Re: Rep retirement lodge CC - greetings from heathrow

Good morning Lodge. Working from home today. I do like this. Had a maintenance guy here a little before 8 for an annual check to my heat/air unit. On my second load of laundry. Been working since 9, sitting on my couch. Have two conference calls, one at 10:30, one at 11:30. I left my notebook at the office last night, had written a bunch of things to take care of today. I remember some.

I have an MRI at 3:30 this afternoon. This is for my neck/back/shoulder issues. I had gone to a spine doctor last week, he requested it. He said I may also have some rotator cuff damage. Nothing major, but that could be what is causing the sharper pain in my shoulder. I've never had an MRI. I'm actually kind of fascinated by it.

You have to stay very still, and it gets very loud. If you're okay with loud noises and enclosed spaces, you'll be fine. Just don't sneeze.

Why are you up?

Had just arrived at the cabin. COuldn't fall asleep and decided that you guys were more entertaining than sleep.

I don't know why my company hasn't started offering lakeside cubes. I could get used to working from the end of a dock with my feet in the water. Just waiting for the rest of the house to wake up.

No issues with loud noises or enclosed spaces. I actually was planning to ask them about sneezing. I'm not sick at all, but yesterday I did have a couple of sneezing attacks. That got me thinking. Should be a fun time.

When they did one on my brain a few years back, I just went in with the mentality that I was going to take a nap. They gave me earplugs, and i just laid there and shut my eyes. Once in a while they'd ask me how I was doing, and I just replied "I'm good, how are you?"

The sneezing part is simply that they don't want you to move. It's a slow scan of your body, and any movement will distort the image and they'll have to restart the scan. The good part is that the scan is segmented, so it's not a single 1-hr scan (or however long your specific scan might be scheduled). It's actually a series of like 5-minute scans.

Twenty minutes until the five-day weekend. Hell yes!
 
Re: Rep retirement lodge CC - greetings from heathrow

I get a regular weekend and a random Tuesday off, because I'm conserving PTO. However, I have a feeling Monday is going to be a defacto day of sitting at the desk in my home office and doing nothing, because half the office and many of our clients have the day off.

Good Evening, Lodge!

It's Official! We bought the townhouse! Already moved 3 carloads.

The humidity at the lake is so low it's tempting to sleep out under the stars.

I'm in.
 
Re: Rep retirement lodge CC - greetings from heathrow

I'm happy to take a nap during it if I can.

I can nap with the best of them, and if you can do that, you're good. I'm also claustrophobic, so napping was good for me. :)

Congrats, LWB!
 
Re: Rep retirement lodge CC - greetings from heathrow

Didn't nap. Took about 20 minutes. It was a rather odd experience. It's 2017. You'd think the technology would be there to make the machine a lot less noisy. And each scan had a different noise. Why?

Different mechanisms is the simple answer. No two processes have the same noises, necessarily.
