Imagine if you Tarantino'd it. :lol

I've only seen one Tarantino movie, and that was over 15 years ago, so I wouldn't be much use on that. :lol

Next up should be the JJ Abrams version, and I'll just lens flare the hell out of it.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

That's technical speak. Probably too technical for you. :blob:

Also, that much gore and swearing would not be very Youtube friendly.

Good Morning folks.

Just spent an our on the phone with my Health Insurance company. This is my second month with actually insurance from them... my payment was due on 4/2. I went online and set up a payment for 4/1.

The payment I set up processed on 4/2. It also auto pulled a payment on 4/2. So I was billed 2x. I call them up.. get transferred 4x, and finally wind up speaking with someone who can help me. I had 2 options: Either apply the second payment as a credit to next month (due 5/2), or request a refund. Refunds take 30 days. I WOULDN'T BE GETTING THE REFUND UNTIL AFTER MY NEXT PAYMENT IS DUE.


Shame on me for trying to pay my bill early. This was also the first month in a while were I didn't ADHD and forget a bill.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I fucking hate that.  It's like some of these people don't have real lives.   How would they feel if they - against their will - had to double pay THEIR bills?  I'm guessing they'd be "screaming bloody murder!"

When I went to the hospital with them, I initially thought I was having a heart attack. I never felt pain in my chest like that before.

I ended up having one of these put in the main artery in my leg. If I ever have another one, this device will stop it from reaching my heart/lungs/brain.

Thanks everyone.   I think from now on I will have to get monitored by my primary because it's now symptomatic but I've had blood clots in my lungs twice.

If this has happened more than once, I would highly recommend asking a nurse/doctor there about the filter I posted above. It could save your life one day.

 I was just told that if the echocardiogram is good, I will be sent home. I'll be on blood thinners for 3 once and for the rest of my life I'll have to be monitored for blood clots.

What kind of blood thinners did they put you on? I had to do self injections in my stomach for 3 months and then take a thinner orally for the following 9. I went for follow up ultrasounds every other week for a year as well.

Joe accepts that he's not 22 anymore.  He accepts that he has to play shorter sets these days.   But he never plays anything less than his best.  That's why if there's something better than Warfarin, he's going for it.  He takes Eliquis.

Damnit Joe.  DON'T DIE ON US.




...


So I made the mistake today of scheduling 2 interviews, on the same day Payroll is due. Also... the janitor crew decided that it was time to come in and clean my office as I was interviewing person #1. So that's cool.

Payroll is normally a 2 hour thing, but these last few pay periods have been insane, as the higher ups implemented some changes that the payroll program doesn't like. So until it is resolved, most of my employee's timesheets are coming out waaaaay wrong. It's not even anything the guys are doing. The program is just stuck on stupid. So I have to spend 3x the time I'd normal spend manually correcting most people's shifts before sending it off to the payroll manager to manually input it. It's not fun.

I'm taking 10 minutes to eat and dick around on the web before my second interview comes in. Well, not eat.. except for a protein shake, as I found after heating up my cheap cup o noodles, we are out of plastic forks.

Jay how is your payroll handled now? Is it on paper or is it done electronically?

Morning.  Today. I go for a walk. If my oxygen level is ok, I can go home.  If the level is high, then I may need a stint.

Thanks Tim. Just be positive if the oxygen is good and I go home I'm still working on bettering myself which I've been doing the last few months and if I need a stent, will get it done get myself back up and kick ass.

Hey John. Just hoping to get my ass home. By the way I find out my basement flooded because the power went out last night. The hits keep coming. LOL

It's never too late. You'll bounce back from this. My father had a quadruple bypass 12 years ago, lung cancer (half of his lung was removed) five years ago, and he's still going strong. You'll be alright and even better than before.
