Humana strikes again! Earlier this year, I finally got a call back from my healthcare provider to let me know that they finally had a therapist accepting new patients and that my bravery in placing my name on a waiting list would, at long last, be rewarded. Yes, Heinz Ketchup, the best things do come … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Medical Insurance, Again

Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Medical Insurance
Early last year, I was having some mental health drama. I was frequently anxious, needlessly driving myself nuts with worry, and basically felt desperately out of control for no apparent reason. I felt like an outlet with pent-up electricity and no outlet for it. I made an appointment with my primary care doc to tell … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Medical Insurance
A Neighbor’s Rant
One of the things I love most about Spring and Autumn is the temperature. It’s not too hot and not too cold. It’s juuuuust right. It means I don’t need to turn on the air conditioning or the heater. It means I can open up my windows and let a fresh breeze flow through the … Continue reading A Neighbor’s Rant
Urination Strenuation
There are a lot of things our bodies do which we loathe and could quite readily do without. Our bodies do things which embarrass us or downright make life miserable. That fart which loudly forces its way out mid-coitus, for instance. Getting diarrhea (woot! I spelled it right on the first try!) on a road … Continue reading Urination Strenuation
Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: SpongeBob SquarePants
Okay, I'm done with the unfunny today. We've had a romantic post. Awww. We've had a serious post. Cut it out, Daily Post! Now it's time for some good ol' ranting and bitching. And maybe a dash of humor. I hope. Baby C is a funny, yet sometimes weird little creature. Much like his maternal grandfather, … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: SpongeBob SquarePants
Things I should not be subjected to: Lazy people
On most days I enjoy my job. I work in an isolated room with just 4 other guys and rarely have to deal with people directly. Most of my communication is done by email. Today, however, was a day I didn't enjoy my job. We received two skids of computers today from an office that … Continue reading Things I should not be subjected to: Lazy people
Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: That movie that butchers the book
Have you ever read a book so epic that when it's announced that a movie based on the book is coming out that your excitement rivals that of a child on Christmas Eve? Timeline by Michael Crichton was that book for me. I read that book probably three times in a row when it was … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: That movie that butchers the book
Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Obvious Instructions
I just got home from work a little bit ago, and I'm starving. My wife is at the doctor with a friend who had hurt her foot so I texted her to ask if I should wait for her to get home to eat or if I could go ahead and make something for myself … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Obvious Instructions
Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Everyone and their smart phones
My wife's company had its holiday party tonight. Don't ask me why they have it 15 days into the new year. I don't know. But it makes no sense to me either. So we went to the party, which was at a country club. I was uncomfortable right off the bat because I had to … Continue reading Things I Should Not Be Subjected To: Everyone and their smart phones
Things I should not be subjected to: Body odor
Have you ever walked by a person and a second after they pass a noisome stench bitch-slaps your olfactory glands? A smell so bad that your eyes water and your lungs threaten to strike? A funk so mephitic that it drops flies? That happened to me today. To make things worse, it was blatantly obvious that … Continue reading Things I should not be subjected to: Body odor
