Hilarious. Things have been pretty tame here, the shelves are a little less stacked than usual (mostly eggs and beans seem to be running low) but then two days later it's totally re-stocked. What did you pick up at anyway? Just curious

I like that thing Amoeba does What's In My Bag?

Not everyone's familiar with krs-ones work

My 80 year old lady hands from so much handwashing and cleaning. I'm going through lotion like it's water.

I don't think I could make my hands look that weathered no matter how hard I tried

Got a notice that I will be audited for my CEU (Continuing Education Credits) for my architect's license.....
A big kick in the pants with half of professionals out of work or at risk...........

boooooo. :neutral:

I request a certificate for each continuing education "class" that I attend at the lunch presentations vendors put on....but of course they never send them out, and I am not going to be spending my time tracking some some dumb piece of paper each time.
:dunce:

Well, the professional organization that my old job was paying a bundle each year is supposed to be keeping my records for credits, but they throw them in the trash once they stop getting their extortion money.................

Today, on Facebook meesenger, I was written too by a guy I was at school with (who's now unfriended me boo hoo) who took particular offence to me putting a "laughing face" by one of his posts. This was the post
Moses was sent to awaken Pharaoh's heart
Pharaoh refused to accept any power beyond himself
For many years he had suppressed the Israelites
So God sent him a series of signs and plagues
He continued to show disobedience
God drowned him and his chariots in the end
The Israelites were now free from his despotism
Today we live in a Pharaonic system
It truly has most of mankind in its death grip
It appeals to our lowest traits
It has veiled us from the idea of a Creator
Now our world has altered due to something from the ghayib
He has given us time from our lives to truly reflect on whats important
We were too busy chasing Duniya
It is not in the Sunnah of God to just eradicate a people
He will out of his mercy sent subtle signs
It truly is time to wake up now
We now have a chance to be among the Believers
OK, maybe I was just pissed off with the amount of religious bull shit that comes on to my time line. I don't set out to be a cunt, but for some reason I reacted to this. And today he wrote to me asking

what I offered to the world

What morals I had

How did the Egyptians build pyramids (???)

Yes, we appeared out of nothing

The universe and solar systems and laws of physics just came about by a mere accident

etc...

You get the drift

I find this hilarious even though I'm fucking fuming.

Man, the hits just keep on coming. Today my wife tripped and broke her arm at the elbow while carrying in groceries on one of the plastic “zipper doorways” which close off the kitchen and dining room during restoration. Half the ERs locally are closed so I had to take her to Anaheim and of course they don't let anyone other than the patient inside so I’ve been sitting in my car all night waiting for news. Tomorrow’s her birthday, btw.

+1 for MDMA-induced coma for you and your family.

:wavesad:

My partner has this hobby of having something happen to her about once a year (broken finger, stabbing herself in the hand, mild stroke, etc.) and I feel like if something medically serious happens to her now, (aside from obviously doing everything that needs to be done so she is well) I’d be pissed off as fuck. Like... “really?? couldn’t find a better time to smash your own face with a pan and lose seven teeth?”

So sorry to hear this news, Panda. It's awful that your wife has to be alone and that you have to be alone in your car not knowing what's going on in the hospital. :gh:

The 27th was a long night. It turned out to be not quite as bad as it first appeared, she did suffer a break at her elbow but the specialist that saw her today took off the fiberglass cast and said her specific break shouldn’t be immobilized because it would heal and greatly limit her range of motion going forward.

I learned a lot of interesting things from that episode talking with a few hospital employees....

They (Kaiser) has shuttered many of their smaller offices and hospitals (I had to take her to a hospital much further away then the one near us which is closed to non-Civid cases) not because of Covid infections but because they drastically downsized their workforce the past month. This is primarily because they are losing a lot of money not doing the majority of regular office visits, lab work, elective and even some needed surgeries and procedures due to fed/state decree that all medical resources must be focused on Covid-care. Thus, a lot of regular doctors and other medical staff that aren't respiratory/covid specialized have no work and have been furloughed. Network pharmacies have been consolidated to key facilities that remain open in whatever capacity to enable fully closing other facilities. The admitting guy who was standing around outside screening incoming patients said he was lucky to still be working and surmised that it was likely some hospitals will be permanently shuttered once the dust settles to save money going forward.

Hospitals are counting and reporting anyone that remotely falls into the Covid category regardless of test results because the Feds are reimbursing for Covid treatment cases. So for example, someone comes in to an ER with flu-like symptoms serious enough for admittance, they're counted and reported as Covid patients before any test results come back which is usually at least a few days at this point.

Alarmingly, the quality of "protection" for patients at least at this place was wildly inconsistent. According to my wife, while there was only 6 people in the ER waiting area when I brought her in, at least one had a fever and severe cough - no separation, just "social distancing" and face masks. The hospital was *very* understaffed even for the small number of patients at the time. The person that set her arm and did the cast was woefully under qualified and even incorrectly noted it was her wrist that was broken in the report. When she was released, they just "let her walk out," no escort, nothing to make sure she had a ride. She just texted me saying she was outside the ER exit (I was in the other parking lot). When I had to get her prescription, I was able to walk in (had to wear a mask at least) to the 24 hour pharmacy on the other side of the same building.

I think at least in the Kaiser healthcare network and apparently a lot of other "group" health networks nationwide, have really handled the non-Covid aspect of this very poorly mainly due to looking at their bottom line - $$$$.
