Had a pretty good first day. Had to have gotten in 3 or 4 miles walking across the hospital half a dozen times getting shown around. There is a whole world in the basement of that place I had no idea existed. Got lost twice. Everybody seems pretty chill.

Shit day, had to work on a friend's forklift, seems he was sold the wrong alternator and I didn't spot the external reg until I remove the super custom drink holder, and all the plugs/wires were painted red and some even had a white undercoat.
Couldn't get a schematic for the forklift or the regulator so I have to run new wires.

Went for a ride, got home and saw on the news that a doctor from the local practice had been eaten by a crocodile, fuck!
He seemed like a nice bloke.

They're like icebergs. Sorta.

Most inner works and employees at hospitals are unseen by the "customers"

@Pesqueeb. what exactly are you doing in your new job?
Maintaining the medical equipment. Just the basic stuff to start, obviously. But hoping to make the jump into things like CT/MRI pretty quick because that's where the $$$ is.

Not recently. But it does happen. My old employer had a dude make himself a traumatic triple amputee that way.

What's the reasoning, assuming there is any, by the use of the term "customer"? They are patients, I was a patient in my hospital. Obviously cost and financials are important, but it feels icky to me, especially at a place that claims to me not for profit.

Because these days unless your local hospital is the only place for care, a lot of people will shop around for where to go other than for emergency visits.

They are patients but they are also customers.

Why hello there people of the electronic internet. How are you today? I’m great.

Walking customer corn fields today with our agronomist. Looking for various leaf diseases. It rained last night so we will get soaked. Neat.

Squeeb, best of luck with your new gig. I worked for a hospital for 20 years and mostly enjoyed it, and still got lost in the main hospital every time I had to go there for meetings. God damn place was a maze.

Got the title report for the 4 lots in town, offer sent for the two lots in coos bay and should close today or tomorrow on the 4 in town. Soon as something closes I am picking up a new Stihl 500i, having an excavator delivered and clearing some lots.

It was raining when I woke up, and it supposed to rain all day. So I headed out for my run this morning expecting to get soaked, and somehow the rain stopped for the duration of my 5.6 mile run, and then started up again as soon as I finished. Weird.

WFH day. One of my employees was up until midnight trying to fix a problem with a file, so I told her to take today off and put regular hours on her timecard.

Solid poop to start the day. Makes me glad I didn't take the oxy the gave me after surgery. That is an addiction I will never comprehend. I've never felt really "high" on pain pills, but I've never taken a bunch at once, either. But if I take them for 2 days, I won't shit for a week. There is no high worth that. Have these people never tried weed? That gets me high AND I can poop.

Yeah opiates don't do much for me either. I never understood why people get hooked on that shit until I found out opiates also dull emotional pain. Which explains why the broken and the abused flock to them.

Opioids and weed aren't even in the same galaxy. Count yourself fortunate that they don't sing their siren song to you. :D

Again - consider yourself lucky. I've only been on opioids a couple times, and I'm SURE glad that shit is prescription-only, 'cause HOLY SHIT are they heaven in a pill. :drool:

That makes sense. I guess weed does that for me, too. :rofl:

More than a good brownie? Interesting. LSD is still my all time favorite, but I haven't since '89. But from '85 to '89, I was tripping. I considered myself lucky for never really having a bad trip, but I had some pretty epic ones.

I still haven't tried mushrooms, but I will eventually.

I've never mainlined morphine but the pills do the exact same thing as ibuprofen for me. I'm also immune to MDMA.

Morning, Monkeys. "WFH" today. I have a virtual consult for a sleep study this morning, and an interview this afternoon. I have low expectations for this one, but what the hell?

Why am I so fucking tired?

Perhaps I need to take drugs, but alas I don’t love the feel of any of them. I’ve had the Morphine iv in the hospital and it’s a warm pain relief, but clearly chemical. THC makes me so paranoid that it’s almost funny. Opiate pills make me angry and constipated - possibly related…? Guess I’m lucky.
