I have also been curious about the maple water. Anyone?
I hate interviewing, Shrift. So much.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I'm on a search committee right now, and interviewing also sucks from this end.

So true, Una. I hate it from both sides.

Is one who rolls their eyes and oculogyre?
So, turns out I would have been giving the presentation after all (I found out at one when the thing started and the coworker who put our presentation together hadn't me her copy of the powerpoint slides and some scribbled notes) if everyone else hadn't run long. That was kind of interesting, but probably not worth three hours of me not getting my real work done. Oh well.

Also, it would save them money if, for example, the lab person entered X test and the computer said, "X test is monthly, and this patient had X test a week ago. Are you sure you want to run X test?" This does not strike me as rocket science.
Rocket science, sadly, is probably actually easier. There's not a universal system or platform (would be nice, yet probably not possible with medicine being private not public), so you've got that hurdle, plus HIPAA issues...

There really shouldn't be HIPAA issues if everything is within Kaiser. Or cross platform issues, one would think, but who knows what kind of standards they have for that.

This. If we're within the facilities for my health insurance organization, why aren't they talking to each other? Several years ago, a clinic was trying to charge a per-page fee for medical records to be transferred to the hospital in the same system. I called up the insurance company, and the rep on the phone said, "We told them to stop doing--um, we're sorry, we'll speak to them about this, there is no charge for records transfer inside the system."

Oh, absolutely. I didn't enjoy it when I've had to interview people for open positions.
I got just in time to start watching hockey, so now I need to wait for a period break to make dinner. I may make pho ga again.

Oh christ, fb has updated something so the ap no longer does a true most recent news feed. They really hate choice, don't they? Gotta be a popularity contest.
Just give me a damn default I can set.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think it has been a true most recent for years.
I want to flirt with people on fb. it's a really bad idea.
