That would be very interesting/suspicious if everybody else’s assessments went up but not theirs! Good thing sleuths are on it!
I am dealing with people who do not want to do their jobs. Which I totally get, but I do not want to do their jobs FOR THEM either….yet when I say “hi I flipped through the document and it literally took me six minutes to find four of these please find the remaining 19” they respond with “I don’t understand how you did that I searched for 20 minutes and then I looked for 20 more minutes” y’all. Y’ALL. I did the mysterious thing called “FLIPPING THROUGH EACH PAGE QUICKLY LOOKING FOR THAT NUMBER, yes there are 60 pages in the document but there are 1-4 lines per page it’s not that time consuming to glance at a page and see if the number is on that page or not omg wtf”
My day seems to be a lot of contacting people to say, this task is with you, can you do your part so I can then do mine?
Oh, those are my least favorite tasks, reminding people to do their jobs. Reason #1 why I do not want to be a manager, and even so I still sometimes get faced with it. Hasn't come up for me today, knock on wood (in one of our recent team huddles my boss said it looked like something would happen and I knocked on his desk and my coworker said "that's not wood" so that's our team dynamic)
I'm enjoying the fact that I'm not On Call this week because I will be for the next two following weeks, which means I need to time block my fucking calendar to plow through the giant pile of work I need to do. While also, like, eating a salad and doing an exercise.
So that's how this morning is going.
I'm just saying, Canada owes you more brownies.
they want me to send a check like I'm a godddamn Fuller Brush Salesman in 1951.
Oh, I find it particularly infuriating when companies make it difficult for you to give them money.

I got a bill from genetic testing (which is annoying because the doctor office said my insurance would cover it and if not it would be about $250…but somehow I owe almost $500 after insurance?) but the options it lists are send a check, or CALL THEM to pay by credit card. Like, what? What is this, the 1900s?? I’d expect a cutting edge genetics testing place to be able to take my payment whenever/wherever!
I'd *think* you could open their e-mail and blink.
they want me to send a check
I pay my rent by check. I also have 80+ year old landlords who have only raised the rent $100 in 17 years, so I find the expense of a stamp totally worth it.
Most of my doctors pay by check, some handwritten checks and envelopes, which is nuts. I pay some things by check, but via bill pay where my bank writes the actual check.
ltc probably has an ear infection. So, no school again today. She’s being seen by her pediatrician this afternoon.
