Admin taking months to update public facing polices that are 99% used digitally and still putting a full inaccessible hyperlink only in the document...

I love the statement that an update is optional but your computer becomes worthless & unusable without the update going through. That ISN'T OPTIONAL!

I am pretty sure my dad is literally using AI more & talking about how he loves it because he knows I hate it even though I have stopped talking to him about it to him. He's such an ass.

I have done a bunch of study surveys in my day and never in the last 15 years have I been asked my full DOB. Especially after a notification that they can't keep my email secure. I went from eager participant to absolutely not so fast.

The requirement of all information to use basic services anymore is irritating. Am I old now? I was fine with creating accounts & passwords to use stuff online, but IRL if you make me do that stuff, I am out.

Yup, came back with hornets spray. Is going to do it when I am at work tomorrow apparently. Told my mom to know how to call 911... I don't even know what to say at this point other than companies putting more than a phone call between services [email, location to charge more, etc.] is garbage.

I gotta say pest management companies requiring a subscription to come out after taking care of the inital pest is just leading to men being dumbasses [re: if we cant find someone, my dumbass dad is probably going to try & remove a hornets nest]. Stop requiring subscriptions!

Work computer: freezes, glitches, indicates "hey update me." Computer system: bios update. Work controlled updates: no update. Attempting to update elsewhere results in error. ???? Y'all want me to work when your own system prevents things from working right ????

Monday is Mondaying. Changed my Dexcom last night, kept me up with false lows from 2 am to 4 am. I finally calibrated it & it read me higher, turns out too high. Was fine with being in the 80s in the AM, but the 2nd calibration didn't take. So here I am treating a 55 mg/dl at work.

Management stop scheduling meetings during my already rescheduled therapy to make their other meetings challenge. Especially when they are a big reason I need therapy ☠️.

My new record for ADHD tax is almost 1k because no refund vacation & bad generic manufacturers of meds do not mix. I have never had such a bad reaction even from Mallinckroot. Camber & Granules suck [at least now]. Gonna have to try& get a different type of medication I cant handle this any more.

Well canceled my vacation anyway. Apparently the new generic adderall they gave me fucked me up really badly and I am definitely not in a good brain space to drive nor am I happy to go on vacation it was just going to be stressful the whole time.

The fact that interviews are scheduled prioritizing managers availability & not the staff the position will be supervising is truly something. I have been waiting over 2 years for a manager & the first time I EVER take a real vacation the interviews begin during it.

I spent months trying to get an insulin pump, & now shortages of infusion sets might put me back right where I started. Dumb body reacted badly to the Varisoft & there are significant Trusteel shortages. Tandem having a proprietary set amplifies their shortages too 🙄.

I love that because my institution wont pay people enough they basically renamed my department to hire someone else & it is going to become almost entirely driven by AI bc they set it up that way. I do not have a choice. We are based off a different institution that has ~9 ppl we have 3 total.

Feeling like crap before a presentation but it being unrelated to the presentation-- and then it makes you seem bad at presenting is fun (rude). If my body would not strategically break before minor inconveniences that'd be great.

Only natural for my blood sugar to tank 20 minutes before a meeting I present at [luckily I am sure ill be high when I present then 🙄].

This is leading me to trying alka-seltzer for the first time because I bought it out of nostalgia as ny grandmother always used it. Get to find out how much that will impact my blood sugar in real time.

Finding medications on mugs and asking my mom if she has taken them before is not something I ever expected to do. Yet it has now happened twice. I only bought 1 mug though so that's a win [of the 2, but I still bought 3].

In the US, it’s National Library Workers’ Day, and I would be remiss to let it pass without reminding you that the “library workers are magic” narrative leads bad places. Love, respect, and cherish them, but also pay them, staff libraries appropriately, and let them draw boundaries.

What is with restaurants fully removing all sauces when ordering to go. This is the 3rd restaurant to give *no sauce* that comes with the meal (not even on the side), but still tosses ketchup in the bag. I wouldn't care but then it throws off the fat content requiring significantly more insulin 🫠.

To throw me for a loop after chronically running a bit on the low end going into work [often dipping to the high 60s walking to the office] after breakfast -- I ran high today. Bonus is that I am working in a space that usually sees a decrease in stress so I typically do not run high. #t1d

Damn this was 3 months ago. So far I use significantly more basal on Lyumjev, still struggle dosing for lower carb or higher fat meals, but no longer prebolus which has been a significant improvement in my mental load. Suspect my low protein rises are covered by the basal increase.

Monday morning time to make sure every single update is done on my work device so I am not interrupted working on something important [I will be interrupted regardless].

Think we have a new record. 3 days into the semester & I already had a screaming, crying, raging, blood sugar raising breakdown about work. Normally I usually make it at least a month. Fuck re-organizations. I have yet to meet one that benefits staff especially disabled staff.

Mx Future Cyborg Librarian @mxmak.bsky.social · 31/12/2025
So far it seems okay, seems to work better for basal overall but little iffy on bolus depending on what I am having.

Switching from Novolog to Lyumjev shortly [been avoiding because I'm nervous, but this might reduce prebolus time & cost me less]. #T1D

If Jersey Mike's had the option to do Ham & Swiss on their app they would get so much of my money. It quite literally is the only thing that has stopped me ordering nearly a dozen times. I go back & check to see if I can & get so bummed. I hate provolone 🫠.

Blood sugar going up just before I am trying to leave the house after previously being stable post meal should be illegal. I know sitting still while driving will only send me up 30-70 mg/dl by the time I get there. Shit like this that takes time away from the day is what sucks the most.

What is the point of the to go stands if stores just keep the food behind their counter & dont mark it as complete? Like if they arent staffed well enough to have food out for pick up then why have a pickup space? Literally waited 10 min for my food thinking it wasn't ready & it was just sitting.

Mx Future Cyborg Librarian @mxmak.bsky.social · 11/11/2025
Is there irony that I had to sit still on the phone with my pump company & thats most likely why I am as high as I am post meal? Yeah. For sure lmao.

Do I give my program feedback that making me do an internship has made me have suicidal thoughts consistently for the first time in years & want to quit my job? Because the fact that they require an internship for someone working in the field for more than 5 years professionally is fucked up.

Low blood sugar is like everything is in 8-bit & high blood sugar is like driving at night with astigmatism & everyone has their brights on.
