The Isolated Blurt Thread VI: The 6th Nonsense

[Aphro]

Hmmmmm, why, did you awake from the gas with a salty taste in your mouth and a quarter in your hand?

Be a good trick since my dentist is female.

No, it's just that, if you have dental coverage, they seem to find unnecessary things to do to your teeth just because they can, and if you question it, they say oh, but you are only paying 15%, so don't worry...I mean, if I have no cavities, it's like they go LOOKING for SOMETHING, anything, to get me back in that office to bill me.

Yesterday, I was told I had a chip on one of my back molars. I can not feel anything, can't see anything...if there is a chip, it must be pretty friggin' small. But they immediately booked me for a half hour appointment to fill the chip. I just called now to cancel the appointment. Told them I'd take my chances and see if I got any cavities or not.

I once got a newsletter from our other dental office, talking about "maximizing your coverage" and using up all of the dental coverage you possibly could because otherwise the employer might reduce your benefits for next time...so spend, spend, spend!

I give them 2 months' notice to take 3 days of vacation time, and they want to quibble about it? I get 3 weeks, and so far this year I've taken 2 days. If I'm that damn indispensable, I deserve a fucking significant raise.

When I was coming over to see LTR last month, I booked the time off three months in advance. Then they tried to tell me I couldn't have it four weeks before I was due to leave. I told them I was going and they could go fuck themselves. Astoundingly, they managed to find the hours for me.

hey, at least they told you. when i was unfortunate enough to work at walmart they wouldn't even let you know if your vacation had been approved until the relevant schedule came out and it was obviously too late for you to bitch if they'd said no. and, no, they didn't think that was fucked up at all. good times.

good times.

being poor is awesome.

 

[trysail]

awesome. yesterday the punk cat killed a mole. those are some ugly fuckers. i was such a proud mama.

You're right, cats are ugly fuckers. The goddamn cats run around killing a bunch of songbirds.

Don't forget— moles serve a useful purpose; they aerate the soil. The poor things are all but blind.

Isolated blurt.

Well, that conphuckingfirms that.

Jesus H. Christ and one to add to the 10 Foot Pole list.

I think you're flattering yourself if you think you had a chance anyway.

last night i was super worried that my computer was having a major issue with freezing up.

and then i turned my speakers on and realized my mouse has a bad cord. thankfully i have a spare. i still felt kinda stupid for a bit there, but yay for my computer not dying because holy shit does the laptop suck for anything but the internet and watching shit as long as it isn't in hd.

Just so you know, our last game against the Gnats on 17 September in Atlanta is "Tom Glavine Bobblehead Day."

They showed a great banner at a Braves game last week:

Tom Glavine .185 ATL batting avg.
BJ Upton .184 ATL batting avg.

Barney Frank on CNBC. He always gives good interview.

 

[Adre]

Amazing the riffraff we let in.

 

[JohnnySavage]

My neighbor is cutting his grass again. The man is the energizer bunny of grass cutting. This has to be the 10th time of the season (The Savage Estate has yet to be mowed this year).

It's one of those things that just annoys the piss right out of me.

What's worse, the neighbors that have jobs will be out there this evening cutting theirs.

I never get a minute of peace and quiet!

 

[JohnnySavage]

Garbage collection is another issue I'd have to address if I were ever put in charge. Everyone hires a different trash guy, so every day of the week there are trash trucks rumbling up and down the streets of Johnnyville.

 

[JohnnySavage]

And don't get me started on all those little snot-blowers that play in the street in the evening. Too much noise coming out of those little things.

 

[Adre]

Methinks JS could use a quiet place out in the woods.
