Astonished rice eater :eek:
This morning I got an e-mail from the RHC in the RMC commending the DPC and RFA (moi) for having done a jolly good job of the DIPECHO proposal for Cap.
I received the Meridian Cross this weekend at Glenn Abahnn’s first crown list. My champion did not prevail but this made for a really good time after all.
Well, last time I was at work, I not only assisted with ADL’s, but also changed the 8 French Shiley, ties and sponge on one pt, prn, as well as using aseptic technique to redress a stage II with saline soaked 4x4’s(also prn). On another pt, I activated the JVAC and I irrigated the NG, placing it to LIS–it returned green bile right away; pt OOB w/ assist x1. I also D/C’ed a Foley(DTV @ 2100) and demonstrated (with return!) a glucometer on yet another pt.
last week I pulled a sweet vendo 44 out of a barn, only paid $100!
Yesterday I installed a cooling fan and got the rangfinder servo on my helmet to work!!
Mine was a g3p2 31 weeks with twins and PTL on mag, CBR, and a BSC.
At 2100, she complained she “couldn’t go”. I called the on-call who chewed me out saying that this was a day shift responsibility and gave orders for dulcolax X 1 which I applied with extra lube.
At 2145, I found the pt was tearful and leaning over the bed and reporting she couldn’t sit and was in pain. The on-call chewed me out again and ordered MOM x1. When I went back to the room and L&D was performing a pelvic and reported an impaction stating there was a “tree stump in there.”
At 2200 I called the on-call who ordered 5 or morphine x 1. I asked for a soap sud or oil retention, but she said no- it would cause ctxs and PTD. She told me to disimpact, but I said that is not a nursing proceedure on a 31 weeker with PTL. She had the nerve to tell me the suds or oil would cause PTD, but not the disimpaction and the she wasn’t coming in to disimpact. I asked if I could repeat the meds, but she said no. I pointed out that the pt had complained to the am rounder who didn’t do anything and that she would likely be hearing from the nocs again in about 4 hours.
At 2300, nocs attempted to disimpact, but it was not well tolerated. They got an RX for dem/phen q 4 overnight.
The am rounder tried to disimpact, too, without success. They continued PO and PR tx, overcorrected, and the pt went for days…but never delivered.
Two weeks ago I got the first videotape ever obtained of the breeding and territorial displays of the Bare-throated Tiger-Heron. Almost nothing is known about its entire subfamily.
Yeah, yeah, I’ll do some nice macros to keep you happy 
While we’re reviewing the code, using i and j for array indexing is a bit cheezy too. Oops.
I guess I am out of the running here since at least one person understood my post 
Why? i and j are absolutely stock standard for iterating over arrays.
I’m onto you! (and I did the same thing to a PVS last week–I think she is still “open”).
Are you L&D or post-partum? I work step-down/adults.
True, but Code Complete strongly suggests using meaningful names. As it happens my tidy little i & j loops utterly break the program I’m using them in since functions I have to call use a global scope variable as the index to the array (also global). I’ll have to add a line like
stupid_global_idx_var = i; /* i could use a better name here */
Bloody global variables :mad:
Small Clanger, feeling sorry for himself maintaining other peoples’ programs.
no, No, NO! Either Code Complete is an utterly worthless book (and there have been many) or your reading it wrong but the absolute worst thing to do is to fall into the latest fad du jour and ignore what the majority of the software world has been doing for the last 30 years. i and j should never be global variables. Programmers reading your code will depend on the fact that i and j are not global. i and j are reserved solely for iterating over arrays and other non-trivial iteration tasks.
This post to be accompanied by the sound of a thread crashing off the rails.
They aren’t. They are my local loop variables. However I have to deal with programs written by people who thought nothing of having globals called x, y and z. In this particular program the global loop variable has a relatively sensible name (curr_rec), but gets incremented as a side effect of function calls, which keeps life interesting.
This isn’t the place to defend Code Complete. As a taste though here’s the last bit about index names.
I just showed that although hbm_matter.status_code values of “A” and “O” are different, they both map to matter.mm_status code of “A”, regardless of matter.mm_date_closed.
As I told them a month ago.
You couldn’t just say they were FOS?
As for my brag-worthy obscurity, I provided source information on legal aspects of cryptography to Bruce Schneier yesterday.
(Infosec and crypto geeks should know who he is)
I completed a standard sextuple in practice the other day - only my second one ever, and I’ve never achieved it in a match. Although the break was ridiculously out of control most of the time, I eventually finished with a tidy straight triple. Well, if by tidy you mean irish peeling penult at an angle of about 50 degrees and bouncing off the wire with striker’s ball in order to hit escape ball the other side of the hoop. And peeling rover straight from about 4 yards (allowing for the hill), stopping six inches in front. In fact, it shouldn’t really have been a straight triple finish because I got the 3-back peel in going to 2-back, but failed to have the 3-back pioneer in the right place. Still, I was pretty pleased with my performance overall - although my swing was a little unreliable at times, my rushing was OK.
:o. In what area in particular?
On Saturday, I’ll become a landed baroness.
Can I be your friend?
Barony of Fenix? Congratulations Your Excellancy. Will you be at Border Raids next month?
