Bahahahaahah. So my friend works for this company that does military simulation stuff and someone was applying for a job there and sent in some code. My friend looks at it and goes "this looks familiar".

Messages me on Skype and sends me the code snippets. Shits ripped off directly from some of my projects, like line for line, not even any changes, including some nasty code smell that I fixed a long time ago in the current repo.

Ah, the dude is coming in tmrw for an interview and is going to get his ass reamed.

He didn't even bother to remove the tags clearly identifying which project it came from.

I have had the best week, career wise. I work in the surgical ICU, so our patients are followed by both a surgeon and an intensivist. The intensivist does rounds with the critical care outreach team which includes an RN and an RT.

Last Sunday the RN who'd been working with the outreach team all weekend showed up to the unit first, and she said to me "Just want to let you know that the doctors are really impressed with you" and said how the doc that had been doing round also that weekend noted how I was always prepared and liked that I always knew what the hell was going on with all aspects the patients.

It doesn't really seem like a big deal, but I'm pretty modest about work - I just figure I'm doing what I should, nothing really of note to stand out. And the thing about most doctors is that they generally don't like to give people (especially nurses) credit for shit.

So yeah, that felt pretty awesome. My face went beet red and the nurse laughed.

Then today I got a nice thank you card from my boss - I had been recognized by my peers during leader rounding for always making time to answer questions/help out and provide encouragement.

AND I was asked to precept a new graduate starting in September. Asked, but my boss was basically like "You're ready, you're doing it, we've already interviewed the girl and matched her up with you." Again, I don't really see myself as a mentor type person - just strange to come to the realization that I have grown professionally and people notice it. Feels good man.

And that is all. Yay me!

Oh btw I get paid more to be a preceptor...and do less work (well, just different work). Awwwyeah.

I totally read all of that.

Did you?

Uh congrats Jenny. I only read it cause I skimmed it and saw "face went beet red" and was hoping for something juicy though.

Fuck I could have possibly helped stop a string of robberies last night!

I was going to bed around 12:30AM and I went back out to the living room to turn off some lights and I looked out the window and saw three young black men standing around by the entrance to the park I live across from.

I knew there had been a rash of gunpoint robberies from young black men over the last week around the park and thought they looked a bit suspicious, I almost picked up my camera (telephoto on it still from last weekend) to take some pics but thought "no thats racist thinking, its probably just three dudes hanging out waiting for someone".

Well they were waiting for someone. Ten minutes later they tried to hold up a guy at gunpoint just up the street from me and steal his phone, and apparently they had just tried to rob someone on the south side of the park before that.

If only I had taken a fucking picture damn it!!!

hoooo, this is going to go well...
