ITS FOR A CHURCH HONEY!
Didn’t watch it, but the headlines, posts and memes are prime choice so far!
But one thing I haven’t seen mentiones yet is something I only stumbled upon when a browser was showing headline snippets. Harris outright said that both she and Walz are gun owners, they’re not “taking anyone’s guns” and outright told that orange turd to stop with his blatant lies. As a blue gun owner…then fills me with joy.
Man am I glad I killed my FB back In 2012 when it was mostly pictures of peoples babies and people acting like hating Obama was a personality trait
I’ve actually been considering getting a mini-pc. My old setup at home used to be my main PC hooked up to my TVs in the living room with a wireless keyboard. Id do some low end gaming on it and mostly streaming. Im in process of selling that house and looking to go back into a more traditional setup, with my main PC In a den with actual monitors, but still want to consider the option of having a mini PC in the living room TV for the occasional PC needs, and running lower end party games from steam like Jack Box.
I bought a couple a few years ago, the only one I still use is the PiHole, which has been phenomenal. I did try to use one as a media server but turned out to be more of a pain than it was worth.
They’re just serial complainers. Even if you walk around their department with a laptop to give them 5 minute instruction, no matter when you do it it’s always inconvenient to them. Some people exist solely to complain about shit
Send multiple all user emails stating which end to put in the water. People still call the Help Desk or email you directly, your response is forwarding them the email, they complained that it’s not convenient or they get too many emails or don’t have time for emails.
You send documentation and place it on the portal. they complain it’s overly complicated, so you add screenshots with which end to put in the water. They still mess it up and complain about lack of instruction.
You schedule 30 minute courses, 3 times a day, every day of the week and spam out notifications to sign up. You get a total of 12 people the first 2 weeks, most of which figured it out on their own at some point but thought it was mandatory, or that there were high level secrets or Tips n Tricks you were gonna teach. When the education period ends, you still get people complaining that the times weren’t convenient enough for them because they work 2nd shift or weekends.
You schedule another 2 weeks of classes, after hours and on weekends. 2 people show up, but not the ones who bitched about it.
Despite everything, your boss still sings you on your review didn’t meet the needs of the organization with this rollout
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
“Well, it’s $5 for use of the hammer, $495 for knowing exactly where to hit the machine.”
Same thing with working in IT
“You just sit and hit buttons all day”
Yeah, but it’s knowing which buttons to press
But tickets take too long.
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!?!?!
It’s kinda good for people who don’t have the time or the means to go pick up food, but don’t mind paying almost twice as much for lukewarm soggy food
