See the Dr today. There's a procedure I'm going to have to have, so we'll start off at mildly rustled (Lvl 1). Dr wants to do it tomorrow morning, cool, let's get this done with. As I'm leaving the office I call the wife and tell her and she reminds me that SHE has a Dr appointment tomorrow....
I call the Dr back, they tell me there aren't any openings on Friday at the surgical center. Great.. Let's upgrade to a level 2 rustle. Call the wife back, she calls and reschedules her appointment for next week. I get home call some co workers and have to find coverage for a meeting tomorrow as I suspect I will not feel like it after minor surgery. Everything is set...
6pm - surgery center calls to confirm my appointment, for FRIDAY morning. Because the Dr had a family situation come up , and they found time on Friday miraculously...
Level 3 rustle unlocked....

Went to the doctor for a shoulder problem. They did an X-ray and said it was fine. They gave me a list of physical therapy exercises to do. He also gave me an order for an MRI to get in case the physical therapy didn’t work. That way i wouldn’t have to come in for an extra visit for him to just say, go get an MRI. I end up booking the MRI, but they call me the day before to say insurance denied it because I didn’t get a post physical therapy follow with the doctor. So now I have to waste more time and money just to have the doctor say “yep, go get the MRI”.

This same shit happened to me. The cherry on top, after wasting all that time will be when you pay more out of pocket than it would have costed if you paid the cash price and didn't involve those parasites at all.

Dearest Microsoft,
Thank you for taking the initiative and changing the way I view file folders randomly every few weeks, despite my having set them to my liking hundreds of times. I am sure that you know better than I do what is most pleasing to my eye and most efficient for my productivity. Who knew that giant folders with thumbnails on them was so much easier to process for my tiny brain than the "List" mode that I have been using for decades? I particularly like how every time you send me one of your wonderful updates I can expect to have to change it back to my inefficient ways, much like having to re-establish all those pesky default "Open with..." preferences that I know would open so much better in your Microsoft products but for some reason I keep trying to use inferior third-party programs. Not to mention every 6 months or so taking it upon yourself to re-organize my desktop icons. I'm sure I needed to clean them up anyway!
And let's not get me started on the way you handle DisplayPort connections; making the computer think I removed the monitor completely and never intend to bring it back when I power it off is pure and utter genius! There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that makes me love you more than that simple quirk of your operating system.
With love,
Void

I debated just going ahead and paying for it. Technically, I haven’t met my deductible yet so I’m going to pay for it anyways. But I want the cost of it to go toward my deductible.

A pivoting walkway that I did the roof for that went to a river boat in Baton Rouge collapsed. Not the roof but the actual walkway. The fabricator called me today. No my problem, it passed inspection when fabbed and installed 30 years ago. The casino has been closed for a number of years and the walkway pivots with the river stage. I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. Not my problem.
As can clearly be seen the roof is still intact. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Looks like the river is really high and the walkway pivots with the closed casino so maintenace. River is real high that paved area is the top of the levee which is normally a large vertical distance from the river.

Hell, that roof looks so good after 30 years that I'd be using that as one of my selling points. Look, the whole fucking thing collapsed but my roof is still perfect! Pay me, and your roof can last just like that one did!

walked out on to my front porch, a raggedly looking black cat just starts walking into my yard. i yell at it and it stops for a second then just keeps walking around to the side of the house. i go back inside to put on shoes and go see where it went. on that side of the house, there is a crawl space access door. the cat has its paw on top of the door trying to pull it open. never seen a cat trying to break into anything. now going to have to latches or something on the access doors.

Dead end street, like only 5 neighbours, little traffic. But by god the second i try to take a trash bag out shirtless, fucking Bob is driving out and even worse wants to stop and wave.
Does it look like I'm in the state to wanting to be making niceties Bob? No, watch the road and not me on my own land

Advertisements.
I hate commercials.
So many pages on the iPhone look like browser windows from before we had ad-blockers. Over 1/3rd the of the screen was covered by ads on a recent Newsweek article I tried to read through.
Ads on streaming services.
Ads on Facebook reels.
Ads in video games (Death Stranding).
YouTube’s (thankfully failing) war on ad-blockers.
Remember when streaming services (Netflix, Prime) were advertised as ad free? Fuck those were good times.

Keyboard on my laptop, the function keys (F1-F12) do double duty for other things like muting the mic, changing brightness, etc. The problem is, to use the F keys, you have to hit the function button at the same time instead of the other way round. Fuck that shit, I use F5 refresh more than all the other options combined. There's one F key with nothing else tied to it and it's F9. What the fuck does F9 even do? I need F4 and F5 to be easy to access. F9 might be the key you use to bring up the boot settings. OK fine so I need 3 of them.
Another one. Auto reply out of office emails. Look, nobody gives a flying fuck that you aren't currently chained to your desk. Especially when you're the 10th CC on an email going out to a huge list. No one is ever actually away from their email anymore. At least those auto replies have gotten smart enough to only send the message once.
