I have that rule - don't leave a message? I ain't calling you back.
Exception; wife and my inside sales person, Sandy. If I see caller ID and it's one of these two I'll call back.
Ten voicemails a week from my inside sales person; hey, it's Sandy from the office, I have a question, please call me back.

Yep, confirmed pneumonia. Now I get to pay for a bunch of prescriptions and a nebulizer.
It's funny how once you turn 40, your body just kinda goes "BERK YOU"
I've had to use a nebulizer here for a bit too, right after 40 too.
Amazon has some cheap battery powered ones that work well as long as you clean them every time
Luckily (or unluckily really), my deductible had already been met from the August kidney stone and bout #1 of pneumonia so I paid $0 for the nebulizer. The nebulizer is a decent home-use unit that plugs into the wall. I've already used it for the first time today with the Albuterol. It seemed to help.
I guess the antibiotics are starting to work as I'm starting to hack up lung butter. My abs are so damn sore from hacking every 30 seconds. It's a hell of an ab workout.
And now the central A/C in the house is not blowing cool air. The outdoor unit is running but the compressor is not cycling.

Win 11.
Gone are the days you can just hook your phone up to your computer and they automatically "see" each other.
Now you have to add an app for that. And turn the app on when you want to use it. What the heck.
You do realize that some of us are in awe of your ignorance.
More than likely not. (Not related to this tread. Another one).
Gout pain intensifying, guess I'll go to the ER today instead of everything else I planned on doing
Earlier in the week, my daughter's school mentioned in either the weekly newsletter or in a specific email that they would be testing their emergency notification system. Yesterday, they sent out an emergency alert that said there was an internal threat and the school was under lockdown. About 10 minutes later, they sent out a second notification indicating that this was a test.
Now, I happened to be at the school at that moment and I also remembered that they were talking about doing this test, so no big deal for me. Apparently, however, several parents did freak out a little bit. Perhaps when you're going to send a test message you should indicate that it is a test in the message. Or maybe send out the "hey we're just testing things, there's no threat at the school" ten minutes before the test instead of 10 minutes after.

I don't have this problem with my phone and Win11 at all. I do hit a button on my phone to allow the connection as a storage device, though.
My rant: When you're copying and pasting things and somehow put one fancy quote mark in your code instead of the regular quote marks and you have to spend a while debugging things.
Facebook Marketplace. So sometimes when you list in groups the location is kinda hidden from view.
When I'm a buyer looking at stuff if I can't find it, I use my berkeleying brain look for license plates or view the persons profile for location or clues.
Trying to sell wheels. Guy interested and asks, "Where are you near?" I look at his profile. Lives in LA.
And about a month ago when I had a part out listing open had great messages with one person. Had a pile of parts for him. Day setup for him to come too. Finally he's about to leave and asks for full address. "Oh I thought you were in Bridgewater NJ, too far for me."
In reply to dan0 :
In every ad I do this:
Located 15 minutes from X, postal code X0X 0X0, so don't ask for my location.
Rant.
Come on Fox, I was very clear in my warranty submission. The pad will not clip in on one side of the helmet. Either post on the pad will clip in and lock on the R side, neither will clip in and lock in on the L side.
Fox warranty after asking for more pics of the helmet: I guess you need a new pad, then.
Really?
Brought on to run sales and GTM for this company 5 months ago. Sadly we are HR consulting and outsourcing and not finance- because I was just told we're in the red despite already doubling last years revenue- and I'm going to have us 3x by next month. Sales is a crazy life. I should have been a farmer.
In his very first week of kindergarten, the boy brought home a cold. Naturally, he shared with with me, and the most unholy things are happening inside my head.
He's also not mastered the fine art of leaving us the flip alone at night. If he wakes up, so do we. If the covers aren't right, or if he's bored, or if he feels the need to announce the kind of fact that is of utmost importance to a kindergartner, he wakes us up. Screaming and tears are often invoked, and the house does not rest until his concerns are addressed. We are paying dearly for this.
Naturally, he wakes up like a four-alarm fire, ready to eat the world and come back for seconds. It's all I can do on Saturday mornings to get out of bed at all, let alone keep him away from his mother so she can recover some lost sleep. His battle cry of "play with me!" is relentless. Kid, I'd be a lot more willing to play if i got a decent night's sleep...
I get a lot of hugs, but am having a hard time convincing him that surprise neck hugs from behind are called "choking" and are not as welcome.
The dryer, being a Samsung appliance, has pooped its bed once again. Runs, but no heat. Same old same old.
Our rabbit, Simon, evidently has tuberculosis of the leg.
And other issues of a more personal manner that don't need to be discussed here.
I'm tired of "buy X amout, and get it for less." It never seems to work out right.The deal was four 12 pack for $4.99. Even with 10% sales tax, that should be about $22.00 total, right?
$25.64. You must think I suck at math. This E36 M3 happens all the time. I should pay attention to the receipt better.
In reply to DarkMonohue :
I don't know man and it sounds cliche but one day you'll wish for a choking behind hug. Time flies when raising kids.....
In reply to Appleseed :
It used to be that when you bought the larger package of something it would be a better deal. You know, buy in bulk and save. A trend I've noticed lately is that the larger the package, the higher the individual cost. Walmart has been bad for this for some time, but I'm seeing it on a lot more things now.
In reply to Peabody :
Yup. I do enjoy the cost per unit tags that are prevalent. Makes it easy to see which one is the rip off.
My depression is kicking my ass like never before. I just want to crawl into a bottle and just never return. Been building for the last month no response from the doctor about getting me in. Have not slept over a few hours in the last couple days but trying. Put in for a video visit tonight if they can get me in.
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :
Yep. Looking at files on my phone on win 11 is no different than 10 or 7
7 berkeleying hours.
I had to shave the berkeleying studs with a berkeleying handheld planer.
Im hurting BAD.
next time i pay the man.
I travel a good bit for work, but today was by far the worst experience trying to find parking at the Atlanta airport. Went to the international terminal, both the hourly and the park and ride were full and blocked off, went to an off-airport parking, it was also full. Went to the domestic terminal, north parking was full, south parking was closed for construction. The signs said west parking was full, but I took a chance and managed to get in and find a spot on the top of the deck. Had to take the sky train to the domestic side, then take the plane train to the international. Then the lounge was full so no free liquor while I waited for my flight. At least I made it and I'll have time to sneak over to Munich Oktoberfest after my work training next week
For a place that is a giant pharmacy you sure don't do pharmacy things. I requested an insulin refill 3 days ago. 3 berkeleyING DAYS. This isn't some bullE36 M3 pill to make my dick hard, its just so I can, you know, live. So I can get up every day and feel like E36 M3. It still isn't filled.
Up yours, Walgreens.
Saving a nickel costs a dollar, you cheap prick. I can be a tightwad, surely, but every time I use my vacuum sealer, I try to cut exactly the right amount of plastic to make the bag, which means I underestimate 20% of the time...which gets thrown out, because I already tried the chicken to see if it fits in it.
Pulled rank and got an appointment at the doctor tomorrow.
Neighbor texts me last night, "Hey, you've got a tractor, right?".
He needed help digging a grave.

You're right, of course, and I think about that every day. We also know that it's hard being five. But we are trying to work through some impulse control issues. He has to learn that pouncing on people from behind or running up and pummeling them in the tender vittles is not how one shows affection.
