I got a TV yesterday. Samsung series 7. The guy really, really wanted to sell me a series 8 for $350 more (drat near double what i was paying for the series 7). He showed me the difference between 60hz and 120hz and how it smooths out motion blur (I think that's what he was showing me) but for $350? you could swap the two tvs out of my apartment interchangeably and i probably wouldn't know the difference.

Was walking around DC tonight and went to the waterfront metro. Was with a friend of mine (a woman). Saw a woman outside of the entry gate thing looking really uncomfortable. I asked the woman with me to signal her and make sure she’s okay. Before she had the chance some dude, drunk? high? crazy? All of the above, started screaming at her talking about how he was gonna gently caress her under the train and leave her brains on the tracks and poo poo. So my friend and I went and stood with her. Took metro police like 10 loving minutes to show up. And the guys in the booth didn’t really seem interested in helping at all. They just stayed in their booth. It must suck to be a woman in a world with men. E: she said the dude followed her for several metro stations and was sitting next to her or across from her and just saying horrible nasty poo poo. What the gently caress man... nobody should have to experience that! Woofer fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Mar 5, 2020 |

I read that 18% of all federal workers in DC live in Montgomery County, where three covid cases have been confirmed. Hell yeah the plague is definitely here y’all.

I haven’t slept good consistently for the last decade or so. I’ve been given pills to help me sleep. I’ve done sleep studies. I’ve read stuff on proper sleep hygiene and put that stuff into practice. Nothing has ever worked. Recently I figured out something that actually does help. Edibles. I sleep through the night. I don’t wake up groggy. And I’m not risking getting addicted to something that could kill me. I wish I had tried edibles as a sleep aid sooner.

I’m also in DC, at the Dept of Health of all places. Our COO just put out a video to all employees and he said “this is challenging for our nation, but our work goes on. Your work now is more important than ever, as we support our federal clients as they deal with keeping our country safe.” He goes on to mention how he is communicating with CDC to get guidance. Fuuuuuuck yoooooou. E: and I just saw some lady coughing all over the loving salad bar glass. Like yo, your goddamn boiled eggs aren’t so important that you can’t put the spoon down and cover your loving mouth. Jesus Christ, people.

The girl I share an office with has been coughing her rear end off for over a week. She took three days off last week because she was sick. She asked our manager if she could go home and telework and the manager said no, because she was sick last week and “coughs tend to linger.”

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/person-struck-by-train-at-court-house-metro-station/2203296/ I don’t think I told the thread, but this is the girl I’ve been seeing for the last... umm... like 18 months? Well they took her to GW. The bills have started trickling in and they are charging her loving five figures because GW is out of network. She has a loving seizure and got hit by a goddamn train and had no say so over where the gently caress they took her. gently caress this stupid country. Let it burn.

What the gently caress man. Nobody should burst into tears because they got medical care. First time something like this is hitting this close to me and gently caress... it’s just hopeless and deflating. gently caress this country. I hope everyone keeping this stupid poo poo the status quo get coronavirus and die. gently caress em.

Fallom posted:I’m sorry. I’ve heard that insurance companies will sometimes decide to cover out of network emergency visits but it will be an uphill battle. Are there any patient advocate type organizations that do that? She’s not the type to go to battle over something like this, and I’ll likely just flip the gently caress out.

How is this not loving prosecutable. How is this not the very goddamn definition of rackateering. SHE EVEN loving HAS INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!! What the gently caress else is she supposed to loving do? Just make her epilepsy loving disappear? Keep control of herself during a goddamn seizure? Convince the medics to not take her to the hospital when half her loving face is missing? I’m just venting. I don’t expect any of these questions to have answers. gently caress man. gently caress. What else was she supposed to do...

HR emailed me asking how much an Uber is on my morning commute since I’d rather not take the metro, because they will see if they can cover part of the cost. I told them how much and asked if it would be an offer extended to other employees that rely solely on the metro, since I’m in no way special and not the only one impacted, not to mention part of a low-risk of fatality demographic. JUST LET US loving TELEWORK!!! e: gently caress this just doesn't seem like a good time to have huge loving medical bills. Woofer fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Mar 12, 2020 |

My apartment management company changed our payment portal from whatever to entrada. It got implemented since last month’s rent was paid. Not a single auto draft went through in the new system for any resident at any of the dozen or so properties they own in northern VA.

Kind of a seriouspost: Since everyone is on telework status and nobody is in the office, would I be socially irresponsible if I went to the office to work? I live a 10 minute walk away and could even take Monty. I just need a change of scenery. And since I live in a studio it means my office is also my bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc. which is a bummer.

Yeah I figured it wasn’t a good idea. There are separate cubes but it’s still open air. Admittedly I was kind of just fishing for someone to say it’s not a big deal. Maybe I’ll just start breaking down my workstation every evening like I’m leaving the office instead of leaving it in eyesight 24/7. Feeling like I’m always at work is stressing me out (on top of everything else that is stressful right now).

Got promoted and a 15% raise today. And also a bonus that will be vested in 3 years. In the meantime it’s invested in the market lol

Nick Soapdish posted:True, this might turn out the best for him. I suppose it was more just a reflex response to getting any in the markets during this time of them trying to do any and everything to keep the number green Yeah I’m fine with it being invested in the market, it’s just funny timing. All things considered though having my bonus now and setting it aside as a nest egg would make me feel a little more comfortable. Then again I guess a promotion and raise is a sign of job security.

When I got my wisdom teeth out it was a reminder that I should never do hard drugs because I really, really enjoyed the gas and would stay that way if I could. I vaguely remember hanging my head out of my mom’s car window singing I Got The Power with a mouth full of blood and gauze. E: now that I think of it, this was my first experience with anything other than weed so maybe that’s what kicked off my love affair with benzos.

I don’t have a fan in my apt so if my window isn’t open my AC has a fan mode to circulate air. But not all ACs have fan modes so before this I would run it even if the temp wasn’t an issue. Still air bothers me a lot for some reason.
