  • My label printer. Horrible UI. How do I switch to capital letters? How to numbers? It can print two small lines instead of one, but how? It also has bold, italics, underline, but getting there is a game of trial and error.

    And the display is not WYSIWYG, but just five or eight characters. You never know what you will get when hit the print button. And you cannot save labels you successfully designed - it just remembers the one in the system when you switched it off.




  • Tea. A lot of hotels have tea and coffee making facilities, but a horrible selection of teas.

    What out companies founder took along in his hotel bag had been interesting, too. He always had a 100W light bulb (back when they were common), as hotels used crappy, low wattage bulbs in the room. He just switched them for his own 100W bulb so he could actually see something. He switched it back when he left. The other important thing was a set of plumbing tools, so he could remove the pressure reduction from the showers.












  • Some junkie, high as a kite, ran into a truck. So the rescue guys were sent up to us, the xray department, straight away with a request form where basically every position was marked. Usually, we don’t see the rescue people, as their job ends at the trauma department.

    This guy was so gone, he had not really registered what had happened, and tried to kick people with broken legs and fight them off with broken arms.

    Both the rescue guys, one xray specialist, and I had to wear lead and hold him down, while the other specialist was changing plates and shooting pictures for a whole album.

    I later learned that this guy had broken about everything one can break without dropping dead on the spot.
