Look, I know your job, I use to work it. I got promoted which is why you now have a job. A job you suck at, by the way, given the fact that you can handle exactly half what I could (on your best day).

When I call over there and ask to speak to someone who isn't you, someone you take orders from, hanging up on me is not acceptable.

And then idiot number fucking two, you come over and act like calling management rather than calling for more abuse is some abrogation of my job responsibilities. Fuck you. With a rusty pipe.

I know my fucking job. I'm damned good at my fucking job. You are the same job title and code and idiot number one, and the fact that you've been here longer than that o

Are you guys playing battleship without inviting me?

All joking aside, I get that y'all are referring to varying levels of fluency, but where are these terms coming from, and where can I learn about them?

Inspired by a very recent post, I bring you my most annoying coworker.

She's a ham, full of the fat logic, and has built in excuses.

You know the type, 5'2" and somewhere north of 300 pounds. I know exactly how far north of there as we work in a hospital and she's been a patient for obesity related illnesses on more than one occassion. (And she's a bloody terrible patient at that.)

She never stands up if she can help it. She can't take the stairs anymore because of her knees. Of course, her arthritis is genetic and not because of her weight. She'd much rather roll her chair around everywhere than stand up, which has led to some hilarious faxing issues given that me standing at 5'6" puts m

I quit Monday. Made it two days, started binge eating, and ended up smoking half a cigarette. I figure I went from 20 a day for 12 years to none, I'm gonna have some difficulties. So, I get one a day for a few weeks. That was Tuesday.

Wednesday I was fine until I wasn't. Smoke or no smoke I spent about 4 hours crying hysterically. I guess that ticks the box for labile emotions. My day ended with swollen eyes and a bloody nose (you really can cry too hard).

I'm having trouble sleeping, even with anti-anxiety pills (which have done fuck-all for my emotional issues ATM). I'm nonstop twitchy.

On the upside, I have no idea what to do with my twitchy hands and coupled with the difficulty stayin

Call this one a personal pledge made public. Or maybe a bit of mental list making. Or maybe even a cry for help and reassurance. I don't even know what it is, but I feel compelled to write it.

I've been a more or less pack a day smoker for more than 10 years now. I've been smoking long enough that I'm not really sure that I remember what it was like to be a nonsmoker. And that kind of scares me.

I'm depressed. I've been suffering from depression for 20 years now. I recently made a list of all the things I hate about myself, the things that make me more depressed. The list wasn't really that short. And there are a lot of things on it that I can't change, at least, not right now.

The few

So total clickbait title. I know. It was on purpose.

I come before you today to stand as a warning. The weather is so nice outside, it feels good to let the sun warm up your muscles as you go or a walk, a hike, or a jog.

But!

If your bug repellent is from last year, replace it. Really.

Mine was ineffective on my last hike. I have nearly a dozen 'squito bites on my bum alone.

And west Nile virus. And I am a little miserable.

So replace your bug spray and sunscreen yearly folks! Swollen lymph nodes hurt!

(No worries about me, my doctor said it sounds mild and just to monitor symptoms till it passes. It's not as deadly as they'd have you believe.)

(P.s. if you didn't laugh a little by

I know, I know, there's at least one of these posts a week, and my usual answer is, they are there if you need them, bonus burn if you don't.

But I run into an issue on my off days sometimes and I want the collective brain power to help me on this.

So, 32F 161.6 lbs (woot!) 5'6" tall.

My calorie counts are 1380, I use MFP, and generally do a pretty good job reaching my goal. I also weight train at the gym a few times a week, and go walking in the nature preserve a couple times a week.

Every so often, I both weight train and go walking in the same 'day'. Today, according to mapmyfitness and my heart rate monitor, I burned close to 1900 calories. Which is actually above my TDEE. (I wal

I recently went out of town on vacation. I haven't had one in years so I decided that I wasn't counting calories.

When we left, I weighed 163.8. This is down from an all time high of 180, and my MFP start weight of 175ish.

We got back Friday morning and I weighed out of curiosity. Between not counting, restaurant food, and the onset of shark week (at the beach, tee hee) I knew that I'd have some weight gain.

I weighed 170 lbs again, but I just noted it as a curiosity because I've learned enough about CICO to know that there's no way on earth I'd eaten that much. I logged it somewhere other than MFP, and decided to weigh every afternoon after I woke and peed (I work nights).

Friday aftern

I hike 2-3 times a week for CV health. I can see improvements from one session to the next, and tend to increase my distance by .25 miles each time.

Today would have been 1.75 miles, but after the parking lot wandered off on me (I swear) I ended up doing 2.3!

I'm so high on endorphins it should be illegal. I love when the exercise becomes its own reward!

I huffed and puffed less than usual even with the extra .5 miles, and shaved some time of my average mile as well.

Cue silly dancing in the shower.

A while back I screwed up my right shoulder pretty bad. Sx months later I finally got treatment and physical therapy for it (thanks workman's comp) but I ended up with some really bad atrophy on my right side.

While this was partially corrected in PT, I still have a problem with it and it's exacerbating some preexisting back problems.

I'm doing planks right now to help strengthen my core (old back problem) and I figured doing it while making sure my scapula doesn't wing up will help with my right sided weakness somewhat.

What other options should I look into? (Push ups aren't currently an option because I really don't have the strength on that side and it collapses after a few.)

My first post here, and I don't understand green text, so sorry.

For background I work in a tiny community hospital in an area that used to be prosperous but now isn't. Think Detroit when the auto industry crashed, but not as severe. I'm not from here, but it's a fairly common story in this part of the south.

We had a patient who came in DKA. That's diabetic keto acidosis for those of you who aren't in the know. It's when your blood sugar gets so high and stays that way for long enough (depending on the patient) that your body freaks and pulls the fire alarm to try and get help.

After a few days in ICU to correct the DKA she came to my department for inpatient education for "new onset DM
