you can tell who's out in the workforce by who's posted in this thread.
we do have low wages. they've been pretty stagnant despite the increasing cost of living but we got through the recession better than most.
on one hand, i feel sorry for the workforce in vancouver/canada but then i remember how much worse it is elsewhere and then i'm thankful for being able to live here. we're lucky that unions exist here. the overall workforce (union and non-union) is much better off with them. seeing places where people are too fearful of losing their jobs if they unionize that they tolerate abomidable treatment from employers changed me from anti-union to pro.

i have a new job which doesn't allow me the freedom to post on here and play on internets from work anymore, like how i used to at the photo studio. also, i just have nothing else to say. i spent a good chunk of my time over the past few months in CT but after the team started sucking this place depressed me so much i don't really post a whole lot
thats actually not far off LOL her god damn house looked like an episode of hoarders, so i was like, **** this, im gonna clean this place, then she has this closet thats like monicas bull**** closet from friends and i was like, what the hell dude. how can one person have so much **** but i dont question things anymore
Hey hey hey! A new job! Congrats!

Here's one when she 'ESCAPED' last summer.
And here is the 'tummy trap'
Lastly here is one where she is embarssed to be seen with me. Good times.
Soon I'll try and get one of her with a sleeping TS
Haven't seen many TS posts. He isn't posting as much anymore?

Thanks Canada!
TBH, would have expected a photo that had something plane related..

despite the constant snow, the commute has been surprisingly good, actually. not different at all despite going on Hwy 1 and over a bridge. It's great that the snow isn't really sticking on the roads.

Fascinating. CDCers really do meet IRL.

MM, go mirrorless all the way. I don't care what brand/format Sony, Panasonic etc but if you have anyone trying to sell you on that you need a "true" DSLR you should laugh at them, possibly slap them across the face tell them their a moron.
lolz i once owned a nikon d5100. good camera but i just dont like big, bulky ones
Oops. Looks like I've turned the Post your face thread into a camera thread. Sorry y'all.
And yeah, all my other dslr carrying friends converted to mirrorless awhile back already too. My dslr is too bulky but I haven't put my mind to doing the research to upgrade yet.

when i bought mine, december 2010, it was about $900. that's about how much the sony nex-7 is, maybe around the 700 range. the nex-5, you can get for about 3-400 now
oh hey, thanks. yeah the camera technologies and the prices keep changing. i had a waterproof 5mp point and shoot that I got for $500 in '08? can't believe i spent $500 on that now..
-
sony nex-5 =3
yep. must have been $$ when you got it. i should check whether those have come down in price. been thinking about getting one for awhile now.

is that one of those mirrorless cameras Olias?

Hospital stays can be traumatic for patients and their family members. I give you the top 10 ways to survive a hospital stay while maintaining your sanity.
10. Bring your own pillow. Trust me.
9. Bring a laptop computer or request one from the hospital. Hospitals all have free wireless these days and many will actually provide you with a laptop if you just ask.
8. Bring an accurate and updated medication list with you. Nothing leaves you more vulnerable to hospital errors than to have your doctor give you medication you haven’t taken in months or for you to miss medications that haven’t been updated by your five outpatient doctors since they bought their worthless EMR three years ago.
7. Write down all your questions early. Your doctor will only come to your room once a day (because they only get paid by Medicare to come once in a day) and any unanswered questions will have to wait until the following day.
6. Be patient. There is no clock in a hospital. Nobody knows when any of your tests are scheduled to be done. Not the cleaning lady. Not your nurse. Not even the doctor doing the procedure knows when you’re up. You’ll know when you’re up when they cart you away. Believing anything otherwise will just make you frustrated.
5. You’re going to be told things that contradict each other multiple times a day. That’s normal. Accept it. All your doctors and nurses carry their own perspective and experience. There is no right answer to many of the questions you will seek. In order to feel the best, simply pick the answer that makes you feel the best and run with it.
4. Being sick is highly unpredictable. If hospital care was easy and straightforward, we would be monitoring you from home with our Skype account. But we aren’t. You may be stable one hour and unconscious the next. That’s not your doctor’s or your nurse’s fault. That’s why you’re in the hospital.
3. Your doctors and nurses are not dumb or uncaring because they don’t do things exactly as you wish or respond to your every need or request with immediacy. We see thousands of patients a year who all carry their own life baggage in one way or another. There is no protocol for making everyone happy. The closest we can come is to provide you with our AIDET process, which does an excellent job of preparing you for #4, 5 and 6, but it won’t make you happy.
2. Be nice. If you are mean to your doctors or nurses, they will consciously (or subconsciously) avoid interaction with you and your family. There are many safely guarded methods handed down through centuries of medical and nursing training that have prepared doctors and nurses for the difficult family. We know all the methods by heart.
1. Request a hospitalist. We’ll get you out quicker and less sicker. Less sicker does not mean healthy. You are in the hospital because you aren’t healthy. The best we can offer is to make you less sick. Any doctor claiming otherwise is …well … see #5
Bonus tip
Here is one last hospital survival tip that will shed hours off your day of uncertainty:
When you are admitted to the hospital, request the highest hospital floor for your room. Most doctors will take the elevator to the top of the hospital and do gravity rounds. That’s because doctors, like most Americans shun stairs in favor of elevators. That means doctors will start at the top of the hospital and work their way down from floor to floor until they are done seeing patients. If you don’t want to be last, make sure you get to the top of the patient list hospital.
There you have it folks. A hospitalist’s guide exclusively for patients on how to survive a hospital stay while maintaining a sense of sanity.
Interesting! Thanks for posting. Never heard of a hospitalist before.
What is a hospitalist?
The Society of Hospital Medicine has adopted the following official definition of "hospitalist."
Hospitalists are physicians whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Their activities include patient care, teaching, research, and leadership related to Hospital Medicine.
