LOL... I am an insurance agent - feel free to project any bad juju onto me. I am used to it!
The agent in the next office had chic-fil- a for lunch. It smells SOOO GOOD! I am thinking about knocking her out and taking her stupid waffle fries!!!
No, not your kind of rep. The kind who refuses to honor a prior authorization from the outside vendor that you make us use for Chemotherapy drugs. They authorized the drug for six months and insurance X only paid one date. Umm, no, I am looking at their site at what was emailed to you and to us. I ended up calling the pre Auth people to get them to argue for me. I was on the verge of throwing my coffee mug.1 -

Plate in the Bathroom Girl was in there washing a knife a few minutes ago. I bit my tongue to keep from telling her how gross I find that. I was actually mad at an insurance rep and I didn't want to take out on her.
can you send an anonymous note? Type written and slipped into her top desk drawer?
"We know you eat in the bathroom... We are watching you.... MUAHAHAHAHA"
Hahaha. Mel, PLEASE do this!0 -

I don't think so.. She has an office, not a cubicle. Someone would see me going in. The next time she leaves the plate in the bathroom, I may put a post it on it: "This is gross. The break room is at the end of the hall. The room with all of the windows and dish detergent by the sink."2 -

LOL!
I wonder why she feels the need to clean the utensils in the bathroom too? Isn't there a community break room with a sink?
Just read that Mel addressed this.0 -

Actually there are three community break rooms on my floor. She is simply not willing to walk that far for the sake of hygiene.0 -
I skip exercise for any reason I can think of. I have fibromyalgia and am in such pain, although I know exercise is important.5

I am a hot mess. Throw darts at me and you will hit both literal and figurative scar tissue.
My dad didn't believe in things like hospitals and physical therapy for injuries, so by the time I got actual medical help I was:
(1) an adult,
(2) obese, on the edge of morbidly obese,
(3) malnourished (somehow),
(3) infertile,
(4) suicidally and perpetually depressed, and
(5) half-crippled from a triple-twist (plus neck hump, plus neck vertebrae aligned *backwards*, somehow) in my spinal column.
Fortunately, my mom recognized #4 for the ticking time bomb it was and got me a therapist as a teenager. But it was the last one that did me in. Otherwise I might have just kept going like I was going. I have no idea where I'd be now if that happened.
By the time I realized there was something terrible wrong with my spine, I'd already lost 2/3 of the weight I needed to lose by sheer effort of will and exercising until near-unconsciousness. (Don't do that, by the way. The therapist and I have had words over this and what does and doesn't constitute anorexia.) And by "realized there was something wrong with my spine," I mean, "in so much pain at 25 that I could only take distances 10 steps at a time before sitting down."
It's been four years since then. I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not obese anymore, or malnourished (turns out my childhood diet of meat, cheese and little else wasn't good for me--who knew?), or even infertile--I got into a good OBGYN and an orthopedist who messes with my hips now and then. When I was nine, my abdomen (stomach, uterus, cervix, ovaries) was one long interconnected line of scar tissue. (It hurt. All the time. Also, it bled out a lot.) My stomach got better once I started eating better; the scarring's getting better with hormones and exercises (and other, nastier treatments, but hey...results). The hump came out of my neck last week, and my neck's going the right way again, so I only have---er---three other curves to tackle. *sigh* I walk, but I can't run. I can do karate twice a week, though, so it's getting better. It just feels so damn slow.
I sometimes daydream about having parents who'd actually take their child with broken bones to the hospital and physical therapy and whatnot, but that was not my life. (I didn't realize it at the time, but mom was as bad off as I was--she broke her neck(!) and my dad didn't even take her in.) I'm glad I don't talk to my dad or his family anymore.
I have an incredibly long way to go. Days like today feel like a death march. But hey, here's me. Marching.

Good for you, getting the help you need, no matter how late. I just hope most of it is reverisble! No matter how slow it is going, at least it is going. Glad you are here.3

In other news, I bought the yoga classes and to my pleasant surprise, I have a year to use them instead of 6 months.5

I love FFDP. I play it on my Pandora at work all the time.1 -
I ate what I logged and logged what I ate yesterday. I stayed out of the Cherrific Cheesecake ice cream in my freezer. I did extra cardio. Day 1 of doing things right. Only 73 to go!8

I took the kids to breastfeeding group so I could rant about Ellie still (at 8.5 months old) feeding every two hours in the night and refusing most food in the day. I am knackered! Nobody could give me any magical solutions but I feel better for venting, and realised it's pretty common too.
I just feel like I'm putting so much on hold until sleep is better and she can manage without me for a little bit. I've still not been anywhere on my own so no swimming or exercise classes can happen, and I've still not made real efforts to lose those last 15 pounds asI don't drink tea or coffee, chocolate is what gets me through. I'm not ready to give it up!!6 -

It's going to get better, Spam. I feel for you and I wish I could be more help, but it is going to pass.0
