Metformin is supposed to be kept between 59-86F (same with pretty much everything I'm on). It stays in my backpack. Occasionally my backpack gets left in the car, but not often (when it does, it's usually in the trunk, which stays quite a bit cooler than the cabin). I'd just be adding one more thing to my man purse. With a lot of meds, being outside of that zone usually just shortens the shelf life (and the expiration dates tend to be extremely generous on most meds). So just got back from an urgent care clinic - they xrayed my chest, guess who has loving pneumonia... again? Sugar is a lot lower today (still a lot higher than I'd like, but it was under 200 when I woke up), but I'm finally feeling human...ish (as in I have an appetite and some energy). NP at the clinic said being sick (especially pneumonia sick) can throw a lot of stuff off for diabetics, Mayo Clinic's website specifically cites pneumonia as one of the things that can seriously gently caress a diabetic's sugar up. I'm hoping that's all it is - I'm going to try to get in with my regular doctor soon, but he's on vacation at the moment. Urgent care clinic strongly suggested I should have been hospitalized based on how weak I am + how out of whack my sugar has been, but no, shitposting on the internet is more important. Awesome part is I've had the pneumococcal vaccination (a few years back); this makes round 2 with pneumonia in less than a year. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jan 4, 2023 |

Just realized I've barely been eating for nearly 2 weeks. Hell of a way to lose weight I guess (I'm down 8 lbs), but now that the sugar is somewhat down and (I think) I'm fully out of DKA, I'm hangry. So hangry. I don't feel up to cooking a whole meal, but I have a bunch of leftover ham from Thanksgiving in the freezer (including a ham bone). I have potatoes, I have milk, I have cheese. I just need to grab celery, carrots, and onion. e: welp Albertsons/Safeway/Randall's just got $50 out of me. So much "oh hey, coupons" while comparison shopping against HEB, debating if it's worth paying the extra $5 to get my order in the same time frame from HEB (plus the extra hassle of making another stop), plus a "hey if you drop $75, we'll give you $30 off on your first online order**********". Somehow they're always way cheaper than anybody else on beef and chicken (but generally much higher on everything else). Their meat department is about to hate me unless they did a bunch of extra super lean ground beef for the advertised sale (93% @ $3.99/lb if you get a bulk pack... that's what 73-80% goes for everywhere else, and I have plenty of freezer paper + a fairly empty chest freezer), and I can justify paying twice as much on the produce when I'm paying 1/3 of what I would normally pay for meat. And of course, "if you do a 7 day FREE TRIAL of our ULTRA PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP DELIVERY THING you'll get 4x points then $12.99/mo after", so I should be getting at least 30c/gal off on my next fillup (they're generally priced in line with everyone else nearby on gas, and I'm down to about 1/3 of a tank). So glad my bank lets me generate temporary card numbers  mariooncrack posted:And cheaper! Believe it or not, not exactly. For whatever reason, it looks like all of my benefits from my former employer are still active (hell, I can still log into my email and Teams from my desktop, but I've deleted all work related apps from my phone at this point). ER visit is $100 (urgent care is $50), but I'm also signed up for one of those hospital indemnity plans that essentially offsets an ER visit (and it's linked to my medical insurance claims - it's supposed to all be automatic). Since the medical was so cheap, I went full hog on most of the other stuff. All of my benefits are still active. I've tried reaching out to HR to ask about when I'll see any COBRA paperwork and when my benefits will discontinue, but never heard back (tried 3x over the past month). The indemnity plan paid directly to me before as a direct deposit for getting a physical last year, so I don't think it would go through payroll. If it did I probably wouldn't see anything, I'm sure they want my share of the benefits that they're still paying for.

Wishing you a swift recovery. Pneumonia is terrible, my great uncle had it starting around Christmas though he didnt know until a day or two after when they went to urgent care. Regular doctor is closed for the holiday week. They sent him to the hospital right away where he found out it was pneumonia and fluid around his heart. Hes 91 and I really worried he wasnt coming home, his father died of it in the hospital when he was 89 so my uncle was really worried as well. He did get better though and only spent 4 days in the hospital peeing like mad lol. Such a relief. My sister and I are really close to them like grandparents. Hes an electrical engineer and just smart in general answered all my million kid questions about how everything worked. Definitely responsible for my turbo-nerdery and Im glad for that. e: well gently caress he just called and has congestive heart failure.

Welp, had a second phone interview for a job I KNEW I nailed. It's an hour after I was supposed to get a call, and... crickets. They kept telling me over and over, pounding it into my head, that it was scheduled for EASTERN time, but we're well past the time if it'd been eastern or central. Online it still shows I have an interview "in progress". shy boy from chess club posted:e: well gently caress he just called and has congestive heart failure.

Apparently the key to Tesla HR noticing you quit over a month ago is to mention it on SA; forgot to remove Intune Company Portal from my phone, my phone got remotely wiped while I was eating dinner.  Trying to log in to anything related to Tesla just shows invalid login now. I'm assuming my medical is still good through the end of the week, since that's the kind of thing that goes by pay cycle (and it's the only company-related thing I can still log in to, I assume only because it doesn't rely on SSO).Thank you Tesla, for wiping my main 2FA app (and thus my access to over 50 things). Luckily I'm a paranoid rear end in a top hat and keep at least 1 backup device around, along with printed 2FA codes for the Really Important Stuff (though those are in my safe deposit box), just gonna take a bit to recover all of that. Never ever use a personal device for company poo poo; the only reason I did was I was assured Intune could only wipe company-related poo poo. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jan 5, 2023 |

Highly annoyed that I have to go up to the bank to get my printed backup 2FA codes tomorrow, but it just means I can't use any Google features on my primary account until tomorrow morning. My PC is still logged in too, it's just the phone that can't access my Google account. I'm sure I'm making plenty of IT types cringe, but my phone book is saved to Google, photos are backed up to Google Photos, most apps are backed up to Google Drive.

I put the work SIM in my iPhone day 1, tossed the work phone to drawer and just once in a moon update it so the intune / IT won't get mad at me or the battery won't die, swell and explode. The only thing that's on my phone that's work related is a daily 2FA SMS. A tiny dumb phone could handle that. Applied for a new job and they said they'd contact me yesterday for next round of interviews and they never did. It was super interesting senior DevOps poo poo. I guess I didn't impress them, wrong cloud vendor (I only know private cloud/generic k8s well, not AWS specific things which don't seem that complicated) Wife got us a new kitten. It's super fun but getting annoying at times. Kitchen reno is also under way but progress has been slow since the contractor has vacation this week and plumber and electricians are only available next week.

I guess Tesla did me a bit of a favor by waiting so long to finally mark me as gone. They emailed the official separation paperwork last night (to my personal email, my work email is now gone). All of my benefits are paid until the end of the month, which is pretty nice to have - the medical is drat good for the most part, and I can go ahead and get another pair of glasses. Supposedly they're paying out PTO as well, though I didn't have much. That means another tax form to deal with next year.  I just looked at my hiring bonus (which I won't ever get), which was, at the time, $6,000 of TSLA stock. It's worth $2700 now.  I wouldn't have been able to touch it for another 3 1/2 years anyway.The Door Frame posted:Last time this happened to me, I just stayed alone on the call link they sent me for 45 minutes before anyone else showed up.

They were supposed to call me. Pretty unprofessional. I logged into the candidate portal and it still shows my scheduled time, double checked that the phone # was correct too. There is a phone # in the email confirmation, but it just plays a recording stating I need to reach out to my recruiter (I've never talked to one - I'm sure I have one, but I have no idea who it is).

"uh, you want me to keep outlook and teams on my phone? I have snake..... can you show me how to install that stuff on this thing? It's kinda old".

I think they tried to do that a few years back and *royally* pissed people off when it enforced an 8+ character alphanumeric passcode (AKA, a password) on their phone. Or maybe that was my previous job. I uninstalled their crap instantly when that happened. My phone, gently caress you. I just ignore all company apps after hours, and thankfully my boss isn't the type to even try. If that changes, the apps will get logged out at the end of the day.

I managed to get around most of the MDM security poo poo by using a fingerprint as my primary way of unlocking my phone. But I have an unlocked bootloader + rooted phone, with Magisk and other stuff helping to hide that. I suspect that's probably why my phone got wiped instead of the typical removal of work-related info you usually get with Outlook+Teams+Intune. Next job that pulls that poo poo gets to deal with me only having a 3595 or similar. The drat thing STILL works, on the original battery even, though the only network it'll ever work on (and that network's time is limited) is T-Mobile's EDGE. EDIT: the company that ghosted me yesterday called me a few minutes ago and did an impromptu phone interview. Exactly 24 hours late, and I wasn't exactly ready to do a phone interview at the drop of a hat - I'm sure some answers were cringeworthy. At least they apologized, said they're not sure who's calendar I was on, but they'd try to follow up to see what happened (large company, 30k employees nationwide - and no I don't believe for a moment they'll really try to figure out what happened). Have an in-person interview about a half hour away next week. Downside is it'll take 90 days for benefits to start (and doing COBRA to continue my benefits from Tesla is $1500/month, loving ouch), so I'll have to do an ACA plan for a couple of months if/when I get hired. Upside is take-home vehicle and company issued phone that I can turn off unless I'm on call. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jan 5, 2023 |
