The horrors
CBP shot someone yesterday in my county. They have offered no information about it, and the person is in critical condition

Schitt!
I loved her on SCTV - that’s where I first saw her and still view her as a comedian

I need groceries. I want to GET groceries. But the only thing that might fix my children is swimming. I would like a quiet walk in groceries

“Your estimated hold time is 25-30 minutes” was what I heard +42 minutes ago.
This is after calling last week and having to hang up because I needed to do other things, trying a form online where they said they’d reach out within 48 hours which resulted in a call but as soon as I answered the call it disconnected or they hung up. All of this to prove I don’t actually have Medicaid coverage so that my health insurance won’t be ended prematurely because they’re not sure if I have Medicaid or not. And I’m not even 100% sure this is the department/representative who can get me what I need.
Edit: 50+ minutes, then a two minute conversation.

Huh. We could believe a whole training class OR we could record everyone pick their nose thinking they are being subtle

This came from three steps above my PM - the commissioners office. I don’t think it was related to the training last week at all

It’s just such a stupid idea. There’s no advantage to it for a company.

We went out for brunch and groceries and I was going to go a bit farther to get cheese from flashfood, but the app wasn’t working, so no cheap cheese for us. And much of it expires today, so it will all go to waste.
Of course it was working by the time we got home, but we aren’t going to go out again to walk to a shop 45 minutes away for cheese.

Because of problems with cooking and needing to find a hot plate or ? (We bought a griddle.) We had Applebee’s for dinner last night. I had lime something chicken which was better than the hamburger thing I had last time we did this…
But it upset my stomach (or something did) to the point where I woke up this morning with a hurting tummy and am still having issues.
Boooo!

The two minute conversation didn’t get me what I needed. I called back today, was warned of a 45-50 minute hold time, got a human after just over an hour, but then they had to put me on hold for a minute but put me in the wrong hold status so I’m back at the beginning of the line. I’m coming up on the two hour mark for just today’s phone call. The hold music isn’t great but it barely plays for more than a few seconds before getting interrupted by the robot lady telling me my call is very important to them, I can use the web portal to do stuff (no I can’t I promise), etc.

I can only imagine the frustration bubbling up inside you.

I’m actually just dead inside at this point. In theory I have to do school pick up at some point but maybe I just stay here on hold forever and this day never ends. Time has stopped.
It’s so bad I stopped playing the video game I had been doing as my treat for being on hold. I’m bored of that game for now.
Edit: Two hours. And. Twenty-eight. Minutes. Just for today’s call. Now hopefully the correct thing shows up in the mail (cause heaven forbid they be able to email something in this the year of our lord 2026).
