And of course, TODAY, the last day before a long weekend, when we're all scrambling to get 3 days worth of work done in 8 hours, TODAY is the day our internal webserver decides to shit itself.

SOMEBODY SHOOT ME
 
@AussieT can't wear his wedding band. Electricity and radiation + metal = me collecting some benefits I'd prefer not to collect
This is a good idea. Mr. Z is in the process of switching careers into one that will involve a lot of electricity, and I don't think the possibility of degloving has occurred to him yet.
There's also ceramic rings.

Nate is an electrical engineer and we wanted him to be able to wear a ring while working on projects, so we went with ceramic - doesn't conduct electricity. :D They're even designed to 'shatter' instead of getting caught on your finger, which is kind of cool.

Just wanted to throw that option out there.
 
I was at an industrial client's once heating up my lunch in their kitchen and I saw a flyer pinned to the board..."Why we don't wear our rings in the shop" and you could turn it over to see why....I should not have turned it over.
 
If we're talking about rings anyway: how does that work in the heat? I mean, I don't wear rings at all at the moment, but I sort of assume I will wear one eventually...But I know for a fact my fingers swell up like crazy when it's warm - my wrist watch band is currently 2 sizes bigger than in winter, and my fingers swell up as much as my wrists do. I'd imagine a ring'd either fall off in winter or be way too tight in summer. Is that a completely unfounded fear or is it just another annoyance to deal with? :p
 
Hate to be the combo breaker, but trying to navigate insurance coordination of benefits sucks.

I'm about to go into collections for medical bills that should've been paid by the insurance company months ago.

It's completely founded.
I deliberately bought my ring a little bigger on purpose so I would still be able to wear it after my knuckles swell as I age. I do have the seasonal problem you describe, but I fixed that by painting a little UV curable gel on the interior to shrink the inner diameter to a more comfortable size. I have to reapply it every few years but it works fine.
My son has asked me at least 10,000 questions today and it's not even noon....omg
Medicating your kids for peace and quiet: Is it ever OK?
There are times where it's certainly highly desirable.

I managed to pick a fight with my wife this morning. I am so happy we have a 3 day weekend ahead of us and a bloody social-get-together with co-workers. Big-effing-ugh.
 
Been skirting the line on my bank, putting a little more into savings than I should have, so that the area between last paycheck and the one I'll get deposited tomorrow had very little wiggle room. I did not realize how little.

I had $3 in the account. A $4 piece of shit meal from a fast food place that I was trying to just get some food after a false scare with my wife at the ER turned into a $34 meal. Fucking hell, that's almost five Chipotle burritos.

I transferred money back out of savings and wish I'd done it sooner.
 
Banks are the worst.

I'm up in my shitty hometown for a friend's wedding BY MYSELF so I just decided to stay with my aunt. I hate this town. They're going to have to pay me for me to ever come back here. The whole north of Alberta is on fire, so the town is like Silent Hill with the smoke. I'm so fucking bored. TV is the worst. There is literally nothing to do here.
 
Man all this talk about degloving from casual incidents is weird. Try working near rotating equipment, that's how you get a degloving accident. Myself I feel very weird working with my rings on at my current job, gor years they hung off a string in my pocket or were in my glasses case at my bench.
 
Just finished Flowers for Algernon and am preeeeeeeeeeeeeetty sad.
That book was so much torture for our family. My daughter was assigned to read in in high school, unfortunately she has dyslexia and has a little struggle with regular reading as is. She can read, but can take her a little longer to work out what her brain is telling her vs what is actually on the page. Some portions of that book were super difficult for her to get through.

Oh, geez. Considering the subject of the book, that's... wow.
