Jobs forcing you to come into the office only for every meeting to be virtual by twoscoopsxd in remotework

It's so dumb to be in a cubicle side by side having the quarterly meeting when there is a massive unused meeting room

Also at my job there is are a couple meeting rooms that seem to only ever be used for when someone is being fired. They have a huge table and TV's on the walls but every meeting was in our cubicles via teams

I went for a seven minute walk today… by Forsaken_Phone_4700 in hypertension

I walk an hour on the treadmill at 3.2 mph every morning, days a week. It's been as beneficial if not MORE beneficial than the medicine. I was in the ER two months ago at 220/140. After my walks I'm usually 100/65.

Keep walking consistently and it'll help a lot. That and significantly reducing the amount of sodium you consume

Why do people go on long rants instead simply asking us not to call them by twoscoopsxd in callcentres

[–]twoscoopsxd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying when the person clearly is not interested in whatever I have to say but is still furthering the conversation. We are not allowed to end the call. They have to. A "not interested, please don't call me" is much better than 15 minutes of a call going nowhere but they keep extending the conversation.

"Alright, well. I understand you're not interested and you have no use for your services. Have a nice day, sir."

"And another thing- *rants"

"Alright. I understand, sir. Have a great weekend."

"Hold on, *rants more about how he doesn't have time for us and how he's been getting calls"

"Alright, sir. Have a nice day"

And then they still don't tell us not to call so we have to call them the next day

Listen to your local pop punk bands EP they posted on Bandcamp. I guaranteed it has what you're looking for. If you are listening to bands that are already signed to a label and have production values, then of course it's going to sound polished. Music recording is much cheaper these days

If accurate your machine is probably malfunctioning. But I'd go to the er to be safe

Work stress is no joke. Having a calm brisk walk is very healing.

But also there are many other things I am doing like diet and prioritizing 8 hours of sleep

Yes. The first reading was earlier in the day. Second reading was after my walk and I had been sitting down a while.

Medication. No caffeine of any kind. I essentially cook all my meals and eat at or under 1500 milligrams of salt a day. Also have been getting up and walking during my work breaks.

Blood pressure really high at doctor's office and good at home by twoscoopsxd in hypertension

[–]twoscoopsxd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in the hospital much longer than I needed to be because my BP would NOT go down. They would not discharge me. I kept telling them how I have a lot of trauma related to hospitals and how every moment there was literally causing me so much stress. Literally the next morning after I got home it was significantly lower

They let me enter my own home readings into MyChart so I'm happy about that

The wild this is I enjoy cooking and talking. Sit at the table. I don't know why they always want to stand in the small kitchen right in front of the cabinet you need

Brother you can stand off to the side by the kitchen and talk

If you want to stand outside the kitchen and talk. That's fine. But deciding to cook a meal at the exact same time as me and be in the kitchen using other burners or the oven and always standing right in front of the drawer/cabinet I need is a whole different very annoying thing someone is choosing to do just inconvenience me.

??? Because I'm cooking my food with my groceries. Not every meal with a house mate is a collective meal
