What RUINED your day today?

Peanut butter whiskey... I drink it with my hot chocolate.  I LOVE it.

Guess my palette is a bit unrefined like you sophisticates 😝😜😄

I've had it.  It's bad!

Well, I've never had it in my coffee.  I like to try different things in my coffee. This actually sounds good.

What ruined my day? I work for a School as a Custodian and I work nights. I came in as usual and in the main office our secretary was talking to a lady about enrolling her daughter to the school. I happened to walk near the office to shut off a display light, the lady sees me and asks our secretary,

"Who's he? A parent?", obviously referring to me. Our secretary says, "He's our night Custodian he cleans the school every night."
Out of nowhere the lady asks, "Do you do background checks on all of your employees?" Our secretary replied, "Yes, we do before we hire them. Why do you ask?" Then the lady says, "No reason."

I did nothing to provoke this woman whatsoever but yet she's saying that about me? I don't know if my appearance frightened her or what but goes off to the secretary like I'm some kind of monster. I think that lady was off her nut, she's wearing a Covid mask, but her daughter wasn't. In our state mask wearing was lifted for the time being, yet she's masked still and has a child unmasked. As they were leaving she was trying to avoid me and was making her daughter sanitize her hands before leaving. I guess I was a walking Covid monster

I guess I was a walking Covid monster 

Or maybe she was a walking Karen? Or was immune compromised? Or maybe the daughter was a victim of molestation by a stranger?

I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I doubt it had anything to do with you. She was probably triggered by something.

I need to physically write it on a piece of paper from the printer and have one of our legal assistants scan it into Adobe. So laid a blank piece of paper over my printed signature, and signed it *exactly* the same way. You can’t tell which one is printed and which one is original. And we will have that scanned. Because this is just the way we do things.

In some countries, any 'professional' (doctor, bank manager, lawyer, ordained minister, etc.) can authorize a signature or photo ID. At the other end of the pain scale are places that make you jump through hoops to get separate authorization documents (apostilles) issued by notaries for ludicrously high fees. At one time or another, I've been through all of them.

The whole signature thing is becoming irrelevant in the digital age. You can now 'sign' digital contracts online by either choosing one of the signature/initial style options offered, or uploading your own.

Reading about yet more atrocities by Russian soldiers in Ukraine.  Why hasn't that toothless waste of space called the UN intervened?

I have my JPEG signature that I have used for years. Then I also have my Adobe electronic signature, that puts my name and date and time of signature on it. Very good for PDF documents. And then finally, in Federal court, they require that you sign your pleadings “/s/ Attorney Name“ It’s in all the local rules, dating back to 2000 or earlier, and I’ve seen judges get very upset by a lawyer trying to put their “fancy signature” on a federal pleading. The clerk will reject it and make you redo it.

That goes straight into my "What I learned today" folder. Thanks!

Last year the IRS rejected my (paper) return because I used a scanned signature. No idea how they knew, the signatures looked identical to the previous year's. We both had to sign a form they sent us before they would process it.

So I went in for a mammogram today, and once again they said the needed to get me an ultrasound, for those who dont know, it is something you never want them to say to you. It means they found something and need to get a better look at it. With Bob and Melissa on my mind, I was near tears scared. Luckily for me, it is just another cyst, and it is really small so no need to withdraw fluid or do anything with it. This will be the second cyst that I've gotten. One per girl. This one is under my left breast. What should have taken less than an hour took nearly three.

I hate ultrasounds.

[MintJulie]

Hugs.  To you.  Happy that all is well.

[msslave]

So glad it was something simple. Keep up with your health checks.

[Shiela_M]

I keep checking the spot they said it's at, and I can't even feel anything. Sonetines I think I feel something, but its probably in my head because I know it's there.

I'm sorry to hear you had to go through all that anxiety and worry   

Thankfully, the girls are happy and healthy 

Be right back, gotta look at, uhm, something 

[Pornhubby]

I love you. Of course, free breast inspections are always available, if you need a second opinion. Too soon, I know.

Glad to hear that all is better than you feared.   

Mrs ODK hates mammograms but is the actual process of an ultrasound uncomfortable?

Not really, the goop they put on you feels gross, but there is no pain or discomfort. I think it was in scrubs where a female character equated it to having a whale "hock a loogie" on them. I was sat that analogy is rather accurate. They do press pretty hard with the wand, but no big deal. It's the mental torture you put yourself through when they say, "were going to have to order tou an ultrasound because we spotted a little something."

They don't know what it is right away, only that there is something there. And somtimes when the ultrasound can't tell them everything, then they need to take a biopsy, and then you're freaking out for a day or so, or god forbid an entire weekend like last time, to see if its cancerous or not. So it isn't the physical but the mental

Good to hear.     

I am sure more than a few members here would love to take the place of mammograms and ultrasounds that the lovely ladies of KB have to go through every year..
