There’s a grad student here who’s a gossip. I was talking to her in confidence about my struggles with my advisor. She told my advisor 
I asked my other phd friend and apparently this student had done the same to her
The last two times I’ve thrown out my back were because:
- I took an Ambien, had a really good night’s sleep, but didn’t roll over all night.
- I was brushing my tongue and gagged while I was bent over the sink.
Both times put me out of commission for about a week.

There’s always one. I’m generally guilty of keeping things too close to my chest but I think that, even if you don’t go to my lengths, holding off and getting close to a few people before telling them potentially damning material is a good idea, as a rule.

I have thrown it out before loading the dishwasher but this feels a bit different. Not like it’s “thrown out” with a slipped disc. Hard to describe.
Only thing I changed was add in a few minutes of jump rope (on my workout padded flooring).
It’s hard to walk to this morning. I must be getting old now and my body can’t cope. Going to add in mobility/yoga work into my exercise routines.
Edit: Getting better as I walk around and move today (but I also took two aleve this morning). Yoga and stretching for the next few days is the Rx.

Like the Nobel economist that said to just mint a 1 trillion-dollar coin to raise the debt ceiling and that it wouldn’t contribute to inflation.
Brilliant idea. Pull a magic coin out of your ass. All of the problems solved!

This will go for work places as well, never trust co-workers with comments about the company or bosses.

Mine has been iffy for many weeks now after being laid up for a while.
The mobility & prehab stuff definitely helps.

I’ve resorted to putting in BS in stuff that is required but that I refuse to answer.
My kid’s school wants their SSN information (optional thankfully) but I don’t trust that their firewall is strong enough to protect that data.

Probably a good idea. My SSN has been compromised at least twice due to a data breach.

I am reading a book on quantum computing right now (“Quantum Supremacy” by Michio Kaku) and whoever can make quantum computing commercially viable will instantly destroy all current encryption protocols.

Been a week since my blood draw for quarterly labs and I still don’t have results…
For how much they charge I expect faster feedback.
