We have seen a lot of this lady on TV lately. Not too sure who she is. Someone from the Public Health Service. But the question is: What is with the ribbons. Ribbons are sort of mini-versions of medals. So, what are hers for? Good conduct, perfect attendance? Maybe a Sharp Power Pointer Badge. In-country medal for service during the SARS outbreak? Did she fall on an anthrax ridden letter? I suppose her medals are as worthy as many modern military citations.She most likely facilitated, oversaw, managed, led, supported, supervised, headed, directed, piloted, steered all manner of task forces.After having facilitated, oversaw, managed, led, supported, supervised, headed, directed, held, piloted, steered numerous committees.
Waiting for the pig flu
Spent 8 plus hours today at the volunteer job. Major effort in our department “Employee HEALTH” (not “Employee SICK”) is being sure that all 2,000 plus hospital employees are update on how to wear protective gear. Now you would think that they would know that already. After all… it is a hospital. We do have sick people here.
But, what else do I have to do? Might as well do some good. Having no medical skills – I run the computer, xerox machine and the errands.
Day three with the WordPress system. Think I might stick with it. It sure is easier than my old do it yourself system.
Looking better…
Well, this sure looks better than yesterday’s version.
And let us take a little timeout from blog tinkering and pig flu prep to welcome Senator Specter to the Blue Team. I always liked him. Except for Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas of course. Some grudges you can hold forever. Or at least as long as Thomas is on the highest court. Which will be longer than Mr Specter or I will be around.
Flu prep. My hospital’s ER had the busiest day it ever had on Monday. Everybody who sneezed showed up. In the bowels of the hospital we are busily fitting people with N95 masks. And wondering where was all this flu concern last fall, last fall when we were trying get people to get flu shots.
I think I might learn to like this WordPress thing.
Hello world!
I am rather underwhelmed by wordpress. I haven’t a clue as to what is going on with it. Mostly, I guess I am just ignorant about it.
But, it is what most every one seems to be using for blogging. Remember, boys and girls, I started this before anyone heard of blogs. See the first entry 28 apr 2001.
OK, let us figure out how to stick a picture in the page.
Well, there it is – a picture. The Bendix G15. That was my first computer. Bendix also made washing machines. This fine blue machine pre-dated “hello world” by almost 20 years.
Anyhow, here goes.
Ignore all the links, buttons etc...
