All my doctors are named Shah.

I just noticed this. Called my neurologist to change an appt, talking to the call center that answers the phones and I say "need to change my appt with Dr Shah" and am met with "which one, there are 40 Dr Shah's at this location"

Wtf?

So i check. I got Minal Shah. Beena Shah. Ankit Shah. Mina Shah. Anand Shah.

WTF?

And I know what you are thinking, you live near DC right its no big deal to have a bunch of Indian drs near a major metropolitan area.

No, I live an hour and a half south of DC. I pass 6 farms (with horses and cows and chickens and shit) between base and my house. There's several Amish communities in my area. Wagons and horse shit and all. This area is as rural as can be wtf are all these Indians doing here?
Go to the amish hospital and they will all be named yoder.

Do they have hospitals? I thought they just accepted their fate
I guess I'm not sure, but you might be thinking of christian scientists. AFAIK, amish accept medicine, just not technology. If nothing else, I'm sure they do all natural remedies. I watched a documentary on xvideos once, and apparently if you get stung on the penis you can talk one of the women into putting it in her mouth until the swelling goes down.

AT&T started testing their alerts a couple days ago. I didn't actually keep count, but there has to have been at least 10. I just got 2 in a row. They all say this is a test, at&t is testing the character limit or some bullshit. I know there's an app somewhere in the phone where I can view the alerts and get an actual count, but I'll be fucked if I can find it now. I don't want to shut the alerts off completely, but this is bullshit.

Dear God this new administrative assistant.

Yesterday right as I'm leaving for the day she emails me a flyer asking if I could post it on SharePoint. Some holiday thing nothing important so I ignore it and will just take care of it tomorrow.

Before I even got to work she had already messaged me on teams asking me if I saw her email as it's time sensitive. Look at the he flyer and it's for a fucking event two weeks from now.

You should do it immediately and then tell her how much you appreciate her enthusiasm and wish more people would do the same.

You now have a direct pipeline to whoever her boss is and inside information.

Upper middle class Indians have a strong work ethic and push their kids to study hard in school to do something like medicine. What's so surprising about it? Indian/Pakistani physicians are everywhere all over the country.

It's not uncommon for rural areas to offer J1 visas as well so a lot of foreign docs will work there for 3 years after training

Not sure about Virginia but in Kansas they have a program that the state will pay for your medical school as long as you agree to be a doctor in a rural area for how ever many years of schooling the state pays for. So if they cover 4 years then you donate 4 years in a rural community.

"lip singing"

Somehow I'ved read this phrase three times already today, what the fuck.

Its almost as bad as the folks who don't understand the phrase "beg the question" and follow it with an actual question. Don't fly off the handle here, obviously its not REALLY that bad, I mean fuck those people. I just mean its almost that bad.

My 65 year old coworker, with an android phone AND gps in his truck, still does this. Well, not the hanging it up from the mirror part, but he goes to Mapquest and prints it out. I've offered to help him figure out his phone or gps several times.

He also has a backup camera on his truck, the kind that comes on automatically obviously (I'm sure they all do), and he never uses it. I've had to yell at him to stop because he's going to hit something he can't see over the back of the bed. A combination of both is the correct way, not only one. But if he were going to choose only one, the camera would be the better choice.

To be fair, I can't use my backup cameras either. It feels off not using my mirrors.

Bro you should embrace it. In my pickup, it's easier going backward than forward with all the backup cameras.
Yeah, main back up and one for each side all displayed next to each other is way easier than twisting my whole torso or swiveling between the side mirrors. It did take a little getting used to though.

Earlier in the week, realize my furnace just doesn't seem to want to turn on or stay on. Call some dudes out here to fix it. Pay $700 for them to empty a drain box and claim it's fixed. Leave for Thanksgiving Thursday. Come back tonight. House is 57 fucking degrees. Humidifier is on, furnace is fucking not.

How do you think "begs the question" is supposed to be used? Same for fly off the handle.

It's enough to make me think maybe lip singing is correct.

Some faggot in China is has been trying to login to my Microsoft account all day so ive been getting spammed with 2fa texts.

Theres literally nothing on it or tied to it. It only exists because I applied for a job at Microsoft a few years ago.

I just got an email with my 'real' name and address and phone number claiming they had hacked my gibson and had all teh dirt on me, so I better deposit 1/32 of a bitcoin in their wallet within 24 hours. It was a very threatening email and didn't have the typical nigerian prince typoes and grammatical errors. Made me want to shoot someone in the fucking face. Took me a few minutes to consider everything they had and realize they must have hacked someone I bought something from.
