I would much rather *do* something (produce something) than watch and manage other people doing it. And any job which involves spending a large part of each day in meetings with other people would be my idea of hell: my definition of a meeting is a means of getting more work dumped on me after the meeting than I had before it, but then "imprisoning" me in the meeting room while everyone else waffles on, preventing me from actually working on that increased workload. I'm very much a details person: I would rather get on and make *something* (even if that something is the wrong thing) than spend all day discussing what the right thing is to do without actually making anything (even the wrong thing). I find it very hard to stand back and take an overall "helicopter view", mainly because doing so bores me rigid: I'm itching to get into the details. |

You'll spend a year or more talking about what you're going to do before doing something. When you finally get around to doing it, if you discover problems you're going to to what was decided anyway because of all the ego involvement. That process brought us the F-35, Zumwalt, and the matched pair of LCS turkeys. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidax...terms-with-it/ I quit after 6 months of meetings and thumb twiddling and move on to a real project. |

Not every thing can be in tablet form. Exactly: if it gets destroyed by the stomach acid or doesn't get absorbed through the stomach or small intestine, then there's no point in giving it orally (by mouth). I have no problem with injections and can barely feel the "sharp scratch". Giving blood (as a donor or for a blood test) is more of a problem because my veins seem to be either very deep or very fine: sometimes the nurse has to try a couple of times in different arms to manage to get the tip of the needle *inside* the vein rather than into the wall - and that's a comment on my veins, not their skill. The exception was a qualified blood donor doctor who attempted to insert the canula for me to give my pint (very nearly an armful) and caused me a lot of pain with her fumbling; eventually a nurse tactfully suggested the doctor needed to attend to another patient, and the nurse got the needle into a vein quickly and painlessly. Put me off doctors who looked like Rosa Klebb, but not off being a blood donor ;-) |

I say "usually pain free" because there was a certain shot that didn't fit that category. I don't recall what the shot was for, but it was nicked named the "water fountain shot". We'd stand in line, waiting to enter the room where the shot was given. About 10' outside the door of the room there was a water fountain built into the wall. Service members would enter the room, get the shot, feel no pain and walk out just like they walked in - until right about when they passed the water fountain on the way out. That's when you'd see people suddenly suddenly clutching their arm and hear something like "Holy sh*t!" or "Damn! That f'ing hurts!" Even the toughest guys that would never admit to being in pain would sort of visibly tighten up or change their gait just enough that you could tell that the pain had started. The pain usually lasted about 24 hours, during which time, of course, the drill instructors would make sure that all activities included copious use of the painful arm. |

I say jabbed (or jagged) because it's a horrid thing to have done to you. I ain't getting a piece of steel shoved into my insides. You want something inside me, give me a tablet. Not every thing can be in tablet form. We're in the 21st century, come on.... The century doesn't change basic chemistry/biology. Elderly - makes me grind my teeth. Why not just say "old"? Indeed. It used to be worse. "My elder brother". The word elder always makes me think of a tree. How strange. I think of elder as a Church of Scotland 'rank'. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/tre...h-trees/elder/ I'm an athiest so would have no reason to know about church ranks. Just noticed that the stupid anglicans have a Most Reverend rank. Tha Aussies call their parents "olds" which is amusing. My younger daughter calls us "groans" That may also be descriptive. |

Maybe Peter would like it in suppository form? Now that *would* be painful to inject by needle ;-) I meant to add to my earlier comment that while I hardly felt the injection, the site of the injection felt bruised and tender for a couple of day afterwards. Conventional flu jabs sometimes affect me like that as well. But a very small price to pay for knowing that I'm better (not necessarily completely) protected. From something most of us will never get or never get symptoms of. That's bull****. |

Yes, there is a great deal of difference between the normal intra-muscular injection (upper arm, buttocks etc) and an intra-venous injection (*) or withdrawal of a blood sample. I've never tried either, but I imagine the second take a *lot* more skill and practice. (*) I don't think I've ever had one, but I imagine they are used to get a drug into the bloodstream as fast as possible. |

I've never tried either, I have a blood sample most years as part of the regular checkup. but I imagine the second take a *lot* more skill and practice. Yeah, particularly with those with difficult veins. Mine are very difficult inside my elbows, non straight and hard to get a needle into according to one of those who appears to know what she is doing. Some do get it first time every time but few manage that and we don't see the same one that often so it isnt clear how often the first time success is just luck. One did claim that its skill and I usually say I am hard to get a blood sample from every time they need to get one. (*) I don't think I've ever had one, but I imagine they are used to get a drug into the bloodstream as fast as possible. Yeah, I have a couple of times have had them put a canella in the back of my hand in case they needed to use it for that, but no one has ever actually needed to use it. One time he actually managed to do it without me actually noticing while asking me some questions. I was amazed and said that he was brilliant. He just grinned and appeared to realise that he did that deliberately. |

Apparently not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccin...administration I did wonder when writing that, rebreeding some mention that the covid vaccinations are intramuscular but didnt actually check. It appears that the distinction is between intramuscular and subcutaneous etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramuscular_injection |
