Incepting a New Post

At work, we're doing some training on a new ticketing system, so my time's been a little scarce. Should be done now, thankfully. The guy doing the training seems to have really enjoyed Christopher Nolan's 'Inception' movie, because every time he talks about starting a ticket, instead of using the words 'start', 'create', or 'begin', he invariably says 'incept'. This usage is accurate, but pompous-sounding and kind of obnoxious the 6th or 7th time. Word variety is your friend.

My hideous bug-bite welts from the 4th are beginning to relent, under my planned assault that includes two kinds of anti-itch cream, and Benadryl before bedtime. The two that looked liked puffy port-wine stains on my leg have started to break up into a more mottled appearance, which is good.

My current theory on my neck pain is that I am clenching my teeth in my sleep, resulting in TMJD. (Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder) I am hoping it will pass like it did last time.

Lastly, I think I may try to do some MST3K mini-marathons with people I know locally. It's time I put my TV and my MST collection to good use. Now I need to think of some themes for the mini-marathons.
