Monday needs to be over

I am done with Monday. I wanted to have a good workout today. Easier said then done when you're on a treadmill and your calf tightens to the point you nearly fall off and as I am leaving I almost fall down the stairs. How is your Monday going? I hope its better then mine :)

Re: Monday needs to be over

  • Eh I'm covering for another nurses desk during a long term abscence. It sucks....to say the least. I'll be glad when this week is over. But hey, its 80 degrees here today so maybe I'll get a nice run after work to release frustration. Positive thoughts! Hope your leg feels better. Take it easy for the rest of today.

  • Ouch!  Drink lots of water and eat a banana!  (Super official advice my dad-who's-not-a-doc always gave me.)

    We weren't able to go to OG for SS&B (hey, we have a GC!) for lunch as planned and I may or may not have thrown a beebee fit out of hunger.

    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • Yeah I'm super p!ssed today.

    Recently my laptop graphics card fan started making this grinding/wheezing noise (take into consideration I paid almost $2000 for this laptop a little over a year ago). I call the support line, they tell me it's out of warranty and they won't fix it- even though it's a system fault. It's not like I broke the goddaamned fan! They told me I could pay like $400 to renew my warranty and they will fix it for free, or pay $200 to send it in and have them fix it. I ended up just buying the replacement part ($60) and will try to get it fixed locally.

    I'm incredibly angry I gave this company money and they won't stand behind their product.

    Hunger fits are no joke, especially when they involve SS&B.

    My Monday is blah.  Work is being a biotch when all I want to do is watch last night's Mad Men.  I'm also super cold which pisses me off because it was 90 exactly a week ago.

  • Thanks it actually feels better if I don't walk fast or stand on my tip-toes which lets face it I am short. So I plan to stay with my leg up and avoid doing those. I think I just tried to work myself to hard after seven months of absolutely no physical exercise. I am eating a banana and drink TONS of water. Satuday it was so hot I could have fried an egg on the street and this morning it was freezing. I am not enjoying the change

    I would have asked for a supporvisor and told them its not your fault it is their responsibilty to fix it
  • Duplicate. I am sorry this keeps happening

    I did talk to a supervisor and they just said the same sh!t.

    When I was sent a "rate our customer service" email after the call I sent back a nastygram and I wrote a bad review on their FB page. It's likely they won't respond or do anything but it made me feel a little better.

  • Oh wow that is bullcrap. I would be flaming mad. I sure would have done the same thing. At least you feel a little better. I am so worried something like this will happen with P's laptop I wouldn't care if it was a cheap computer but he is paying out the rear on it

    It sounds like you need to drink more water and stretch more before your work outs. 

    My Monday has been pretty good. My work out kicked my butt.  It hurts so good!  I've been doing the laundry and cleaning a bit.  Took a power nap and then picked the kids up from school.  I made dinner in the crock pot forgeting that I'm supposed to meet my mom and brother for dinner. Oh, well.  At least this is something that reheats well.  We'll have it tomorrow.

    Asus.  We have one.  I absolutely love it.  Best computer we've had, yet.

    ASUS.

    That is an awesome company, H bought one from them earlier this year. Just don't ever get sucked into buying anything from Alienware.

  • I feel smart :D. Well I am happy it is a good computer. I don't know anything about computers but I will avoid that company for sure
  • My Monday is a uh.. a Monday. H is working 12s so I'm in charge of dinner. BLEH! I also want to punch my boss in the face.

  • My H's ASUS laptop shuts down with any graphics intensive game b/c it overheats.  I know more about that damn computer than I ever wanted to.
    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • I sat through lectures about employee benefits I don't get because I'm per diem all day. Oh, then I went to employee health to have my tuberculosis test read and they informed me I needed an MMR booster. That thing was worse than getting my tattoo. She said it would burn a little. My whole freakin arm was on fire. Mary, I know someone who swears by alienware. DH got an Asus and it's been great so far...knock on wood.

  • My Monday's been okay. My new glass showed up today which made me a happy girl. Until I got home at lunch and E thinks they make me look old Crying. Had a message on the machine at work this morning from a patient coworker calls dragon lady, bitching about how she drove over Friday and we weren't there and how the staff is lazy because they didn't change the message on the machine. Well first off not even the doctor knows how to change the darn message and since you called at a normal time and got the machine one would think we were not here. So I called her and left a message  apologizing and told her I would have the doctor call her.

    Rest of my day looks happy and good. So we shall see!

  • I wasn't going to respond to this thread at all until I saw the word ASUS! Asus laptops give me a nerd-gasm.

    Seriously. I have a little Eee PC from like 6 years ago still going strong. They are a good bang for the buck. My second favorite laptop brand after that is Toshiba. The one I had in college was indestructible. It's currently about 9 years old and living with my parents. They're planning to upgrade the RAM soon so that they can continue to use it.

  • I'm PTing with the office 3 days a week now, so Mondays have been killing me. Up by 0500, out the door at 0530, at the office at 0615/30. Today was 5 and a quarter miles with workout at the half way point. I was the slowest by far (by far), but I finished, and I didn't quit. I'm pretty psyched about today!
    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
