Things that frustrate us all

Wrecked my damn knee. Something just snapped, out of the blue. Can barely walk. I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Wednesday. Now I have to weigh trying to get into the GP (which is usually impossible) or pay a huge fee for the ER ...or just wait to see if it improves.

Getting old BLOWS.
I hope it's not too serious. You'll have to get hubby to wait on you now so you can stay off your feet more.:whistle:

Damn, knee issues truly suck. Hopefully, it's just a minor thing that will go away on its own.
 
Got to a doctor, got X-rays.When I hear back, I'll get back with my normal GP.

The doctor I saw said it was probably a torn ligament. Also found out my neck problems are probably due to tendon damage because of osteoporosis.

When I get the results back, I'll get together w/ my GP to see what to do.

:sigh:

While getting old blows, it often beats the alternative...
 
Another thing about that job interview.

At one point, they asked who my role models were. I said, I don't know, maybe people who advanced science, Newton, Einstein, Tesla, Curie.

They seized on the Tesla thing and asked "Speaking of Tesla, what do you think of Elon Musk?"

Most loaded job interview question OF ALL TIME. I don't know what these people's politics were and they were the co-CEOs of the company. I think I found an answer that honest to my feelings, respecting his achievements at Tesla and Spacex without defending the antitrans stuff. But how can you ask that kind of question?

That sucks, I hope you can recover without to much trouble.

Ugh, I hate when people who I don't want to piss off ask a question like that. I don't want to say what I really think, but at the same time I don't want to lie.
 
Shooting in my apartment complex overnight. Four people were taken to local hospitals with gunshot wounds in an apparent gang-related retaliation. The victims are not co-operating with the police. Sheriffs/police officers recovered over 77 shell casing in the parking lot, cars, and the ground floor apartment adjacent to mine. The whole parking lot is taped off and I had to shelter in place all day while the sheriff's office investigates. F*cking sucks.
 
Yikes, that's scary. The closest I've ever come to a situation was when there was a shooting across the street from the Wal-Mart where I used to work, and everyone had to stay in the store until the situation was resolved.
 
@JD I'm actually kinda surprised it hasn't happened sooner. There's a park adjacent to the complex and on weekends after the park closes, twenty-somethings gather there, party, play their music loud, rev up their engines and do donuts/street racing. It finally spilled over to our parking lot and the people living here got caught in the crossfire.
 
Yikes again.
I think I'm gonna be reporting some people to animal control/the cops later this week. In one of the neighborhoods where I ride my bike there are a couple of dogs that keep getting out of their yard, and chasing after me and almost biting me. There are two of them and a couple times now they've managed to corner me, and the only way I was able to get away was by yelling at them and getting them to back off just enough to get between them. It doesn't happen every time I go by, but it's happened enough now that I'm really getting sick of it.
It also makes a little nervous because it's one of the neighborhoods where people have horses and I'm afraid they're going to spook one of the horses and someone is going to get hurt.
 
Went to the store. They have two sets of automatic doors and the odor was quite obvious that someone had peed in the small section between the two.
 
The speed limit in my neighborhood was reduced to 25, even for the busy streets. No one on the busy streets follows this new speed limit, but today I was stuck behind someone who not only obeyed the speed limit, but wouldn't go faster than 20. The driver behind me was not pleased.
 
I have a question well a couple and don't know where to post this. But it is a frustration so I hope it counts. My husband and I don't have the Disney+ and so we have not seen the Wanda Vision and the other things on there. We have been uncertain if we would miss anything important in the movies having not seen these things. Like with the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has Wanda in it and I am thinking refers to the Wanda Vision in the movie? We are also unsure of watching the Antman and Wasp in the Quantumania. So could anyone please tell me if it is like super important to the whole understanding of the movie to watch these things? We do like to know the details and pick up on all the little things in these movies? Really want to see these movies but have waited this long. Has anyone else had a problem with missing out on these things?
