time (37.5 hours), and it's pure inpatient: unit dosing, deliveries, non-sterile compounding, etc
[01:38:08] <AzumaHazuki> if i get this it will make getting hired in canada far, far easier
[01:38:23] <Bytram> But, be sure to inverview future cow-orkers to make sure you can get along with them, and to find out why there was a vacancy.
[01:38:31] * AzumaHazuki nods
[01:38:51] * Bytram gnaws
[01:39:05] <AzumaHazuki> well it's got to be better than 13+ day streaks bouncing all over the rough parts of town from pharmacy to pharmacy doing outpatient struggling for 40 hours a week at barely over minimum
[01:39:51] <AzumaHazuki> night shift does scary things to the body so i'm researching like hell. already picked out blackout curtains, a sleep mask, an aroma diffuser, and am researching vitamins and dietary concerns
[01:40:02] * Bytram may have to go to the Drs tomorrow. Looks like I've got a skin infection inside of my right leg, avout 3 inches below the knee.
[01:40:18] <Bytram> earplugs++
[01:40:18] <Bender> karma - earplugs: 1
[01:40:34] <AzumaHazuki> oh no...that's a skin structure infection. get it cleansed with fire (or cefazolin IV...) before it becomes cellulitis
[01:40:57] <Bytram> yeah, I had that before.
[01:42:07] <Bytram> IV vancomycin for 3 days... and then it started spreading. Upped the dose and eventually got over it. Arm looked like an alligator, though.
[01:42:45] <AzumaHazuki> aaaargh
[01:42:50] <Bytram> with fire? You mean like a hot metal brand (think cattle)
[01:43:11] <AzumaHazuki> they actually did that? o_O
[01:43:30] <Bytram> I'm thinking... alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or bleach,
[01:43:43] <Bytram> No, I was asking what you meant by "with fire"
[01:45:05] * Bytram has been taking 2000 mg Vitamin C
[01:45:27] <Bytram> which reminds me. time for today's dose.
[01:45:32] <Bytram> biab
[01:51:55] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: back
[01:53:07] <AzumaHazuki> i should start taking vitamins again...am getting run down
[01:53:29] <AzumaHazuki> though, today i made some really good if amateurish curry, a matar paneer. it needs tweaking but it's 90% "there"
[01:53:44] * Bytram gets our his windup key
[01:55:28] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: so, given a choice,what would you recommend I use to clean the infection? About 4x6 mm. Rubbing alcohol? Hydrogen peroxide? Bleach?
[01:57:44] <AzumaHazuki> no recommendation because this is not my field and i can have no professional opinion on it. please get it seen ASAP by someone competeny
[01:57:48] <AzumaHazuki> competent* even
[01:59:25] <Bytram> yep, going to the doc tomorrow. Doors open at 8 AM. Plan to be there early
[02:00:19] <Bytram> and, I appreciate the disclaimer and candor. Never hurts to ask, yanno?
[02:00:34] <AzumaHazuki> i'm sorry i don't have anything to offer, but from a professional and ethical standpoint advising anything would be the wrong thing to do
[02:00:49] <Bytram> yuppers. np!
[02:01:00] <AzumaHazuki> all i can do is wish you good luck ;-;
[02:01:00] <Bytram> I prolly shouldn't have asked.
[02:01:09] <Bytram> TYVM!
[02:01:30] <Bytram> and best of luck to you on the job oppoortunity!

[18:42:16] <chromas> but also so does nasa
[18:44:04] <chromas> on the rusty moon story, cnet points to the same nasa article multiple times, which doesn't point to the study it talks about

[18:50:06] <chromas> I was thinking about replacing the cnet content with the jpl article since it's longer and it's a bot sub. opinion?
[18:50:38] <carny> sounds good to me
[18:50:48] <Bytram> go for it; I have no qualms of replacing bot sub stuff when I can go to the original sub, instead.

[19:07:06] <Bytram> chromas: fwiw, I've found that trying to trim a long article is really hard -- there's too much I want to keep. But if I can get a good first stab at it, someone else can look at what I've done, and find something else that can be removed. Ask for help in the Editor Notes, and here, too.

Not so certain about JPL, but they are at least primarily funded by taxpayer grants. So ISTM we should be in good shape. Besides you DID chop a big hunk off the original, too.
