I am teaching a class this semester, and the registrar's office tells me that I can either get the final exams emailed to me or pick up printed copies from the school, but not both. That's annoying.
Print them off at home?
This is the shit that annoys you thread, not the try and fix your problems thread. ;)Quote:

How does email cost them anything, FFS?!
It costs them time, I guess, or at least that's the excuse I was given. "Due to the high volume of exams, we are only able to do one or the other"Quote:

What year is it? Have the glass shop (not safelite please) request OEM. Otherwise ask for Pilkington or Fuyao. Pilkington makes the oem for toyota anyway. There really isnt too much of a difference. And if anything, you could pay the difference in cost to the shop if you insist on OEM. Around here, no one really cares because glass breaks yearly.Quote:

Urgent care is anything but urgent and prescriptions that call for dosing every six hours so you have to get up in the middle of the night.
Hope you aren't too banged up, but I am also sure you know how to safely dose yourself so that you don't have to follow the exact schedule.
Got a 2mm scratch on my sclera which hurts like a sonofabitch.Quote:

Curious who your insurance company is. I'm currently shopping for a new one.Quote:

Oof, I've been there a few times. I thought you were talking other drugs for other things. Heal up.Quote:

My insurer has two separate data bases on GP and Specialist docs I can select who are in-network. The data base on their site listed docs who no longer even worked in our region. Insurer’s CS dept quickly admitted this was a known problem, but their internal database was ‘regularly updated’. I said ok fine list some names for me with that specialty. She found 3 names on this ‘regularly updated’ list. I gently explained that those 3 specialists no longer worked in the region.
My gf’s mom in SoCal spent countless hours essentially trying to do the job of the ‘transfer specialist’ who theoretically was supposed to manage the red tape transfer of her husband from hospital to rehab center.
Thanks GOP for making sure we avoid the efficiencies inherent to a single payer system
Our local hospital and care network (was Centura, now CommonSpirit) is planning to drop my insurance (BCBS) at the end of the month.
I’ve had some health problems the last year and was supposed to start some treatments in June. Nothing major but stuff I wanna take care of. Looking like I’m fucked as I’ll likely have to travel hours and start over w/ new docs for good care, or wait until open season to change insurance if this goes through. Fucking BS.
(Actual) pro tip--take a dose before bedtime, next one when you wake up. Strict q6h dosing is for hospitals so the nurses have an excuse to wake you in the middle of the night.Quote:

Driving every day on I80 in the Sierra I treat a cracked windshield as an opportunity to get a (briefly) unpitted windshield for the cost of the deductible.
They put in a windshield. It’s pretty damn easy. None of mine have ever fallen out. I don’t see a problem here.Quote:

I'm in a similar boat. 52. only see docs for injuries. Changed insurance 3 times in the last 10 years or so and have never had a PCP or been seen for anything other than x-rays, etc. I can't imagine poke, prod and testing is going to reveal anything I want to know.Quote:
