lab techs hate improperly collected samples. The people who collect those samples often in turn hate lab techs.

As a lab tech, I feel this one.
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I spent years in a research path core and am just wrapping up my med lab certification, it amused me when they hired actors to come to our program and we role-played dealing with angry pathologists, fuming nurses ect… Most of my clients have been MSc students or MD/PHD conducting research. they might be experts in their field and conduct these brilliant studies then stumble right at the finish line because sample collection was bungled or something ruined during extraction. I’ve seen some “interesting” DIY fixation and processing protocols to save a little money that did the same thing. I always feel so bad but most people are willing to learn and work with us.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just send it back with a derogatory note telling them to take it again.

It’s never easy to connect samples properly in the field and it’s never easy to draw conclusions from imperfect sampling.
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m in pathology (research, transitioning to medical) so that was my frame of reference here. Its my job take the samples given to the lab and turn them into slides for analysis but tue results are only as good as what I’m given in the first place (crap in, crap out). same with blood draws, urines, anything improperly collected no longer properly represents the thing it came from. Then I have to tell the client that…

Anyone using a phone hates clankers.
There’s one automated system I need to call regularly at work that does not give me the option of dialing numbers and forces me to speak to it. It lists the options it can understand, but I can’t just press a number to move on. Then it asks me to say and spell my first name, then say my last name (which it guesses the spelling of incorrectly) and pretends to type while it’s processing. Why are we doing this?

Arborists hate Bradford pear trees. They’re the ones that have white flowers and smell like cum. That’s not even why we hate them though.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I wrote a mobile app years ago for a company that surveyed power lines to figure out what trees had to be cut away. They gave me a list of something like 800 tree species and I was like “do you guys really know what all these trees look like?” They did, it was a very impressive knowledge set.
A fun fact about power lines in rural areas: property owners generally get compensated monetarily when their trees have to be trimmed for this, and the amount they get is dependent on the species of tree. So the surveyors would usually find all kinds of incredibly exotic shit planted directly under the lines, basically a cash crop for people living in the middle of nowhere. This is probably a huge and under-appreciated factor in the spread of invasive species.

That’s gorgeous, I love the unintended consequences
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, what is it?
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
It’s an invasive species and they grow with very poor structure so that they basically collapse in a pile or broken limbs after a couple of decades. And the nurseries marketed them heavily for a while so they’re planted everywhere. Pain in the ass to work with.
lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Some house nearby must have one of those in their garden, because there’s a section of the road where I always catch that odour. Thanks for pointing it out to me, now I’ll look for the tree next time I have to pass through.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
There’s actually a few trees that can smell this way but if it’s in the spring and there are white flowers then it’s probably this one.
BurningRiver@beehaw.org 2 months ago
I had one of these in front of my house, and every spring I wondered why I smelled crusty underwear in my living room. The day I finally had it removed was one of the happiest of my life.

I know q-tips aren't safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.
ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 2 months ago
What do you mean, not safe? I always thought “do not use in your ear canal” was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?
TeddE@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.
blindsight@beehaw.org 2 months ago
They’re also used as cleaning tips for small/targeted applications, especially when you don’t want lint from a Kleenex or paper towel lingering. Makeup application/removal and electronics cleaning, for example.
I think (not a doctor) the ear thing is because if you go too deep you can cause some serious damage, and they can make wax buildup worse by compacting it. If you stay close to the ear opening, and do circular motions to swipe wax away, and clean your ears often enough that you don’t get dense wax build up, and don’t “double dip” to introduce potential pathogens, then I think they’re pretty safe to use? But that’s too many caveats for lots of people, so I think ENTs often deal with people damaging themselves with them.

Supposedly they can pack the earwax together which can be an issue.

Zink@programming.dev 2 months ago
Yeah, I am not going to contradict any doctors when it comes to the risks, but for my ears and the way I do it, I haven’t ever hurt myself and my PCP says my ears are completely clear at each checkup.
I think I’m fortunate to have pretty light thin wax though.

I bought metal earwax spoons. Sure, q-tips feel great and all, but pulling the clod of wax actually responsible for the itch is divine
RogueBanana@piefed.zip 1 month ago
I am way too scared to use one lol. Certainly wouldn't trust myself to use it but maybe I should give one of those services a try.
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They’re perfectly safe. Just pinch it towards the end you’re using, can’t do too deep that way.
RogueBanana@piefed.zip 1 month ago
I do try to be very careful but sometime overdo it a bit going a bit deeper but not to a point of permanent ear damage. Hopefully...

Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
As an IT person: Intuit products.
Their support sucks and unless it’s operating as designed, you basically can’t get any answer more specific than “call support” online, and when you do decide to call them, the IT guy can never get answers unless the account holder is on the line because they refuse to talk to anyone who isn’t on the account and they refuse to add the IT guy to the account.
Also, QuickBooks desktop is basically dead. There will be no 2025 version as far as I’m aware. They’re forcing everyone into QuickBooks online.
Also, their automated file doctor tools are basically useless, rebuilding a file has a good chance of breaking it, requiring intervention from the data services team.
They also seem to have no idea what automation is, and have little to no shits to give over making deployment and management any easier/simpler for the IT staff that needs to support their product.
Fuck. Intuit.

I like the one guy who said he pays taxes so that he can have civilization. It kinda sucks a company has near-absolute monopoly of tax-return software, and thus I’m interested if there’s a FOSS alternative to that.

GNU Cash is an excellent alternative to QuickBooks as long as you do not need payroll services.

- people who, after a complete workup expect miracles -> really?
- (drug induced) aggression -> look I am trying to help you here dude
- recurrent psychiatric patients that are not treated properly or untreatable -> hey you again, same medication? Wow you were here 7 hours ago…

Don’t get me wrong, there are bad teachers (had a couple both as student and as a parent), but mostly are doing their best. Or at least not be purposely bad.
