My son went to the ER last month.

He was having breathing problems at school and feeling lightheaded during a choir rehearsal, so I picked him up from the nurse’s office, took him to urgent care. At urgent care I shared with them the pulse-ox reading the nurse had taken from his finger. They said at that low a reading I needed to take him to the emergency room. So…

At the emergency room, at check-in I tell them the situation. The attendant comes out and takes his pulse-ox reading. It’s fine. We immediately move down the priority triage list and sit for three hours in the waiting room. Finally they move us into a cot in the ER. We watch TV and wait another three hours. My son’s symptoms have all disappeared at this point, but I figure we’ve come this far, let’s talk to a doctor. We never do talk to a doctor — only a PA — who runs a COVID/flu/other respiratory things swab test. All negative. They also take a chest x ray. Negative. We go home after 6-7 hours.

Today I received a bill for $4,500.

Don't eat old pie

I made that mistake yesterday, felt gross this morning. After eating cereal felt sweaty and had tunnel vision. Went to the bathroom and must have fainted. I woke up with a wet head in the shower. Now I have a bag of frozen peas on my head and I'm sure my wife will have plenty to say.

So yeah, stay away from old pie

Not sure if any of you remember this post I made some time ago about the brutal few years my wife and I have had with multiple miscarriages and failed IVF treatments.

I mean... you kind of did?

Copywriter here. 20 years of experience, 7 months unemployed. Multiple places have told me me they mostly use AI now tho so they only could pay for a few hours a week, then changed their mind when they got the premium AI instead.

I have a spreadsheet where I track all of the roles I applied to. Its about 300 roles now, I had maybe 5 Intro calls, and only one company that I got to the very last round. With that company, I told them from the beginning that I am looking to grow within the company and transition to a leadership role eventually, and after the very last round they told me that’s the exact reason they wouldn't hire me. Job search sucks ass is all I have to say.

The Problem with Jon Stewart cancelled due to creative differences between Apple and Jon Stewart

They wanted to talk about AI and China, and apple didn’t want it.
