Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

Took the Asprin, did the yoga it was pretty horrific but no worse than like, some other day 2 times probably. My temperature went down. Then my mom called and I was crying and she was like, "Anna you are not going to get better from like, attacking your illness and being mad at it. You are being irrational, at this point you seem to be totally in the Covid thing of waking up with a normal temp and it rising." She said I should go to the ER because everything was taking too long and get an antibody test and some further treatment as needed. I may just do that rather than wait for a test swab then have everyone tell you you don't have COVID including your STD place because that is what it probably is. She told me to inform her when I ran out of money and she would send some.

She was also like, "Eh the job thing...." I was like, "Mom the actual start date is like 4-5 months after the offer, if I'm not okay by then I will be underground."

I guess I will try not to suck so hard and be more ah, measured but I do believe I may have to go to a Tucson ER fairly soon.

Pity. I'll fool around with your recipe until I'm ready for the next flavors order.

I’d say that most flavors can be successful as subs but there are a few that just can’t be successfully subbed.

 

[FranC]

I have a handful of different jam flavors.

Thinking the majority are too sweet for me.

Your Mom is right. You should listen.

Second Mom @FranC my mom is just not correct, she is the sweetest. As are you. She would probably be all embarrassed and crud (LOL you two may share that tendency) and make some self-deprecating remark, dude, but I HAVE TO EXIT LIMBO. I mean for my sanity's sake alone. So I have some medical testing I have to pay off, worst case, and she would totally help me if needed.

Me and the husband are like, trying to um, coordinate that in between returning the car rental and getting his. It might be Thursday but I am sick of hanging out like this and if I do have antibodies I can go rub it in everyone I hate's face (metaphorically, I mean) well not even that. I have to go it's insane to wait 2 weeks for a test that will be 70% likely to be negative and there are things I can do to get better NOW.

I mean, I only have so many life points. I think I will go to Oro Valley Hospital. They do not suck the most of all the hospitals in the general area. Etc. I think they still even have the smoking bench that you are "not allowed to have" per the governor's order. I think they just turned it into something else, called the "Memorial to the Smoker's Bench" and they shoved a waterfall in the middle and as long as you are not staff, there is this tiny sign that says, "drop .... down this drain" and they politely ignore you. Not that I will be smoking but the husband might. Etc. I mean, you know...." That's a long boring wait the ER although I am assured they are pretty empty these days.

Probably I will go it would make for an excellent reason to uh, perhaps move my PA interview to Monday anyway which I am not sure why I did not do in the first place.

Good advice!

 

[stols001]

Yup it only took about 5 weeks of such advice including from actual doctors who I HAD CALLED AND PAID for their advice, but noooo…..

I'm not stubborn or anything. I will go. When I finally say I am gonna do a thing you can usually count on me to do it by then, it just sometimes takes, some ah time.

To be fair, I can't imagine ever being this sick ,this long.

Anna

 

[DLKnives]

Good for you Anna!

 

[hittman]

Good morning mixers.

 

[FranC]

I don’t remember, is that different from your mixed berry cheesecake that I love and am still using.

Yes, it is different.

 

[FranC]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

 

[DavidOck]

Happy hump day, mixers

Uh, Anna, consider yourself lucky!

Just paid my bills. Also cleaned up my gmail as it was getting out of hand. And working. All this talk of my AC and I was due for my biannual clean and check and they called yesterday. Must be reading my mind. Having that done Friday. Thinking about taking a couple of days off. I want some trees cut and I need my septic tank cleaned out. I want to get some of this stuff done before I go back to work. Spend my stimulus money I guess. I also need to go have my Mom and Dad's taxes done for them.

Take some time off. It’s a good idea.

 

[FranC]

Getting some early hot weather. 89 yesterday and the same today.

My little BCF order finally updated and should be here Sat.

 

[stols001]

Oh man trying to wake up. I HAVE GOT to remember to put my phone on do not disturb at night. All these different time zones CALLLNG me at 6 am. Then I pick up because like, I am all like, "Oh, SURE I can do like an interview at 8 am because I am trying to act like I am awake when I am not. No more.

I have an hour and a half to wake up for TODAY's interview. I did not get enough sleep. I have no fever (yet) again but I bet I get one soonish.

I would say wish me luck only I do not NEED luck I need a brain transplant I think. Yup. Oh well, here goes nothing type of thing. Swilling coffee and I put my teeth in already so I should be able to enunciate by then. It takes some time.

I am calling to MOVE my PA appt because I am going to the ER tomorrow and it will probably be a long annoying day and I am going to tell them I cannot do it at 7 am my time. It would be pretty much pointless. So that is how it will have to be.

Aurora CO wants to speak with me apparently.

I'm not sleeping well not sure why but it is stressing me OUT which means it is probably the stress doing it. I am going to sleep in one day soon....

I thought your top pick of a job was the one in NM.

 

[hittman]

What a day. I'm not getting any of my own work done. We are already down two people and then we have one on vacation today and another guy had to take his wife to the doctor and called and said he's not coming in today. I spent all morning helping out front.

It is but the IHS (Indian Health Service) moves like a SLUG and you can't put all your eggs in one basket, man. It is just... You can't.

So I interviewed for the VA substance abuse job and I think it went fine. It was an hour earlier than I thought, but like, well, eh. I was not nervous and I did not have time to be. So yay on that. I think it went pretty fine, performance based interviews aren't really so different from normal ones. I think it went well.. I mean, you know.... Etc. I sell me pretty well. The last question I think I made them laugh a bit, it was like, "Why are you the best candidate for this position." I started out by saying, "Well I have to think this to be effective and there are times I will even tell patients and families this too, "I am awesome." If I don't believe that about myself how can I be an effective clinician and if my clients don't think so, well, how am I going to help them?" Including like, then after that all my relevant credentials training skill enthusiasm, patience etc blah blah blah. I asked some relevant questions and like did fine overall.

I am going to answer that question in that fashion until the day I die. I believe it, so should everyone else because I HAVE to especially with like few resources and whatnot. It is heavily clinical and I would get to do DBT groups I am all OVER that man..

So anyway, whatever. We'll see. In a couple weeks. I just canceled the PA one I was like "I am not moving there and I do not need practice in performance based interviewing it's just like well backwards questions but they are totally normal.

@FranC this is a job I would not mind performing, honestly. I like WV, it's pretty rural but bigger towns are close. I wouldn't have any issues. If they send me a good job offer in a few weeks, that would be okay by me. I might accept I like WV and I would totally be fine. Etc.

What happened to you loving the PA job? I'm confused now. What job did you just do the interview for?
