Hospital Strangeness

While walking around New Hanover Regional Medical Center I witnessed a few odd things. Let's start with a simple computer security vulnerability.

The above is a computer in a waiting area for volunteers and vendors to use. Sure, you first need a PIN. However, the password is written on a sticky note on the monitor. The password is just two capital letters, NH. Don't get me started on their use of "PIN number."

Next we get a visit from captain obvious.

A rolling PVC linen cart that has each of the three shelves labeled. Really, the bottom shelf is labeled "BOTTOM SHELF" with an arrow pointing at the shelf that is, well, the bottom shelf. Same for "TOP SHELF" and "SECOND SHELF." Not shown in this picture is a handle used for pushing/pulling the cart. I watched a worker grab the cart, not from the handle, and pull the cart to another room. In the worker's defense, the handle was NOT labeled.

Then I saw this.

I have a feeling there are a lot of reports being done in that area.

Name The People

I was asked by a co-worker to create some Revit families from CAD blocks. They are 2D plan representations of people. I asked the requester if she wanted them named any certain way because this is what I saw.

New Driver + New Car = Less $

Well, the kids are getting older and today our eldest received his license from the state of NC. So that means our insurance will increase, dramatically. Not only that, but we are once again a 3 car family. The wife has the Kia Sedona so that we can accommodate the family of six. We still have the Dodge Charger, and last week I bought a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. Gina and I had been in discussions for a couple of weeks about the "car situation" and I had been tentatively shopping online for a small hatchback. After searching Autotrader , Carmax , Carvana I found the Hyundai through Autotrader at a local dealer . So I messaged them online to make sure the car I had seen was still available and to make arrangements to see the car and take it for a test drive. I left work last Wednesday at lunch and made my way to the dealer. After driving the car I decided it was the right price and just what I had been looking for. Gina was away on an overnight field trip so I sent some tex...

A Thursday Weekend Wrap-up

It was another concert weekend. We kicked it off Friday at Local 506 seeing regional bands Youth League , Knowne Ghost and Cuzco . Earlier in the week my son told me that he remembered seeing the bassist for Youth League at Wreckingball last summer. When we arrived at the club I saw the band outside talking. I told my son to ask him if he was indeed there last summer. Being too shy he declined. I on the other hand have not many reservations about approaching people on the street to talk to them. When asked, he confirmed that he was there. Knowne Ghost was a last minute replacement for Outbound and I was grateful because I was able to hear a "new to me" band. Youth League Saturday morning was an early start. I got up early to see Gina off for her trip to the SAS conference in Orlando. I watched the first half of the Merseyside Derby. Then I headed out to watch local soccer as some of my friends were playing each other before my own 10:00 kickoff. My game was a victory...
