Who do you think it was switched IandIbrun's smoking supplies and then
gave 'im the jolt with the med daemon?
Somebody had to take control of the billing and pr for St Poly's Health
System. These records are a mess. I mean, really. A shoebox is fine for
*most* things but tracking the maintenance on a metamediphorically powered
NewClear Healthbot is not one of those things. Of course the non-existant
overhead is in our favor here and I expect that St Poly's will turn a
tidy balanced budget for the next few quarters. After all, you can only
get out what you put into it.
Besides, it made it easy for me to get the access codes to the Healthbot's
treatment protocols and add my own patterns as its default. I was away
from the cave when Eyebrown tripped the switch but caught it all on the
instant replay. Very amusing.
To eyebrown: What the matter? Settings too high for yah? Just a little
dose of what it's like to be me. Right now I'm drinking beer, smoking a
bowl, drinking eg, labeling disks, reading Sterling, playing backgammon
and writing this post while convincing myself I'm asleep and thinking
about having to be up at 5 in the morning.
Keep a place at the card table for me, guys. I got 12 hour days filled with
mortgage documentation to look forward to for the next few weeks.
