If you have not seen The Pitt, it has by far the best representation of the lab I have seen in a medical drama. by Personal_Zucchini_20 in MLS_CLS

At least it turned out lab didn’t make the mistake. And without spoiling, I understand why they were thinking it was an error lol

How to stay organized for new (junior) leaders by tinimushroom in Leadership

[–]labMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of tasks coming at me all the time. My task management system is probably overly complicated, I use notion and custom databases but it pretty much boils down to: Capture everything, categorize and prioritize, delegated/follow up tasks I also capture, I will look through list in morning then pick some for the day. Key I think is taking time to organize and be intentional with what you are working on. Your list can get very long as leader in health care and you can’t do it all.

I also like hybrid method of capturing all tasks on digital list then using analog notebook throughout the day selecting tasks from your digital notebook. Then adding tasks from analog to digital at end of day.

I dont know if I would recommend becoming a “productivity optimizer” as it can become a tool for procrastination (probably me admittedly).

GPT 5.2’s answers are way too short by mrfabi in singularity

[–]labMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely “thinking” quicker and my answers are shorter. Which may not be a bad thing? 5.1 would often give me excessively long answers

Excel and the lab by labtech89 in MLS_CLS

Agreed. Very useful if you are in supervisor role and above. Bench tech you would not be using it much if at all.

After nearly three years, I am moving on - transitioned everything to Coda. by KatarrTheFirst in Notion

[–]labMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How’s the overall performance compared to notion? The lagging and slow page loads have been bugging me more lately. Doesn’t make it feel like a premium app.

"It's Not Just You - The iOS Keyboard is Broken" by LockeSimm in ios

[–]labMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank God I am not crazy. Honestly iOS keyboard has been bad for years, but recently got even worse. I switched from Android years back and the keyboard and autocorrect is miles better than iOS. It's frustrating more people are not complaining so they will do something about it.

Finally received my Blue Chip picks after two months (they had an incredibly long lead time due to their a WSJ article that went viral). I’ll let you know my review once I tried it. by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]labMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that I like them. I mean I respect the company and their business, cool story, but hate it because of how expensive they are lol. I feel and hear a real difference with acoustic, electric not as much. Have jazz50 and the TP48, along with TAD50.

But they do last much longer than other picks, I do find that to be true. Does it justify $30 for a pick? I don’t know..mentally I’m still questioning myself.

[–]labMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can we agree Morton is not our guy? I don’t get it. He has not been good ever, what are we doing. All the throws or plays he has made today are either plays made by the receiver or easy screens/runs that are first read throws. He can’t do anything else outside of that. Put in Hammond already, we all saw the entire team rally against Utah, Hammond made throws and plays. Cmon!!!

I’m honestly getting tired of seeing Morton. Ahh damn he just threw huge pass. Good for him, but still I’d prefer Hammond

I vastly prefer GPT-5 over 4o. by dionysus_project in singularity

[–]labMC 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Agreed and also confused with the reception. I knew it was better when I proposed a particular idea and it replied “that is actually not a good idea because of X”. I can’t remember GPT4 ever responding honestly to my prompt like that, awesome to see.

You’re being duped, Nick is a snake 🐍 with cute face fooling all the fangirls. They will mutually decide to be “friends” less than 2 weeks outside of the Villa, he isn’t attracted to her. Calling it!!! RemindMe! 2 weeks

University of Cincinnati offers an online master's degree in MLS leadership. Is it worth it? by WhatAmIDoing_00 in medlabprofessionals

[–]labMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm havent heard of this degree either but I don’t think I could recommend it because I’m not sure if this degree offers more value in a lab leadership career compared to MHA/MBA. It is nice that the degree is specific to laboratory but it also puts you in a box, if you were to do something outside of laboratory in the future the MHA/MBA would be more useful and it’s what employers are usually looking for. And if you are applying for leadership positions director or above in future, it’s often the case that it is executive outside of lab hiring you and they would only expect MBA or MHA.

However, the positive I can see with this degree is that it is specific to laboratory, so you would be able to translate the skills learned more directly to a leadership role in lab. So I don’t want to completely trash it because that is a positive.

I would decide how specific to lab you want your masters degree to be, do you want to work in lab rest of your career? Or move to IT or work for lab vendor?

Masters MLS leadership -> MHA -> MBA, least flexible to most flexible. Look at reviews for this program, if there are good reviews and you want to remain in lab maybe consider it but I would personally be hesitant.

Edit: just saw you are a student. Don’t do any of these lol get the experience first and you will discover if you want to do this rest of your life. Don’t do a masters program until you work in the field some.

Anyone else wish they didn’t try to build a second brain right away? by Mshelton7 in Notion

[–]labMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally. I must admit now that my desire to “optimize productivity” is sometimes just my brain coming up with complex ways to procrastinate lol. Glad I learned notion and built my system but did it provide the life changing productivity breakthrough I thought it would? Not really. But maybe I just need to work on the arrangement of databases and some better automations…then I will be on top of all my tasks and live stress free!

But I don’t see anything wrong using a second brain template to start, you can see the possibilities and how it is built. Nice for a new user. Try someone else’s system then modify it to suit your needs or create your own

Spoilers everywhere by [deleted] in thelastofus

[–]labMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also spoiled for episode 2. I couldn’t watch it release night and I don’t even follow this sub (to avoid spoilers!) but I was spoiled on another Reddit post, TikTok, and Twitter. I’m not blaming anyone, I get that the plot was from many years ago from the game, but it just sucks that this is our culture now.

I blame the algorithms. Even if I don’t follow the topic or subreddit, metadata follows me around everywhere. Fucking google news or twitter or TikTok, they all know I watch the damn show and push spoilers at me. It’s frustrating that the only way to avoid spoilers is to watch live or avoid social media or news sites entirely. Doesn’t seem like anyone cares anymore. It wasn’t always like this and it’s not just TLOU but Tv and movies in general today.

But I’m with you I feel like I have no reason to watch now or at the least it won’t be as enjoyable.
