I’m sure you were correct, every medical show has the issue come up at some point because it happens so frequently. Scrubs had a funny one with a lightbulb
I had someone try and tell me how to do my job today. Fun fact, theyve never done my job, also i have done my exact same job for 10+ years. **** off
I got some extra cash from the IRS for their delay in sending me the COVID $$$ from 2020. Found out later that they will follow up with a statement the next February letting you know you better damn well declare that interest on your taxes!
Here's the dumb thing that happened to me, today, but redacted to protect me from being sued by somebody's lawyer.

multiply that times 3-4 times a week. I can't imagine how it must be in Iowa now.
Last week, but a coworker couldn't tell the difference between Geneseo, IL, and Glencoe, MN on a piece of paper. I should charge $10 a question with the doozies she comes up with.
This could be a fun fill in the blank
Ya, 33 years living here it's time to move on. Moving closer to the daughter and her family, she has been dealing with cancer and we think it best to move closer to them. Will miss DC, but will not miss the drive home after a football game.
Congratulations and best wishes to your daughter for a full and speedy recovery.
Family logistics has really made me dread the holidays and I hate that
I do end user IT support so happens all the time in my job role. Today probably one of the dumbest things someone could do happened to me. A person who I have helped several times over the years was helped by 1 of my coworkers today. I get this random Teams message later in the day where she basically ranted and acused my coworker of being rude and some of the worst service she had had in X number of years. I didn't acknowledge it with a response and just copied it to my coworker so he was aware. Was a moment where I thought "why would you tell someone this? Dont you think that I'm probably going to let him know what you said about him? I then find out both our manager and team lead happened to be in the same room this person was in when my coworker helped them and didn't witness anything unprofessional about their interaction so I hope she goes to our manager next who will probably tell her that he was in the same room nearby and did not witness anything that would support her claim.
I was just dumbfounded how anyone would send that to someone in Teams or an email as it now creates a paper trail of what you said too. On top of that why you wouldn't assume that the person you are sending that too wouldn't tell their coworker about it either. Sadly this person is a manager too and should know better having probably dealt with complaints on people that report to or work with her. A part of me hopes she emails or reaches out again tomorrow about this and won't let it go so I can get our manager directly involved or better yet she goes directly to him next with the complaint and gets humbled a but when she finds out he witnessed their interaction today.

Guy in a Nissan truck flew around 3 cars on their right by using the bike lane to pass them on Ingersoll today.
He got stopped at a red light a few seconds later so he really made alot of progress in getting ahead of them.

My wife made a great point when we were discussing moving, she said "we do not need the kids now, but there will come a time when we will." That really resonated with me, there is really nothing here in DC beside a few friends. Most of our close friends have moved away or did not live here anyway. Our sons both live out of state, and it will give us a chance to spend more time with two of our grandkids.
I will say the cost difference between DC and Ames is unbelievable, anything halfway close to ours is twice the amount. Its either pay that price or buy a fixer upper and I do not have the patients for anymore. We found a house we both liked, northern part of Ames, down the road from our daughter, put in a bid, and they took it. We have a couple months to get our house on the market, sold and moved up there.
Yeah we stopped doing the drive to CR on Christmas Day thing several years ago. So thankful. Christmas Day is now pretty glorious, up for presents with the daughters who are 19 and 23, relax with a glass of red wine by 9 a.m. in my annual nod to the dad in 'A Christmas Story' and then make a big breakfast for everyone and chill the rest of the day.
The downside is planning the day we CAN make it back and get together with everyone, a logistical nightmare.
Do you live on my street?? Helped a neighbor move his from our street into his garage today.
Ours stayed put, unlike during the derecho. Reinforced it more than necessary after that, even said "oh yeah, she's not goin anywhere" after strapping it down.
