I have 2 actually. They sent some stuff for review.

Aah, a fellow reviewer :) Do you review here only or elsewhere? I've been thinking about doing some of the Reddit forums too.

I like doing the reviewing and it's nice to be helpful when you review a pre-released product. Maybe stop some of those bad buys...jeez I know there were a few for me back in the day :)

I'm not a reviewer. They asked if I'd like to try the maat and sent 2 boxes of gear.

Getting ready to go make cupcakes for the animal shelter workers because I want to bribe them. I have an awesome guy, I named him Johny Cash, and I want the shelter to take him from me. Another I drug home from the trap neuter return I am doing at the trailer park. He is just too nice a cat to be a home less stray. Johny is not feral, he was left behind by someone. More charisma then the original Johny Cash. He is a hugger and head .... er and so awesome

Already neutered and great litter box and feeding manners. Our shelter is 80% NO KILL but trying to get them to take a cat is an act of congress. Or maybe cupcakes ;)

Holla dear shiny folks oh GOODNESS not gonna try even to catch up. I hope everyone's purchases have been fortuitous.

This move was okay but it still sucked. Very tired after first week in new clinic only able to wake vacantly and gaze off into space thought Friday would be "my day of restoration" only the husband got kidney stones and or food poisoning WHATEVER it's still unclear etc. Mainly because he won't go to the doc. He was willing to awaken me before 4 pm shaking like one of them little dogs and leaping in and out of the bathtub between puking.

I will say, I was sympathetic to an extent but it was also somewhat unbecoming. The little dog is sick too. I mean that literally something is up with his feet.

My only real act of shinyitis this week was panicking when I thought I had lost my dicodes mod only it had fallen into a tiny slit in my purse.

So...
There is this one doc, I KNEW he would be a problem. I did not know the EXTENT of it though. He reminds me of my stepdad only more manipulative and smart. He has gotten to the point of sludging patients UNNECESSARILY and on purpose (this is so unethical BTW) until I have to go somewhere else and then he releases them.

I'm not going to play that game with him. I am going to have my scheduler schedule me with his two last patients of the day, forever, until HE decides to get over it. I think my boss should be okay with this, she hates him too.

I plan to innocently state, "Well, I'm not in charge of my scheduling? Maybe they noticed a pattern or something and didn't want to penalize the patients/the rest of the clink/etc., but I am MORE than happy to wait with YOU and your team for as long as it takes. Dr. X and so, we can wait TOGETHER."

It's just so... transparent. Like, he really believes he is going to get away with it/I will give up/ etc.

I really can't stand the thought of doing that. He just hates behavioral health/non Mexican women/assertive woman and I have three strikes.

LOL this has the makings of future mediation/and or my reporting him to the medical board or something but I'm trying to pray for him every day so I don't wind up shaking him by the scruff of the neck like a rat.

Happy Saturday to all the amazing lovers of shiny!!

YUP! I told Skeebo this years ago and he scoffed at me.

I was in serious denial. You tried to pull me back, but I bit your hand instead. I was like a stray you couldn't catch. Then you left me to linger in that lonely, dying Gourmet Juice thread. I am so glad I found you here, I need water.

I have a few more items coming. A Twisted Messes Proseries TM 24, only the Subaru Impresa WRX STI Type R Version V has a longer name. An Eclipse Cap for the TMPTM24 above, and about 5 bottles from Giant Vape. They had a 20% off sale on a vendor I like plus another site wide 20% off that I stacked.

This is going to be a great weekend, my best friend is back home! I've only seen my wife twice in the last month due to 4 separate business trips she had. We went out last night and had a blast.

Good to see a post from you. I’ll admit I was worried about you with soooo much going on!! Sounds like a very busy week.

What does “sludging” a patient mean?

Well cleaning out cabinets and found a few squonks......
View attachment 809029

I see a Fuchai in there, I just retired one yesterday. Great mod, my first VW regulated device..... cracked seams, separating back cover and still works like a charm. I think I also see a Releaux, all 3 of mine still work-- I have the DNA versions. Great mods.

@Fidola13 Slowing down a patient's care until I have to go see a different patient at which point they are almost instantaneously "done."

It's not that I'm so PO'd "for me" I have plenty of patients I can see. It is the fact that he would purposefully do that when like the parents have to go pick up their other kids from school.

To me, that is the epitome of obnoxious lying. So, he's gonna get to WAIT and spend the end of every day with me. We should BOTH be looking forward to it, I am quite sure. It will be interesting to see how long he will try to wait me out. but his options are limited there because eventually the clinic has to close.

He's super special.

And yea I am fine just you know, tired. The husband is asleep on the couch next to me. You'd think he'd go to bed but like, at the moment I am to the husband what the husband usually is to the dog. A source of deep worship and security.

I wish he'd remember the stuff he says when he is sick. He's a good patient in the sense that he praises you bountifully and then doesn't remember how great you were. and denies statements of greatness. It's a bit unrewarding.

I need to buy something but JESUS I forgot to approve my time card because I WAS ON PTO and they issued me a "live" check in punishment. This would be fine normally but there is no Bank of America in Douglas or Bisbee so I'm gonna have to drive to Sierra Vista like SOON because.... I refuse to open a bank account or even try this weekend. I think there's some BOA app that lets you scan checks. I should totally look into that.

I have so much to do that I need to make a to do list to EVEN remember. Truth: truly out on the edge of nowhere. Some stuff is going to rely heavily on Amazon. Etc.
