Two Things
Jul. 26th, 2013 08:28 pmI'm reading, or rather listening to the audiobook for, "Debt: The First 5000 Years". It's as much about behavioural economics as it is about finance - it's fascinating!!! Highly recommended.
Audible tends to put these stupid little announcements at the end of audiobook segments: "This audiobook has been broken into multiple parts to make the download faster. You have reached the end of a part, but not the end of the book." And some message about fetching the next bit. Breaking a file into multiple smaller parts does NOT make the download faster of course, but it does shorten the time between when you start downloading the first bit and when you finish downloading the first bit and start listening to it, so there is an illusion of it being faster. But every time I hear that bloody announcement there's a little demon in my head shouting "NO IT DOESN'T! YOU LIE!"
I'm booked to be at the hospital Monday/Wednesday/Friday for the next 4 weeks for saline infusions. You can all imagine how utterly exhausted this will probably make me - I've pretty much cancelled everything else in m5y life for those four weeks. If the infusions help me to feel better, we'll jump over the epic amounts of paperwork and bureaucracy needed to have it done at home, but since the paperwork is renound for it's epicness I agreed to 4 weeks of it at the Alfred infusion centre first. I have no idea whether it'll help, but it has helped others with dysautonomia in the past so there's a hope ... cross your fingers and toes for me.
