I've thankfully managed to avoid getting sick so far this winter. Just the very minor runny nose every now and again, but between getting a flu shot and actually remembering to wash my hands frequently I've staved off the worst of it.

Vasudus posted:My back/groin injury this week has reminded me that I'm totally not in my 20s anymore. When I went to urgent care on Friday to get some serious anti-inflammatories and a muscle relaxer they offered me vicodin. Being a white male owns. Yeah man. My most recent flare up in my back is finally starting to subside after about two months of isolation exercises and stretching, which is good because I'm only 27 and have had to move around like I'm 57.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:Have you had to crip walk with a cane yet? I spent about a year total dragging a stick around. In my 20s. Five or so months after I ets'd and my back absolutely had it, another six months around 5 years ago when I was in community college. Nothing that bad, although for a while when I first injured it in Afghanistan, bending over to lace up my boots was unbearable. When it flared up earlier this year I decided to not be an idiot this time around and actually went to an orthopedist. Two months of physical therapy made it a hell of a lot better. The second time two months ago was just me being dumb and thinking I could do deadlifts again since it felt fine. lol nope.

It's amazing how much random poo poo (especially straight up sugar) is added to a lot of prepackaged foods, including stuff like spaghetti sauce. Cooking meals from scratch can shave off 400-500 calories a day. Here's a good NY times article on how much effort goes into it: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html

You guys need to discover the majesty of working from home. Wake up at 7:30, shower, and eat breakfast after logging in at 8 while watching TV. Also I schedule all of my on-site customer engagements for 10 AM so I can still do this and miss the morning rush hour.

Also one of the tires on your hand truck is flat and the rack on the other side has been set for fixed length rail kits so you have to readjust it.

MA-Horus posted:man I can't complain about salaried positions all that much, I work my 8 hours, sometimes go to yoga class on my hour long lunch, peep some yoga butts. If I come in for 3 hours on a weekend, I get an entire day off in lieu. There are worse fates. If I have to leave work early for something, I still get paid. My company doesn't care about how much you do or do not work, so long as everything gets done.

Nuclear Tourist posted:You drive a Focus right, the one with the dual clutch 6-speed auto? Drove one of those for a few years, recently got rid of it, and heard second hand that the new owner has pretty much exactly the same problem as you. There's a Ford dealership close to where I work and I was told they replace the transmissions in those Focuses on a daily basis. Glad I have the 6 speed manual, then.

I'm going to London in a week and a half for work. What area should I stay in/what should I see while I'm there? I don't really give a poo poo about touristy stuff, and I've been to the UK before (albeit in the North, which is probably entirely different) so I've done the majority of "British" things. Side note: northern England is great and everyone should rent a car and spend a week or two driving on the wrong side of the road to explore it.

Someone called the HOA on my neighbor for having sticks in their yard, so now my entire street gets inspected. So, I walked around the yard today and picked up the sticks before mowing (my grass wasn't that long, but I could see them throwing a fit over it, since they're apparently angry at the existence of trees). Apparently I missed one, because the mower sheered off a chunk of it, which embedded itself in my shin. My EMT neighbor (same one who got Three Olives'd) removed most of it, but now I'm sitting here like an rear end in a top hat in the urgent Care clinic waiting for the local anesthesia to fully kick in before they go digging around for the rest of it.

That'll happen pretty routinely once you start to build credit. Interestingly, it actually helps your credit score assuming you maintain the same level of utilization, since your overall utilization will be a smaller percentage of your overall available credit.

I had two international trips that fell in the same billing cycle last year and I ended up owing something like $12,000 (which I was reimbursed for before the bill was due, thankfully). Cash back from that was nice, though!
