    @Aqua-Letifer said in Love the work, hate the job?: I keep my phone plugged in at all times and when I'm in my car, I turn it off to make it a pain in the ass to use. Pretty much the only thing I like about my phone is the fact that I can listen to podcasts and music when I'm driving.

    "Years of experience" is correct. Experience is like coffee; it's a mass noun, not a quantitative noun. (I think we call them countable nouns but I have some Oz terminology in my rolodex and it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.) So "years experience" is like saying "he has cup coffee." Similar thing with "couple of questions." Saying you have "a couple questions" is like saying "I have pair shoes." That construction is actually colloquial in many areas of the country, but no, it's not grammatically correct. "Different from/to" is a little more complicated, because that's a weird Brit thing so Phibes would be your man for how accurate "Different to" is over there. But for us, it's "different from." Our weird variant, which is not correct, strictly speaking, is "different than."

    “Shoplifting does not kill you, it’s wrong, it’s breaking the law, but that’s not what gets you killed.” Yep.

    @NobodySock There may however be something to your mirth although it does not involve technologically advanced extra-terrestrial beings. Just chemical bricks and mortar building blocks: "We now know from Bennu that the raw ingredients of life were combining in really interesting and complex ways on Bennu's parent body," Tim McCoy, curator of meteorites at the Smithsonian's Natural Museum of Natural History and lead author of the new mineral study, said in a news release. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/asteroid-bennu-chemistry-1.7444567

    @Jolly I agree. My father in law survived two strokes five years ago. He's paralysed on his left side, can't do anything without 24/24 assistance. Can't ask for euthanasia because of his mental incapacity. It's hell untill he will pass away. He's 91 and his health is pretty good, considering his situation. You don't wish this for your worst ennemy

    Either way, it’s a step. Next up will be the legal challenges, and ultimately Congress needs to address it.

    JD's Voice: "Today I was berated for not getting my discharges done before noon but also for not seeing the sickest patients first. I also lost access to the doctors lounge for billing too many 99213 and not enough 99215." Cut to scene of JD, bleary eyed, trying to click through a MAR hold.
