In Which Today I Am Indirectly in the Wall Street Journal and Fortune Magazine


WSJ:Here’s my shout out in the Wall Street Journal: The maker of the clinical trial drug I’ve been testing (FTY720) is going to file for FDA approval. I think it takes 6 months to a year for the FDA to do the final evaluation and interviews and make the decision. And supposedly during that time the maker stocks up on drugs that are soon the be approved. I’m supposed to be on the Extension Phase for the rest of 2010, and then I go off it when/if the drug gets approved. FDA, hear me now, even Satan’s Yeast Infection is worth it for this drug. An extra 30% chance of winning on my lottery ticket? Yes. Here’s hoping that I have to pay for this stuff with everyone else before the end of the year.

Fortune Magazine:Teddy J was again listed as being a damn good place to work by Fortune magazine. They did not mention the Starbucks in the cafeteria or the frequent free food or the way they get the old group of friends back together. I got a visit from Friend #2 today, she and #4 will be moving in to the same building with #3 and I next month.

Damn, gotta go to bed, gotta be downtown at 8 so I can get two more tests to help progress the drug toward FDA Approval.

Hours Later: I was wondering why I couldn’t get to sleep, and I realized: someone might look at the juxtaposition of my two journalistic shoutouts and think I was making a stock suggestion. I am so NOT doing that. I write training. I don’t give stock market advice. I am sure if I looked it up there’s some fancy disclaimer I could use.

  1. Better than Satan’s Clogged Labia? Nah, then the bad would have to put out solid color albums to placate the PMRC – never mind.It was awesome to see The Queen and Friend #3 yesterday. I miss them.

  2. You wanna hear what a dumbass I am? I now have to go up to the interstate to drop the baby at the sitter. As I was driving east I was thinking about how it wouldn’t be long until I’d only be commuting to north. Next thing I realized, I was sitting at the light at the bottom of the D_______ exit. So I drove through campus and jumped back on the highway at P____, at which point I realized I’d left my laptop at home. It was THAT kind of morning. Tomorrow I really get to go to north, though. Hope to run into you there!
