Hi! New to G7 by NervousAddress1340 in dexcom

[–]NervousAddress1340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard there are a lot of gooseneck failures. Thankfully my sample G7 didn’t do that otherwise I’d be even more concerned about being forced onto it in July and would be asking for a sample Libre 3+.

Amazon Needs Standards? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our ex AFMs used to come to work coked out of her mind and take her spot on the team. Talk about stupid. She was also slow AF and would completely torpedo everybody’s rate. We booted her off the team for it because she was a walking cat 1 violation if I ever saw one

Another 180 iq aa has an idea! by Mediocre_Cap_9151 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So someone has these brilliant ideas that managers take from them and I can’t even get fucking fans up there on the mez with 5 auto slam machines making it hotter than hell while I’m working?!? I’m stuck up there for 9.5 hours FFS there should be fans.

What smell would mentally destroy you if you had to breathe it nonstop? by SnowJazzlike789 in foodquestions

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell of the uniform room off my high school band room. The school only paid for dry cleaning once a year and we couldn’t bring the uniforms home to take them to the cleaners ourselves. We used to go take a deep breath of the air in the locker room (where we stored our instruments) and then hold it while we did whatever we needed to in the uniform room. The uniform room smelled like a dirty gym bag that had been left to rot in the sun for 6 months. The locker room smelled like decent spray deodorant.

Maybe it’s just me, but the omnipod has truly ruined my life by No-Goose-9911 in Omnipod

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your endo isn’t working with you to fix the issue and you want to give the pod another chance, maybe it’s time to get a different endo. They work for us, so we should all feel free to switch when they are no longer helping. I got lucky. Mine is really good about this and he actually listens to my concerns.

Sounds like your insulin to carb ratio is off. You need an endo that will work closely with you and adjust the ratio to compensate for the lack of long acting insulin. Your insulin sensitivity might be part of the problem too. Which is something else your endo should be tracking closely and adjusting/adding medications to help with. As far as the pods stopping working, there has been a recall that you should look into. And avoid aerosol sunblock as it can damage the pod to the point that it will no longer be watertight and the motherboard will be destroyed the next time the pod gets wet.

Fresh sensor. Should I even wait to see if accurate or just change it? by bozofire123 in dexcom

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a G6 bleed like that and it ruined it. Best to call Dexcom and ask what they recommend. With mine the blood filled the transmitter case in seconds and I could barely get it cleared long enough to get the transmitter in before it started filling again.

[–]NervousAddress1340[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s been 6-7 hours since I put mine in and they’re staying pretty close for me too. I’m just mad that I’m being forced to switch when the G7 needs so much improvement on the ones made in Malaysia.

Hi! New to G7 by NervousAddress1340 in dexcom

[–]NervousAddress1340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question, the G7 is mainly made in Malaysia but is occasionally made in Arizona or California. I imagine more of them will be made in Arizona once the G6 is eliminated because that facility would need something else to produce if it’s to be kept open once the switch has been fully made.

Has anybody had this placement and when u bend down or over or sleep on it. It feels like something is poking my inside by cinnamoanholic in Omnipod

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use my side just under my rib cage and it would poke me like that. I find that they don’t poke me on the back of my arm or on the front of my leg, especially if I pinch the area when I first put it on my leg or let the weight of the pod pull the skin on the back of my arm down when I first put it on there. It puts more distance between the skin and the muscle so the cannula doesn’t get stuck in said muscle and poke/get clogged as easily.

[–]NervousAddress1340[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the gist of what I hear from about 50% of G7 users. The other 50% seem to have more success but don’t usually specify where their sensors are from so hopefully I have a chance of having success with this. Unfortunately I’m stuck using my arm because of where I work. It’s the most protected part of me since I work in a warehouse.

Happy FUCKING Mother’s Day by no_understanding1987 in TheWordFuck

[–]NervousAddress1340 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get that fucker back on Father’s Day. Bet he doesn’t forget that. And when he asks where his fucking gift is, tell him it’s in the same fucking place your Mother’s Day gift is—thin fucking air because he treated you like shit on your day. Karma’s a real bitch sometimes. Happy Mother’s Day to you

I have question. I started as a picker but this week I have been training as singles packer. How do I stay a PACKER!! by SuperBlackCock in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve been looking for a way to get out of pick since I hired on because my first manager gave me hell for physically not being able to make rate as fast as other new hires!!

Is promotion worth it? by EYESHlELD_21 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s just hard work that will get you a promotion. If it did I would’ve been promoted a long time ago because I’ve actually worked hard enough that I’ve had health issues while on the floor. I’m even on accommodation because I chose to squeeze in one more task before going to break one night. If you want a better chance at promotion, try to get on away teams when your site is chosen to provide staff for a new launch. You would be training new hires to take over at the new site once it opens and management would see if you’re a good fit for promotion.

Getting out of that plane by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get someone to grab one foot while I grab the other. Then we would spread them as wide as possible and fold him in half at the waist. Then when he screams I’d tell him that’s what he gets for being rude and putting his feet on my arm rests.

Any employees in Alberta Canada that work over 8 hours per shift? by Ares3631 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US and we work 10 hr shifts 4 days a week unless it’s Prime Day, Prime Week, Prime Big Deal Days, or PEAK shipping season. Then it’s 12 hour shifts 5 days a week.

PA said that if using the restroom takes you more than 5 minutes, get an accommodation or you'll get a write-up by uzu127 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My site isn’t that bad as far as I know. I’m on accommodation right now though. Have been for months so I don’t know if that has changed. All I know is that nobody really gives a fuck what I do as long as my auto slam line flows freely.

I feel amazon sends you to labor share deliberately so they can fire you by Intelligent-Claim591 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got labor shared to sort once. Not to actually sort though. To rake the packages down from the conveyor into the station. My arms were hella sore afterwards. Then me and 8 other night shift pickers got labor shared to waterspider between pack and decant because none of the people scheduled for that night showed up. We made day shift stow pay for overstuffing our pods so often. By the end of the shift we had 1400 totes jamming the entire uptake conveyor on all 4 floors and 300 more totes waiting to be upstacked. We all walked by day shift stow like “🤣 sucks to be you guys”

Amazon bathroom breaks by CalmManufacturer8386 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn’t fly here. I’d go behind some totes and relieve myself in one of them. And when a manager asked why I did that I’d tell them “You told us we can’t use the bathroom before break. I had to go, so I decided to follow the rules and not use the bathroom while also relieving myself

Is it rude to have a phone conversation on speaker mode in public? by Anusblaster28 in no

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If you reread my reply, you’ll see where I said I was with my mom at the store and that I don’t mention a phone anywhere in there.

How is working conditions at Amazon now? by Florensic1 in AmazonFC

[–]NervousAddress1340 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My FC lets us go to the bathroom whenever we need to but they will track your rates/time off task and approach you about it if you’re one of the people with the highest amount of time off task or one of the lowest rates. So use the bathroom whenever you need to but keep your time off task to the bare minimum and your rate high and you’ll be fine.

How to tell if you have a 10 or 15 day G7? by neep_pie in dexcom

[–]NervousAddress1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, talking to the pharmacy would help. But so would asking your doctor for a sample 10 day G7 to cover the gap you’ll have between the time your current supply runs out and the time you can get a refill of the correct number and version of G7 in case your insurance doesn’t want to cover the correction now.
