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.
Ooh I was done at 52! Go, being average! Choose being average!
Hooray team average! I just wish the migraines had stopped, too. They're not as bad (less likely to take me out for 3 days at a time), but still happening.
Fortunately, Pilates does a ton of this shit and has a lot of focus on grounded foot strength. Which is something I never thought about before I started Pilates. But the tendon that connects your big toe is different than the muscles on the outside of your foot and the ball of your foot, arch and heel all need specific integrated work.
I do wish I had time and $$ to get individual work on this. When I was 25 I damaged my dominant foot (first 2 toes shattered and lost half the middle toe). I get around well and have decent balance, but in recent years the tendon that goes from the arch around the inside of the ankle and up the calf has been a problem and it's likely because of the way I compensate for the lack of flex in the first 2 toes.
Humboldt Fog is me and Bob’s Cheese (as in, that’s our song but for cheese)!
Thanks to my suggestibility and this board, I had Humboldt Fog on a charcuterie board tonight.
I think we've cracked the whole cheese/mind control axis.
