We are peers
  • Because then they'd lose their 14 concurrently open chrome webpages, 9 word documents, 7 large fully table-formatted excel files, and 6 instances of an application they haven't closed...but IT needs to fix why their PC is running slow

  • Why Is Trump Urging His Supporters Not to Vote This Election?
  • I swear I read that certain states have put in laws where they can ultimately refuse the outcomes of elections if they so choose, and the SCOTUS is already primed to be the deciding factor. I don't recall if that was pure doom 'n gloom from his 2020 tantrums though

  • A Crazy Story With Electric
  • Have you ever had a dream that that you um you had you'd you would you could you'd do you wi you wants you you could do so you you'd do you you could you you want you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

  • What is something people you encounter at your job say that makes you want to scream? (Job, person & quote)
  • I do HL7 interfaces between healthcare systems. Almost weekly the same people contact me saying "the interfaces are down".

    Me: "Things are up, and messages are flowing"

    Them: "But we're not seeing updates in the other system"

    Me: "Did you reach out to their support?"

    Them: "They'd just tell us to check out side first"

    Me: "We'll weren't actively sending messages"

    Them: "But I'm not seeing the status change we documented"

    Me: "What patient did you document on?"

    Them: "Pt XYZ"

    Me: "Yup, we sent that message 45 minutes ago and the other system acknowledged/accepted it"

    Them: "Then why arent we seeing it?

    Me: "Check with their support..."

    20 minutes later, yeah there was an issue in the other system. This was a weekly conversation, same users, same applications, same results.

    But my favorite variant of this conversation is the one where they eventually realize that the reason they're not seeing data in the other system is because...the nurse never documented on that patient. Happened too many times

  • Back from my IS analyst/reporting days...

    Sends email asking for report. "Terminations from last year". I run it and send. The next day they reply...

    Them: "are these from last calendar year or last fiscal year?"

    Me: "Calendar"

    Them: "I needed the last fiscal year"

    Me THEN WHY DIDNT YOU FUCKING SAY LAST FISCAL YEAR!?!?!
