:) gluten wouldn't account for the issues w/ meat.


I think you'd be surprised.
Yeah the meat itself is GF (if its unadulterated) but most kind of seasoning has the potential to undermine that.
As do any cross contaminated utensils used to serve.
As well as serving areas.
And then there's the side dishes.
Basically, there's so much naturally GF food that we (celiacs) can't eat because of seasoning, prep and cross-contamination.
It's worse that you'd imagine.

I certainly can't drink beer.

Mmmk.


I feel for you. My good friend's GF can't eat gluten, so I've encountered the issue before.

My thing is, I usually like my food plain without seasonings/sauces/spices, so I never consider those. Meat is just meat.

That sucks so much. 2 hours seems like such a severe reaction.

If youre sufficiently sensitive to it, the meat could be prepped on a grill where a different piece of meat that had been marinated in a sauce that contained gluten had been previously, and that would be enough to trigger a reaction. It's an extreme example but illustrates just how fucked cross-contamination can be for that.

Apparently not flossing can mess up your teeth.

I loathe flossing, so my dental hygienist gave me these things you can buy at the store...they are little, soft, one-use picks that you slide in between your teeth (only one end goes in) and it does the job of the floss without the need to floss. Once I started doing that, my gums firmed up well. Worht a shot if it's the process of flossing with the string that irritates you.

My problem is my general laziness which has led to years of not flossing. My teeth already have a lot of problems because of that. Although what you suggest does sound a lot easier than using actual floss to ... floss ,so I'll check it out.
But yeah, my visit to the dentist's is still messing with my day.

@GH: Yeah that's probably what my teeth look like right now.

I went from a 8/10 review, to a 3/10 review. The last six months have been horrible and over the top hard… hardest shit…I jumped through every hoop. Worked extra shifts…overtime..everything.
I can and will likely be fired. I don’t know how I go to work tomorrow and work hard anymore!!!
I make more then my manager. It’s a sales job… I am really good at this shit. I will persuade anyone into anything. That is my skill in this world…
I did nothing wrong. I work hard as work as ‘omsbudman”..It’s retention sales…I’m not going to lie.
My hard statistics show that I out preform literally 96% of my peers. On “sales” I’m like top 10 of 794 people((9)). I did the math since that is public knowledge and well fing boredom. or Ego?

(((Nico’s perception…says I make too much..and I really think they are training my replacement)))

I’m going to pop off a email to HR, but that is sadly hopeless as I work for Goliath../cough /cough. Is this a mature response?

Just a super disappointing day in reality land…………

Overall I will be fine…and know every person goes through this uncertainty at some point…SOOO I’m just gonna read comics..and escape!! fallout comes out when? I have literally the best friends ever, an amazing family, and lots of people/groups to lean on.

Someday’s Reality can just be fucking merciless…and Scary.

I used to work in sales. The above is one reason I'd not go back to it - I remember that stress all too well.

10 days until Fallout, is it?

Ask your direct supervisor in e-mail how you can improve and what the company wants from you.

Basically, you're asking for your job description or revised job description, whatever it may be.

Is it really friday already?

I had break whole week and Im pretty sure it should be thursday today.

I know there was some shenanigans with time this weekend here, but that by far does not explain where did that one day go.
