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?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ugh, the worst.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor ltc, and poor you!
I pay my rent by check, and also my massage therapist and cleaning people -- it saves them the fees from paying with Venmo or whatever. Bring back checks!
