So is it a standard chest x-ray, or do they do the plate squish with whatever chest flesh the tech can get ahold of?

[jay-ell]

Plate squish.

I'm now going through all our forms at work and changing "compression" to "plate squish."

I'm in favour of descriptive English replacing jargon wherever possible.

...not say anything when a woman bought her pre-verbal toddler gum.

thing that will drive me insane now that I've noticed it:

during the summer, green peppers were 50 cents, and orange/red/yellow peppers were $1.00. A package of 4 peppers (one of each color) was $4.00. So I always thought those packages were a rip-off.
Now, I guess peppers aren't in season or something, and cost more. Green peppers are 69 cents, and other colors are $1.50.
But the packages of four still cost four dollars! GOD DAMNIT.
I'm going to buy one of the packages of four next time, and make sure the ones in the packages aren't old or discolored or anything.


I am also increasingly frustrated by customers who say something I can't understand, and just keep repeating it in the exact same words when I continue to not understand. Either at the same low volume, or getting louder and louder as they get pissed off. PUT THE CHIPS AND SODA SEPARATE. PUT THE CHIPS AND SODA SEPARATE. What he wanted was the chips and soda in a separate bag from everything else, not separate from each other like any reasonable human being would want.
(because the soda will destroy the chips.)

Damn, have I transitioned from "guy who talks about his girlfriend all the time" to "guy who talks about his dumb job all the time?"

my girlfriend's pretty cool.

To be fair, you were more the guy who talked about not getting any all the time. It makes sense that you'd transition now the getting some is more regular.

Dude, it's ok.  Don't sweat it.

Just think, you only have 45 years or so of work to go...

[miles]

Ah, an optimist.

[pmcd9]

Yeah, you're actually more interesting now.

no social security, dogg.  he will have to make his millions or swing a sledge hammer until he drops dead.

It's like our little boy is becoming a man, right before our very eyes.

... spell "literacy" for a lady who is filling out a question on a form that asks for her education level.  Before you get judgmental, know that she grew up in a situation.

asking first is a good sign.

Who knows how to spell words anymore? Spellcheck has ruined generations by now.

phonics-only-based learning is not a completely wise idea, as well.
