I got the results of my MRI back. I was asked: "Do you want the good news or the bad news?"

I said: "Give me the good news last so it ends on a positive note."

I was told: "Well... the bad news is that you have four vertebrae out. Two in your upper neck and two in your lower back. The good news is that we can prove that you're injured. I'm not saying that YOU are doing this but sometimes people might exaggerate the pain."

I was also told that I would be more susceptible to back and neck pain in the future.

I think I'll get one of those lean back chairs from WALLe.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

What if we find you to be a pain in the neck right now?  :P

Seriously though, what does having vertebrae "out" mean? Out of alignment or some such? Also, is there anything that can be done about it like further therapy?

=)

That's a good question. I took it to mean that I have less of a margin for pain than before. eg. Other people can have their vertebrae out this much before they feel pain. Since yours is already out, you have less to work with and since you're approaching it your feeling pain.

I'm going to see him tomorrow to ask some more.

Promotion? I wish... I got like seven more months before I go before the board to become a Sergeant. Plus, that whole handshake was for re enlisting and extending my term of service.

And why shouldn't be happy. I have friends who support me despite life being hard and harsh out here. So yes, I savor every moment.

Again, thanks one and all for the morale booster.

Obviously you need an agent.

*for the agent, I mean, not for Iraq*

It's really great that you have that attitude. It makes me wish I had signed up when I was thinking about it back in the day.

Thank you once again for your continued service to the country.  :)

I'm getting married! It's such an expensive business and so horribly stressful.  It'll be worth it all though.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
