So at work there is a soda delivery guy who comes in almost everyday to restock and though we’ve barely said a word to each other, we definitely Know Of each other. Well this morning I finally got a shift where I could sleep in but my dad was like Hey the cable guy is coming at 7 to replace the cable boxes and I was like alright whatever I’ll just sleep in but forgot there was a cable box in my room. So it’s 7 in the morning I vaguely hear my dad let the cable guy into my room to just swap the box and I wake up to see??? Soda Delivery Guy???? in my room???? Turns out his second job is working cable but wow here Soda Man is standing in my doorway and I’m wrapped up in a pink bunny blanket surrounded by stuffed animals like
Fun, someone said the words “prior authorizations” around me and now I’m pissed off at 730am on my day off. I go off on this rant all the time. ALL THE TIME.
Oof. This man gets it.
Every time I have to send a fax to a doctor saying “hey this med needs a PA” I get violently angry.
Hint: if your PA gets denied call your insurance and ask for the credentials of the person who made that call. Usually they will approve it instead of admitting they hired some 18-year-old with no relevant training or experience to scan for buzz-words and just deny everything
If you get denied, appeal. It’s within your rights and if the appeal is overturned, you will be approved. It happens enough that it’s worth the effort. Sometimes it’s just a phone call.
anyone else remember being a child and seeing the very neat handwriting of other little girls and somehow knowing that you were a different genre of person than they were
literally no…i remember seeing bad handwriting & thinking “oh these other kids must be orphans or something”
fascinating to hear from the other genre, thanks for your contribution
Fascinating that the messy handwriting crew cared enough to notice we had neat handwriting but not enough to make their own handwriting neat
awesome dunk on neurodivergent children i guess
In 8th grade I got tired of my shitty hand writing and spent at least 2 class periods every day practicing each letter, upper and lower case, until my hand writing was “pretty”. The old chicken scratch comes out if I’m in a rush, but now I have hand writing other people praise.
And yeah my grades suffered greatly but I was hyper focused on my handwriting.
I hope Britney gets to sue the shit out of her family, that she gets to have a baby, that her boyfriend gets to drive her around in his fucking car, but most of all I really hope she gets free from this shit and that she gets to take a break like she wants to.
what smart appliances could have been: here is the exact part that is not functioning, here are 5 vendors selling that part for between $30-$70, here are 3 repair specialists in your area
what smart appliances actually are: you can’t operate this appliance because uhhhh *checks notes* your water filter is pirated :(
When people say it’s harder for boys and men to speak up about their experiences of sexual assault, I think of the girls and women who are forcibly married to their rapist to absolve him of his crime, I think of the women living in countries where men can legally rape their wives, I think of the women who are killed for “cheating” on their husband by being raped, I think of the women who are arrested for prostitution while their rapist pimps and clients walk free. For women too, the social repercussions of opening up about sexual assault are immense. So I wonder. Is it really easier for women to speak up about sexual assault? Don’t women feel ashamed and dishonored? Don’t women blame themselves for not “fighting back”? Or for drinking too much, or for taking a walk alone at night, or for trusting him, or for dressing up “sexy”? Aren’t women accused of lying? Aren’t women scared of not being believed? Or have we just become so desensitized to women’s pain that when we hear yet another story of a woman being raped, we just convince ourselves that it mustn’t be as hard for her as it is for men since it happens to women all the time anyway.
