Feeling a little inadequate?

Memento posted:

Oh does that one make you feel like you've wet yourself? I was injected with something before a scan while I was drugged to hell, with my gallbladder in the process of exploding.

Not to me really, but I wasn't drugged up, so that may've helped. It was a weird-rear end feeling though, like "warmth" spreading from your neck all the way down to your butt. But only in my back area, not front. However, the gamma camera tech did mention exactly what you describe. I should've asked if the "warmth" was actually because of the radiation, but I never did. It was probably some other component, anyway. Actually, I thought it was all pretty neat. But of course, when I got a cardiac cath (went in through whatever that artery in your wrist is, not femoral), I was utterly amazed at the fact you could literally feel the thing snaking up your arm, around your shoulder blade, and then down. I was laughing at the feeling the whole time. Bizarre. Heart works A-OK now that it's been re-plumbed.

Enough, "let's totally radiate this dude's circulatory system" here's a cool OSHA:

I've been looking for this for ages and was actually going to reference it replying to the same post you did. Thanks for posting the actual link.

There's a part of me that wishes I had bought my Fiesta ST in white because AT&T has Fiesta SE service vehicles. It wouldn't be hard to debadge and maybe swap some trim around to make a white ST look close enough to a fleet vehicle to get past the average person, then slap some telco-looking decals on it and maybe a mag-mount amber LED blinker on the roof.

"Tiny Trains"

Security and staff can be so all over the place from location to location. Generally if i showed up at a work site or facility with a hard hat, vest, and clipboard no one would challenge me and I'd just go to the site office to check in or just do what I needed to do. Other times I'd have just talked to someone there saying I was heading over, arrive 30 min later, and instantly be interrogated and need like 5 different people to ask me a ton of questions and need to see ID before they let me just look at their smoke detectors or what ever I was there to do. Oddly the type of place never factored into it, if anything there was a slight inverse correlation. I could often waltz into places containing very secure information or dangerous stuff, but some dudes random small business would get all paranoid I might be a security risk. "Listen, my pet supply store has a lot of private information and I just need to make sure you're who you say you are" . Yeah man I intercepted that phone call 30 min ago, put together this costume, some how got exact electrical and mechanical plans of your building, all in a bid to sneak into your pet supply store and steal your trade secrets.

Meanwhile I could just stroll into a place that stores medical records totally unannounced and ask the front desk "hey I'm here to update your fire plan, do you have someone who could show me around and get me in locked doors?" and have them just ask me if a set of the master keys would do. I'd literally have less security paranoia at some military bases than I'd encounter from random small business owners.

At a military base, people just assume that whoever does security let you in and it's not their business.

I've had sheriff's deputies at a county jail spend more time going through my poo poo than the US military ever has. Only after someone broke out of said jail, mind. Also seen contractors at the base do horrifically stupid things just cutting down trees, like yank a pencil palm out of the ground... right onto the truck pulling it.

They wouldn't though?

If anything they'd call the local company office and ask them about the plates/Vehicle number, who would respond "That's not one of our fleet vehicles, tow that rear end in a top hat".

And lol if you think labor folks get any slack about parking illegally. Source: My boss crawling up my rear end every time I get caught.

DC loves to write parking tickets - well over a million every year. It's wild.

There's nowhere for delivery trucks to legally park downtown, just a fact you deal with so fedex, ups, all the restaurant supply trucks, etc just rack up tickets all day and it's part of the cost of doing business in DC. The UPS truck who comes by our building never has less than 3 or 4 on the windshield. Around the end of summer MPD decided to crack down on our block and actual police came out and wrote tickets all day for 2 days straight. They told the fedex guy to move and he said just write the ticket because he couldn't move to anywhere legal so they put him in handcuffs and arrested him. Seemed pretty unnecessary to me, and of course after those 2 days it's back to normal exactly how it always is with delivery trucks double parked all over all day.

in san francisco, and i'm sure most other large cities, you can get a bulk parking ticket plan where they add up all the tickets your fleet of vehicles receives and send you a monthly bill instead of individual citations. just the cost of doing business

Depending on how long the toddler was down there, it might be in serious trouble and that's what you need to do.

And it will work out in the long run. That boy will spend the rest of his life being the hero who saved the well baby and the well baby will spend the rest of its life being the dipshit who fell down a well.

Key example is the Killdozer guy. During his rampage, he ran down some trees that were planted because a fellow business owner thought they would scare off customers.

Security chat

TSA busted one of my coworkers when I worked at an airport for letting a dump truck which was driven by the same guy for years into secure zone without thoroughly inspecting the vehicle. List of things that the TSA considered suspect when on vehicles; piles of trash obscuring floors, plastic bags, unknown substances, etc.


I made a post a while back about our safety guy telling me to put a regular zip tie on a fire extinguisher until we could get pull apart zip ties in. We had a recent incident where one of our newer colleagues was trying to extend the platform forward and instead removed the pins holding the top rail up, causing the top rail to fall forward and hit an important thing. Apparently our safety guy's lift training consisted of 'drive it like a car'

Yes they are. I used to periodically get requests on how to set up a video surveillance system where they could covertly record audio. Since multiple lawyers have described that as a violation of federal wiretapping law, my answer was that it wasn't legal in most jurisdictions, and that they needed to consult with a lawyer. Most of the time that would get them to hang up on me. Almost always they wanted this because they were sure their employees were poo poo talking them. Which is a given. You're loving management. You're gonna get poo poo talked. Even great bosses aren't perfect.
