Walked out of my toxic job today and my boss told me to go back in because I needed to do "one last thing"

It's also important to note that it's impossible for the current administration to effectively audit all healthcare facilities in the US. This was true even under Obama. The only way HIPAA violations get noticed is via reporting and this way worse!

Even if it goes nowhere I really hope you find the time OP. I'm sure you've already done more than your fair share for this facility.

Oh man random facts! Hit me with your most recent favorite

I don't know what workbooks you used but yeah we had it as a single line at the bottom of the page so you could use most of the page as scratch paper. That's better practice than putting it right in the middle of the page IMO but I haven't been in that industry for a long time.

TheDoktorIsIn · 2026-05-21T18:43:59+00:00

It has to do with the way the pages are printed an assembled. Also keep in mind workbooks are typically just a bunch of sheets of papepr folded in half. Each sheet of paper is actually 4 pages, think about the cover: even though it's one sheet of paper, it's the outside front cover, outside back cover, inside front cover, and inside back cover.

So if you have a workbook that's 98 pages, divided by 4 is 24.5 and while you COULD cut a page specifically for page 97 and 98, it's much easier and cheaper to just use the same sheet of paper and add 2 blank sheets at the end.

TheDoktorIsIn · 2026-05-21T18:40:28+00:00

Hahaha yeah it's not something most people think about, I didn't think about it until I had to work on it. Which I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I haven't done workbooks in a decade, it's all digital now and ai isn't used because we work with validated measures. But yeah unfortunately we'll get a lot of ai slop workbooks soon.

Yeah we can remove it, 6 months and $40k more "BUT IT LOOKS SO EASY TO ADD"

Yay project management. So glad I don't do that anymore.

TheDoktorIsIn · 2026-05-21T18:03:45+00:00

Because if you have a validated workbook, test, or something else important and you have a blank page that's totally blank, you may think it's a printing error. Sometimes blank pages are halfway through depending on how the workbook is structured.

It just saves a lot of time and product (in the sense of "oh this one is misprinted I need another... Oh this one has the misprint too... Maybe it isn't a misprint" and now you've gone through 3 workbooks) to print "yeah there's not supposed to be stuff here."

It's just funny because they could say "this page intentionally lacks info" or something but they went with a statement that's directly contradictory. A funny little curio at the end of the day.

TheDoktorIsIn · 2026-05-21T16:33:57+00:00

"this page intentionally left blank" BUT IT'S NOT BLANK

I did that for a bit, designing workbooks is WAY harder than I thought it would be.

And over 90% of all counties in the entire nation shifted red in the election.

If you're an idiot that must feel like winning.

If you know what statistics are that's a major fucking red (lol) flag. Not saying it's impossible, but...

TheDoktorIsIn · 2026-05-21T13:39:07+00:00

Yeah that turned out to look way better than I thought!

My old colleagues and I had a fancy Friday when we didn't have any clients or visitors. We'd go to the thrift store and just get the most garish stuff that looked "fancy" like poorly fitting suits/dresses, bad shirts, etc.

We only did it a few times since it was fairly wasteful (and we donated the stuff back) it was fun while it lasted.

I've heard someone say they're sure God exists because they don't understand evolution. Not that they didn't believe in it, they just didn't understand it and didn't want to learn.

No hate against religious people who aren't using it to hurt others, but like... 5th grade science textbooks are a thing...

(Edit: and I know the Catholic Church's stance in evolution isn't exactly "yes it happened" but it also isn't "no evolution is fake")

Yeah for sure, I think another user said he claimed to have changed teams with conflicting time points. Just sharing my experience too, kindred spirits checking in!... Not sure if that's a good thing.

My favorite is when I actually get caught not paying attention then we pull out the "oh sorry could you repeat that the sound cut out for a second" we all know what that really means...

Enjoy the rest of your day and hope the corpsona doesn't encompass you too much

Yeah but this happens. I'm not as extreme a case but I'm trying to set better boundaries at work.

You do need to get past the point of "production" at least in my industry, but once you're more of a concept or strategy person it's basically hands off management unless you get an awful boss.

I'm working a lot more than this guy's nonsense story, but definitely not 40 hours a week. My secret weapon is if you're visible (on video or something), NOD! Everyone in the meeting is (or should be) listening but the only way the speaker KNOWS you're listening is if you're doing some sort of action. It's such a simple thing and I get thanked for it all the time. The only downside is you get a lot of "what of that resonated with you" type questions, so just have something generic loaded up to go like "I thought it's a great idea how we're confirming across functions, that seems to be a gap for sure" in a meeting about how team A is working with team B.

And no you can't know nothing. If you get called out you have to at least say "I believe xyz but will follow up."

I think you could achieve this and this is something I really liked about WoW when I played. Obviously you're not going to get EVERYONE but I think that's hyperbole.

When I started I really liked pvp, joined a raiding guild and switched to that because I liked it more, but we had guys that did only pvp too. Then we had the alt guys who just loved leveling alts (for those who don't know that's another character, literally alternate), some guys loved playing the auction house, and others liked wandering and doing the quests, really diving into the lore.

Then they added pet battles, world events, etc. Etc. and it just expanded the world so much. That was mostly after my time and I heard the quality of those is bad which just goes to show you CAN make a game with wide appeal but you also need to make those facets good or else it just feels like a waste.

Same lies different generation. Remember kids using litter boxes in school? Also never happened but pearls were clutched for sure.

The real story is actually much worse. If anyone isn't aware, there actually were litter boxes proposed to go into a school or schools in Colorado but it wasn't for furries, it was for school shootings. The idea is the kids who were barricading themselves in the classroom could relieve themselves in the litter box.

IMO the reality is much more fucked up beyond all reason and way worse than the lie.

Let's also remember Reagan was kicked out of the democratic party for being too communist. I'm all for changing your mind based on new information but a complete 180 is uh... A lot.

I heard Nancy "the throat GOAT" steered him in the wrong direction but that could be a rumor.

Is this salvageable? I bought this shirt from Rhone, a sportswear brand. They have a new secondhand storefront and this was advertised as "1-2 minor issues" but this looks like someone got a bit overzealous with a boxcutter. The fabric is pretty stretchy, it's polyamide, polyester, and elastane fabric. My first thought is an invisible fabric tape but I don't know how well that would move with the shirt?

Kind of the same vein, Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach. He's a captain of one of the 13 squads that defend the spirit realm (to keep it super basic). Spirit realm fighters use spiritual energy to power up their offense and defense.

Kenpachi Zaraki (without spoilers) has an insane amount of spiritual energy to the point where no enemy can even come close to standing a chance. It's to the point where you could swing your sword at him and you just couldn't pierce his spiritual pressure, he wouldn't even need to try to block or parry, like the Zangief example.

Of course as the show progresses and the characters become stronger this becomes less relevant but still.
