OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
I would be track bound tonight had I just done that TNIA gave me a credit for any other event for the next year (can't remember if I shared that) which was really awesome of them So no financial loss, maybe I'll just save that registration for the BRZ and forget about it with the Beemah.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 12:09 pmYea I got shit on here for taking my car to a shop to get the brake bleeding done... but this is exactly why. I have had things that went "wrong" even though everything was done "right". The shops just have better equipment if they are worth a damn.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 9:09 pm
Hmmm, Friday night got with some friends from work. Saturday rode my bike to go get my car I left at the coworker's house, then went on an MTB ride, helped a buddy move a fridge, did some yard work. Sunday I pretty much did house shit most of the day, had to fix some doors and replace some locks among other small things. I also bled the brakes in the BMW, put two full bottles through and they're spongy as hell and super shit. I guess I need to bleed out the DSC module or whatever the fuck, what a pain. Also I'm going to have to bail on TNIA this week because of that.
Now I'm in Atlanta for work and have a new coworker tagging along to come to my customer meetings as sort of training. New guy is OK, he's into cars (owns a Rivian and an NB Miata) and a nice guy but somehow it feels like we're not quite hitting it off. I want to go home.
I'm still quite with work.
That's one job that's quite annoying to do and doesn't cost much at a "shop". $200 is worth a couple hours of frustrations.

Sent all my bloodwork and the semen analysis to the clinic I’m using for the fertility stuff. HCG has been out of production for a while due to supply chain issues, so they’re going to have me run a peptide instead. Because my sperm count:quality was still so high even on my wild test dose; they’re prescribing me test as well, so now I won’t be illegal anymore! Will be nice to be able to travel with it and have the prescription. Also nice to know that it’s pharma grade and made in a lab vs the stuff I’ve been buying off the street that Jerry makes in his bathtub.

I put in for boss man’s job. Had the interview today. Apparently nailed it and I’m moving on to the next round, where I get assessed by a 3rd party company who evaluates people for manager positions.
More to come? I don’t even know if I actually want this job or not. But figured I’ll be doing everything anyway if they find someone else to be the manager, I just won’t get paid for it. So why not get paid for it.

Tri-blend of different esters? Or are there two other things in it besides test?

Hormone clinic based out of Las Vegas. This one is called Forever Young, there is another good one called Transcend. Both are reputable and can help you out where a doctor won’t. Most docs won’t touch you unless you’re actually below the “normal” threshold. These guys promote being at the top of the threshold, so even if you’re in the 300-400 range, they’ll help you get up to the 800s to optimize your hormones.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 4:29 pmWhat kind of lab did you use to get the legal prescription etc ?SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:29 pm Sent all my bloodwork and the semen analysis to the clinic I’m using for the fertility stuff.

Might as well get paid for the work, you've got the education and competence to move up the ladder and at some point the paychecks have got to be , might as well target those positions. Good luck with your interview(s), hopefully the "Bobs" will see that 'you've got upper management written all over you'.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:06 pm I put in for boss man’s job.

Dang man, hope that it all goes well with the Bobs (nice reference @Mario) and if you get it it winds up being a tolerable level of management/politicalJohnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:06 pm I put in for boss man’s job.

To your last point about doing everything, it is certainly something to keep in mind. It's a pretty long story that I won't fully get into here, but my wife very recently got pretty fucked at work on a similar vein. She is 'Dean of Technology and Innovation' at a K-8 independent school in downtown Charlotte. She's been there for four+ years and is very dedicated to her work, loves ed tech, always doing professional development, designing new curriculum for the school, managing IT projects, and basically going above and beyond because she loves it. They also have an 'IT Manager' and the two of them make up the tech team. The IT lady is nice and hard working but super disorganized, basically a stoner who is great as a help desk for teachers and students but takes no initiative/leadership. Well she just got promoted to Director of Technology and now is essentially in the second highest tier of management below the 'Head of School' (AKA rich school talk for a principle that makes like $320K/year). This IT lady has been at the school for less time, basically everything she does is based on documentation and processes that Allison created, etc. and now is getting all of the money and glory for the team I guess just because she had manager in her title previously and is good at faking it in meetings?
in a way I'm glad Allison didn't get a title with more responsibility because she is sort of addicted to work as-is and I think she would be less happy in that role more distanced from students/teaching which is what she loves. But still, a major slap in the face when you're doing all of the actual leadershit and work and others are getting credit.
So maybe worth it to take the promotion.
I need to get another test and I think I'm just going to go to a clinic place this time, the doctor's were all full of shit. If they prescribe me something to boost, will I also get more jacked?SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:29 pm Sent all my bloodwork and the semen analysis to the clinic I’m using for the fertility stuff.

It will depend on what they prescribe. If they give you Clomid or HCG (but the company that makes that is having supply chain issues, so it’s out of stock AFAIK), those will both raise your speed count and test levels. Some other stuff may not raise your test levels. Then with the higher test levels if you train harder you’ll see significantly more gainz.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:23 amI need to get another test and I think I'm just going to go to a clinic place this time, the doctor's were all full of shit.

Nice! I always use Test Enanth, but before this I’d been stacking it with Masteron Prop, and that prop ester releases so quicklygolftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 7:12 amTri blend of different esters, cyp, eth, and propionate Did a little reading and its supposedly a more even release.
A tri blend of test like that would be really cool.
Brother in KY is going to check this out Saturday. Might fly down and buy it if it's good.
