RE: The Work Thread
@too-old-for-this Thankfully I do not have to ask for any of that. If I am informed the person I am looking for died, I hand the case off to someone else who handles it.

RE: The Work Thread
I work for public health insurance. I have a lot of cases with older people, some of whom do not speak English. No big, we have Lionbridge we can use.
But when I call, I get the son/daughter/whomever, and they're like "Well, I'm so and so." ... I'm like "Well, that's great, but I asked for X." ...but I can't say that. But I have to speak to the person I asked for, it's fucking HIPAA. But these chuckleheads - they will fight you on this, and it's so fucking annoying. They will insist "Well, I handle everything for them." Sure, you might, but the fact remains, I need their permission to speak to you about their case, unless you go through the paperwork, and get put ON FILE that you're an Authorized Rep (which they never do).
Just... UGH.

RE: The Work Thread
I so need new job start date. But at the same time, I need a new chair so I can sit at my desk for more than an hour at a time, so trying to save.
Can't I just win the lotto?

RE: The Work Thread
I am so.. so done.
I want to explode.
"Well, I don't see that you did anything on Friday morning, so I am going to reject your time sheet." ... you..are aware I did all my tasks before lunch, which take all morning. Right?"Sarah says you clocked out Thursday at 8:52." Well, that's funny, because I didn't talk to Sarah, and I didn't tell my team lead I was sick and leaving until at least 8:55. So unless Sarah can tell the future - she's a lying bitch.
They're rejecting my time sheet on some made up timeline. I'm so over it. If I had a sure fire way to earn money until my new job started, I would table flip.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
@mietze The problem there lies with the ankylosing spondylitis. If there are stairs involved, that's a nope.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
Okay. So I am trying to make money outside of my current (shitty) job and side hustle. I need to get a new work/battlestation set up, with the new job and all.
-I can not donate Plasma.
-I can not online teach Chinese kids English (all the reputable sites require more degree/certs than I have)The only even MILDLY workable option would be OnlyFans. Which -while valid and all, I'm a little too inhibited to think I'd be any good at. I know, you don't have to show your face.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
@PuppyBreath @Derp is right. My boy is an ESA. I got a letter from my therapist, though if you don't have one currently, there are services where you can take a test and a licensed mental health pro will do it.

@puppybreath I don't know where you live, but if it's anywhere even close to me, I will foster a fuzzbutt.

ABC, Yahoo, etc. It's not just TMZ now.
I am so sad. She only had 17 more days to be 100.

@vixanic A friend of mine actually had told me if Adderall doesn't work, I should ask about Vyvanse. I even wrote it down (She made me. Means srs bsnss).

RE: The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves)
@tributary Oh, I planned on taking it, like clockwork (yay for having to take meds already at those times of day).
But I just want to know from those in the trenches and front lines...and not from a Dr who has never had this issue. -
RE: The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves)
@tributary Yeah, I feel... nothing.

RE: The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves)
The adderall is here! First dose taken. So... uh, anyone who has taken this sort of thing - how long until you notice a difference?

RE: Did you get diagnosed with...
I spoke to my therapist about it, and explained how it's been affecting me at work. He sent me to a behavioral health doctor, and apparently just sitting and talking about my medical history with her for 15 minutes was enough to convince her. (Hello, stimming)

RE: Dead Celebrities 2021 Edition
@greenflashlight I mean, it has Reeves, Hackman, Favreau , Jones, and Madden. I love all of them. I came to love David Denman, because of that movie, so..
