I hate dealing with my insurance company and the medical supply companies. For a long time now I've been trying to switch over which company gives me blood test strips so I can use the fancy tester that came with my new pump, the one I was with didn't offer the brand I needed. Where I could use the tester like a remote control for the pump and it ( Read more... )

I've been pretty bored lately and will only be in the downstate area for around another 3 weeks, so if anyone would like to hang out or do something, shoot me an IM or call me up if you have my phone number. I'm pretty much up for anything cause it's either been zoning out at the computer or falling asleep after work lately...

And now my favorite liquor store in town carries all of their other cans too - the Lift Bridge Brown Ale, the Pick Axe Blonde Ale, and the Red Jacket Amber Ale ( Read more... )

Slept a tiny bit better at this one, still woke up a couple of times throughout the night, but felt much more rested than after the other sleep test. I'll like to see how well the machine helps when I can sleep on my terms and with less stuff wired onto me.

I will be going back to the hospital in just under 2 weeks for them to strap me up to all those sensors again and a CPAP machine this time to get the settings worked out. Should feel good to actually get some sleep again, although if insurance doesn't cover this ( Read more... )

Pretty lousy sushi place out in West Bloomfield that I went out to this past weekend. Place was wide open but took them at least 5-10 minutes or so for a hostess to even greet us. Presentation sucked on the sushi, at least compared to other places I've gone to that at least try to pretty it up. One of my rolls had some not so fresh salmon in it ( Read more... )

Has been going pretty good... Lots of sorting out thousands upon thousands of different relays in excel. Getting more bitch work tossed my way but nothing hard yet :) . I need to start learning more about Visual Basic programming, sometime over the summer they want me to add some features to this one calc sheet that will make people's lives ( Read more... )

Starting my first day at my summer engineering co-op.

I got the summer co-op position :3 I just have to sign the offer and turn it in. It's going to be an 8-5 mon-fri job starting may 18th through august 28th. They bumped up the pay a little bit, before the original hourly wage they told me would be $14/hour but now it is going to be $16.50/hour because apparently this co-op position is more ' ( Read more... )
