Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(I feel really good about the progress I'm making everywhere else but I literally cannot do one single sit-up.)
That was me when I started Pilates. "Someday I'll be able to do a roll-up without the foot strap."
That day did come. The nice thing about exercise is that slow incremental change will accrue into new competence.
Ugh I dunno—I’ve been lifting weights for nearly two years now and I’m not sure I can lift any more than when I started. I mean, I also have lost 15-20 pounds during that time. But still. Beast mode it ain’t.
Mmmmmm, fog. One of my all-time fave cheeses.
In Stupid Things are Stupid news:
I got a letter (in the Actual Mail) from my insurance company that One Medical billed the wrong BCBS for my last physical back in April. (Fortunately it was a letter of the "you don't have to fix this because it's not your fault" variety.) Now I get that BCBS is massive and there are a zillion regional plan variations and it's probably incredibly common for doctor's offices to click the wrong thing, BUT...
One Medical is owned by Amazon. I am an Amazon employee on an Amazon-provided insurance plan. My One Medical membership is an Amazon employee benefit. There should be ZERO confusion about who is paying for all of this.
Nice job making it simple, guys.
That's infuriating, Jess.
Trying to remember if I have actually had Humboldt Fog. Possibly not. I tend to be wary of goat cheese, - when it's good it's good but when it's too goaty it's not something I'd choose to eat. I did have Breakfast Cheese for breakfast today, which is always a treat.
Timelies all!
Got my flu shot this morning. Arm feels pretty good. Now I have to figure out when to get a covid shot.
We are now expected to write self-assessments for the close out part of our employee evaluations. Besides the fact that I have no idea how to describe my achievements, I'm supposed to tie these achievements to the three main areas of interest. These areas do not fit what I do at all. I process samples for products other people use in experiments. Oh, well, at least it's just my boss who reads it, and he thinks I'm doing an excellent job.(I'm not going to go into how the ratings system has been changed.)
Ugh, self-assessments, always getting more arbitrary and stupid
I don’t think I’ve had Humboldt Fog, but I seem to recall a cheesemonger video about it. She liked it a lot.
I have become a convert to using AI to write self-assessments. Braindump all the things you can remember that you did, make the stupid robot help write it.
