My speaking fees fund the pro bono clinical work I do. People living paycheck to paycheck get discounts from me, not almost-billion-dollar tech companies.

ERA: We paid you for the first unit of the testing you did, but we denied the add-on units.
Me: Why?
ERA: Because you never billed the first unit.
Me: Yes I did. You paid me for it.
ERA: We have no record of it. This is your mistake.
Me: So do I re-submit?
ERA: We won't accept the secondary code without the primary code.
Me: So I should bill a new primary code?
ERA: We already paid the primary so that would be fraud.
Me: So just the secondary?
ERA: No, a secondary with no primary will be denied.

@GreenSkyOverMe OMG that's what I said!

Happy one-year wedding anniversary to my two bridesmaids who married each other!!

One of my keyboard stickers fell off so I guess I have one F to give today

I am out of town and apparently Armani has been demanding Husband to tell him where I am

The fun part about living in Sioux Falls and traveling is I can go from my front door to my gate in 15 minutes. There were three people in front of me in the TSA line and that’s three times more than usual

I'm really enjoying reading local real estate listing because I've learned that "Walking distance to the park" means "Two miles away and across a highway" and "Just needs a little love" means "Should probably be condemned"

Dear IRS: Why do I need to verify my identity three separate times to pay my quarterly taxes? Is someone trying to fraudulently pay them on my behalf? Can we let them??

Husband: What are you watching?
Me: This therapist is reacting to Sister Wives.
Husband: So you're watching him watch the show?
Me: Yes.
Him: Meta.

Some friends took us to see Shin Godzilla last night and I have to say, Godzilla facing a conflict and then needing to immediately nap for two weeks is very relatable.

Vera tried to pounce on my full coffee cup this morning, and the threat of being splashed with hot coffee might be a more effective wake-up tool than actually drinking it.

Armani had another crash during the night so it’s good he was at the vet. They’re continuing to monitor him today to make sure he’s actually stable and figure out what he needs for his treatment plan. The vet tech says the cone is for the staff’s protection because he is feeling well enough to live up to his “spicy” reputation!

@NanoRaptor If you suddenly start experiencing a haunting, check for a CO leak before you call an exorcist

(Edit because I had a brain fart)

You know, it’s pretty irresponsible that these documentation platforms are starting to shove AI scribes and note writers down our throats without any mention that malpractice attorneys recommend against using these tools, and some even have started writing into policies that they won’t cover complaints related to use of AI

So I'm reviewing sleep apps for an article and when people try to write when they're angry I think they just get silly. "BetterSleep? More like WorseSleep." Give this person a Pulitzer.

@cosmicspittle He did, actually I looked up his website after and apparently he’s been pushing the state legislature to reverse laws criminalizing homelessness and addiction

I met a man who’s running for mayor and he asked if he could film our conversation for his campaign, so I said yes and then info dumped about mental health care access and how our local government can support citizens because I know how to seize an opportunity

One of the companies I consult with dropped a heads up in the Slack channel that someone was sending out requests claiming to be their CEO asking for Apple gift cards and not to respond because it’s a scam. I replied I know he only accepts Google Play cards but nobody laugh reacted so I’m sharing my joke here because I need dopamine
