Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
I got up from my desk to go get a bottle of water, and on the other side of the partition, two coworkers (a tech and an advisor) were talking. As I rounded the corner, I hear the technician say, "...so Charlie is going to come over tonight, and we'll pull it out so we can measure it fully extended."
<pause>
I just stopped and stared at them for a minute. It was a glorious moment while I waited for them to realize what I just heard. Much laughter ensued and it was hilarious.
The discussion was about a tonneau cover that the tech was going to give the coworker, but they needed to measure it to ensure it fit his truck. But dang, that was one for the ages.

Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
