kristof65 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 1 hour ago, Corsair said: For @kristof65 😆 LOL. I'd love to be able to do stuff like that, but I don't have physical access to most customers units. Back on the really old stuff (the stuff I complain about sites still using these days), the techs have access to a BASIC like language that can be used to customize customer's units. One of the techs had a friendly, yet antagonistic relationship with one of the site owners, so he programmed the teller to recognize the owner's personal fleet account , and play/display insulting messages that he would periodically change. I never did figure out how he did it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator OneBoot Posted May 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) It's an odd feeling to dislike bureaucracy, yet realize that oneself is inadvertently becoming a part of said bureaucracy. I'm partially mitigating this by, rather than talking around in circles about processes and procedures for ages with higher-level staff who are no longer directly involved in a lot of the day-to-day stuff anymore, I've started just dropping by the offices of the ground-level folks with a notepad and chatting for about 15 minutes about their medical document workflows. Substantially faster results with a much higher degree of accuracy (plus it gets me away from my computer monitor lol). Sorry, but I don't have the patience to spend any amount of time speculating on how things are "probably" done. That kind of nonsense is a big part of why there's a disconnect between the senior staff and the rest of the folks at my workplace. They're all very nice and personable and I enjoy working with every one of them, but it seems to me that they spend too much time in meetings (and are all frankly wearing too many hats). I'm in sort of an odd position with a foot in both worlds, since my direct supervisor is the administrative assistant to the district administrator. Because of her background, my supervisor has a strongly bureaucratic approach to issues, whereas before now I've never worked within a hierarchical business structure before, so I tend to a lot more direct in my problem-solving approaches and I sometimes get frustrated at the obstacles I encounter. So until someone expressly forbids me to do this, I'mma keep making like a good rogue and quietly acquiring information in the most efficient and expedient way possible.

Sylverthorne Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The power of the banana compels you! ... a thing I said earlier today, to one of the three cats losing their furry little minds over a catnip banana. Despite best efforts to demolish it (I wasn't sure if it would stand up to Enigma's toy-destroying habits), last I saw it, it was soggily being a pillow for Rajah... 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Penalty shot attempt in hockey playoffs...save! Portland vs hated Seattle Round 2, Game 4 Game score Hawks up by 3 (4-1), 2-1 series lead. Love listening to the net feed on my nights off! Edit: 5 to 1 Hawks win! Take a 3-1 series back to Portland! Game 5 tomorrow night! It got a bit fiesty at the end, but it's expected in rivalry games. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegazus Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 My bacon this morning was an emotional wreck. It kept falling apart! Not a euphemism. It simply shredded and fell into long strands. Weird. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted May 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sounds like it was defective, you'd better get some more and see if you get a good batch. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 So... I someone cuts himself while preparing dinner and then proceeds to cut garlic. And that garlic hits the wound and it burns... Does that mean that person is a Vampire or Werewolf? Asking for a friend 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
