They haven't even asked for references yet (beyond my resume existing) and I don't think they are going to lol. Everything about it so far feels like they have a big shortage of personnel and need to hire people ASAP. It's an industry that would logically have been forced to drastically reduce operations during corona lockdowns and now needs to spool up again. They had this position listed like six times just in this county, but copied for different locations all over. And they want to hire for all of them.

Basically what I'm saying is I think I came in at the perfect time and they're fast tracking anyone they get a good feeling about because they were probably weathering corona on a complete skeleton crew. I'm jumping in from a different industry but my experience is relevant so I think they're just all over it. I guess we'll see. I try not to never count things as in the bag until they actually are, but this one feels pretty good.

Usually because it's sent in a package that looks like something an insane person put together with lots of red permanent marker and letters cut from various magazines. Inside is always a poignant, well worded, and thoughtful letter I just have to get off this crazy guy box thing I'm on recently.

I recently had a discussion like this with my eye doctor when getting set for new glasses. Again, boring, but they were doing a retinal scan on some big rear end fancy new machine of theirs and I commented about never sharing retinal scans and IT security, etc and he was like 'whoa we had to firewall off the whole machine and here let me show you how the whole poo poo works, LOOK, here's your whole eye, dude, look, you can use it, we can get one of the techs in here! check it out!" basically just because I sparked up a conversation it was kinda neat.

I suspect a lot of specialist doctors are secretly big nerds about the tools they get to use, but most of their patients are too uninterested (or scared) to want to talk to them about it. :)

Incidentally, I work in a cancer research lab, and just around the beginning of the pandemic we hired another supervising professor, who brought his little group of students and an engineer with him. We have finally gotten to properly talk to them over the last months, as the lockdown/work from home situation calms down. One of them is a machine learning guy, and the data set he's working with is a huge library of retinal scans, some of them with early stages of cancer. It finally came out that his dad is kind of a star within the realm of Chinese eye surgeons, and had pushed for him to also go into medicine and surgery - and his machine learning studies basically started as "gently caress you dad, I'll invent something to replace you instead". (They have since come to peace and sometimes collaborate on things.)

We treat imaging data like that as the lowest grade of sensitive, as long as it's not paired with more identifying information - kind of "this should of course not leak, but maybe save the real paranoia for the whole-genome sequencing data and anything with names". Which means he gets to work on a machine with an internet connection, for one thing.

Went fishing with mom and dad yesterday. Got 11 kokanee salmon (they are small, 11"). Not a huge catch, but not bad. Beautiful day on the lake. Cleaning them I use a scrubber pad to de-scale them. Makes it a lot cleaner for cooking, canning, smoking. I then cut their heads off and gutted them. I use one bucket for the scaling and another one for the guts and heads. Scaling bucket gets dumped into the creek, rather than dumping it in the forest and creating a scent site for bears and such. The heads and guts go into plastic bags and thrown into the freezer to be taken out with the next dump run.

Except yesterday I took the wrong bucket to the creek and dumped 11 fish heads and guts right in there. It's not the worst ecological disaster, but the neighbor downstream pumps a lot of water for his gardens and I hope that fish heads and guts don't clog up his water pump.
