How'd it go today?

The sickness continues. "I wonder why my heat shrink butt connector dies have more than the usual three notches?" I asked myself about 3:00 A.M. Tuesday morning. I found out. Then I rectified my lack of odd sized heat shrink butt connectors.

Just did my physical therapy again this week. Therapist brought me up to date and we did an eval. Part of bringing me up to date was finding out the SOB that quit the clinic that was supposed to set up my referral to phys therapy, never included my lower back that he asked x rays for. Found out I had a compression fracture in L1 that no one caught. Upon seeing it for himself, was to set up treatment for that as well. Sumbiatch did not. Even after I called him out on it. Going to start with a new doc now. One of my local go to's started up his practice again. But sum biatch, stuff like this pisses me off.

Aggravating at the least Stephen.

Indeed.
Katy is going through it as well. Lost her doctor and Nurse Practitioners in one fell swoop. 4 gone. Quit.
Now she gets to start over as well.
She fasted before work a couple mornings ago. Showed up for her blood work, no orders. Found out about her care providers leaving the clinic she goes to. Do over.

That's rough.

Healthcare in a rural setting seems way tougher.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Indeed.
Our local hospital should completely fail in the near future. They just cant seem to appropriate money correctly to comply to the new state standard. Add more taxes, they spend more getting nothing done. It will end poorly.

I am just about to get in the business of yelling at people, I swear


bid a job for my grandma's hair stylist yesterday, its CHEAP because its 2 hours of work, no cleanup and I got permission to smash the fence, going to cost me no more than $100 to do so I price accordingly and pretty much get told I have the job, meanwhile I'm STILL on site when a competitor the customer called arrives, obviously he wants nothing to do with a job when theres already another company on site but its not my fault the customer wanted to talk for 30 minutes when I kept trying to get to the truck to leave

well, customer texts me back this morning saying that she went with the other guys bid, its DOUBLE my price, this lady asked this other guy about more trees that she never even mentioned to me, guess I'm about to start demanding a contract on the spot because it seems half or more of the jobs I "win" are going this way, too much damn competition, even a bunch of local buddies are complaining about it, so its not just my customers but damnit its stupid


I guess its time to absolutely turn my game to 11 and break the knob off, and go put some guys out of business since all but maybe 10 companies here are hacks without insurance or a license, and half of them claim to be certified arborists when they can't tell a pine from an oak, honestly about ready to walk away from this shit and go do something less stressful and stupid with my life

My brother has spent the last year begging me to go to florida for a weekend to go offroad, ride motorcycles and hang out, I might just have to do that and get my mind off work for a bit, I just dont want to get stuck in his house with 5 toddlers, 2 cats and 3 dogs, I go into a mental overload with all the noise

Since the sustenance thread wont work for me.....
Chickens needed thinned and it was a cool day especially this morning in the shade. Breasts for saute or grill, dark meat for enchiladas and tacos. Necks for broth and kittehs.
Katy butchered and I washed, vac bagged and sharpened.
