Meta meeting shenanigans

selenayPro tip: if you need to spend half a meeting discussing who should be in the meeting, you’re not just doing it wrong you’re also creating a hole in the fabric of space-time. I think that was a meta-meeting.
I'm starting to think that books need to come with warnings the way that fic does. This is the third book in a row that has featured zombies in some format and only one of them was a deliberate zombie-oriented choice. The other two contained surprise!zombies. I'm not really into the zombie thing and I like to know that I'm going to get zombies so that I can make a choice about whether to read the book.
Damn zombies, popping up in books unexpectedly and giving me nightmares.
My next book choice is going to be non-Hugo, some kind of silly fluffy YA with nary a hint of sci-fi or fantasy so that I can guarantee a zombie-free read.
My cousin has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in his spine. Our family is riddled with autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately he has no drug plan so some of the really good yet expensive drugs (like my Humira, which is also used for RA) are way outside his budget. The docs have got him on NSAIDs and are debating the next step. It sucks. Considering how bad his spine is right now, it looks likely that he'll end up on disability within the next decade.
Can we all just agree that immune systems are ridiculous?
This week's tally on hold at the library so far is four books (two Fables, an Avengers and an X-Men) and I have three to return. There are two more in transit that will hopefully arrive by tomorrow. The good thing about Mum visiting: she's become my library mule :-)
I am becoming convinced that the universe is messing with me and laughing at me on work stuff. The WTF levels this week are through the roof. I took revenge on my day (business analysts are never allowed to name files!) by eating pizza (it was for charity!) and reading fanfic on my iPad at lunch. My colleagues should all feel grateful that AO3 exists to calm me down after navigating the nightmares of today.
I sense another angry workout tonight. My poor exercise bike.
