Met with my academic advisor today. She confirmed my school stuff about econ so I'll be double majoring in that and PR.

I asked about the difficulty of business calc. She essentially told me if I failed it, it's because I'm incapable of learning.
:woof:

I have a BS in economics. No calc is really needed at the undergrad level. Graduate level eco, though, is nothing but calc.

At any half decent grad program calc is a legit requirement. There are lots of guys with degrees in math studying graduate econ.

Did you go to UoP or something? How did you get a BS in econ without needing calc? At my school you absolutely needed calc) at the 3000+ level.

I minored in math, but I didn't have to. They only require business calc and stats. Econometrics is the only class at the undergrad level that you actually need any of it, but it's just a little bit of extended stats and not really necessary. I would likely have to take another couple of math classes to get into some of the grad eco programs at FSU aside from the master's in applied eco.

Now they do highly recommend calc as a minimum, and one of the stats classes they recommend require calc III. A lot of the econ majors at FSU are in a pipeline to just get a master's in applied eco, though, which isn't so much focused on the math behind it but rather how to use it in a practical setting. Econometrics is usually the killer class for most people. I didn't struggle because I had already taken a bunch of calculus at that point.

There are people who have actual college degrees that call Fresno State FSU. I think there is a bunch of other small private schools that do too.

Its like Columbia. When its said it should mean the Ivy League university. But some fuckwits use it to refer to their back woods community college that managed to be located in a city called Columbia.

How you like Tallahassee? Its been 15 years since I left.

This in state tuition thing is dumb imo. I suppose it matters if you're after a grad degree, but if you're some scrub that just got free why not do a year or two at the local community college, get residency, and transfer to big boy school? You'll likely qualify for a full pell grant your first year and community college tuition is like forty bucks. The GI Bill and the yellow ribbon program are already insanely good, I really don't think veterans need more "benefits" on top of that. Most vets I know are lovely people, at some point the general public is going to realize this and be like "why the gently caress are we giving these shitheads all this cool stuff?"

If I hadn't set myself up to get instate tuition before I started up school, I'd be on the hook for around 9k a semester because I would have capped GI bill and you don't get pell grants as a grad student. I do agree with the attend a CC sentiment, though.

meowlins, any news you can relate about your staph infection/VA issues?
because right now I'm seeing you as being wrapped up in bandages like a mummy at a bar while leering at tits and yoga pants rear end.
...and scaring everyone else in the bar as they hope you're not contagious.

Ha. Staph infection cleared up with 10 days of Bactrim. Followed up with a malpractice lawyer that I know, and surface staph infections, even MRSA, are basically an implied risk associated with hospitals and not really recoverable beyond treatment because they're so common these days. If it was an infection say inside my knee following a surgery, I'd have something. Since it was just a few big itchy/painful bumps on the back of my head that I was given meds for it isn't worth even trying.

Stomach is still hosed. They found nothing abnormal in the upper GI scope. I have been able to level off to just 20mg a day of Prilosec and still get relief. So now I'm waiting on the next step in trying to diagnose this poo poo.

I kept trying to work instead of shamming while my medboard was pending. Then I got charged for those t-shirts and went into full gently caress everything mode. One guy was sham king, though. Dude just flat out didn't show up for two months and just texted the guy he was mustering with. He got a world of poo poo when he was finally found out, but they didn't mast him or anything. Just chewed him out for a while and made him check in directly with the commodore or deputy for a week or two. Then he basically became a ghost again.

Obama Africanus posted:

Charged for those tshirts? I guess I missed something. What kinda shirts? On like your GTC or something?

Commodore wanted to sponsor a boot camp division through this program the navy has. Decided he wanted to give them t-shirts. I was told to order them while my boss was on holiday leave and signed off on the PO. Shirts get made and shipped. Supply people on the ship push back two weeks after order saying they won't pay for it because it's not authorized. I dig out the instruction and show them that it isn't prohibited. This goes back and forth for a bit, sequester hits, and then everyone gets really tight about any spending. Instead of just paying for his t-shirts, he assigns some guy to investigate the matter. This is two months after the shirts were ordered and delivered and the vendor still hadn't been paid. I couldn't produce the hand written task list and they decided that all my emails briefing him about the shirts, their status, etc was insufficient to show I was directed to order them. So they told me I had two options: pay for the shirts myself or they would dock my pay the grand to pay for them. That motherfucker even got one of the tshirts as well. I never even saw them, but there are 75ish sailors running around in shirts I bought for them.

JAG said that my only option was probably to sue the commodore in small claims court if I wanted the money back. At the next command climate survey (which they didn't let me take) a few people blasted him about it, but he still never had the sack to admit that he personally had told me to order them or reimburse me at all for my costs.

Why have your own kids when you can just be an uncle? It's all the fun parts with none of the responsibility.

I agree. The problem is I still get hounded by my mom because she wants a granddaughter. I've got 7 god damned nephews and no nieces. Since I'm the only guy in my generation, they all think it's my job to get them a girl. My mom even gave me poo poo because I didn't even get her a girl grandpuppy.



Really, though, I'm selfish. I've quite enjoyed being an adult. I see my friends with the world crushing them down because they have kids to take care of. Their lives stopped and are mostly if not entirely on hold while they raise their children. I don't want to stop my life for kids. Not right now and I'm not sure ever.

Well, my previous doc was awesome, but he got poached by a med school in Alabama to go run the place. This new doc seems surprised every time I bring up poo poo that's been going on with me for years like it's something new to him. I get that I'm a newer patient, but it's getting ridiculous.

The problem with going to any other VA clinic is the nearest next one is the one that gave me a staph infection. I've got to go all the way there for a number of procedures anyways which loving blows.


What I need to do is get enough money coming in that I can just get a private plan and see a real doctor.

The loving Tampa VA is some type of hellish construction of suffering and despair. Like goddamn that poo poo is packed every loving day to the goddamn gills with people. I spend more time parking my loving car or using the dumb valet service they have there than I do actually talking to the loving doctor. I drive 40 minutes each way to basically hear "Ok well I'll schedule an appointment with this specialist thanks for showing up!" and away I go.


Thank loving christ I don't have anything actually seriously wrong with me or I'd probably be loving dead

Does the tampa place have a 24/7 emergency room? If so, :rip:, but if not, you can just hit up any hospital whenever the VA one is unavailable in an emergency and the VA will cover it.

They overnighted me my new meds. They don't normally overnight things to me. I got some liquid for treatment of intestinal ulcers. So either they did find something in the upper GI and just haven't told me or he's just throwing poo poo at a wall to see what works. Both seem pretty plausible to me.

Didn't see this get mentioned earlier:

Obama signed that VA bill to let us see real doctors on the 7th

The VA has 90 days to get this poo poo implemented, then we should be able to start seeing real doctors at their expense if we live more than 40 miles from a VA clinic/hospital or it will take more than 30 days to get an appointment. Also we are supposed to be getting some kind of "Choice" card. It has been 8 months and I still haven't been able to get a regular VA card, so we'll see how that works out.
