I'm dying apparently...

But then, we're all dying from the moment we're born, so that's okay then.

krfsm gave us this handy guide to what ails us:

You have Necrotizing Fasciitis How you get it: Contact between bacteria and abrasion or laceration in the skin Incubation period: 24 hours Early symptoms: Redness around skin abrasion, deep tissue soreness, diarrhea, nausea, fever, confusion, dizziness, weakness, and general malaise Symptoms at full disease onset: Black blisters form in the skin and spread quickly. Within hours the blisters begin to appear on other parts of the body and eventually burst and ooze black fluid. Final outcome of this horrible disease: Rapid degeneration of the body under the effects of the toxins released by the bacteria, causing severe nausea, deep tissue pain, unconsciousness, death. There is nothing you can do now but wait for death to arrive and hope it comes quickly. Make your peace. get your own internet diagnosis

My Avaya sales rep. apparently doesn't want my money as he never bothered to send me a quote for the parts I requested. I realize it's not the money we threw at them for the switch and the phones almost a year ago now, but goddamnit, I still need this. I'm telling you, every fucking asshole who works for a telco is going up against the goddamned wall come The Day.
