    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    I jinxed myself yesterday when I said I didn’t have much work. They handed me a huge project right after I posted it but I’m already halfway finished with it after I worked some overtime last night and all day today. :blink:

    I’m officially on vacation now! :rickroll:

    I need to go get ahead on some of my meal preparations for tomorrow.

    ug these past few days I swear....
    saturday I kept smelling like smoke every so often, just figured it was the idiot neighbors smoking in the hallway again but then by saturday night it became more persistent...
    sunday I could not get rid of the smell, something between a campfire and cigar
    not sure if I was having a seizure/stroke or just due to all the sinus infections I'm always battling...
    I already take an anti seizure medicine, it's for my nerve pain and restless leg syndrome, so my doctor just had me take a second dose and if I didn't start feeling better then to go to the hospital
    monday I was sicker than a dog, couldn't even hold water down...not sure if it was the medication, though it usually doesn't do that to me then again I did take double the amount I'm used to, or if was something my body had been trying to fight off if it was something to do with the phantom smoke smell.....
    finally about 8pm monday I was able to eat and craving some panera bread
    tuesday for some unknown reason medicaid gave me a $35 gift card and of course I picked panera bread :) *someone somewhere must have heard my thoughts*
    sitting here minding my own business enjoying my potato soup, eating it dipped with the bread
    feel something sharp cutting into the roof of my mouth, it got stuck at the back of my mouth almost swallowed it, was able to get it dislodged and coughed out....a big piece of plastic, where someone had cut the corner of the bag off and didn't pay attention that it fell into the soup :glare:
    yep panera bread just tried to kill me :p
    been playing tag with them all day about the issue....I mean I'm not upset or anything, it's scary though because i just figured it was part of the bread, had it not cut up the roof of my mouth I would have completely swallowed it and...well I don't want to think about what would have happened....
    just wanted to bring it up to their attention, and well, get a refund on the soup. It's not like I'm trying to sue them or anything, .... happens....employees need to be a bit more careful because that really could have been a lot more serious than it was....my mouth and throat are still hurting today, will probably be sore for several days.
    Waiting to see what panera does, the manager of the location my food came from called and left a voice mail so I guess I'll hear back tomorrow.

    update one the flv blueberry muffin
    I've been splitting it up and diluting it...it's roughly around 2% flavoring now and 2 weeks steep...
    it's still meh....but it did improve....
    it's got a somewhat flavor, i'd not call it muffin but something that resembles a muffin or pancake with hints of blueberry every now and then...
    still not really worth the price...
    but can at least say that yes it was a case of over flavoring (I'd started out at 10% and it was just a notch above flavorless)
    I think next time I'll try 1% and let it steep and give it a shot again
    I mean it's an ok vape, just for the price I'd expect it to have a bit more wow flavor and not so lackluster

    Hopefully you'll have better luck with 1%. As for myself, I'm done with blueberry. I just can hardly taste it or not at all. I'll use Bilberry as a better choose.... for me.

    I just deleted the 4 plastic bottles and the shipping went down to 5.82 cents. So they are charging 3.80 to ship out 4 plastic bottles. Hmm.

    The other items' total weight would allow the order to go by First Class Parcel, which is the $5.82 cost. With the 4 bottles added, it must tip the total weight of the package just past the 13.5oz. weight limit for First Class Parcel. They're not gouging on the S/H. The total weight (with the bottles added) would force it to go by a more costly class of mail.

    @Uncle I finally bought the 3M face shield at Menards. It's not the same as the one I had at a previous job It's almost except the one I bought is cheaply made. For around 12 bucks for a reusable face shield I suppose it will suffice. The main feature that I bought it for is that I can move the shield upwards in case of fogging.

    Dear Lord, have a happy birthday for me, @DLKnives !!! I would like someone to have a good day.

    I'm pretty tired, I woke up at 4 something but I did do yoga so yay.

    My supervisor allowed me to cover a coworker for an afternoon (a slow day, all my folks come in the am) and then backed out. Today. I have no idea why, who it came from but I will also add, I am NOT HAPPY.

    Perhaps Monday afternoon when my clinics are not reopened I will GRAB the paper trail, my union rep, and descend upon him on masse and be like, "WTHELL DV GUY WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM."

    I swear, I'm done with this guy/people. He has missed 3 out of 4 meetings and he' s so completely STUPID? I can't have this guy as my supervisor and there will be NOTHING left but a smoking crater if that is what it takes. My day was somewhat dismal. I wish I focused better when I was stressed out. I don't. It sucks.

    I realize... NO I give him NO CREDIT whatsoever. He's gonna be reviewing his past with me how he puts meetings on my CALANDAR with no email, sometimes MERE minutes before they happen, the meetings he missed.... Oh, I will go back. He has held on to my cellphone for EVER so I have to use my private one.

    I'm pretty cranky honestly. I just want to go crawl in a hole and die and I really need to stop eating unhealthy sugary snacks for lunch. A protein shake is way better. Sigh.

    Maybe Friday I will have more combative energy. You just never know. I am pretty ...... off currently.

    Somewhere between here and there
    My wife had already cooked the ham for tomorrow by the time I got home. We’ll cook the turkey tomorrow and the sides.

    I’d like to sneak down and throw together a few sft tonight if she doesn’t need me to help with stuff.
