You are assuming, incorrectly, that they are subject to US labor laws.

Still trying to deal with the pinched nerve in my back. Legs don't really work, so falling in the shower this morning was pretty shitty. And the medicine I'm taking makes my legs even more rubbery, but it takes away the "want to die" feeling I had before. Fuck you, 2020.

Sorry to hear, man. Is PT an option for you?

The neurologist referred me to a PT place, but they don't take my insurance. I'm going to look for somewhere that does. I still have to get 1 more MRI, then they're going to do a nerve conduction test, so I'm still not sure what my treatment options will be.

I know Duluth's a bit of a hike for you with traffic, but the last time I had to have PT for my ankle, I used Benchmark Physical Therapy. They likely have an office somewhere near you, and while I don't know their insurance acceptance, I can at least day the therapist I had with them was good.

Thanks for the info. Duluth isn't so far, it's closer than work. Do you happen to know a good acupuncturist? I want to use all the options available while I wait around for other tests and stuff.

Oof. I hope you find something that works for you! I take it a chiropractor can't help? I'm not sure where they draw the line between helping you, and okay go see a doctor.

I started with a chiropractor, he referred me to the neurologist. And he genuinely feels bad that he was unable to help more than he did (he's a great doctor).

Yikes! Hopefully something pans out soon!

Real busy already this morning. First day of classes. Faculty friends don't wear masks around each other. Students don't wear masks around each other when they are standing around. One teacher couldn't operate a projector, another couldn't operate a document camera, updated a couple users already, found a missing laptop that someone incorrectly put in storage, and checking laptop loaners that have come back in to make sure they are working correctly. whew!

Been doing new hire presentations for hours. On a break, finally.

Salaried exempt you mean.

Salary is a universal concept. Salaried exempt is an American one. The idea of non-exempt only exists in the US, so not just salaried.

tuesday morning.
work is like a ghost town, no emails, no messages. working from home, it's like they've all just upped and left. it's been like this for months, no contact, just the occasional email.
my wife got rung up & offered some work, so i'm nuking a fedora laptop & banging windows 10 on it.
but hang on, she'll only work in web based stuff, think i'll ubuntu it.
problem solved.
