Pretty much that... I got to try to sleep through kids yelling, screaming, crying, stomping, and all kinds of other stupid shit. I hate them... They're spoiled stupid shits.

Mmmm, tasty ironing.

I got sick last night so I had to skip out on the party and I'm still sick today, my car's battery was dead this morning, my phone died during an update last night and I spent 4 hours today running around to different Sprint stores, only to end up without a phone for the next 4 days (at least) because they can't fix it, I have a hell project coming up at work on Monday and the guy who was going to be leading it will be out for a while, so I'm in charge of it now, I just found out last night that my best friend is moving across the country, and that a girl I've been interested in/doing things with for a while is now taken.

2010 can suck my ass.

Were they conscious? Breathing? Warm?

All of the above, and rather cute too. AND I have pics!!!!

But I can't share since they are my niece and her friends. And I wasn't actually IN the hot tub with them, but it makes for a good story :)

Although I can imagine how their parents are going to react.
mom 'what did you do on New Years Eve?'
Daughter "Katie's uncle took pictures of us in the basement'

Went to a party until 1:30am, stomach was NOT happy today. Beer and vodka mixed may not have been a good idea. Serious time in the bathroom this afternoon.

:eek:

Damn.

The real question is, though..Did he make it to 12:00:00.01, or not? :p

Medics transported, but I heard when I got to work that he had died...not sure on time. Hospital has been known to work patients for hours before calling it.

Hours.. Really? That's interesting. I would be interested to know the survival rate after periods of time.

I mean, have they actually ever revived anyone after an hour or two? That would be crazy.

Edit: I meant at your hospital. I've heard of people being brought back to life after long periods of time, but I think it's pretty exceptionally rare?

I've never heard of people being brought back after that long, but then again I am not in the medical profession. I think it all depends on the results they are getting from the drugs and treatment they administer...they could get a normal heart rhythm for several minutes, start to stabilize and then it might all go to shit again. I would consider that one continuous effort of attempting to bring someone back. I can't imagine the brain and heart liking it too much in the end, but the human body can survive amazing things. This was this gentlemens 4th trip in 5 weeks where his heart had stopped, so he has been brought back before. Who knows.

It seems like most commercial businesses did not treat today like a holiday. Many places were open when they normally arent on holidays. And others were running their normal hours instead of their holiday hours.

I feel your pain -- I just replaced 2 blown tires yesterday...
~$380 in tires from Tire Rack + $20 to install them (tip included) = $400 lost for no reason. :(

Construction on I87 here in the Bronx. They shifted lanes onto the shoulder, where a sewer drain had broken.

I slammed right into it. No room to move the car over to avoid it lol. First time in 3 years a pothole versus me won.
