I was uncomfortable with a male PCP until i had one. He’s been pretty good.
He’s in his 60s, and my first question at my most recent annual exam was whether he’s thinking about retiring. He replied that a lot of his patients were asking him that. But he really loves his work, and hopes to keep working until he drops dead. (Well, he didn’t use those words, but he compared himself to my dad, who DID continue seeing patients until he dropped dead in his 80s.)
He seems to be in good health.
I dunno. Maybe I’d rather break in a new doctor now, and not when i have more urgent health issues. But he’s been pretty good. I especially like that he’s really responsive to random non-appointment questions. (He’s salaried, which probably helps.)
An actuarial recruiter called me after 8:00 last night, and then proceeded to tell me about a role I would love after I said I wasn’t interested. It’s a consulting job dealing with employee benefits, and has a sick exam/study program. Had the guy spent any time looking at my LinkedIn, he would see I have left consulting and have an FSA.
I don’t typically answer my phone for unfamiliar numbers, but I am waiting on a call and this one wasn’t flagged as spam.
I don’t believe any recruiters would have my personal phone numbers, maybe someone I have worked with in the past, but haven’t looked in almost 25 years
The neighbour across the street came over last night. He’s weird. He won’t leave. Like…won’t take a hint.
Me: OK, thanks!
Him: OK! then just stands there.
Me: Thanks for letting me know, we’ll keep an eye out!
Him: no response. Just stands there looking.
I’ve never seen anything like it.
Second annoyance, he tells me somebody was in the 'hood checking doors and they had a thorough going over of the side door in our garage. So now I have to install security cameras this week. And just as bad, research them. It’s overwhelming.
I used to be able to use the school decision about whether to hold in person school as a gage to determine if I wanted to drive anywhere. This year it’s opposite. 2nd week in a row winter precip was predicted, schools ignored it, it came in, meaning school buses had to drive on icy roads. Then they canceled school the next day but promised bad weather didn’t happen.
We are supposed to get more precip tomorrow. Do we believe it, or not? If the schools are in session it will probably come.
I’m glad I don’t have school aged kids. I just worry about mr aj driving a bus on the neighborhood roads which are not treated here.
We had a snow day where they called it the night before based on the forecast and then there was like half an inch that had melted by 8 AM. They probably didn’t need to do anything but a delayed start would have been more than sufficient.
Dagnabit. Recording a video for the umpteenth time and my camera light flashes and goes out…out of power in the middle of recording. And I can’t plug it in and continue because the charger seems to cause interference with the mic.
So, screw around on GoA I guess.
I forgot to put the carafe under the spout of the coffee maker this morning. Luckily, there’s a stopper under the filter that doesn’t open until the carafe is placed underneath.
