I was gonna post the rest of his pics, but BeltChecker doesn't seem to want me posting more than 2 pics in a row. They're on IG here: https://www.instagram.com[...]6zoz9yq8tq
I've infected Beltchecker, so now it also doesn't like kids? :P

You live in the USA, so I totally wouldn't be surprised if there was a service where you could swap your kids for squirrels. Almost certainly cheaper. :P

At work this morning dealing with a guy who claimed to get hurt at work. His came here with an old injury and now he is acting like it happened while working in our company. I can't stand people that do that. So many people in construction do that sort of thing all the time. Dealing with the comp people doesn't make it any easier since they always and I mean always side with the person pulling the scam. The legit folks get screwed all the time though which makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well now I have to deal with the guy. I have him on modified duties and hopefully he will 'heal up' and get back to work onsite as soon as possible. So annoying........................................... Anyway hope you all have a great day!!
One of my employees came in a couple days ago with a doctor's note instructing him not to lift anything over 10lbs for 2 weeks. He then claimed the doctor told him to also stay off his feet, but forgot to write it down. I think he was just trying to get out of working. He seemed to be waking fine and didn't have a problem standing outside to smoke a cigarette before coming in. We told him he could either take off for the 2 weeks unpaid or come back with an updated doctor's note listing all restrictions.

If I made an offer like that I'd be arrested here in Ontario Canada. It is a mess

This wasn't one of mine, but I know of a W/C case where the employee kept on making up new restrictions that the doctor didn't give her. They kept trying to put her on light duty assignments and she'd insist that doing light duty task X was aggravating her injury and keeping her in pain. They contacted the doctor who seemed to have picked up that this was a litigious employee/patient and the doctor was refusing to give the employer anything new. The employee was clearly just trying to make herself into enough of a PITA that they would send her home with pay, but this is a legally gray area for the employer because you don't want to be accused of aggravating the injury, even if you kept to the doctor's restrictions religiously.
So they put her at a desk and told her to answer the phone when it rang. They told her she could get up to stretch her legs as much as she needed. They told her she was not allowed to read a book or look at her cell phone or do anything personal while on the job, her only task was to sit at that desk and answer the phone.
By the way, the phone wasn't actually hooked up to anything.

This is why you always use the same doctor and build a good relationship with them. My doctor will put down whatever I want him to. My final checkup after my two knee surgeries he asked if I was ready to go back to work and I said I wouldn’t mind a few more weeks off. He said just tell him what day I preferred :)

I wish I could do that. Over here we have to demonstrate that the modified duties are beneficial to the company from a production standpoint.
The W/C here is called WSIB and they always side with the fakers and malingerers. The legit injured folks always get the shaft. I try to help those cases as much as possible because they are legit hard workers not out to milk the system. The fake injury types drag it on for years before the WSIB catches on and finally drops the hammer. By then companies have been paying out for years and struggling to keep the claim at a low cost. Doctors notes here carry no weight whatsoever as the mandate requires all injured employees to return to work with what ever restrictions are determined by their attending physician. If the restrictions make no sense they launch an investigation (which takes forever) to determine the best possible action to take. They have ergonomics folks come and inspect the workplace to help tailor suitable work. All this can take years when you are dealing with an employee who is determined to get benefits for life without ever having to work again. The system is slow to catch them but they do catch them eventually.
I have no pity for fakers especially when I see recording of them playing contact sports etc while claiming they can barely walk or one guy was playing basketball all day every Saturday but walked with a cane whenever he was near work. Lol

We know! The saying in my office was "doctors are medical whores." They'll put anything on the note that their patients want them to.
I know the history of workers' compensation (cases where employers horrifically neglected the safety and well-being of their employees, like the Radium Girls) and I support it in principle.
It's the fakers and malingerers who are ruining it for everyone else.

The only two TV series I watch from the 1960s are Star Trek and Civilisation, I think. More non-fiction would be interesting, though my focus as ever tends to be the 1980s if I'm watching 'older' TV. ;)

It surprised me how well the original series held up (not all of it, naturally, but a number of stand out episodes). Though yeah, I wouldn't rank TOS all that high in my Trek love, for me the best was DS9 followed by TNG. The recent animated series was great too (Lower Decks), though very different, more Rick & Morty style. The old 1970s animated series had some pretty decent episodes too (and some terrible ones), most famously a very grown up one about Spock that deals with mortality and childhood.

Good day to you all!
Just at work. Waiting on an announcement on whether or not they will be imposing a curfew.
Very upsetting to say the least.
Wish you all have a great weekend.

Looks like Malaysia is heading towards the 4th wave of infections :( Numbers keep rising despite no interstate travels. Vaccine rollout is slow and bogged down by slow availability and logistics of getting it into people's arms but the government has stated they won't impose another hard nationwide lockdown, instead manage it on a case-by-case and regional control. So much for #2021 #BestYear

Those cute little rats remain too fast to get a good pic, but I was still pleased with the variety of wildlife today. Heron, squirrels, rats, ducks etc, all on that island in the park lake. :D
And yeah, so far lockdown relaxation is on course in England (17th May for non contact training, 21st June for normal training), but we'll see.

Trained the doggo, did some light ballistic and unilateral work with kettlebells and bodyweight at the gym before I taught nogi class at another gym with Fabrício Gaia. Always fun to have Gaia visit us and teach his tricks.
Wifey is at her friends cabin for the weekend so I'm going to be playing video games until I fall asleep. Have a great weekend everybody!

I went to my first class after starting some medicine for high blood pressure. After rolling a few times, a newish white belt wanted to roll with me. I was going easy with him and all of a sudden I felt dizzy, that's all I remember until waking up with him choking the shit out of me. LOL I was only half there and was mumbling to get off, and I'm passing out, I was so far gone I couldn't even tap and barely could think. It took him quite a bit before he let go. As I was laying there he kept asking me if that was a tap? LOL
Anyone else on BP medicine? Is this something that might happen often? So far I feel worse on this stuff that without it. This was only my 2nd day on Lisinopril.
