same here, willy, and most times the doctors will get results back the same day. they might not call till the next day thoughand very rarely there's a hiccup and another day goes by. pretty sure though 99% of delays occur in the doctors' offices and not the hospital lab.
I had another draw done yesterday at 4:45 PM at the hospital lab, just got a call from the doctors office (10 AM next morning) with the results, everything is normal now. But wow, suddenly I'm getting prompt attention from the doctor and staff, see, giving them hell and taking a stand works.
Looks like what ever it was that was making me feel bad passed on it's own, so weeks passed, multiple doctors visits, repeated tests and nothing they did contributed to making me better. Well now all I have to do is wait for all the co-pay's to come so I can pay those bills, and for what?
This is why I don't like to go to the doctors, they are "supposed" to help you, all they do is cost me more money, hope they spend it on something good, maybe put it toward a new boat or fancy car... 
Wonder if it was something they sprayed in that room that's stuck to the floor? Is it a bathroom, maybe hair spray?
I'm going to hazard a guess with the bamboo floor...I suspect the finish has worn, been abraded enough that it not longer is "factory smooth". Maybe a good polish would do the trick, but don't fall for the "instant" no effort stuff that's out there. That stuff will produce a nice shine, but it's actually a thin layer of plastic, think shrink or saran wrap, that will wear pretty quickly and give you even more headaches.
My other question is is the flooring a laminate or solid bamboo? I'm guessing, but would suspect a laminate. Nothing wrong with laminates but the finish layer of bamboo may be very thin depending on the quality of the laminate. That can be problematic if you have to re-finish the whole floor.
Incidentally, any wood floor will "warp" if it gets too wet. What actually happens is that the wood absorbs the water and expands, just like a cotton wick...same form, basically, of cellulose. Worst one I ever saw was an industrial client that had a wood floor through the whole plant. It was actually just short pieces of 2x4 standing on end, stacked tight with a thick concrete base underneath. It was nice to walk on, much easier than concrete. Anyhow, they always shut down for two weeks in the summer for vacation. There was a roof leak in some heavy rain during that shutdown. When they came in to do the startup stuff, say 10 days later, the center of the factory floor was about six feet higher than the edges, complete with all the machinery still on it.

To get a sense of how great a sacrifice the U.S. made when the
Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy 74 years ado on D Day, consider this:
That battle cost 29,000 American lives.

Juno Beach
On D-Day, June 6, 1944, “Operation Overlord”, the long-awaited invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, began with Allied armies from the U.S., Britain and Canada landing on the coast of Normandy. On D-Day, the 3rdCanadian Infantry Division landed on Juno Beach.
About 5,400 Canadians are buried in Normandy. In the two and a half months of the Normandy campaign, Allied casualities (killed, wounded and captured) totalled 210,000. Canadian casualties totalled more than 18,000, including more than 5,000 dead. German casualties were 450,000.

Were anybody here in the military? All of my friends a year or two older than me was being drafted. So I figured I might as well get it over with and just sign up. After about 4 months in the military the Vietnam War was over. The draft ended and everything. I probably could have escaped the whole thing. But if I had to do it again, I probably would.

It's throughout the whole place except where there was something on top, which is why I guessed it was dust or something
Is laminate the kind that you fit together? If so I have a box of extra ones in the utility room.
nope
laminate is when only the top layer is bamboo laid over some less expensive material and, apparently, with bamboo it's called engineered not laminate. pull out that extra box and check it against here:Types of Bamboo Flooring - Solid vs Locking vs Engineered
I was going to put some in a 30 ml juice bottle (w/label) for ease of application but it looks just like VG so I'm going to just use it from the bottle that it's in.
Huh????

Context please?
The extras I have appear to be solid without that peice on top that you mentioned... Here I scrubbed a line in the kitchen so you can see that film of dust I'm talking aboutnope

Going to change the brake pads on my car. Ideally the calipers should be rebuilt or replaced. I'm just going to push the pistons back in but will get some lube under the dust boot first, could have used brake fluid but this stuff is way better.
Funny, I've only had to rebuild one caliper ever. I just compress the caliper back in, lube the slides, bushings and bolts and go on with it. Have I just been lucky?
huh... I can't seem to get it visible in forum, is there something going again with ecf & Tapatalk, I'm still on "ec forum" not ecf.
No calipers very rarely need replacement, st least in my experience... when you think about it the whole thing is stationary minus the piston & most calipers only have one piston each. My first car was a turbocharged civic & had the drums in the back, since then I will forever get all 4 disc. I was about 16 & first time I took them both apart (same time) to clean out the dust & replace the shoes, i wasn't paying attention... it took me longer to figure that out vs the engine swap I did later.

I've done probably a few hundred, back in the late 70's Chrysler used a composite piston and with the winter road salt the area between the main seal and the groove for the dust boot would swell with rust and seize the piston.
Would have expected that you rebuilt a pair rather than one, depending on why I guess.
