My mom still has her university email after being retired on long term disability for the better part of a decade now. It’s the only one she uses - she’s has it for literally decades now! I can see it being just one of those decent human things.

It's not uncommon for universities to give you email after you've finished school.

Every single person in the support center is trained on how to reset passwords. It is the very first thing you learn in training. You spend an entire day at the end of your training doing nothing but fielding password resets/account unlocks. It is the most basic function of the support center.

I also asked him, since we work in the hospital system that will be first to get the vaccine this week, if we're considered frontline workers and will get the vaccine first with the nurses/doctors here and his stance is going to be, if hospital leadership wants us in the hospital to support those nurses/doctors then yes we should be getting the vaccine with them, so we'll see if that holds up.

You're getting it this week? I haven't heard any dates, but I heard we were getting it this month.

Isolate the line that fails, see what the actual error is and try to narrow it down from there. Or wrap it in a try-catch block and just keep going if it gets an error.

1 staff member in xx department
2 patients in xx department

testing will be on the following days:

The “HVAC spraying covid death on everyone”...

BACK WHEN I GOT IT (early October), i was at work, potentially asymptomatic for 7 days before my positive test result. (Four days before my test, two days after it, as well as the day I tested)

We did not start wearing masks in shared offices until the middle of November. Only entering the building, hallways, shared spaces, etc.

We still don’t have to wear masks in private offices, cafeteria when eating, etc. None of our patients wear masks.

An entire 8 people out of 400 tested positive the week after I did. Way more people should have gotten it if it transferring through the air with myself and two co-workers having it at the same time.

We have had that many people test positive in a single day during December. Usually it’s 1-2, but some days it’s more.

Forcing everyone to have the same desktop background is really dumb as a concept imo.

People put pictures of their kids, or spouse, or other things important to them all the time that they get to look at while working. It's literally free motivation that the users give themselves. If a couple dumbfucks get caught with inappropriate wallpaper, just make a security group of them, then create a GPO or similar that locks wallpaper to the company logo that kicks in only for users in that security group. If anyone else does it, they go into the security group because they lost their wallpaper privileges and nobody else has to.

The point is the wallpaper has information on it and rotates to show a bunch of info that people will never see because they have apps open all day
