Hope you feel better soon @sufferlandrian
I'm having my favorite late night meal of a baked potato and chili from Wendy's. I know it's cheaper and healthier if I make it myself but I love Wendy's

I've always wondered.... do people who work the nightshift eat breakfast during their lunch break... since that's early morning, right?
Or do you eat breakfast after you get off work?
Or.... j/k

That's when I 'break' my 'fast' too.... I am pretty sure that's why they call it "breakfast". Although, now it's just my 8pm-12am meal in my diary.

Oh I don't usually eat typical breakfast food. It's just my first meal. I like cereal most as a snack or after workout noms.0

I feel like throwing up.0

Now I feel better!
Stupid allergies with their post nasal drip nonsense!
Another 12 hours! YAY! And it's only Monday...
I'll be waiting for Gerwick to be calling in on Wednesday or Thursday.

@lilaclovebird - i hope that whatever this odd discovery of your is turns out to be something insignificant.
I've found out firsthand this past month that it pretty much sux to know for certain that something ain't right, but not to know what it is.
truly glad to be back on evenings...especially post DST, when I can go out and walk in the remaining daylight after everybody else has gone home. I'm gonna enjoy this little grace period between now and when the bugs show up as much as I possibly can.
i've been floating back and forth between 201 and 201.8 for a few days now. the last time I weighed less than 200, I was 21/22 years old at the most. Ronald Reagan was still President.
At the time, I think I even owned one pair of size 34 jeans.
I'm down to easily fitting into 36's now - down from 42 this time last year.
Oh, and when I hit 199, that'll be the 80 pound mark for me as well.
I'm holding myself to making that mark within the next 7 to 10 days.
i've GOT this.
how's everybody else? other than quiet, that is....

Not dead yet.
Congratulations on your loss so far! I'm hoping to be able to make a BIG credit card payment this month and get this thing under freaking control.0 -

You definitely have this!!
I'm getting over my head cold but now the trees are in full bloom so now I got allergies. And they are causing my cough to hang around. It needs to GTFO. I'm over it.
Other than that, got two shifts of work before my weekend off.

Had my ultrasound this morning. Good news and bad news...mostly bad news...
Good news: I don't have anything cancerous lumps/bumps and the radiologist was not worried at all.
Bad news:
1) My breasts are mostly mammary tissue and not really any fat. So, I can lower my body fat percentage all I want and it is entirely likely that my breasts wont get much smaller than they are.
2) They thoroughly examined me and have NO idea why I am experiencing this pain. So I get to live with the pain, taking otc pain relievers, and there will be a follow up in 3 months.

I'm sooo glad to hear that the radiologist didn't find anything of worry. But I'm sorry you are kinda just left with this pain with no explanation. I'd be frustrated with that answer.
Have you looked into whether your health insurance will cover reduction? I want to say you told us once before but I can't for the life of me remember what you had said. I can imagine that more weight you lose (yay!!), the more they will become a strain on your frame. I'd think they def do it then.0 -
@lilaclovebird - i can totally relate to your frustration regarding the pain situation.
i'm on the back end of this whole groin/quad thing, and while i'm pretty much completely back to my usual routine without any of the pain i was experiencing for a few weeks there, i have this HUGE patch of numbness/pins and needles from just above my left knee up my leg to my thigh. it's more of a nagging irritation than what I'd call pain, but it never goes away.
and nobody seems to be in any hurry to explain that, either.
we do have this tendency to think that doctors should have an explanation and a fix for everything, and when they don't...well, it's frustrating and it pisses us off. (i'm speaking for myself, but it sounds like you're feeling the same feels.)
as ratios of bad news to good news go, though...considering what was going through your head, it sounds like you came out better than expected.
hang in there.0 -

Well the radiologist wants to follow up in 3 months and I will likely still have the pain. It's more annoying than anything else and I'm for sure going to go bra shopping.
If I continue to document pain in the areas where I am experiencing it, it is very likely I will be referred to a plastic surgeon and evaluated for the possibility of a reduction.
With the MINIMUM amount that the insurance would require removed for the procedure to be covered, I would be put in a small D/Large C category which would be FABULOUS!
Until then, I need to continue to document my frustrations and aches/pains and whatnot.
I've regained a pound so I'm back up to 164 but I cut back on my steps and removed my HIIT workouts for a while. Time to get back on it.
There is a possibility of an evening shift slot opening up. I am not sure if I will take it or not though.
The Lieutenant came and talked to me and mentioned that we will be sending cadets into the academy again next year. We will be doing 2 every year after that. He asked if I would put in for it. I said "I might, yes." and he said to keep my eyes open. I said I definitely will on his recommendation.
So there it is. My supervisor wants to lose me, but only if I'm moving up to be a cop. 0 -
sorry to hear about your pain....that's awesome that your supervisor wants you to grow with the dept, and it sounds like he would put in a good word for you on the patrol side0
-
It's awesome that your supervisor came and mentioned that to you. He definitely thinks highly of you
The only exciting thing I got going on is that I ate way too many calories today....0 -

Me too...
I am getting super miffed at my coworker PSO Gerwick. She keeps calling in using Migraines as her excuse and it's pissing me OFF. I'm not currently directly affected but I still want to murder...

...and then there's the guy who submits a support ticket and then calls the helpdesk line less than five minutes later, after having received an acknowledgement, to make sure i got the ticket.
"no, no, no...that's quite alright. call as often as you like. just know that the time i spend chit-chatting with you on the phone is time i'm NOT spending fixing your problem, dumba$$."0 -
Some people make me question my sanity. And this is why when my hubs and I finally retire, we'll probably move far, far away lmao0

I'm just over here...checking the same building every hour because I was told to, via email, by the lieutenant.
I'm close to 100% sure that the risk of a fire starting in that building is DRASTICALLY diminished by the fact that there are 0 people in the area.... but what do I know? I just work here....

I use this phrase at least once a shift

I had to grab the phone out of a techs hand one time and tell the person on the line, "I have an emergency going on and my tech doesn't have time to tell you 100 times that she can't diagnose it over the phone! I need her help saving this one!" Then I hung up on them.0 -

and the sad thing about this? the sad thing is that the person on the other end of that phone call didn't come to their senses and have an epiphany regarding the futility of that phone conversation. they didn't think to themselves, "wow...he's right. if i want to get to the bottom of this, I really need to be more proactive about it than just making a phone call and expecting miracles. i should probably get up and actually DO something."
nope. the person on the other end of that call thought to themselves, "wow...the nerve of that guy! how rude!"
...and then they went right on being the *kitten* they were up to that point, and ever since.
in fact, I probably passed them on Gallatin Pike earlier today, making a left turn from the left lane of an expressway with a turn lane completely empty to their left that they couldn't bother to use.0 -
@hamptontom I absolutely agree. That's probably exactly what that person thought when the phone conversation ended. My faith in humanity is diminishing faster and faster as the years tick by.0

Sometimes you want to write stuff in records but you know the medical board doesn't share your humor. We had a dog in tonight that had his rectum torn in a dog fight. You want so bad to put, "That *kitten* tore him a new butt hole". However. I'm sure if it was ever reviewed, I would be the only one laughing.0

i dunno, man...i mean, if it's your dog, maybe you're a little too close, but that's funny, right there.0
