FWP: people don’t believe me about true things, and also I can’t find the post I was looking to reply to with this message. Nobody believes how many things came from Star Trek. I mean, like, the drat cell phone. Look at Kirk and his transmitter and look at an old cell phone. Another FWP: people think I’m a loser that I know these things. E: sorry for double post. Another FWP: accidentally double posting.

Y'know, buying your own deep fryer is pretty cheap these days. It might even end up saving you money in the long run. FWP: mine is tucked away in the basement because it ended up wrecking my waistline :(

I just started a new job that is much better (especially the in the long run). However, I knew my old job extremely well and was training people with regularity. There is a comfort in that. This new job has all new terms, new procedures and all that. I'm so uncomfortable and on edge but it's not anyone's fault but my own.

I’ve been at my current place for about 3 years and I know where everything is and how to do everything, I don’t want to have to go back to being clueless and a pain to my coworkers because I keep having to ask about things since I’m new and nervous.

My husband and I finally got dental insurance and I've been trying to schedule a dentist appointment with an oral surgeon for him, so he can finally get his wisdom teeth removed. Our regular dentist, that happily takes our insurance, gave us three places for oral surgery as referrals. The first doesn't take our insurance. The second is closed down, since the doctor retired. The third is a pediatric-only dentistry. So I go to the insurance provider's website and search for oral surgeons in our area that accept our insurance and find a measly five options. The first two are actually just regular dental offices and do not do wisdom teeth removal; the third doesn't have appointments available until 2019; the fourth and fifth don't actually take the insurance anymore! And on top of it, a few of the receptionists on the phone were super rude saying poo poo like "No we don't take that insurance anymore" and hanging up on me. What the gently caress?  Edit: Also gently caress meniscus tears, my knee is loving killing me and no one believes it can hurt that badly since I can still walk around.

Is your dental insurance through your work or did you buy it yourself? In general it's not worth getting insurance by yourself. I worked in a dental office for a few months and the insurance world is a shitshow. Even Google/Apple employees have lovely plans and they also seem to have like a dozen different plans within the same company.

FWP: 2 tiny termite tubes came down from my bedroom ceiling. Now need to drill a hole and spray the foam up there. But I can't find the electric screwdriver or the drat poo poo to cover the hole up.

Similar to that, I was looking forward to having a quiet Sunday in before work this week but now I've been roped into driving all over the state with family and my girlfriend. I just want to stay in and get centered, damnit.

I probably need to remove my wisdom teeth, this alone would be annoying enough. But my go to dentist/friend of the family that gives us nice discounts for anything mouth related is on a 2 week vacation right now. And I'm really unsure if I should just ride it out with some painkillers and anti inflammation pills, or just suck it up and go to somplace else and get it over with.

Go elsewhere, wisdom teeth extraction is the same anywhere so long as specialist performing it is passably competent. It’s not like if you had all your teeth filled like *this* and the last one like *that*.

How much is “some bucks” - 2 weeks worth of painkillers and being grumpy at home after work and in mornings because it hurts (and potential health problems caused by painkiller use)?

Go to the other dentist because your pain WILL flare up to "I want to kill myself" 15 minutes after the last dentist has gone home for the weekend.

I have to clean up the wires under my desk, but that means turning off the PC and disconnecting and untangling everything. Also I might be getting a cold. Woke up with a sore throat and now I'm starting to feel weak and tired even after eating breakfast.

I had a bad fall a few days ago on the way home from work and while all the injuries are visibly better than they were, and one of the larger scrapes on my knee has fully scabbed over, the other large scrape is still looking pretty raw and my face and knuckles are a total mess. I hate not having full mobility in my knee. Also I had to get my glasses fixed and my watch face is shattered.

Evening update: Yeah, I think I got a mild cold. Sore throat still, and stomach feels off. I took a nap for a couple hours and now I'm simultaneously hungry and not hungry. If I feel like this tomorrow morning, I'm taking the day off.

If I feel like this tomorrow morning, I'm taking the day off. Same. Coughing, feeling generally dull and blah. Oh and my period just started too, lovely. My friend had me over for tacos last night but my fogged brain didn't realize it was sort of a dinner PARTY, not just casual taco dinner with friend, so i showed up in a tshirt and no makeup and a bandana over my bad hair day hair. So now my socially anxious brain is freaking out about how i appeared to the other guests, who were strangers to me, that i may or may not see again. I'm tired and muddled generally in my life and just wish someone would feed me soup and tea and tell me it's ok when i spend the day in pajamas.

AC is out. Good news is that it's only a high of 85 this week. Suck news is that that is outside temps and inside, even with fans full blast, we are sitting about 90. We need a new AC unit and that's a few grand. I saw termite tubes dropping from my bedroom ceiling. Got the foam poo poo again, now to drill holes in the ceiling and loving plug the bitches up. Did I mention we just paid the house off?

The stand-up units are, for the price, complete garbage. But if you're willing to spend the dough they're drat convenient. It's a trade-off.

Cost would be offset by how many we'd need, I think. 1470sq foot house and I live in Phoenix. Now mom is mopey as gently caress because of the money we need to spend, and I'm doing my best not to remind her we wouldn't have a $700 monthly bill IF SHE HADN'T BOUGHT A NEW loving CAR AT THE START OF SEPTEMBER AND GOTTEN ROYALLY hosed ON IT because she insisted on walking around a dealer for hours rather than looking online, and went entirely alone. Oh, and she traded her paid off totally working car for 2k, and NOW hates her new car because 'the seat isn't comfy.'
