You trying to make flash cards or something speedzy buddy?

For our radiology rotation we need to go through about 500 powerpoint slides worth of material. If I go through the slides in the same order every time, I always know what's coming next, and can diagnose based on that memory instead of actually figuring out what's going on in the radiograph, and sometimes it's even subconscious that I know what to expect to see.

I figured it was something like that. That makes sense. After a quick google it looks like you have to do a vba macro of some sort to do such a thing.

Yeah, I saw that, but I have no idea what that means, so I figured I'd ask yous guys.

If you wanna send me the PowerPoint file with all the slides I could probably hook it up for you and send it back. Do you have my email?

[iZuma]

can't you just rearrange them yourself manually?

GOD SHUTTUP SHAKE IM TRYING TO GET SPEEDZ TO SEND ME THE FILE SO I CAN JUST REPLACE EVERY SLIDE WITH DICK PICS

[speedz99]

The file's too huge to send anyway. But yeah, that would've been funny.

That would take a long time, and after a few times through I'd run into the same problem.

[speedz99]

Fuck it, I'll just figure out the VBA thing, found a site that explains it.

This is by far the most practicle approach.I'm dating myself a bit but the first scary movie I saw in theatre's was Ammityville Horror. I was pretty young so I can't imagine why I was watchingit or who I was with.

sry spdz. god damnit, did I tell you guys about that plan management here had to move me to another position that I don't want and without asking me? well I had a few people tell me that they got so much pushback from other groups on how stupid that was that they gave up on it. well now I just got word that it's back on and happening soon. son of a bitch. seriously though, am I making too much of this? I mean technically it's a promotion with a little more money (though in actuality less since I won't get overtime anymore and my overtime is more than any raise they would give) and they're all trying to build it up as "good experience," but shit, it's taking me off the career path I've been working towards for five years, plus it'll also keep me from being able to post out for other internal jobs I may want for two years. plus, I mean, I feel like it's pretty damn disrespectful. am I being stupid here? do other companies do stuff like this?

[speedz99]

Is there not someone you can say all this to who actually has the power to do something about it?Your company really does sound godawful.

[iZuma]

nope. my manager, my manager's manager, the manager of the department I want to go to, my hr rep, hell even the manager of the team I'm getting forced onto ALL told the higher ups that it's a shit idea, saying basically what I've said here (not my career path, disrespectful, etc.). they apparently don't care.

Is it just me, or between the Mel Gibson rants and the last three pages in here, has brvheart's dementia really gone downhill recently.

[iZuma]

all these damn banks have these huge buildings in the cities I want to live in, then I search their job openings in those cities and there's like 3 positions. what sense does that make? by the way, since I found out about the reintroduction of my move this morning, I have done nothing but search for new jobs. I'm fucking pissed. I don't think you're crazy brv.

Thats just.....odd. Especially that they'd do it without at least running it by you to gauge your interest. Why would it take you out of the internal posting poolfor 2 years? Is it a special project kind of thing? Have you heard why they want you on that team so badly? Maybe they have bigger plans for you than yourealize now and this would give you the opportunity to learn a different department? Trying to find some lemonade in your lemons here...

[iZuma]

the two years thing is company policy: accept a new position, get moved, change titles, whatever, you can't post out again for two years. only exception is if you're recruited. and the weird thing is is that I was chosen BECAUSE I was one of the standout people here who busted ass and got noticed. from what I've been told, they couldn't find any qualified candidates for the position, internal or external, so that's why I'm being moved without being asked.

This made me laugh, since last semester, I tried to email a 10 slide presentation and google said, "no."500 slides is a lot.

sigh. I wasn't defending Mel Gibson. At all. I think he's a looney toon.

Thanks, buddy. Move to Iowa. We have tons of insurance companies and banks with lots of jobs available. 4% unemployment for college grads.Your current company sucks.
