Planner problems redux
Sep. 8th, 2023 12:35 ama joe rogan quote.
For those unaware, he's like rush limbaugh for bros from ages 20 to 60, roughly, and while clearly this quote was picked for being inspirational in a hackneyed Barney Stinson kind of way and was probably presented to the designer out of context of who the guy is, I really can't be having with that kind of quality control in a thing that's meant to be uplifting me. And then about a page or two later there was a cute little victim-blamey thing about attitude.
Look.
Yes, it's true that the emotional load of OMFG THE BIG C is potentially huge and not to be underestimated. And it's hard to avoid tripping over the line between Acknowledging A Problem That We Have As A Society and faceplanting into "well if you just didn't FEEL so bad about it...!!!"
But it keeps happening, and I'm not sure how much of it is me not feeling the way that everyone expects me to, and how much of it that this planner is just kind of shit in its attitude (and some of the fit and finish stuff). I have some big questions about the dietary advice in the beginning too.
I did score an earlier appointment for radiation on the day of the port install, at least in theory, so I hope that goes into the system helpfully. That'll mean that I come in way too early, hopefully recover in time for a bit of lunch, shuffle over to get my radiation, and then maybe Belovedest can get both of us home and taking naps before the traffic gets worst.
