[Lilianna23]

I have almost zero hope of catching up on this thread and at work.

Back to the office again this morning. Ah corporate zombieland…

Catch yaz all later!

You KNOW this thread moves at a breakneck pace!

 

[Lilianna23]

Haha! He never ages because he’s had white hair since ‘78! . That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it!
If the SC Rangers are ever within holler’n distance, GO SEE THEM! With or without Steve. I’ve never been able to catch him with them, and I’ve seen them now 3-4 times. They drop in my neck of the woods every couple years or so.

Looks like the weather has broken for most of the country. It was warmish in KC yesterday. Off to TX today so I’m sure it’s warm there. The Spoon was busy yesterday! Can’t fully catch up. Will leave you with the MZ and talk later!

Everyone have a great day!

I'll look to see if they have a website!

It's been unseasonably warm here the past few days. In the 60s!

Beautiful MZ!

I found a recipe for no knead bread.... it has a very long raise time like 12 to 18 hours. I may give it a shot. Only has flour yeast water and salt in it.

I would love to make.sourdough...but I have zero patience for the feed rest feed fold rest feed....oops mold now it has to be thrown away bs it requires

My favorite bread to make is a no knead. I just stir it up, cover, let it sit on the counter overnight, and bake. It's really versatile, too. I've posted it here before. Let me know if you need me to post again.

I also make a no knead pizza dough.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a general.dislike for stupid people...

Same, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's in my list.

 

[Lilianna23]

I doubt Ethyl would say she lost her fear factor!

 

[Lilianna23]

I hate hand holding and self back patting at my job.....

Congrats for doing your job.... applause....would you like a damn

We spend so much time in meetings talking about how great we are it is damn amazing we get anything done....

The self-promoters are always ready to tell us how wonderful they are. Meanwhile, the rest of us are doing the damn job.

 

[Lilianna23]

I am struggling today....

I feel trapped by my job....

I'm sorry, sweetie!

 

[Lilianna23]

The fact that normal and routine bloodwork costs $1200 is fucking ridiculous. My insurance covered a lot of that, but

What
The
Fuckin
Fuck????

Shit is outta control.

You're absolutely right! Our Healthcare system is a mess.

hello everyone, how is everything going? I uploaded an avatar for me, but its still on review. guess the admin panel thinks its too hot for the site lol. or the stuck in reviewing them.

without an avatar, i feel like i am naked.

jokes apart, how long does it take to review the avatar for the admin panel?

It seems like it took about a month for my first avatar to be approved. IDK why it took so long. When I switched it out for my current one, it changed immediately.

 

[Lilianna23]

well, i have been an unregistered reader in LIT for a long time. so by reading stories, i keep getting thoughts of many things. sometimes i spend hours in the world of imagination all by myself.
then suddenly i thought, i should write them down and share as a creation. its a good way to pass free time. also a good practice for creative writing.

so i thought, why not start an account of my own so i can share those thoughts in a form of story or something. and now i am ended up here

Have you posted any stories here? If so, can you post a link?

 

[Lilianna23]

It's a trap

That's right! We reel you in with beverages of your choice and camaraderie. Then, all of a sudden, BAM! you're hooked!

 

[Lilianna23]

Just popping in to give you an update. Spent all morning at an urgent care, then the pharmacy at the VA and then the lab for bloodwork (unrelated to what ails me). On a Z pack for strep and a sinus infection. Taking it easy for a few days, lots of water and vitamin C. I doubt I’ll be on much for a few days, just wanted to say “hey”.

I'm glad you were seen. Please let us know how you're doing.

 

[Lilianna23]

They need to tighten up.


We had a bit of a go-'round this afternoon. Our flunkies bailed on us again. They're supposed to be our hourly flunkies to do our bidding. They suck at it. I wager we don't see them again after I warmed their asses for leaving early like every other day this week. They're gonna be surprised when we don't pay them for 40 hours, too.


The HVAC crew snuck out, too, but they were a bit more subtle about it.


Wat may have subdued the electrical foreman.


Then there was the trespassing crackhead. Hmmmm. TGIF!!!

Uh, oh!

 

[Lilianna23]

We are seated and ready to watch the Led Zeppelin documentary. I’ll let yaz know how it is.

Please do! I love LZ!

 

[Greylag]

Shake hands with you. Hi grey. Nice to meet you. Dont know how the English ladies behave. So please dont mind as i aint got that much etiquette
Lili is a loved one. Though haven’t seen her today. Have a good day, dear

Nobody said English ladies behave! Grins

 

[Greylag]

Bread is really so easy! Basically bread is just flour, yeast, salt, and water. Variations are easy.

Well, with your recipe even I could do it!

I asked my boss the other day who is responsible for the data regarding attribution and another thing that doesn't make any sense to you. There's only one person responsible for it, and no one ever questions them. I don't think he's dishonest I just think that data can show you what you want it to show that doesn't mean it's true. But since he's popular and everybody likes them and people are intimidated by his brains no one questions him. And I can't question him cuz I don't know as much as he does but I just don't understand some of the stuff he says well this metric is 80% but really it's 83% because we're not taking into consideration blah blah blah blah blah. Well if it's 80% it's 80%. I said has anybody tried to recreate the data that he obtains if no one can recreate it is it true? I'm pretty sure that my asking that question was really not appreciated. I am a little out of sorts so it's probably best to just keep my mouth shut

Statistics can say whatever the one creating them wants them to say. I always tried to be open and transparent with the data I presented.

But it was so frustrating when a C-level person asked why the data this month was different from the data last month.

"Well, because the data are fluid, not static, you dumbass!" Is what I wanted to say.

 

[Lilianna23]

I also ask things like we're doing this process but what's after that we could send the provider a query but if they don't answer it then what doesn't matter how many queries we send if zero are answered. And then what, but the providers don't interact then what. I feel negative but like think this s*** through. Especially since this group wants to push work off onto my team that their responsible for. I straight up say no I'm not doing it hahaha. I'm sure people hate my guts but oh f****** well they don't eat at my dining table

Just trying to make you do their work!
