Folks at my last place of work seem to have begrudgingly accepted Epic. We're going live with Cerner at my current place, not seeing a lot of smiles.

One of the hospitals I support recently instituted parking fees in their ramps. Since I'm essentially an MSP, the contract manager for the hospital network had to get badge access added so I don't have to pay when I head there to fix poo poo. She just emailed me the correspondence with the parking project coordinator, which includes this gem: "Could you let me know more specifically what they will be doing that requires parking access? Will they be working out of their cars, transporting materials, responding to emergency calls, etc?" "Yes." It ended with me being able to park without paying, but I can imagine the eyeroll on the other end.

My wife is a physician, and her EMR software resizes dynamically based on screen resolution, but does not add scrollbars when sized below the minimum. And is not manually resizable. This works exceedingly well over Citrix.

I've written two very tiny Win32 applications for the most trivial things that was more for my own whim and I put more effort into making sure the window worked ok than that company did apparently.

You and me both brother, however I arrived after IT was run like a mad-house so nobody gets dibs on old kit. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. A colleague "borrowing" a USG-PRO-4 for home I watched a mountain of Mid spec computers taken away for WEEE disposal All that equipment will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to work. It's funny because staff could purchase old machines at a highly cut price, but it got slammed down from legal and HR because fee fees could be hurt if people missed out.

I am still on a Dell Vostro 420, with upgraded RAM, drives, PSU, and GPU, and I will be getting a better "new to me" case with a water cooler soon. This machine shows the joys of scavenging, seeing as the most I have spent on it was like $40.

Yeah, I did some short term work for an MSP for dental offices in a major city and holy poo poo was it awful. Some offices have a plenum directly above where the dentists are working, and we're talking a space just big enough for the dental chair. Easily smaller than standard small network closets.

"Deployments for <product> are going to be delayed due to a licensing issue with the vendor" "Is someone actively working on the licensing issue?" No, you dumb poo poo. We're just going to throw up our hands and say 'oh well!' gently caress I hate devs.

AlexDeGruven posted:"Deployments for <product> are going to be delayed due to a licensing issue with the vendor" You joke, but sometimes it's good to sanity check. It would be better phrased as "who is working on the licensing issue with <vendor>, and is there a rough estimate on when that will be resolved?"

Then we have the department weekly FPS tournament.... Again, you joke, but I am currently in the situation where a simple change of mobile phone service provider has been stuck in Purchasing Hell for nearly 6 months now, despite the vendor already having been evaluated, price checked and contract agreed. Simply because it turns out that the budget approval process has it categorised in the same class as if we were buying a new HQ or corporate take-over.

Best I've come across was a website and the devs bought licenses for a subsystem they used to make it nice and fancy. 2 days before public release someone read the terms of the license and found out that the license was only good enough for the devs to use (as it was based on unique users - not concurrent). And the site was expected to hit around a million unique visitors since it was a website for a public event. At like $50/user. Devs did a lot of work in that 48 hours.

AlexDeGruven posted:"Deployments for <product> are going to be delayed due to a licensing issue with the vendor" I wish we lived in a world where that question merited an indignant response, but it's plausible to me that the answer would be either "no," or a dissembling "uhhh, we'll get right back to you on that" in some places. At the very least, you have confirmed for your devs that the issue is licensing and you're not waiting on anything from the dev team.
