You can do this. You can do that. Just... make sure you aren't shooting yourself in the foot by doing the wrong thing first.
Today? I had thought to call the VA earlier. No, I thought. They suggested it was a holiday. So times might be extended? Holiday? Anyway, so I thought to wait to Monday. Then I got a call FROM the VA, informing me of my upcoming visits, or one of them... renal I think. So I decided to call back in, and get that canceled, and see about local primary care.
Ah, but... decided to order medications and test strips first. What a nasty piece of work I had to speak with about that. She... doesn't normal work with humans, I would guess. She... certainly doesn't play nice. At all. Still, I struggled through, and got the stuff on order. As... well as I could tell. Wouch. Someone needs a spanking, then a nap. And, this time, it's not even me!
THEN, I called about cancelations. Renal clinic first. Every time I have spoken to someone in that clinic, it has been black or Jamaican. No. Just... no. And, while my doctor and his nurses are... normals, or mostly, so far? The front desk is just dei's. No. Just... not. Plus, the last few times, the constant interruptions by "staff" popping in every few minutes? Unnerving, at best. No. I'll... see about another place, or just cancel.
I need to cancel the eye clinic, and anything else scheduled. If they want to shut the hospital down? They... are going about it the right way. Make a bunch of old white people feel oppressed, unnerved, people who know better than to swim with sharks... and, they will get closed down. Well, and throw in requiring the mask. I hadn't even asked about that at the renal clinic. I guess it is up to each clinic. Ask, and you shall receive. But... done. And in the correct order. Unless they decide to jack medicine to be petty. And... they are petty, when they see the opportunity, and have the authority. White, black, green, union government employees are very petty people. Thin-skinned twats, really. State employees are as bad, but can usually be hammered a bit, with a legit, minor, complaint to their superiors. Their superiors aren't (always, really, usually) on our side, but... they don't have unlimited power, like feds do.
Starting up the first new game. Old. Still woke, but it mostly doesn't screw with actual game-play. Just shop owners. Look, no one will buy from Tyrone. Well, for their heroine, hash, or such, sure. If Johnny Lonesome, their usual white supplier, has been put away. Addictions are what they are. Only in a stupid, fake, gay, game. But that's the limits of it. So...
Well? On back to gaming. I fed Sassy. I may make a steak. And, late, burger soup... but not for eating today. Then let it cool, and put it in the fridge for tomorrow. A hotter soup, with that hefty cayenne, and the hardcore carolina reaper. I really like that stuff. Maybe white pepper, too? And, possibly, regular pepper flecks. I can't even taste those last, unless mixed in with others. Then I seem to get a nice, mild, undertone, to back the rest of the heat profile. It burns just a bit at every level of the range of peppers. Actually, black and white pepper is hotter, to me, than regular red pepper flecks. Still, it has it's place, in a medley.
Hmm... on with... something. Probably gaming. Not... quite ready or able to cook. Later, and good day.
The VA’s mission statement is a joke … but thanks for your service, right?
ReplyDeleteYes. Thanks. We pay all of our union members more than the most highly paid veteran. We mostly hire people who don't like vets. But... thanks! Between guinea pigs and worse, we are just cash cows for wealthy hippies, leftist bureaucrats, and hipsters.
