It’s funny but for non-dog people: this is actually measuring something. If your dog is so upset that cheese is not interesting then that is a very upset dog.
You’re speaking from the point of view of a person who wants to do activities, or at least an activity. For some of us, any physical activity is repellent. Personally, I hate breaking a sweat, and I sweat profusely, at any weight or level of fitness. It’s why young me gave up on ballet; I was good enough to start auditioning for a corps, but nobody wants a sweaty swan. Now you have a point that putting on some music and dancing is less repellent to me than running down the street, but it’s still not whatchy’dcall FUN. And I still need a couple cups of coffee, a shit and a shower first, plus of course another shower afterwards.
The first thing I want to do when I wake up is to go back to sleep. The second, third, and fourth through 180,000,000,000th thing I want to do is go back to sleep.
There are only three things that get me out of bed: my dog is hungry or needs to pee, my body is hungry or needs to pee, or the annoying requirement that I have to work in order to give someone all my money so I have a place to sleep.
I’m not sure what phone you have, but getting a Pixel phone was life changing when it comes to handling spam calls. The automated call screening is amazing.
“Hi, I’m a Google Virtual assistant recording this call for the person you’re trying to reach. Before I try to connect you can I ask what you’re calling about?”
I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome so this would definitely make me feel better… but fuck it no way, I need my sleeps and I habitually stay up late.
You get to pick 2? I get to pick one, and it’s never reduce stress. And the exercise is just being on my feet at work. And the sleep quality sucks. Basically I get to pick zero.
Is “pharmacists seeing more patients” really a measure of something good? I’m a non-native English speaker so cut me some slack but all I can imagine is just longer queues in the pharmacy and more tired pharmacists (and people who now need to wait in the queue now).
“pharmacists seeing more patients” Implies that the queue moves quicker.
A pharmacist can only have so much time in their shift, so being able to more effectively use that time (see more people) would be a good thing.
That’s a noble goal but does adding more people help the (long-term only, please) effectiveness? At what point does it start hindering it?
I would assume that someone like a pharmacist has to be focused all the time, stakes is high…
Do we have precise data about how physiological state of a pharmacist is changing through the shift? Do we know whether or not the pauses between people – which we might or might not have considered a wasted time – are actually essential for their ability to stay focused and reliable? (Is the answer the same for all of them?) Or maybe they could actually still use part of that time in a productive way, right? Also, why is there lack of people in the first place?
Focusing solely on adding more people to the equation seems to neglect factors like this. This tells me that whoever this factoid is trying to impress is not someone who I would want to trust with managing a pharmacy (or anything except maybe some production line) in the first place.
I never got any “good feelings” from my healthy times. Working out was tiring and a chore. No matter how I worked out, with whom, where, for how long… No “workout buzz”
I got down to a 7 minute mile. Not amazing or difficult by any stretch, but not one getting there did I ever experience “the runner’s high”
Eating well gave me slightly more energy, but not enough to justify the extra cost and time to prepare.
I literally am not capable of “good sleep” without medication, and I can’t even afford the medications anymore.
I’ll just keep eating whatever I want, only exercising when someone asks me to, and trying to get as much sleep as possible before the sun rises until I hit my (definitely early) grave.
My dude, I totally appreciate that you’re trying to help, and please don’t stop encouraging people to work out because it REALLY DOES WORK for most people, but I spent the better part of a decade doing all kinds of things, from yoga to iron man segments, and not a single thing was enjoyable beyond the small amount of satisfaction of having done something hard and finished it.
I dropped 120lbs, and have stayed relatively the same weight since 2015, even with all the other stuff.
So I’m sure I learned more healthy habits, hence the weight being kept off, and I don’t regret a second of it, I have no desire to try again.
The only working out now is biking for enjoyment with my wife. And also when she feels the desire to go to the gym, I go with her.
I’ll agree with you. I’m forcing myself to get exercise daily and diet to lose weight because I had gotten back up to the weight at which I gave birth. And I’m old af and prediabetic.
So it’s necessary but it’s not fun.
And it will never be fun.
And it won’t make feel better the rest of the day either.
The most miserable I’ve ever been was when I was young and skinny and taking 2 hours of advanced ballet classes daily plus six hours of rehearsals every weekend.
The second most miserable was when I’d had 2 kids and temporarily got back down to my wedding weight.
Having no payoff in “feeling better” is a big part of why it never lasts.
Also, point of fact, I sweat the same disgusting amount at my slimmest as at my fattest, so don’t let anyone tell you different.
So I have no illusions about this time.
My doctor does, so at least I have spite to motivate me. I’ll show her she’s wrong, and at the same time I’ll put off the diabete another year, hopefully.
My sweating is genetic, my mother’s side of the family is all the same. I sweat at 300 the same as 160.
Working out for health reasons sucks, but if you’ve got enough reason for it, show that workout who’s boss. Spite is as good a reason as any. Staving off diabetes is even better.
That’s a more realistic take. I for one would want the pharmacist to get AI help, that’s fine. But not start taking double the patients. There’s a people interaction aspect to this too. It’s health care not care for animals to get them ready for tomorrow’s dinner. But seriously don’t eat animals, they got feelings too.
having to work within stone’s throw of a vending machine that i have to deal with people complaining about its fucking bullshit all the time, i feel like this sign is similar to the “whatever you do, DON’T go to scihub and download all your articles for free” “warning” that professors tell their students
I loved it when my professors put a “translation” from the previous textbook to current textbook in case someone “accidentally” bought the wrong textbook.
It’s more,“please don’t put the thing you put in people’s digestive systems into the food dispenser; that’s disgusting.” People have caught c-diff, vre, h-pylori, and the vowel hepatises from improperly cleaned GI-scopes.
Well the patients and families use them too and insurance doesn’t reimburse for hospital acquired infections so a patient catching something from the hospital means their care gets put down as money the hospital won’t get back.
