My phone GPS has been really lovely the past few days. Google Maps shows me up to a mile from my location and Pokemon Go sometimes puts me two miles away. I have a new Nexus5x and Google is shipping me a replacement, because they say it's a hardware issue after all the software tech support, but I'm worried I'm going to break the SIM card or the case. gently caress, I don't even know how to replace a SIM card.

Soooo a while back I had my health insurance payments made automatic, rather than sending a paper check. But that got hosed up somehow, and I kept getting PAY US NOW notices in the mail. I called them repeatedly, everything is fine, fine... Then I notice that I am only being billed every two months, for double the amount, rather than once a month for a single amount. Ok, weird, but no problem. Then yesterday I went to the doctor, got a new prescription. Moseyed in a leisurely fashion down to the pharmacy. They hadn't received it yet. Oh, and your insurance is expired but it's too late in the day to call your provider. So TODAY, I go online and check my insurance info. Everything's fine and hunky dory there. I call the pharmacy, and yes, my new prescription is in. I go down there to pick it up... and oh, sorry, it says your insurance policy is expired. I call insurance company. Oh, apparently they had a year-end glitch and everything is fucky. We'll call you when everything's normal! Near the end of today, the insurance person leaves me a message to say everything's all good and wonderful. So, theoretically, I can go to the pharmacy tomorrow and pick up my drugs. But NOW I am afraid of looking like a goddamned moron that can't figure out insurance for the third day in a row aagggghhhh

I used to work in a medical office primarily dealing with insurance. It's a huge shitshow and whether it's Cigna or Blue Cross or Aetna or whatever everyone uses computer databases that are like 15 years old and most of the stuff is still done through phone calls and faxes. It needs a revamp and needs to be modernized.

I used to work as a pharmacy tech, and let me reassure you that dealing with hosed up insurance claims is pretty much at least 33% of your day. I once had this one elderly couple who's insurance was allegedly supposed to start covering this special access medication for the husband. Every day, the insurance company swore up and down to them that coverage had begun, but it would still bounce back at me saying that it required special authorization. This went on for several months, and eventually after daily harrassment from both ends, the insurance company got their poo poo together and the claim eventually went through. Anyways, the point is that as long as you aren't a dick, they will give no fucks and probs be on your side.

I asked for the parts to build a new computer for Christmas because the one I have is old and crash-prone, and I got them. I put it together today, and it won't start up. I checked and rechecked all the connections and I'm pretty sure I fastened the motherboard right. So now I'm worried that I shorted out the biggest Christmas gift I've ever gotten. I couldn't have just loving asked for a new computer built by actual professionals, but noooo, I had to have a fun project. Also I think I've had a piece of popcorn shell stuck to the very back of my tongue, slightly down my throat, since Saturday.

Oof, is the power supply not engaging at all? The small wire that connects the power button to the MOBO is critical and often overlooked with beginners. Read your MOBO manual so you know what pins are for what. A lot of them are standardized but not all of them.

I have 8,644 lines of checked-in code waiting on code review at work right now and basically nothing to do. The only thing that I'm supposed to be working on relies on an external system that is currently broken and might be down indefinitely. Yes I did have the time to sit down and actually figure out how big that number is. That's what I do now. I. Am. So. Bored.

Seeing as I got my first ever smartphone last fall and never had to replace or deal with a SIM until then? It's not like instructions are set anywhere about how to use the key and which way to insert the SIM card. Everything I saw online showed someone opening the new box, and then the next shot was then closing the card slot. It'd be like me passing you a Magnum filter for an aquarium, showing you steps 1-4 on how to set it up, but never mention that you need to prime the filter or what order the inserts need to go. Some common knowledge stuff to some people is not to others. FWP: I am stupid hungry but nothing seems good to eat. This weekend I want to go across town to Pokemon hunt, but if my GPS is still hosed up, I might waste a trip for nothing in a town I have no idea how to get around.

My company decided that since we have been growing a lot the last few years that the two digit abbrevations that we use to sign stuff isn't doing it anymore and we now use 3 digits, no problem there. But whoever decided how to abbreviate our names is a loving idiot since the way it is done is always (first letter of first name)(first letter of second name)(last letter of second name), but now we have more overlaps from names than before. So you have some poor bastards running around with ABR6 or some such . But they are actually not consistent there either because there are some people that got 3 digit abbrevations that don't follow that pattern above.

My LG G5 requires a "key" to open the sim and SD Mini hatch. I use scare quotes because it's just a tiny round hole a paperclip can fit into with a spring button inside.

My sister's cat scratched me on the foot, and a lymph node in my groin got super infected and swollen, like ping-ping ball sized. Antibiotics didn't help, so eventually had to have surgery to remove it.

I don't know why it does it but sometimes they just flex before I think about it, and it always makes them feel really stiff and cramped, it sucks.

Someone in the Irrational Movie thread had a theory about Yoda's speech patterns. His sentence structure is always consistent, it's just in a different order than we're used to for English. The poster was wrong because of course there's a dumb EU explanation for it, but it was a good theory. But it reminded me of something. In Canada there's a chain of mostly terrible discount stores called Giant Tiger. In Quebec they're Tigre Geant, because that's how French sentence structure works. Everyone I know calls it Tiger Giant, and I hate it and also them. (Turns out it was the same poster above me.)

I watched some TV show where people buy houses and renovate them and I feel envious. Also kind of perplexed about how the gently caress can people who don't seem to have amazing jobs with one person living at home afford 600k houses + 200k remodeling. I'm guessing the answer is simply crippling debt?

Got back from vacation middle of last week but was super-sick on my first full day back so I took a nap in the middle of the day. Now my sleep cycle is all hosed up and I keep falling asleep a couple hours ahead of when I usually do and then bolting out of bed at like 2 or 3 AM (like I am right now), when I wake up at 7 AM for work.

In a way this is actually a really good thing. :/ I got a lotta problems: I use too much toilet paper because the rolls lasts like 2 days, max. Am I just using too much, or is the brand really lovely? I'm using the general Angel Soft brand (not the AS that says 25% more becaue the same thing happened but the roll lasted even less.) I finally have a TV but they replaced Dr Phil with some fat weird dude. I don't even like Dr Phil but it was way better than this crap. I apply for so many [retail] jobs but nobody ever calls me back. I have a lot of good history (I worked at Apple for example) but I also have blank years becaue I was a SAHM/student for a while, (at a good school which I think makes me look bad) so both those two things makes me looks super bad / not good to hire for general retail. This is such poo poo. Ugh. Can't they just hire anyone? I would like that. I know the job market sucks but come on. I'm a good worker. Bleh.

I've been in annoyingly crappy health lately. I don't feel like I'm going to die and can function pretty normally but I feel "bleh" all the time. Something is probably kind of a bit wrong. I also had to get a new primary care doctor but nobody that was any good had an appointment available until next month. Now I have to wait all that time just to see what's up. I'm half tempted to go bother the urgent care and be like "yo find what's wrong with me?"

I ordered a giant fuckoff arrow from The Hobbit and it was like, jan 3rd? and that fucker STILL hasn't shipped. I called to cancel and they just said it was in the truck and to refuse the package. I'm just annoyed cause, gently caress man, it takes them for god damned ever to send the package and in the mean time I've already gotten 2 other emails from them with 25% off coupons and free shipping coupons. It's a little irritating.
