It’s The Same Thing!
Over the Fourth of July Weekend, for the second time in my life I got a migraine. I can handle a headache like a trooper, but throbbing head jolts and sensitivity to light is a whole different story. I swung by the nearest Walgreens frantically looking for medicine. If there’s one thing I’m OCD about, it’s reading labels. Maybe it’s the skepticism that the fundamentals of marketing have taught me, but I always get a kick out of doing it – even when my head is pounding and I’m wearing sunglasses indoors to keep the bright lights to a minimum. I scanned the shelf to see if there was anything specifically for migraines, which surprisingly there weren’t many and immediately grabbed the first thing I saw, Advil Migraine. I was truly hoping that the box of Advil Migraine had something magical or special in it, but to my disappointment, it did not. It was exactly the same as Advil Liqui-Gels. Same dosage, same ingredients, same price, same everything. The only difference was the color of the liquid gels and the packaging. Boo! I ended up purchasing the the regular Advil Liqui-Gels over the Advil Migraine for one single reason – the color. The cool, icy blue felt like a better choice than the orangy-brown one.
Lesson learned: Always read the labels and be aware of what you’re really buying (and paying for).
Oh, before I forget, the Advil Liqui-Gels went away soon after I took the recommended dose. =D
My Monday Chuckle
Normally, my Mondays are less than entertaining. It usually consists of weekly planning and prioritizing, catching up on emails, wearing glasses (not contacts) and an afternoon cup of joe. However, today was different. As I was perusing my usual nerd blogs that I follow, I saw a post about how Rackspace’s servers went down. I didn’t really react because things like that happen once in a while, but this caught my eye:
Yep. That is what you think it is. Justin Timberlake made a sarcastic comment about Rackspace’s servers going down on TWITTER. It’s quite possibly one of the nerdiest things he’s done. It’s almost as though he’s actually a nerd? No, no, can’t be (but a girl can wish). Maybe I don’t give mainstream celebrities enough credit, but I’m surprised and impressed that Mister JT knew what a hosting company was. It just doesn’t seem like his thing, you know? Nonetheless, this whole incidence trivial incidence has made JT several notches cooler in my book.
When Rackspace’s servers were back up and running, he followed up his last tweet with this:
I <3 JT!
