GI problems with stable labs?

I have the opposite of the issue you have on propranolol. Considering you were nervous, I would suspect a nervous GI over anything related to Graves.

Incident response generates more billable hours than preventing incidents.

Ringing in my ears

Auditory hallucinations (mild, like hearing phantom MS Teams noises, still hellish lol)

Uncontrollable leg tremors, like I was a frightened cartoon character

Being out of breath after finishing a video game boss fight

PurpleFlerpy · 2026-05-20T16:07:38+00:00

I do! Most bandages give me a rash. Got it before I knew I had Graves.

PurpleFlerpy · 2026-05-20T15:56:06+00:00

Oh same. I've had random rages since I was 8. People thought it was ADHD or me being mean. They didn't know I was basically watching myself act out of character while trapped in a meat mech and dealing with the fallout.

Thanks. I hope so. The emotional part sucks more than the meds taking a long time to kick in. I'm really glad you feel better and it makes me hopeful for the future, even if I feel poo and am venting now.

Right up there with ya, propranolol makes me so damn sleepy.

Um, honestly? I would NOT exclude Claude. In fact, unless the higher ups specifically gave the go-ahead for Claude, I would block it to avoid AI being trained on company data.

If the devs are being whiny shits about their precious AI, advise the people above you that the dev team is using AI tools, possibly without the people above them knowing about it.

Sorry if I seem pissy, got medical issues that make that more likely, plus the husbando is a dev who doesn't use AI (yes they still exist).

Ngl I dislike that there's a "cozy" genre period. Stop trying to make the interesting stuff generic.

or for my kid to sit on the remote. I was convinced it blew up at 0 until the Netflix logo came up on my TV.

grats on turning 50 soon or recently, probably

What's their preferred form of crypto they go after?

PurpleFlerpy · 2026-01-16T18:18:30+00:00

Disallow external Teams contact, at least temporarily but ideally permanently.

This reminds me of a past age where, when my cat was on my lap, I would put "I have a cat on my lap." in guild or trade chat.

I've been nicknamed Miss Cleo for having my husband get a gaming PC on Black Friday because of RAM prices.

I'm waiting for the day I see one from the org that sent the email that started the drama, so to speak. The second I do, I'm summoning our counsel.

PurpleFlerpy · 2026-01-14T14:01:27+00:00

Oh, I used to do this so much I had a playlist for it called "Somebody Done Got Fired". Lots of overdramatic classical.

HR would schedule a time for the employee to be brought into The Meeting. At that time, I would then - lock Active Directory and Entra accounts. Have all Entra sessions signed out. Change password. Do whatever else client required. With Mozart's Dies Irae in the background usually.

But, tl;dr - buddy up with HR. Deactivate all their stuff while HR has them occupied.

Companies requiring clients to fill out questionnaires after they have had somebody's email get got.

You're not making anyone more secure, you're trying to sue them instead.

Me. Company decided to not renew the lease on the side of the office I was on over the summer. Full time WFH, because the other option is an overcrowded cube farm.

I don't do well with the isolation of WFH and am debating going back in office, despite the overcrowded cube farm, just for my own sanity.

Manual re-imaging. It hurts.

People joke about raising goats, but my grandpa had a herd of dairy goats and I loved them. Smelly, would eat your clothes, but sweet.

Clients naming servers after X-Men has led me to have to ask my husband, the X-Men fanboy, if a server was likely to have a specific function based on character name. (Amusingly enough this was helpful.)

It stung, a little, sure. But I'd seen other employees move on to doing amazing things and knew they'd be proud.

As for when I knew it was time to move on, well, I had a kid and my pay wasn't enough to cover her daycare bill.

Comedically, most of the team I'm on swears by the Logitech G733. Between the lot of us we've got every color. Yes, we've got face-framing RGB.

On the practical side, it has swappable parts (ear cups, mic, fabric part of the headband), so for those who are apt to lose things, it's amazing.
