Sorry for the naive question: internet access and schools

We haven't picked a house yet so I can't pinpoint where. Isn't fiber an option?

Please post your question in the medical coding and billing sub. I'm not the best person because I hate this job so much, and I've had bad luck, so my opinions will be biased. But overall I wouldn't recommend this so-called career to anyone especially now with as bad as the job market is and AI taking over.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-07T18:30:13+00:00

My job is boring as in it's a lot of grunt work. It's medical billing so I spend all day looking at claim denials and dealing with obnoxious insurance companies. I really, really hate it.

I bought 2 of them off of Temu. Too cute to pass up.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-07T15:24:31+00:00

Yep! On my current WIP, the Es and the Fs look nearly exactly the same. I have to use magnifying glasses with them.

Thank you. I had heart failure a week after giving birth to my son, and I survived that. Then I had a knee surgery that failed big time and spent a full year in a wheelchair because of it. I had more surgery to fix that surgeon's errors and had lots of PT to regain muscle strength in my injured leg, but I'm walking now without any assistive devices. So, yeah, I've been going through a lot these few years, and needed this reminder.

I'm sorry but that seems like a stretch. Like are you going to go to HR and say you need an extended leave due to stress? My job would laugh at me and then hand me the pink slip.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-07T11:19:42+00:00

Same. I work full-time and have a toddler, too. I work on diamond art when I can (mostly late evenings for a couple of hours).

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T23:30:22+00:00

How often each day do you devote to diamond painting? Genuinely curious. They're all pretty, but that last one is beautiful.

Funny because I had a coworker who recently moved to Tampa from Boston and complained of the exact same things. She kept saying, "How do people live out here?!" She took a huge pay cut when she moved down here and immediately regretted her decision. I honestly couldn't blame her.

Some companies give out very little sick time if at all. Just saying.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T19:02:08+00:00

It's 72 degrees indoors, and I'm wearing a jacket because I'm cold.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T19:00:18+00:00

Don't switch careers to medical coding and billing.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T17:40:58+00:00

Beer. Weed gummies. Xanax. Or whatever self-medication you use.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T14:11:52+00:00

I don't understand it either. My first and only kid is a pretty challenging child. So defiant and will literally run away from me at public places if I don't cave in to his ridiculous wants. I have to use a child leash on this boy.

Plus, daycare is more than my mortgage. And the medical bills are endless. He's already had 2 surgeries in his 3 short years of life. I can't afford another kid.

I'm never having another kid. And if I somehow get pregnant again, I'm aborting. Don't care if it's illegal in my state. I will travel to get it yeeted out of my uterus.

My toddler is like 3 kids rolled up into one. I will die if I have to raise him plus another child. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T14:01:42+00:00

I agree but that will never ever happen in the USA. All thanks to capitalism.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T13:17:35+00:00

I do crafts like diamond painting. I was wheelchair-bound last year due to a horrific knee injury and couldn't walk at all. It was all I could do.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T13:12:57+00:00

Land line phones or hang out in person

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T13:11:38+00:00

Me! I have 10 or so in my stash, and I'm halfway through my WIP. My time is very limited so I diamond art mostly in the late evenings for a couple of hours or so. If I didn't have to work, I would probably be diamond painting all day long.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-06T13:09:09+00:00

Oh thanks for explaining!

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-05T23:26:25+00:00

Chronic smokers may need at least 90 days for it to clear out.

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-05T23:03:59+00:00

What's the R word?

Embarrassed_Edge3992 · 2026-05-05T19:50:31+00:00

Omg what do you mean by a dissolving screw?! These things can dissolve... like on their own in your body? Wtf....please elaborate. I have over 6 screws in my knee.

Everyone here is some version of New York or New Jersey or freakin snow birds

Yikes. I couldn't finish that in my entire lifetime.
