A lot of parcels (from all carriers) are going wonky lately. I've fielded several complaints about parcels just sitting somewhere for several days before suddenly being delivered
I noticed the same thing, my tracking numbers weren't updating where the packages were as quickly the past couple weeks. Still got everything though, so no worries.

I need some advice. I've been applying for medical coding jobs all over the place. There is a hospital in my town who happens to be looking for coders. Unfortunately, this hospital has a reputation for incompetence, some of which I've personally witnessed, in multiple departments. I need work badly, but I don't want this hospital on my resume. What do I do?

Would having it on your resume be a real black mark for future jobs? I feel like in this crazy year, employers should be understanding of people getting jobs where they can

I almost got a Bengal kitten 2 years ago, and right now, with a "cute but stupid" regular kitten, I'm glad I didn't. And my kitt's a lazy donkey. And I'm a high energy human. After the things I've learned about cats the last 3 months, I now wonder what kind of crazy person wants a Bengal or a Bengal cross? :lol:
Yep..you do have to be slightly crazy to own a Bengal or the total love of wild things.
If you can survive the first 2 years from kittenhood to adulthood you end up with an incredibly loyal friend who has bonded with you tighter than you could imagine.
They are always ready for play and adventure and always interested in what you are doing and join in with nose and paws.
You can go for walks like a dog, come when called and will heel at your side like a dog.
They will watch and learn how to do things, opening doors and windows is as easy for them as you.
They have a huge vocabulary and will imitate your tones and voice, mine is in the process of learning to say hello instead of horrooww.
If you have a sense of fun and mischief yourself, Bengals react and bond with you as a partner in crime and fun, they are an experience, they are different in many non cat like things they do and attitudes return love to you in so many ways.
You have a cat that treats you as an equal like a brother or a sister and they will not be dominated over especially if they are close to the foundation cat. Their beautiful patterning and coloring come second place to their personalities and the way they explode with the joy of life and sense of fun.
They are different, require a lot of time spent with them and truck loads of patience but you have an animal that shares 150 percent of life with you, not just living with you and are a constant source of laughter, fun and adventure.
And a walk on the wild side too. 120370369_944776816014197_788564124482038756_o.jpg

Yum! What the heck is a frozen cappuccino? Do you eat it with a spoon? Never heard of QT. I love cappuccino.
QT is QuikTrip, a gas station. A frozen cappuccino is a slushy/icee (idk what you call them in your area) made with cappuccino mix. I think most gas stations have them, at least in the summer, maybe look around and see if it's common where you live.

These last few months of this year have been a financial struggle. I haven't been this broke since before I had a job and got an allowance from my parents. Thankfully the boys are stocked on food, and other than getting them a few toys, my Christmas shopping is pretty much done.

The Pet-X store near my house was having an amazing sale today, 20-30 percent off everything, and we left the store with a stuffed goodie bad of full sized cans (three or four cans), two toys, several sample bags of kibble (gave those to the dog), sample bag of stella and chewy morsels, and ziwi peak air dried, a few lick-able treats, and some coat and skin oil called Ultra Oil.

Wary of the xananth gum since they have never had that gum before, and try to keep it to guar and agar, but it wasn't too high on the list. They loved the lick tube packet thing from Tiki. Not something I would re-purchase often but a nice treat. They kept trying to hog it, which was funny to watch.

We'll see what they think of the cans. I've tried Hound & Gatos before. They didn't like the one I had bought. It was really dense and dry and they seem to only like rabbit when it's raw. This one is duck and chicken or turkey though so we'll see. They've never had Fromm before, though. Gave the Canidae to our dog because of the peas and carrots.

Thinking something like, I've really enjoyed getting to know you and learning about you. However, I'm not sure I'm feeling a connection to continue putting energy in (?). I wish you the best.
Only one thing I'd change...Switch "to continue putting the energy in" to "so I don't want to waste your time."

I bring the plastic ones back to the recycling, but it feels like such a waste,
LOL, plastic bags are my mainstay! There are LITTERBOXES! And, I use them to pad boxes for shipping. My Christmas presents that need packing material this year are going out with plastic grocery bags instead of packing peanuts or bubble wrap!
