We all have a bit of that "Grumpy Ole Bastard" in us, so I vote for letting Wessa censor our rants if they go too far. I enjoy reading them.

Good evening all-

Currently at the airport waiting for my flight to begin boarding. Good grief, there's a lot of people that fly in their pajamas...

I just realized I didn’t post this here yesterday, I got a call from my ophthalmologist's tech yesterday afternoon. The caller ID showed the doctors office and I immediately thought oh boy, this is not good. When I answered, she stated the conversation with “this is Shelby from Center for Sight, don’t freak out”. I had to chuckle at that and told her I was already sitting down so give it to me. She went on to tell me she had spoken directly with the retina specialist and voiced my concerns over waiting until the 26th to see him.

That doc looked at the current retina pics along with the past several years worth and said he didn’t see anything of immediate concern. He would have told me to come back on the 26th if I had seen him yesterday. He said that will give the hemorrhage time to heal so he can get a better look. Call his office immediately if there is any more floaters or sudden vision changes and he will get me right in but he sees no cause for concern right now and to tell me this is actually pretty common in guys my age and to get my BP checked. My ophthalmologist also asked about BP.

My primary has been keeping an eye on my BP as my diastolic does run a little high but he hasn’t put me on any BP meds. Sounds like that may need to change.

Keep an eye on the BP Blevin. Glad the Doc isn't too concerned.

Dammit RJ. No AC is no good. Hopefully they get you cooling soon.

Martin64 said: ↑

That sucks. I got in the habit of once a year check up on the ac. These guys do a pretty good job.
Click to expand...

Yep, I do this too here in GA. With my house, MIL's house, and a couple rental houses, I have a guy that does yearly check-ups. I've pushed enough work to him over the years, he answers whenever I call.

Mine started at 1600 yesterday now in vacay mode until the 25th.... going to Hawaii....side note had a lymph node biopsy this morning. Will have results in "3-5 business days".

Hopefully good news on the biopsy. Enjoy your vacation. Hawaii and Montana are the only States I haven't been to.

Moron report:
New payroll person can’t do basic math and is trying to screw me out of vacation pay
Figuring things out on a 4/10 schedule and not a 5/8 is too much.
Click to expand...

Our payroll was contracted out 8 years ago and it's only correct if I don't work any OT or DT. Math is a foreign concept for them. I'm still owed OT/DT from May. It's beyond frustrating.

Always enjoy a good rant story and moron reports. Don't hesitate to share. It's good that your supervisor backed you. What's up with him going to the supervisor to complain? That'd earn him a nickname such as Cupcake or worse.

It’s always nice when people are on the same page when it comes to payroll-HR.
Click to expand...

I have never liked our HR. Always being treated like you did something wrong. Until this past week or so with getting wife on my health insurance. It took less than week, even with long weekend. I tried stopping in at HR yesterday to say thank you, but they were all ready gone.
Anything having to do with insurance issues stresses me out.

Good morning folks! I’ve got to finish up the grass today before I get ready to leave again Monday I’m possibly going to have to do a little backtracking on this one. The first part is going to be pretty normal as far as Hartford. But there’s a problem where I was originally going in NH so they’ve reached out to a rescue in yaphank ny that’s pretty far out on Long Island I have never stopped and stayed on the island not my kind of country. But that’s pretty close to the hamptons I am a little curious and it’s getting a little hot to go fly fishing in the east.
