'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Husband: "Why don't you have a system that the patient, the doctor, and the insurance company can all access, so we don't have these problems?"
Insurance supervisor on phone: "That's actually a really good idea. I can propose that."

It seems like sales and code writing should be different positions.
I hate so much that our culture insists we are all salespeople of ourselves as the product. Men! And their sales!
My hair is cut. I am borrowing my parents' truck after work because this cat comes with a cat tree. Gonna be a long day.
Maybe Trump give Fiorina a second chance?
She could lose three times in one election cycle. Would that be a record?
I think he HAS to choose someone with legislative experience and I don't think there is a woman that has that, that will run with him.
But do you think he thinks that?
That's a lovely color, Dana.
Can I just say that my doctor's office seems like some kind of liberal nirvana? Gender inclusive washrooms and it also hosts a refugee health clinic, so the waiting room was about 80% refugees.
That said, I have learned that having a lunch of hot and sour soup that mainly gets it's flavouring from sodium and MSG before getting my blood pressure checked may not be the smartest move ever.

The response of someone who has no authority to initiate anything like that but has to say something conciliatory. The people in the call centers have no power to do anything.
We blame the developers a lot in my office.

I dislike that, in many instances, the default is to want to be promoted from worker bee to manager, and management is the only way to earn that gold-plated unicorn. I don't ever want to manage people, but my skillz have real value. It pisses me off.
(Also, good management is a skill [and, I would argue, somewhat of an art], and separates really good companies from average companies. I'm not in any way denigrating management -- I think people who are good at it are a tremendous asset and totally deserve their gold-plated unicorn. I just don't like that, in so many companies, moving from worker bee to management is the only real track for promotion, and it leads to people getting into management who NEVER should have been allowed near it.)

There's a natural incentive to make getting health care painful. Having people actually getting health care isn't in the best interest of health insurance companies.
