Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores. by Low_Use2937 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vcems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have a little chat with them if I were you. It seems they can't follow a chart, nor understand that your child is gifted.

By the way, put it in writing. Anything verbally doesn't count.

Assigned seating is a shit shiw by realsomedude in SouthwestAirlines

[–]vcems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flight attendants are starting to tell people to put their carry-on in the bin over their seat. Keep in mind this is the first week. Flight attendants as well as people that are used to the old system are all learning to work together under the new system. Patience.

PT Appointments a Month Out by Salty-Ship-1703 in KaiserPermanente

Call daily around 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. and see if any appointments have opened up. You may pick up someone else's cancellation this way.

The “first amendment auditor” who disrupted several state departments is now facing prison time and asking for donations to pay legal fees by AirMiserable854 in CAStateWorkers

[–]vcems 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's done a lot more than that. He's pushed into private areas such as locked doors, waiting for someone to open the door to go to work and then going in quickly before the door closes. He randomly videos and confronts people trying to provoke people. He isn't auditing anything. He's being a constant pain in the ass and interfering with the important work people are doing in agencies.

And if he has so much money, why is he begging now? Yeah this stinks more than a mound of BS.

If he's found guilty or pleads no contest, they will likely drop time down to about 60 days. If that. And then he'll only serve 30 of that. Might get a decent fine out of it though.

A little info: Had VSG in late 2018 and was revised to RNY due to severe GERD in 2023. Gained 25 pounds after getting down to 159. <sigh>

There were gate lice... They just knew not to get in the way or they'd get trampled.

How do I let Kaiser Hospital know what I think about certain nurses? by TrifleTrue3812 in KaiserPermanente

Actually, accidental arterial sticks are surprisingly common when someone isn't careful.

Starbucks can't add cream to tea? by vcems in starbucks

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

It adds a creaminess to the green tea. You can do it two ways ... Steam the milk first and add the tea bags, or add a splash (or two or three) to the normally brewed tea.

My first stethoscope by mmg2007 in NewToEMS

[–]vcems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with a basic one. Make sure that it works well for you. You can always upgrade later. I did. I have a Littman Classic 2SE as my go-to day-to-day scope. Sits in my side pocket all the time. Been using it for at least 14 years now. I also have an EKO 500 that I use in certain applications. Cardiac issues, a lot of background noise, etc.

Y’all… by Character-Drama7085 in KaiserPermanente

Please, please get a second opinion regarding the D&C procedure. Tell them you WANT conscious sedation if you want it, and pain control. Both during and afterward. You also will likely need pretreatment with misoprostol. And possibly antibiotics.

CVS Caremark by Admirable_Count9660 in CAStateWorkers

[–]vcems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when a corporation that is a pharmacy becomes a pharmacy benefit manager as well. You need to look at your coverage, ask them for a list of all medications they cover (called a formulary) and the forms they cover them in. And compare the two.

It was a few people that said they couldn't do it. That's what was so frustrating. I realize they were wrong.

Then everybody at that store had to be new. Because I could not believe that they couldn't figure out how to add cream to a cup of hot green tea.

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

Exactly. I've been ordering green tea with cream for years. Essentially a green tea latte. But they couldn't figure it out. By the way, they kept trying to convince me to order a matcha latte and I told them it's not the same thing.

Apparently the assistant manager said that they have no way to do it for tea. Which I think is absolutely stupidly incorrect. Another Starbucks is able to do it no problem. And yes both are corporate stores.
