stealing the subheading format People Got a friend coming into town this weekend and I'm very excited to see her. Tryna fit in as many people as I can before I leave because for some reason people don't seem to understand that yes I am coming back to DC and no I don't plan to leave in the next few decades Health So here's kind of a funny story but not like funny haha like funny in that the medical community sux. So I needed a doctor to rubber stamp me to travel and I made an appointment at a walk in clinic that could take me ASAP and also late enough in the day that I wouldn't miss that much work. I show up and first red flag was they didn't even put me with the doctor I made the appointment with. 2nd red flag is the nurse spends MAYBE 30 seconds with me taking BP and asking how much I weigh. The coup de grace is the doctor comes in, does ears/nose/throat check, pokes my belly a few times (standard so far), lets me tell him that no other systems are bothering me, and THEN launches into a spiel about the keto diet. Totally unprompted and it took the majority of my exam despite the fact that I told him I just finished grad school and I know I've been eating like shit but I've already started reversing that in the last month and have lost 7 pounds by myself on a combo of fasting and logging in MFP. He hears exactly none of this and tries to prescribe me an appetite suppressant. The whole purpose of the spiel, he says, is to keep me from getting obese in my 30's and while a lil extra weight in my 20's is fine, I don't want it creeping up on me. Which YES he has a point but I literally just needed him to rubber stamp me. AND THEN to top it all off, I scan in the form I need him to fill out and it gets bounced back because he didn't circle "YES" good to travel. So literally didn't even do the one thing I needed him to do lmao. School My last night of class ever is tonight and I'm doing a presentation on white supremacist terror and there's gonna be liquor. Really the only thing that matters There's a light at the end of the tunnel on this shit job and Topher's planned a tour of Europe for us and that will be awesome.
There's something compellingly readable about the subheading format. Even if no one reads the content, they will read the headings. I'll try and get into the pub early next Wednesday (kind of impossible in this time zone) and use subheadings that anyone can riff off of: Recent Epiphany; Least/Most Transcendent Art Experience This Week; Beyond Comfort Zone Edge Progress Report or something...
I like them a lot and I think they kind of take some of the paralysis out of the blank text box if people want to update us on things but don't know where to start. Beyond Comfort Zone Edge Progress Report (BCZEPR) is a good one.
DC? Yeah I usually get to Pubski pretty early because my job starts on the early side too so I can do that for sure
