Microsoft updates - Anonie


Posted: Nov 19, 2014

Just had a weird thing happen to me. On Tuesdays they typically send out Microsoft updates which are usually to see if you have any kind of virus on your computer. Usually, this only takes a few minutes to configure my computer and this time, I thought it never would stop. Honestly, it was at least an hour to configure my computer. I think something is wrong. The only other thing I updated was Adobe Flash. Anyway, it was weird and scary. Thought I was not going to be able to do anything like work, check e-mails, etc. Anyone else have this happen to them?

The only person you succeeded in making look stupid, as was your obvious intent, was yourself.

Yep. Same thing happened to me. I updated earlier this evening, and it took, I bet, an hour and a half. I'm looking for a job, so it didn't keep me from working, just looking.

Backlog Updates -- What Are They For???
Jul 11, 2014

Can anyone explain what good backlog reports are or what purpose they serve.  Its not like we can pick the hospitals that have the most reports, or we can work overtime to clear out the accounts, or we can jump on the system to clear something out if it is not our appointed work schedule.  What good are they?  New TSM is constantly sending these meaningless reports out, that I can't understand because of all the abbreviations, and they are just taking time away from my typing ...

I get sometimes up to 6-8 emails from my various TSMs on a daily basis with their "status/OTAT reports" constantly asking up to make it a "great day" and really work hard to get reports moving in my various accounts.  Does anyone seriously read these things?  Do they think we AREN'T working as hard or as fast we plan to?  Exactly what incentive is there to put in any more effort than the status quo?   And in this current environment of low pay, slashed pay, etc, does anyone really give ...
