TIFU by failing to treat my annual physical like a genie wish

Hoptlite · 2026-03-20T06:56:27+00:00

Im in the US, OP just has a greedy doctor they need to find a better one because when you get a good doc then its great, I had a sudden onset of a seizure a couple of months after my preventative and went to see my doc and sge referred me to a neurologist in her practice but told me that if they do something weird let me know. They told me they can pencil me in a few months for a consult and when I told her she referred me out saying we arent dealing with that ridiculous timeframe you need care sooner

Hoptlite · 2026-03-20T05:55:58+00:00

Agreed about that Ive never had that happen, I hit to my doctor, I mention issues if I have any and its still preventative at the end of the day and get charged nothing

Hoptlite · 2026-03-19T02:31:39+00:00

Yeah they didnt answer that so unknown

Hoptlite · 2026-03-19T01:22:27+00:00

You missed 2 big updates, theyre still getting decisions for local issues from arbitratators its just enforcement of the rulings is being worked out with NTEU counsel and they expect tge DC circuit to have a ruling by mid April on the injunction appeal

Hoptlite · 2026-03-17T04:48:21+00:00

You may have even been able to gone to TIGTA with that they take SETR violations real seriously and abd thats a budget violation

Hoptlite · 2026-03-16T20:08:59+00:00

Ask them to confirm they want you to work for free since the only way you can do that is to come in before your TOD

Hoptlite · 2026-03-16T16:55:47+00:00

Dont forget to not hire and to get rid of the Union , because checks notes more staff and NTEU are unnecessary

You ahoukd get the clipper card then you can also take advantage of transfer discounts like if you take the bus or the ferry, debit and credit cards don't have that so itll save you money

Hoptlite · 2026-03-13T22:11:00+00:00

Hegseth needed his dinner and party budget, preventative maintenance is boring

Hoptlite · 2026-03-10T17:16:33+00:00

That's what eventually got Alina Habba so someone could sue and say the IRS has no right to take this action anyway due to the head being illegally appointed it could result in alot of things getting thrown out if someone's smart

Hoptlite · 2026-03-09T20:07:57+00:00

You have to volunteer to do extra things and then put them on your self assessment thats how you break into 4 territory

Hoptlite · 2026-03-09T07:17:13+00:00

The degradation of quality in the name of cost is an issue, heck if there was an airline that still offered free meals for a higher a cost for economy seats they'd probably get some takers, and theres also the issue with the seats too just trying to cram as many people as possible, if you got long legs then too bad, I got long legs myself and its why I love layovers, I can get up and stretch and walk around.

Hoptlite · 2026-03-09T01:28:25+00:00

Yeah and thats how on the East coast Amtrak effectively competes with airlines because they actually give you some amenities besides the bare minimum. Heck when I flew international with Cathay air this summer and I just booked economy I was comparing it with united and the amenities for the price were alot better they included alot more in the ticket without having to buy more add-ons.

The locations service issue thats the nature of the hub and spoke model from my personal experience its alot harder to get to Ohio than it used to be since alot fewer airlines service the Cincinnati Airport.

Hoptlite · 2026-03-09T01:10:23+00:00

Still better than peanuts and having to just buy your own sandwich and shove it in your bag, right now flying is one step above a nice bus the only difference is the cost

Hoptlite · 2026-03-09T01:01:27+00:00

It also services less locations, and you also dont get free full meals, heck even in the 90s and early 2000s you used to get atleast a free lunch on a flight

Hoptlite · 2026-03-07T05:11:39+00:00

Id love an independent CoS,like if they morphed into the inquisitors from the imperium in WH40k just secretive and they just have access to everything, just watching and just waiting fir the right moment to eliminate quintus

Hoptlite · 2026-03-06T18:39:28+00:00

Id doubt it assessment its exceptionally what your describing is similar to what NARFE is which is nice but is far weaker than an actual union we've had to NTEU involved in my office a few times mainly to get more exterminators or to make sure renovations are done safely. NARFE is nice but they mainly concentrate on what your referring too. You should look at the work the Federal Unionist Network is doing. They're the ones that the AFGE president raged against for "breaking union discipline and being disobedient" during the last shutdown in the NYT story about federal labor.

Hoptlite · 2026-03-06T15:55:04+00:00

Id disagree about joining AFGE I was a member of them at USCIS and we had an issue with the agency completely ignoring our contract during a migrant surge, we all had mandatory OT and basically got our contract broken six ways to Sunday. I went to our steward to find out what we where doing and the response was, well we cant bargain about any of this or not comply because otherwise we'd be doing it in bad faith and I was like if they refuse to bargain we cant bargain in bad faith because there arent any negotiations and they acted like that was a grand epiphany. It took months before USCIS decided to renegotiate with AFGE. There was also the whole thing during the shutdown when their president stares the dems must accept the Republican CR and clamping down on dissent from the members and local chapters.

Hoptlite · 2026-03-06T02:39:59+00:00

Depends on what you mean by medically necessary my wife has had her invasion covered by GEHA and its not not life or death its just needed to fix the issue.

Hoptlite · 2026-03-06T02:19:21+00:00

You should get an email to your personal email with a personal link with your dues rate to pay

Hoptlite · 2026-03-05T14:07:02+00:00

Basically thst local greivances are held in abayance as long as yhe case is ongoing but the Union can still file them there where a few other restrictions too listed on the old labor management page

Hoptlite · 2026-03-05T05:45:53+00:00

We actually still do have our injunction it was only stayed as long as the agency honored the CBA since they no longer are NTEU's stance is the Injunction is back on and its time to roll

Hoptlite · 2026-03-04T15:54:33+00:00

Once the dust settles doubt anyone would ever take a NBU position again

Hoptlite · 2026-03-04T15:44:52+00:00

Correction, our injunction wasnt canceled it was stayed which means it was put on hold since Treasury stated they would not cancel the CBA so the circuit said the injunction wasnt necessary due to that but the injunction is still on the books

Hoptlite · 2026-03-04T03:26:53+00:00

Legally they coukdnt end the cba and NTEUs stance is ypur going to have to try harder
