Bubonic is one of my favorite words....ever.
A woman in LA was diagnosed with BUBONIC PLAGUE! Here are some highlights from the article:
"This is the first confirmed human case [of Bubonic Plague] in Los Angeles County since 1984." (SINCE 1984? Who the hell gets Bubonic Plague since, like, the 1300s?!)
"..the woman was exposed by fleas in her home and that there was no cause for alarm." (Anytime Bubonics are involved, I think it's cause for alarm.)
"An estimated 10 to 20 Americans contract plague each year' (20 people are getting PLAGUE each year?! WHO ARE THEY? British people from the 1300s? Seriously. Plus, I thought it was only called 'plague' when it was an epidemic. Why am I so confused?)
I didn't have contact with any Bubonics today, so hopefully I'm safe, but hot damn did I have a shitty day. First, I got chastised for wearing a jean jacket to work. No joke. I was already wearing uncomfortable dress pants and uncomfortable dress shoes and I have to get in trouble for wearing a goddamn jean jacket. I felt twelve and also I followed up my boss's comments with "Oh, you mean the jacket? What, I can't wear a jean jacket? What about these pants? Are these pants ok?" (You can decide for yourself whether those comments were a) sarcastic b) made out of concern c) the result of confusion or d) what I really meant was "what the fuck is wrong with you, you stupid whore. get out of my face."
THEN, i went to the mall (which I hate doing, but I had to kill 3 hours) and I walk out of some supermarket and the alarm goes off. So, the security guy follows me because CLEARLY he thinks I stole something and then when he realized I didn't steal shit, he made up this whole thing about how sometimes lotions and things still have the little tag that make the alarm go off. And, when that theory backfired, he made up this other whole thing about how I might have the little tag thing in my jacket even though I've had that jacket for FIVE YEARS and no alarm has ever gone off because of it. Anyway, he let me go and then all I really wanted was to bubonic plague my jacket.
I miss home.
Sadness,
