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.

Yay good health news!

Because I’ve had localization handed to me, I now have 7am meetings. I’m not okay with this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Very happy about the round of health news and screenings for msbelle and brenda.

{exhales}

Oh. My. GOD! After ten days, four phone calls (each fighting my way through phone trees and yelling Customer Representative) and two chats with eight different customer service reps for a sum total of probably seven hours of working on this, I have finally gotten my AT&T account in my name, and can actually log in to the account.

The first rep I talked to was pretty helpful in getting the account (which JZ had started) moved over to my name. But somewhere about rep number five I inadvertently canceled Emmett's phone plan. And while rep number 6 did help me to identify the source of the problem, she wasn't able to fix it. However, with that information I did a workaround which was successful and online chat with rep 8 allowed me to:

Pay off my bill online.
Set up autopay (to my checking account so I won't have to update it with a new card issuance).
Reactivate Emmett's phone.
And - most importantly - set up international plans for Matilda and myself before our trip.

This has been an issue dogging me for the last 18 months since JZ died.

Halle-fuckin'-luah!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

What an onerous task! Done! ✅

Fuck yeah!

Thanks! I needed that check mark.

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

So glad you finally have that all straightened out!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

set up international plans for Matilda

I'm assuming Matilda's phone is locked to AT&T. Is it worth her while to get a local phone and data plan?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for good health news!

Mr. S is here for an overnight visit. He's kinda unfocused, which has been typical lately.

As for Monday, just gonna stay home. I just hope our Tr*mp-loving neighbor doesn't blast the tv on high(like he did at 2 am on Election night)

Thrive to spite them

Yay ATT rep that finally fixed things!

I got off work and was sitting in the break room unwinding for a few minutes and saw the Snoop Dogg news.

My reaction was pretty much ????!?!? Snoop Dogg? ?? Performed at the "Crypto Ball"??? SNOOP DOGG performed at Trump event?

.... He performed BOB MARLEY SONGS? at a Trump event?

I said all of that outloud and one of my just out of high school co workers replied "that's fire!"

I was like...no no it is not "fire" . He kind of explained "no I meant performing Bob Marley songs not the Trump thing."

What is it about Trump?

Also I read Paramount may drop the lawsuit because they will want to make a merger and will need approval.

I still don't understand how Trump became this powerful. He is a gross , weird , old man who keeps running businesses into bankruptcy.

Can he just ascend already?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am ignoring the news for the time being.

Re: tankless water heater, I liked mine fine, UNTIL we got the heat pumps and no longer have anything heating up the basement. The water comes out ice cold (kind of nice if what you want is a cold glass of water) and takes a WHILE to heat up. I assume this will not be the case in the summer.

Same. I'm spending the long weekend watching horror movies and waiting for the results from my breast MRI . I know I won't get them until Tuesday because of the holiday weekend, but that doesn't stop me from constantly refreshing my email.

Tonight I take my first shot of Wegovy. No-terrible-side-effects ~ma please?
