I once worked about 15 or 16 days straight. But I was 20 or 21 and could stay up all night and go to work the next day and not even bat an eye.

I forgot.

Nobodies fault but mine. Love me for the money.

I used to be the same, I'd do every bit of overtime I could, do 50 or 60 hours a week at the railway and any time I had off I'd work at a dairy. The I got lymphoma at 38 and realised there were things I'd rather do. Fortunately the railway and state government were worried I had a case to sue them so offered me a good payout to keep quiet. Then I surprised everyone by not dying so they've been stuck paying me for doing nothing longer than they anticipated.

I'm having a White Rabbit, white ale. It's OK but I won't bother getting it again.

Ares's was low, and so was his pulse last time they took it, but no one seemed to give a ****.
What number do you note as low. Drugs can affect BP as well.
120/80 is normal
That's nominal.
How high is a problem? How low is a problem?
Typically 140 systolic and 90 diastolic aka 140/90 is too high. I was over 200 one night and was advised to go to the ER because that's in the "you could die" zone.

Systolic below 100 is too low typically but some people are low and they're fine. I was getting close to 100 and my cardiologist cut one BP med in half to bring it up to typically in the 110 range.

I don't remember what the number was, just that the nurse got fairly concerned, and said it was "very low", and noted his pulse was a bit low, too.

The psychiatrist was unconcerned.

One of his meds they use for sleep/impulse control is a blood pressure med. While it aids in getting him to sleep, if he takes it during the day, his blood pressure drops, and he kind of loses it, not knowing what he's doing or saying. I wish they'd find a different one.

Almost, a little over an hour to go now.

We've been a bit busy, done for a while now, time for second coffee

That's like having an upper management job. Lots of money for getting others to do all the work.

I should have gotten into politics. Lots of money and you get power too. Best of all, you don't really need to know much and can lie about what you don't.

Seen a lot of that last bit in my 30 years working in government
