Yeah, and I basically answer my own question in my post.

it's not my money that I'm spending

My time saved is well worth the cost, especially since it's not my money I'm spending. Rubes like me spend the dollars, so they might as well get what they can.

Well its never prudent to waste money unless you reeeeeally hate your boss and company. If you cant afford to print them yourself for lack of any one of money, time, ink, whatever else, it works to let them do it for you

Printing something like brochures, where you are dealing with glossy stock, two sided, and want vivid colors is also a pain in the ass at home, especially when you do it infrequently and want high quality.

Back to the random crap that isnt worth a thread stuff:

I have bad case of viral pharyngitis with a separate mild flu, first time I have been actually sick in a long ass time.. And it sucks. Feels like Im swallowing glass. The campus doctor literally told me not to go to class and he'd contact the professors of the 2 classes I had today. He said he could in good conscience write me a note to keep me out of class for my sake and my classmates for the rest of the week, and I fucking declined that offer. I was trying to be a good student and not miss class while forgetting, in my sickened state, that professors have to give exact copies of notes to any student on medical leave. I now have to go into a lab tomorrow feeling like death.

I'd also give my left nut to have a vicodin or something about now because tylenol does not cut it for this bad of a case. But I dont want to ask for vicodin for a sore throat and cough cuz there is no way to justify that. And I'm on enough medicine to put down a bull elephant but for some reason it just makes me incredibly talkative and my last 2 attempts to nap have amounted to naught. Everything I type ends up looking like it needs to be stamped with a giant red tl;dr

Definitely wont argue that. My experience with printing covers everything up to printing 2 sided color copies on plain copy paper. Anything more complicated and I'd hand it off to kinkos or the like

Anyone got any effective ways to ease the pain of a severe sore throat? The back of my throat looks like raw hamburger and its fucking ridiculously painful every time I cough. I tried holding it in but thats just as bad

when I've had a bad one before, I've tried grinding asprin and mixing that with some sort of drink mix, then drinking the mix.
I don't know if the effect was real or imagined, but it helped.

ed: also, if you dont' take them a lot, you're safe enough to double up on recommended doses of tylenol or ibuprofin. my doc told me that an 800mg does of ibuprofin is fine (4 regular tabs)

Couldn't hurt. Placebo effect is fine with me as long as it dulls the pain a bit

I've gone that route so far, 4 of the 500mg extra strength tylenol. Seeing as ibuprofen is technically a different chemical I think I should be able to take an extra dose of that and be fine

the biggest risk with painkillers is usually damage to your liver. if you're not a huge drinker and don't take them often, you can really slam them down without hurting yourself.

Yeah I was thinking about that. I rarely take them, maybe once or twice a month for a headache. I drink on holidays and thats about it, hoping I should be good. I crushed up a couple ibuprofen in a cup of tea, and it seems to be working already. Did it act that fast for you?

yup, if I remember right, it happened quickly. it might just be that crushing it gets it into your system a lot faster, too. you don't have to wait for your stomach to break it down

Be careful with crushing up tablets and such. They are designed to dissolve and release medication at a certain rate. You crush them up and expose exponentially more surface area to dissolve. Think of it like shots of alcohol. You can handle a lot more over time than you can handle in a single dose.

I make a double dose Neo Citron and drink a shot of whiskey

wake up 8 hours later good to go

true, but for the reasons explained above, it's not that big an issue with otc meds, unless you're really cramming a lot of them down.
crushing 2 or 3 will not be harmful unless maybe the person already has liver issues

Thats kind of being a dick because now you will potentially get other people sick by going to class. Theres a good reason for staying home when you are a sick and its not because you feel bad.
