The recommendations are SO outdated. I needed a colonoscopy at 31 due to some symptoms, and luckily the procedure was covered under insurance but apparently the prep was not under any circumstances for people below 45? I had to pay for it out of pocket and I was so annoyed. (I couldn’t use the over the counter alternative because it made me throw up when I needed to do a smaller scale prep for a prior surgery.)
Everything was clear, thank goodness, and we figured out the symptoms. But it was the most unpleasant use of $100 I’ve probably ever spent.
Grown men throwing tantrums. Realistically probably most adults throwing tantrums, assuming there isn’t a mitigating factor, but I just came from a rec league (ie recreational league, and we aren’t exactly top of the line recreational players either) softball game in which the pitcher on the other team spent most of the game screaming at his own team, arguing (trying to argue) every call the umps made, pouting when said umps told him to either play or leave, and just generally being an asshole.
I’d tell him to get a hobby, but I’d really prefer that he gets a hobby that doesn’t intersect with mine.
The $ value of the limits of liability for Dwelling Protection and Personal Property Protection went up by a total of 1.8%, and we’ve changed zero other things about our policy. WTF, mate?
TV: I noticed it before I pulled out of my office parking lot so I’m not stranded anywhere. Plus, Dad is on his way with an air compressor to pump it up and drive it to a tire shop for me.
Several of my coworkers keep trying to…do work. Like the actual systems we work on are all linux so Microsoft outages are irrelevant in that respect, but unless you’re physically in a lab on a machine (which basically none of us are courtesy of consolidated datacenters and remote everything) they can only be accessed through Windows hosts, most of the security systems run through Windows hosts, bug tracking is through Windows hosts… If there was something critical going on I could understand the attempted heroics, but at this point it seems like anyone not IT should probably just go away for a while.
