The novocaine wore off.
Jun. 17th, 2003 12:10 pmThank you for your understanding.
Eating lunch was absolute hell. I managed to finagle eight stronger-than-ibuprofens out of my dentist. They're called vicodan and I picked up from the pharmacist down the street. Whatever they are, they work and they haven't made me loopy yet. My tongue is still numb-- oddly, it's the only thing that is-- and my jaw is pulsating with a disturbing rhythm.
My boss told me to go home as it was obvious that I wasn't going to get much done. But after taking all the pills, y'know, I feel better. If this paragraph is coherent, I might be functional enough to get some work done.

But of course, you won't. Witness the following conversation:
Elf: I'll be heading out to get my tooth out. I told my boss not to expect me in today.
Omaha: Oh, so you'll be going into work, then.
Elf: I don't know, it depends on how I feel after the tooth is pulled.
Omaha: Oh, so you'll be going into work, then.
Elf: If the drugs wear off, then I might head home.
Omaha: Oh, so you'll be going into work, then.
Elf: I'm not that bad!
Omaha: Elf, if you hallucinated God, Jesus, and Mohammad all having a conversation and asking you to join them, you'd still go to work!
