gently caress my gay rear end life. The "interview" was just me pissing all over a cup and then verifying that, yes, I know what a network switch is. The real interview with the hospital itself isn't until later.

Her email literally said "Let's set up an appointment for tomorrow at 2:00 for some basic paperwork, a urinalysis drug screen and an interview."

I've never gone through a recruiter before, so I don't know what the hell to expect.

From experience recruiters have loose definitions of certain words like "salary", "interview" and "experience"

When is the real interview?

Kind of ironic that the IT guy has to be drug-free and yet the doctors are all hopped up on free samples from Big Pharma and the surgeons are alcoholics.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



If your IT guy fucks up you lose precious money making time. If your doctors gently caress up they can still finish the surgery and your malpractice insurance will cover it.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
One upon a time, I was asked by a colleague who works at a cloud reseller to look over the architecture diagram for a (small, non-enterprise support) customer as a favor. The architectural diagram was literally five EC2 instances surrounded by a subnet surrounded by a VPC with a simple gateway.

No, high-availability, no scalability. The customer was literally using this VPC like a server closet in the cloud.

After looking at this diagram, my response was, "Hoping that your single instance doesn't fail is not a valid fault tolerance strategy." And then forgot all about it. (gently caress doing "a solid" for colleagues, by the way.)

So today, months later I get a ping from the same colleague:

:butt: Guess who lost an instance today?
:) Uh, God?
:butt: No. Remember that customer whose architectural diagram I asked you to take a look at?
:) Vaguely. They lost an instance? So what are they doing about it?
:butt: They're pulling out of the cloud back to five servers on-prem.
:) Wait, so they're taking their collection of single instances and replacing it with a collection of single servers in a closet?
:butt: Yeah.
:) So their literal solution to losing an instance is to replace a bunch of single instance VMs with single instance physical servers?
:butt: Yup.


There is no :facepalm: big enough.


Edit: woah! Sorry about the pump-fake Larch. But make sure you kick rear end on the interview and you'll laugh about this later.

They don't usually do them in house, they send them out to labs to be done. At least, the 2 hospitals I've worked at have done this.

There was one guy ahead of me when I arrived. Decked out in the finest urban street wear, he was filling out an application that was nothing but pictures he had to circle. Then he got to watch a safety video on muscular injuries before hiring him.

I was totally outclassed.

Usually these screening tests is they put a test strip in the cup and if it changes colour then it is positive. These usually cost a buck or two each and are fairly unreliable. But simple enough for large scale pre-employment checks and cheaper than actually doing a full interview for someone who might fail.

It was done in office. It was one of those magic cups where you peel the label off and it tells you if the person is a meth addict. I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

For the first few years at my radio job every other week we had a meth bust news story. Rural TN/KY have loads of meth makers as well as methheads :(


E: This has went down drastically after the implementation of a tracking system to watch people that run around trying to get sudofed etc from multiple stores in quick succession. And also stores working together to tell cops if they've seen people buying several boxes and idiots who get pulled over telling the cops "yeah I was buying all this to make money from a meth dealer" because nobody here knows "don't talk to cops" :v:

I don't know how much a drug test costs but perhaps it's worth less then the the man hours it takes to invite in and interview someone who they would never hire in the first place.
