I made some mild progress on resolving the persistent HIPAA violations caused by some daffy old lady giving my phone number to a hospital clinic. The bad news is I'm still getting calls. The good news is, I've now spoken with every doctor and nurse in the clinic, they're all aware of the issue, and so now the seven of us are presenting a united front against the hospital administration, who persistently refuse to fix the problem despite 18 months of complaints.
Well if they want a honking fine that badly, then who are you, etc?
the best part? It's going to be a lot more than one fine, it's one fine per violation
and if you are knowingly violating HIPAA and it's been brought to your attention and you still aren't fixing it? That's an even larger fine... per violation
They do not fuck around, a small insurance company up here near syracuse had to pay 16 million in fines because they weren't addressing people violating it and doing that thing managers do where they hope a problem employee will either quit on their own because they make it uncomfortable to work there or just pretend there isn't a problem.
(Edit: I kid that's just the secretaries at my job and I'm airing my dirty laundry because of my lazy boss... the insurance company got hit with a cryptolocker and they didn't have a good backup and data was breached and exposed)

I kind of want to work on my days off, Friday and Saturday and take advantage of more of the unlimited OT and do 8 hour shifts but then that means I'd work 11 days in a row.
I also like my days off. Not sure which I like more though, days off or OT money.

The days off are always a better idea unless you desperately need money.
Hey I.T. nerds, what do you think of this integrity rule for a library's database concerning the length of videos that it has available: "The length of the video cannot be greater than the duration, in hours, between the commercialization of the digital video camera and now"?
Yeah, I know, what about footage that's from twoor MORE cameras that have been running since that time and edited together into one video?
I was mostly thinking how I'd try to circumvent it by finding the oldest digital video camera that can use an SDXC card.

Job interview for the University went well I think. Got along with everyone, answered the questions well, and asked good questions. Now due to bureaucracy I get to wait at least two weeks to hear back yea/nay, and the HR lady joked that she might get back to me just to ask for more time. :P She was really nice though and I understand. Still though, I hate the waiting game the most.

Yea, I would normally never work more than 5 days a week but the mini peak in calls for student loans had already slowed down a lot. Average wait time for a call is 5 to 20 minutes.
I could sit around playing pokemon and beat pokemon Eevee and then switch to sword.
I just feel like because I have zero plans to do anything I might as well take advantage of this OT since they only offer it in January and then June to September.

Do we have a mail thread? I think we should have a mail thread so I can complain every time something is
- shipped inexplicably halfway across the country in the wrong direction
- marked as 'shipped' because they printed out a label but nobody has actually given it to the delivery service
- marked as 'delivered to resident' but was actually stolen
- marked as 'delivered to resident' but was actually thrown through into the foyer of a completely different building
- marked as 'delivered to resident' because the delivery driver wanted to go home on time and just lied, it's still in his van
- given a 5-10 day delivery estimate but you can't lodge a complaint about non-delivery until 90 days have passed
all of these have happened to me in the last month
That's me whenever I go home. "Hey I have nowhere I'm supposed to be, I can sleep in as long as I want!"
then a 100-pound dog lies on my face at 6.30am because he wants to take his stupid rubber pig out the back gate to watch the joggers.

I came in this morning all gung-ho about "I'm gonna try THIS thing and we'll see if it works!" and it did work so
... now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I'm not used to things being functional first try
... lunch?
That's what the forums are for, right?
The forums are for when I get so sick of things not working that I gotta go look at puppies and argue about fuckstyles or whatever. Not for when things are going well!
So the forums are only for the bad times not the good times we see how it is
you guys are the trashpit of slurry I wallow in when the world is on fire.

No one knows where the dog, or his stupid rubber pig, comes from, or how he keeps getting into tynic's room.
Actual interaction. It's good that I get such a kick out of referencing things that children don't get at all.

Student: Well, no, but
Expendable: You're not a Goa'uld. You don't have the entire sum of knowledge and memories from your ancestors passed to you via genetics. You have to actually learn things.

Left early yesterday, off work today. Not feeling very well, but have to go in tomorrow. Doctor says it's not the flu, at least, so I should get better soon
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Nah, no one knows how to use computers. You must accept that and find your crutch to dealing with them.
I am finding a lot of younger people can’t use a PC. It’s a good reminder that those are skills we’ll need to teach our kids.
It’s understandable. Our kids have access to iPads and gaming systems but not actual PCs. At schools iPads have taken over PCs, too. Anya got in trouble once for cracking the iPad code and installing an app without adult permission, but the only time she’s touched an actual keyboard is when she’s played on her grandpa’s laptop. I’m also finding that the same employees who don’t know how to save a document or perform basic word/excel functions also don’t own PCs.
One of the perks of working in a lab is that there is always plenty of 70% ethanol available for cleaning your keyboard and mouse.
On a related note, curse this corporeal form and all its concomitant residues.
I found out I gouged a chunk out of my thumb this morning by giving a sensor component a 98% ethanol bath.
it's not my favourite way to discover injuries.

I often get sight like "When did that happen?" them remember a few days previous slamming something or cutting myself and going "Huh I should put a band aid on that" and then forgetting about it for days

I discover the vast majority of my injuries by finding blood on something and thinking "huh, where did this blood come from."

Use DMSO, coward.

Real technicians use FOOF when something must be scoured from the earth...and this mortal plane...and the umbral plane...and...well...look lets just say the gods got drunk one night and Satan dared them to eat his homemade Kimchi and they've been dealing with this crap ever since, it's like a galactic SUPERFUND thing going on ok?

That was quite possibly the single most miserable experience I've had in a restaurant.

Unfortunately the baby likes to start screaming at 4:30, so I'm awake then anyway. Boo.
