Fergasun Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 @The Evil Genius Maybe deserves its own thread.... such a powerful singer. I remember all the controversy about her on SNL but not really understanding why.... she was way ahead of public stance on Catholic Church abuse issue.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had reportedly struggled with mental health issues the past decade (as well as health issues, endometriosis) so sadly I suspect suicide (without actually knowing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People prioritize communication attempts differently. I prioritize phonecalls and voice-mail over texts, teams Messages, or emails as I typically the latter group can wait given they were sent in that manner. When I was on call, we had a process for turning alert emails into text messages and responsible for making sure we didn't miss them, mine was an air raid siren. At my current my current position it's inappropriate to send an urgent email alone and expect immediate action in the context of all the emails we get. People that know me know I hate sms so much ill leave phone in different places to avoid the sense of having to respond to every sound my phone makes. I'm not the one to do Chapter book short message service conversations with, jus because our technology allows it means nothing to me.

PleaseBlitz Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I've been informed by my younger colleagues that use of a voice call is considered "an escalation." Needless to say, I call them as much as possible or just show up in their actual office doorway. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolz, I sometimes hesitate to delete voice-mail from my mom, sister, or wife...something very analog about it...but that's jus me...I spent 4 months with a flip phone earlier this year only to accept that world is gone and left behind now...

China Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My children never bothered to set up the voicemail on their cell phones, so I can't leave them a voicemail. So if I call and they don't answer I have to text if I want to leave a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I haven't been in job market in a while...do employers still call to try to setup interviews? The cyber job that got me back to DC I didn't see a single face (not even a video call) until I was signing a W-4 then doing orientation...but they didn't text me to see if I was interested...

Mosquitos, however, seem to have an affinity for me, plus they itch, so I can only assume. Last time I was at a lake a few weeks ago I got three big ol bites. I believe I read once mosquitos are attracted to certain blood types, I must have what they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Well, if you're under covers, it's harder for mosquitos to get to you, but spiders crawl under covers all the time. My experience has been that you can hear the mosquitos when they are flying near your head, but you never notice spiders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbyrwock Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Not to worry you, but if the bites tend to be more clustered than random, you might check for bed bugs. Had an Aunt and Uncle complaining about mosquitoes and they eventually found out they had picked up bed bugs on travel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
