Just when you thought the popularity of Wall Street bankers had hit rock bottom, top US financial institutions have caused uproar for allegedly muscling their way to the front of the queue to get hold of scarce swine flu vaccines.
Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley were among the first employers in New York to receive shipments of the widely sought after H1N1 antidote from public health authorities this week, prompting furious attacks from political critics who claim bankers are getting privileged treatment.
I am pretty much over whatever horrible throat illness I had come down with but I still got a bit of mucus and for some reason I've been really sleepy the past few days. I've been going to bed early but still waking up tired. I am a person that hates taking naps and I have taken a nap every day this week.
Our school surprisingly didn't close when five students caught the swine flu. When a teacher caught it we were still not shut down even though many students have now dropped out. Now almost every teacher is sick with something. One teacher was out with swine-flu-like symptoms for a few days (she didn't get the H1N1 test because it's too expensive) and yesterday two teachers were sent home because they had fevers. I was miserable yesterday too but I couldn't go home because there would be nobody to cover my classes.
Our director's solution is to require everyone to teach with those stupid masks. The masks make us breathe in our own carbon dioxide and made our face really hot. I couldn't wear my glasses because every time I breathe they steam up. So then I was straining my eyes to see. The mask gave me such a headache.
If the school closes for just a couple of days, we could recover.

Come on now, we all know money is the filthiest of things and is a courier for all kinds of germs. They have to protect themselves while they swim through their Scrooge McDuck piles of money.
To be fair to her, at least a little bit, she's being manipulated and used, but she's also stupid enough to go for it and is milking the hell out of it.
Stephen Novella, as the article linked, showed that even not considering the method of "treatment" she's received, the rate of recovery almost certainly indicates that it is a psychogenic disorder.
Aw shit, my throat is sore, I've got chills and I'm achey all over. This had better not be the fucking swine flu, I've got too many essays due in the next week to be dealing with that shit
It was like an hour and twenty minutes to get into the room with the vaccines, then a few minutes getting the forms filled out and then I had to get the shot
then the 15 minutes.
Also what province are you in Waffle?
my dad was telling me about the few times he has been up to northern reserves and it sounds pretty fucking bleak

Quebec, its the one that just happens to be a few miles from a major metropolitan center.
And yeah. Lots of them are pretty much 3rd world countries.
I got vaccinated in like twenty minutes- there were more people directing where to go than people getting the shot. It was only for people up to like 24 but still.

This reminds me of the Calgary Flames jumping the line to get their shots.
Scapegoats were fired after much yelling by the public.

Wall Street bankers at front of queue for scarce swine flu vaccine
My solution? Less smoking of the reefer and more vitamin C. It might work.
Good policy.
My solution is apples. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm still fucking tired as hell...

I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
see that's the kind of thing people need to do for this. expect a wait, bring a book.
That's my plan, for when non-priority slots open up locally.
EDIT: Back now. I have to go back in 3 weeks for another one, since the one I got today only gave me 60% immunity.
EDIT2: And now I'm coughing.
Spambots are getting weird these days
