There's a guy named Randy Ice in Murietta who is well known (specializes in cardiac) and he travels around doing clinics for all types of PT. You can call him and he'll answer questions and give advice on the phone.
He helped a runner I know some time ago and it was free.
oh yeah, sorry to hear about the injury.

Yes, who knows how many months she's had it (damn false negatives). Pretty much incapacitated. Missed senior year of high school Trying to get a home tutor to fake our way to let her graduate ..... etc etc ... The meds have not helped yet.
Really sucks. From an active soccer/lacrosse player, to a "90 year old" 17 year old. (Her 85 year old grandmother is in better shape)

Stopped on my ride for coffee. As I sat down, the table next to me brought up a some thought provoking stimuli. Apparently, cycling isn't healthy for you because it oversizes your hip flexor muscles. I'm thinking about quitting cycling now and getting a hip flexor test.

Welcome to my world. I am a "lead" person on my team which means I do some extra **** but have no authority that really matters. My office has 2 FTEs due to the size of the area we manage, but my life is SO much easier when my angry-lady coworker isn't around. I've had 3 people work with me in this office (also near our supervisor, so easy peek-ins): first was on her way to being fired, second was removed from a Grad desk so they stuck him here and only moved him out when my current peer had issues enough with some power players that she was removed from her desk and effectively banned from ever working that region again.
I am the trustee of a goddamn halfway house for terrible employees.

The biggest issue I have with my co worker is he's a know it all. If I have an issue (like I'm having now) I can't really share it with him because he'll see it as a competition and try to show me up. The good thing is he is really smart, and between us problems get figured out rather quickly.
Oh wait, he is annoying. The guy talks non stop. Sometimes I'll leave our office when he's telling me about the 60's, Baseball, or how hard IT was in the 80's. I'll come back five minutes later and he's still on the same topic, never noticing I left.
Lately my thing is to memorize his stories (which I hear at least 3x) and tell them to others as if they were my own. It confuses the hell out of him and ticks him off.

Ahh. My officemate is my age, but just lives a very angry life. She's seemingly always sullen about something. Doesn't ever talk. If I ask how her weekend was I get an "OK" in response, and nothing more, ever. She is always taking personal calls, in conspiratorially-quiet spanish (I don't speak it anyway), at her desk for hours every day.
Basically, if you've ever been in a relationship with a girlfriend or wife who was pissed off at you and you were afraid to say anything all the time? That's how it is for me at work. Except that we never make up, it never gets better, she just continues to brood.

There was a few-months where I let it get to me and she turned me into a version of her. Now it's like a game: "how friendly can I be to this person that seemingly hates everyone?"
It's like how I keep friend requesting @tetonrider on facebook. Someday everyone will cave and we'll get along!

Well my supervisor just gave me a $100 credit gift card.
Hey, it's not a raise, but I'll take it.
