I’m at work today. They don’t give us holiday pay either. So… yay, Easter?! I’m due back at 5AM tomorrow so nothing exciting will happen after work either. #disappointing

Selfie Saturday. Taken outside my workplace last Saturday.

Oh yum! 😋 Thanks!

That was incredibly informative. I don’t know much about making music or how Ai works but I feel like I know more than I did before I watched this. Thanks!

I’m tentatively making plans to see a concert this weekend even though I STILL don’t have my work schedule for the following week. I’m off the next 2 days. My next day there is supposed to be Friday. Just don’t have the time my shift is yet!

It bugs me the only Police songs I typically hear on the radio are Roxann, Every Breath You Take & Red Light. They have so many other songs that are stellar.

My view when I was walking into the building at work before dawn today. The recently full moon remnants glowing above the hospital building. “Mayo Clinic” sign is lit at the top of the building.

A poster I saw in a thrift shop that reminded me of my mom and a series of photos I took of heart-shaped things. I used the images to make a special calendar for her birthday after she discovered she had a tiny hole in her heart. 💔 🥹

Here’s some random pics I took today. Click to read my captions if you’re interested.

This whole album rocks!!

One thing I've learned from the 42,000 hours of Teletubbies I've been exposed to the past 6 months it's that British kids have weird outings. Not take your kids to the shooting range weird, which is nice.

Do you hear Gandhi?....

A highly suggestive tweet by the President has led to a sharper focus on whether it's okay for politicians to actively trade stocks. I think the answer is simple: This is not okay, and it's time for Congress to fix itself.

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

🤣

Cute!

You deserve a break Stop healing. Choose violence. Go batshit insane. Do it for the plot.

Who wants me to be their new life coach? I have amazing advice.

It’s already been a wacky morning at work! One coworker who should have been here with me called out. The other was late! Thank goodness my supervisors stepped up to help!

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

NEW: Of the 7,837 disputed procedures in the lawsuit, involving 1,680 patients, Blue Cross paid this breast cancer center about 9 cents on the dollar, paying $43M on invoices totaling $500M.

Some 60% of the claims weren’t reimbursed at all.

I started to write a joke involving Goofy and Chuck Palahniuk (connect those dots however it tickles you), but I have decided to do some soul searching instead. Namaste.

Accurate!
