Indeed Mel! I’m great, enjoying retirement, at least until I figure out what to do next. Definitely a little jelly seeing your travel pics with the family!!

My conversation a lot of today has been how the medical field has changed. I have a friend who just called and her Dad had a stroke at the end of July. Both the hospitalist and neuro rehab facility doc agree he would benefit from therapy. The insurance wants to send him to a skilled facility. Denied therapy. He's 61. The hospitalist is doing a peer to peer but told my friend don't get your hopes up. You're smart to find an exit plan. It's just a shame after so many years of education and training that you're ability to practice medicine is ruled by insurances and corporate greed. |

I've worked in the IT field for 37 years now...all at the same place. ("IT" wasn't even a coined term when I started.) Helped to build the information dirt road, which later bloomed into the information superhighway. (Before you ask, Al Gore was never in any of our Christmas party group pictures.) I was also the lead/designer for the first at-scale wifi deployment in the world, and had people flying in from as far away as India to see how roaming between floors and buildings worked in real life.
These days, I spend most of my time apologizing for building the Internet that brings us Facebook, Twitter, and all of the other abusive social media bully-pulpit platforms. The rest of my work time is spent on audit trails, access requests, and e-discovery from lawsuits. As I say, my job used to be way more fun before the lawyers and auditors discovered the IT profession! I should mention that one of my side "hobbies" at work (and unofficially here on BP) is hunting screwy Nigerian princes, phishing scammers, spammers, and other ilk. I sat on a panel about email spam and stuff at an FTC conference in Washington, DC about 15 years ago, and was ranked in the top 25 globally every month for finding phishing scam site web URLs right before COVID-geddon.....

I'm a VP of Information Technology Services in the healthcare field.
I recently changed jobs (just 3 months ago) - I previously worked for the largest non-profit healthcare system in the U.S. and I agree that healthcare is a mess. I was making ridiculous money but was miserable because I couldn't make a difference for our clients, who were in desperate need of tech investment. I'm still in healthcare but in a more specialized area: Radiology. It's pretty cool what they're doing from a technology perspective in this space so it's invigorated my motivation a lot. I was more than happy to take a pay cut to join this firm where the morale is so much higher as is the intrinsic satisfaction from my job. ![]() |

This whole traveling freak show of lobbyists trying to sell their "fix" was going to Boston for another government hearing a few days after the FTC conference. Several people asked me if I was going to be at that event as well, apparently accepting me into their fold. I'm sure that it was fun, but I was so disenfranchised by the whole scene that I didn't want to be a part of fixing it at the government level after that. Anyway, let's summarize by saying that I'm not surprised that the spam problem (and now robo-dialers) has not been resolved in over a decade.....

I create fictional worlds. I'm one of the people that makes movies and tv shows look good. Lately, I've been working on the Disney+ Star Wars shows for the last few years.
