Just got back from our Christmas road trip. Some real sicko stats here:



Really annoyed that I was off from an even 4400 by .1 of a mile, and that a light rail train blocked me and kept me from an even 70 hours :mad:

70 hours? In a car?

Does anyone know like a discord or something that can help me with an excel issue? I have two spreadsheets with a shitton of UPC's in columns. I need to find ones that exist in both spread sheets, and then export the price in a different column from one spreadsheet to the other one.

VLOOKUP from one sheet to another for the same value. Next column over evaluate if the two cells match A1=B1, column after that you can do an if for TRUE/FALSE and then key in another vlookup in the next column to get the price.

I'm sure there's a nicer way and yes you can nest this, but if you're new enough to excel to ask then you probably don't need the confusion of nesting if statements.

Hey car knowers, my truck hit a curb today skidding on ice. Broke the wheel and knocked it out of alignment. Screwed up the stabilitrak, although I’m assuming that’s because the alignment is off. It’s going to the shop for an estimate anyway. I think the frame may have had a bolt hole expanded? Does anyone know what I’m looking at while I wait a week for the estimate?

AHHHHH what sacrifice do I need to make to convince people that discovery on cases should be done every 6 months at the bare minimum? Going almost 18 months without it is unacceptable and yet that's what court related issue I gotta crisis manage because oops trial is coming up and nothing's been done. I'd rather deal with getting a last minute rare for our area language interpreter again. Thankfully it's a work from home day for me today and I can get on my excercise bike to get out my anger/anxiety energy.

As someone who has navigated a shitload of family court recently, I’m glad you’re out here doing this and I wish I’d had insight like this a year ago.

lol, we got mandated to do rolling discovery so now our office staff just keep active shared directories where they send out everything once a month or so, no effort on my part so I can’t complain. Though we’re also supposed to discover all text messages, but the only way to do that is to screenshot, email them to myself, then transfer them to the right directory, and, like, my entire caseload is teenagers, I send dozens if not hundreds of messages per day, so that’s one area where I’ve not been in compliance for years

You could probably get a program to automate the export of all conversations and then use an AI program transcribe them.

Wife is on short term disability instead of working for 6-12 weeks with long covid poo poo and of course the loving company hired to deal with disability claims for her work is denying based on a clerical error and making her refile everything.

No no, don’t let the person who is sick and needs time to rest and recuperate do that, make them chase their doctor to redo all of the paperwork entirely because one loving field wasn’t filled out.

Wife is too nice for this poo poo. I’d already be wrist deep in an HR managers rear end in a top hat if it was me.

You probably know this, but the primary function of medical insurance companies is to deny claims, for any possible reason or no reason at all. Some percentage are never appealed, so that is a profitable strategy, even though handling appeals is a cost. Generating profit is the reason the insurance company exists, so, denying claims is therefore central to the business model.

And, no, you wouldn't be deep in any HR manager's rear end in a top hat, because this happens 1000 times a day every day at every hospital in the country. Every doctors office, everyone who has to bill a medical insurance company, has to have full-time staff dedicated to filing claims appeals. They have met you and everyone else like you who is furious about it before, they've had to deal with that, they have arms-lengths policies and so on, because of course everyone's loving furious about it. And the reason some field wasn't filled out right is because the insurance companies intentionally make it as confusing and difficult and obtuse as possible to file: it's all tricks, to try to get you to gently caress up.

When you start yelling or getting pissed or especially making any kind of threats, even empty ones, you don't get results: you get stonewalled. The only chance you have of eventually getting your poo poo paid for is by being incredibly kind, patient, and easy to work with with 100% of everyone you talk to, without exception.

You misunderstand. You get wrist deep in the HR managers rear end in a top hat at your company.

You can try being all nice and sunshine and butterflies to the powerful dipshits trying to deny claims, or you can go to the person who manages the program and ask why it would be acceptable for a contracted entity to behave this way.

You are right though, I generally give HR a chance to make things right before I get testy, but I 100% will and have gotten upper levels of management involved in support of not making one of my employees have to deal with this mundane bullshit while they’re otherwise incapacitated, as any responsible people manager should.

I’ll do garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and maybe some smoked paprika. Just cover it liberally and toss it in until it hits 165, then I’ll wrap it and skip the stall. At 235 it’ll still take forever to reach 203.
