I could see that one coming

[torquill]

What's the absolute bestest thing that could happen to me as I'm heading into a Chronic Fatigue crash?

If you guessed "run smack into a short-chain ether exposure", you win. The prize: tremors, panic, brainfog, and that crash I've been managing to avoid up until now.

I've told Rick Bostock twice that the whiteboard cleaner in the lab room is a serious problem. Twice he's said, essentially, "There's not much we can do, because so many people use that lab". Once I'm a little more coherent, I'm going to send him (and Bob, the other prof) email and essentially call bullshit. I claimed MCS as a disability, and although there is no standard accommodation, the Disability Center will back me up on this. I hate to be a pain in the ass, but I'll go talk to the department head if I have to, and if I run into resistance I'll ask Russ from the Disability Center to talk to them.


...argh. I'm sitting down for the moment, but I still have to go to my locker, and somehow I need to get to the train station in an hour. I guess I can try to bike real slow, and hope my balance isn't too shot.

Take care of yourself!

We can move tonight's TV-watching to your place if you're not up to the drive -- it's not a problem, just tell me if you want me to bring dinner.

There must be something the board can be cleaned with that doesn't make you sick. (A sponge?)

My prof asked the same thing, and I told him 50/50 isopropyl alcohol in water is both a) cheaper and b) more effective at cleaning whiteboards, in addition to being safe for me. I have no idea whether he passed that knowledge on.

I'll be bringing a spray bottle of it in on Tuesday.
