Things changed so fast it made my head spin.

So while I was out trapping near SLO, as mentioned in my previous post, I got a call from my boss who had received an email from personnel that said I had exhausted my days and only had 13 available to work in May and June. This the same day I was telling my co-worker he needed to keep track of his days and that I needed to take a look at mine to

Yeah the whole "days" thing is confusing in the first place. As a Sci Aid I'm technically not full time and the way the whole rule/mechanic works is that it's automatically assumed that a Sci Aid will work full time for 3/4 of the year and then not at all for 3 months.

There's a limit to the amount of hours I can work in a year (resets on January 1st) and the amount of days (resets after 3 months of no timesheets OR is based off of hired date and uses previous year's matching month to calculate number of days able to work in that month. I THINK. That's what I'm getting out of the latest explanation.)

And it turns out it's not quite as dire as my boss made it out to be. Since I worked 11 days last July, I should be able to work 11 this July and that's on top of the 13 I had remaining plus the 9 I was able to salvage with corrected timesheets. All of this pending review by personnel.

Re: diagnosis. The interesting part for me is that I didn't have any idea something might be wrong. All I did was go in for a tetanus booster and take the blood tests that were recommended. Now that I have it (the diagnosis) it does explain some things though. I'm not sure which series is being used.

Re: cochlear implants. I suppose so! Though I could understand some people missing the bit about how the sub-headings provided were just examples and interpreting it as required components.

Sound like something that could be modeled quite easily. :)

Thanks for the explanation.

>diagnosis
I assume that you know what I meant by a linear/log series (*promptly steps off a cliff*) so I was basically hoping that your doctor would find the right amount quickly while not overshooting (as I'm not a MD, I don't know when you have to switch from log to linear, if at all).

Sure do (re: log/linear), the problem is that the hormone takes a while to build up and take effect so there hasn't even been an opportunity to adjust dosage yet.
We're just starting with the lowest dose and in July I take another blood test to see how it's doing. I suppose I'll find out then!
