ty interview follies august 7 2026 august 4 2026 reltney mcfee 1 comment it happened again i asked a soul have you felt like you were chilled and they gazed off into the distance as if considering exactly how much time dilates once you have achieved the velocity of 98 c anybody reading this ever had chills did you have to ponder whether or not you were indeed chilled me neither similarly when i ask you if you have felt feverish replying i have a headache strikes me as akin to telling your mechanic when he asks you when your vehicle makes that funny noise well i drove it back from bagwanistan and never had a problem sort of at a tangent to the information i or in my hypothetical your mechanic was seeking and another similar head to desk experience arrives when the named patient announces that he has that parasite of course i ask what experience led this soul to that conclusion and of course i get told i heard about it on the tv cool story i myself heard on the tv about cletus winning the lottery disappointingly it does not appear to have resulted in my winning the lottery nor accruing the monetary influx that likely cletus is now managing life in da city pains in my fifth point of contact customer service spit july 31 2026 july 15 2026 reltney mcfee 2 comments recently my daughter in law had a plumbing problem she called a national chain shop who alleged that they had particular expertise in managing sewer outflow obstruction problems but who shall remain nameless these worthies did her wrong she asked me for some thoughts on how she ought to respond my response was once you have entered google reviews next door reviews and website reviews i would consider the better business bureau their national office the county clerk of the county in which they do business since they have to register to do business under an assumed name the state department of commerce license to be in business and collect sales use taxes the state bureau licensing occupations such as plumbing their local plumbing union and since they screwed you over using federally regulated telephone lines i d also complain to the fcc federal department of commerce and i ll see what else i can come up with once i draw in a breath she asked me for some thoughts regarding her note s of complaint i have here a draft dealing with this shop bunga bunga office on potrezebie hwy reminds me of the old story of the high school english teacher who was confronted by a student who complained about the grade he had received on an essay i don t think i deserved an f for this essay the teacher responded neither do i but that is the lowest grade that they will let me give you i graded this office as one star because were i able to grade them accurately it would be such a low score that like a black hole good grades earned by offices in states far removed from bunga bunga flyover state would have their own grades sucked into the vast gravity well of these dipshits awful abysmal terrible negative grade that only by leaving the continental united states could any of these dipshits offices ever earn a score measurable by contemporary science the soul with whom i spoke after they simply failed to show up and who evidently is such a waste of air that even his own mother would not provide him with a name told me that when my credit card was declined they simply assumed that i had canceled cool story so when numbnuts goes to the grocery and his card is declined the store employees chase him out of the store and return the groceries to the shelves or having gone to a restaurant once his card is declined they just hand him gloves and direct him to wash 120 worth of dishes no further conversation or maybe hear me out they might gosh spitballing here telephone a fool and have a conversation about how they might be paid once that card had been declined just like every other chucklehead in business since the invention of charge cards over 100 years ago since they did not in any way provide any sort of timely warning that left me a single mother and my 2 young children with a halfway functioning toilet a condition that a i had sort of thought that they were in business such as it is to remedy and b now had me back to square one in my quest to remedy thanks name redacted buttheads fun and games fun with suits oops uncategorized grooming and hygiene july 24 2026 july 15 2026 reltney mcfee 3 comments recently my employer sent out an e mail regarding grooming and hygiene they spent something like 3 or 4 pages detailing acceptable grooming standards and consequences

appliance july 17 2026 july 3 2026 reltney mcfee 4 comments something on the order of a dozen years ago tdw mark ii and i purchased a refrigerator this particular fridge a samsung has been trouble free until we moved it in the course of our great kitchen disaster once we got the electricity up to speed and the plumbing and all the other bother that we lucked into well we noted that the fridge woud occasionally trip the circuit powering it should we oh i don t know have lessee refrigerated food or something else costly and important therein that might pose a bit of a problem we connected it to another non gfi outlet and had one or two circuit trips but generally it functioned ok since functioned ok and refrigerator do not belong in the same thought in contrast to refrigerator and absolutely reliable without fail tdw mark ii telephoned the samsung repair service 800 number these worthies stated that they would require a sales receipt for a fridge that was about a dozen years old before they would consider arranging a service call and no that was not the dumbest part of this story sadly i asked tdw if she had shared her surprise at finding that these fine folks warranted their refrigerators for 12 or more years yes sarcasm you knew that didn t you she owned that she had not because she was so surprised that she was left without words you may be surprised to learn that we do not have that receipt as was i well no i was completely unsurprised she called samsung repair back and somehow spoke to a soul who would arrange for a samsung repairman to come out bad news i shit you not the phone drone told my wife that there would be a charge of 145 to schedule the service call payment for the service call at a price to be announced later would be over and above that payment of 145 which 145 fee would only pay for scheduling the service call this fee would not be applied to the charge for the service call itself oh no that would be another charge altogether unsurprisingly we did not schedule the service call we figured that repairing our present fridge would cost us in all likelihood 145 to schedule the service call and probably 200 for the service call itself and probably 400 1000 for the part s required to bring it to acceptable levels of reliability i suspect that i am not the only one who thinks that 145 200 1000 new refrigerator or damned near our next fridge will a be repairable and b not samsung and c made in america if such a thing is possible in 2026 parenthetically tdw called me earlier that day reporting feeling ill noting her bp was 90 53 with a heart rate of 56 i suggested that her interaction with samsung might have remedied her bp heart rate problem she reported that it certainly had cats check your preps fun and games off duty housekeeping this and that july 10 2026 july 3 2026 reltney mcfee leave a comment yeah i used your flashlight whatchu gonna do about it how can you tell when your cat is using your flashlight as she attempts to retrieve her toy from beneath your fridge cat texts the other day i texted an article regarding tick bites to one of my partners then i set my phone down screen up and wandered off to do whatever i returned to see the characters åwsderr sent as a reply to her comment of interesting who knew my cat spoke swedish cat food labels today i refilled the container of cat food and updated the cat food label we keep therein tdw mark ii informed me that the last week had seen 3 episodes of kitty spew so perhaps our next outing might not feature the hairball formula since our kitties stomachs appears to not enjoy same notice that on the right there is only one date last bag previous label discarded on the left two dates both what this stuff is as well as when last bag was opened then there was the refresh my meds fun ness to be had we had gone camping a couple of weeks ago and with a few days off it seemed time to check and refill refresh my toilet kit meds and stash o

stuff that you have to check update and refill or refresh ah the busy fulfilling life of a survivalist duty life in da city pains in my fifth point of contact what a jerk july 3 2026 june 17 2026 reltney mcfee leave a comment ever wonder about the difference between a war story and a fairy tale a fairy tale begins once upon a time and a war story begins this is no shit there i was once upon a time long ago and far away i was mid leveling at a clinic some soul arrived having injured his knee and found that extended standing such as was required in the schooling said individual was presently undergoing was painful progressing as the day went on to the point where i cannot bear to continue to stand on it that might present a problem this soul had spent years getting to this point and appeared reluctant to miss completing schooling if at all possible to power on through my non radiologist read of the knee x ray did not reveal any break nor any dislocation so i prescribed my routine care plan rest good luck ice several times a day elevate your knee and ibuprofen and given this soul s circumstances i prescribed crutches and a rigid knee immobilizer yeah that s right i said immobilizer dah dah dah dramatic foreshadowing a while later i received a phone call from the local medical supply store an employee thereof told me that they had my prescription for a knee immobilizer and they had no immobilizers in stock could i prescribe something else i inquired what else did they have well began the employee we have a hinged knee brace very nice will this hinged knee brace immobilize this patient s knee uh no hmm can you explain to me how this thing that you do have which will not do the thing that i need it to do will be at all helpful to this patient i did next hear her as if in an aside to somebody next to her just more than whisper this guy s a jerk my initial thought unspoken was my dear sweet summer child you imagine that this is jerk reltney oh no no this this is nice reltney when it comes to jerk reltney i have been tutored by olympians if you want jerk reltney well take cover my spoken words were what else do you have well i have this thing that is humungous and clunky an in no way will fit beneath this patient s scrubs in any way shape manner or form will that work i suppose that it will immobilize his knee and an unproductive conversation followed curiously as i was typing this the gentleman repairing my washing machine came in to replace the latch when he opened the box labeled as the latch inside he found a water valve

had some variety of creeping crud featuring coughing think cough up a lung coughing at something like hour to two hour intervals which neatly coincides with the middle of rem sleep which since i was attempting to sleep was kind of inconvenient i had indeed followed my own advice employing claritin or zyrtec flonase or some nasal steroid spray lots of fluids and rest see above to determine how well that worked after long about day 5 maybe 6 my partner offered to box up my lung after cleaning it up and setting on my desk for reimplacem...
