Coffee with Italian Sauage is certainly a choice.

Why didn’t you ask them? As long as you don’t take a dickish tone I bet they probably would have answered you. 

I did, I spoke with the security guy and said I've been coming in for years with my coffee because there was a partnership with Tim Hortons. He wasn't a dick, he felt bad for us I think lol. I think the new security screening may have been a part of it. But he said only a clear bottled water is what he was directed to allowed in.

The increasing trend of society to focus on the 1% of negativity versus the 99% of neutral to positive.

Every GD meeting at work is this way.  It happens here too.  Hell it happens everywhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone submitted a paper title "Time Travle: Now a Reality" and it was rejected during peer review because of the typo.

"Did you read it?"
"Yeah"
"What feedback do you have?"
"Well clearly you spelled travel wrong, so you're an idiot."

I can't wait for the day when society finally understands that just because you can comment it doesn't mean you should.

It's just the world, in my field, I had an upset family member because I had to sedate their mother overnight (because she was legit jumping on the bed like a trampoline) and was 90+ years old... One of many sundowning patients in the unit. They came in in the AM and make a huge stink, when we asked if they would like to be contacted to talk to her to see if they could calm her down "no, we need our sleep" WTF. 

So even though that week there were at least 3 medical saves and awesome things that made us not hate our lives and careers, the admin felt it necessary to have 1:1 meetings about that case as well as me being handed a book about geriatrics by our Amazing passive aggressive c0cksucker of a CMO. 

Can't wait to leave this field.

Hmm, granny on a trampoline.  Woody considering a career switch to show runner for geriatric porn?

You know why I like geriatrics....

 

I can just bury my mistakes 😜

Too much automation (or whatever you want to call it) in cars today.

Between the 2 cars we have now....

-Automatic climate control that seems to want to turn itself on whenver it wants. I want to pick where the air is coming from, and the speed. Yet, either by a GENTLE brush of the automaic 'non-button' controls by accident when looking to adjust something else, or by some ghost in the car, occasionally the system goes to 'automatic' and it will change where the air is coming from, and change the blower speed.  And trying to turn it off of auto? I shut the entire thing down and restart it. You press the auto button and it just cycles through different speeds/levels of auto. No idea how to turn it off.

- The wipers. It was raining yesterday and I'm driving and then it slowed down raining and I wanted the wipers on an intermediate setting. Well the car has an auto setting, it has high, it has low, and then it has all the little intermediate notches you could choose from depending on how fast or how often you want the wipers to go on but guess what? The car takes control of that. Let's say I put on the second lowest intermediate setting so the wipers go over the windshield. Let's say once every 5 seconds... But if the car senses there is a little bit more water on the windshield it will override that and take over and make them go quicker. So even when you pick the setting you want, it won't stick there. The car will override your choice.

-Keep your hands on the wheel warning?  I sometimes hold the steering wheel at "10 and 2", sometimes closer to the bottom of the wheel. Sometimes one handed. But yet, every once in a while there will be a loud (somewhat startling) beep/chime telling me to keep my hands on the wheel. They are though?

-I love this one, another loud chime and my dashboard shows me an icon of a coffee cup and tells me maybe its time for a break.  Really?  sometimes it will even do that after only driving for 30-40 minutes. Other times I drive for 3 hours without it. And it has nothing to do with it sensing I'm going out of my lane or anythign like that. The lane centering thing, where it takes control of the steering wheel (thats another story) takes care of that.

-Drive modes. So my car has a 'sport' mode, an 'eco' mode, and a 'smart' mode.  No normal mode.  Well, the sport mode holds gears WAY  too high for everday driving, I'll be going down a side street at 30 mph and its in 2nd gear makign a lot of noise at 3000 rpms. Eco mode, it seems to either lower the battery assist (I have a hybrid) or lower the turbo boost (the gas engine) but either way, it is almost non-responsive.  So "smart" mode?  Well, its not a combo of both. It 'automatically" switches back and forth between Eco and sport, based on how it thinks I want to drive.  If I make a bunch of very aggressive lane changes and hit the gas hard, it goes into sport mode (only for a few seconds though), but once that is over, back to "eco" mode.  I have tried to manipulate it by my driving style, but nope, it does what it does.

This email is getting so long, I won't even go into the quirks of the nav system after an update (it no longer allows you to choose the 'shortest' route in terms of time vs the 'shortest' one in distance.  It chooses the route for you, and often changes it mid-route to roads in no way I want to take"

I'm really, REALLY close to my next car being one of those small, simple, econo-boxes that are under $30,000 that don't have most of this stuff (or at least less of it)
