It was a decent raise at the time. Too bad I got into professional software development about 6 years before this latest market crash. Been unemployed since November because much more experienced devs are also out of work.
I left an old job after automating it. It was insanely tedious and boring, so I built an automation platform. Went on to a job that I liked even less. About a year later I got a call asking me to come back and rebuild the automation engine into an official product for the company.
It was awesome and I got to make it a lot more robust. And since it was built directly into the platform instead of made as a hacky layer on top of it, it worked so much better. That was a lot of fun for me.
I had it done electronically a couple months beforehand. The doctor told me this is why their policy at the time was to write controlled drugs on paper for the time being.
I had 7 prescriptions sent over at once and got one on paper. The doctor told me this was the reason that the one controlled substance was given to me on paper.
Also I had been given this need electronically once before a couple months prior.
Well I had this same medicine sent over electronically a couple months prior. The doctor I saw told me this was the reason they would only give me a paper script this time around.
Except I can get crosswords elsewhere. I have two different apps on my phone that provide the same enjoyment. Maybe not up to the quality that people like from NYT but they do the job for me.
I didn't consider existing orders vs a one time prescription making a difference in my case. It also could just be my provider and others in my area - my friend who goes through another hospital system here for scheduled drugs has had to go through paper prescriptions if there wasn't already a refill on record.
I guess each system is handling it the way they see fit.
This could just have been a policy that my provider put in place. This was also a one time order following a hospital stay which might make a difference.
It's really just Mastermind with letters instead of colors. And they didn't even create Wordle either, they bought it from the original creator and tried to lock it up behind a paywall. I still sometimes get told I have to subscribe to play. I've mostly given up on it because it's lost it's appeal for me anyway.
You're not understanding, or you're arguing in bad faith. This is the system that doctors use to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacists so that the patient can pick up the medication.
I heard about this last weekend when one of my prescriptions had to be written on paper because it's a controlled substance. The normal stuff can still be sent electronically, but any controlled drug is being done manually right now.
Pharmacists cannot order drugs for a patient. A doctor (and certain other medical professionals) must prescribe the drug first, and the pharmacy fulfills the order.
The system breached is used by doctors to send the orders to the pharmacy.
I'll stick to my Brother laser printer. Bought it during the pandemic and still haven't been through an entire toner cartridge. Never had an issue printing either.
I got it for work documents that needed signed and mailed and such. And I like to print out flow charts and the like for big projects so I can reference them without having to pull them up digitally.
Add in some sour cream and I'm absolutely in agreement.
