What's everyone doing while viewing A.Org today?

[Piru]

Relaxing mostly and recovering from an operation (I had one wisdom teeth extracted couple of days ago, it didn't go smoothy).

Watching the gf play Civ 5.

Oh also installed HDD to the optical drive bay of one my MacBook Pros (OS boots from the 120GB SSD). Bought two of those conversion kits from HK, will also convert the work MBP later on.

Ouch. It can be a tricky procedure, IIRC there's a facial nerve which runs very close to the jaw at the point where they have to operate.

Problem for me was that I had an existing infection that caused considerable extra pain. Additionally the local anesthetic had little effect on me (it has worked before so it was somewhat puzzling), and the surgeon had to inject me 8 times (2-3 being the typical dosage and 11 being the absolute safety limit). It still was extremely painful.

In the UK, it's common for dental pain to induce secondary financial pain :/ A few years ago I had to have root canal and a crown due to chipping a tooth and not noticing (was the rear face) until it got infected. I can't complain about the quality of the work, but it sure wasn't cheap.

I could have gone through the public heath care system but I can easily afford the private sector these days. It wasn't cheap for sure, but at least I didn't have to wait for ages.
