The RSNA Has No Soul
I don’t normally post items about work here, but this is just too much to let go by…
The RSNA runs a group called the IHE who is making standards that I have some expertise in at this point. One of my clients hires me on an irregular basis to help them integrate with those standards. The end goal of this work is the “Connectathon”. In order to go to the Connectathon, your program has to pass a number of tests. The tests are due December 1st. Yes, one week after Thanksgiving. And when is the Connectathon? How about one week after New Year’s?
This has led me to believe two things: First, the RSNA has no soul and likes working through their holidays. Second, they are somewhat sadistic and like making people from all over the country come to Chicago in the middle of winter.
So, I just thought I would share that little bit of pain with you. The tomorrow due date meant that I have been working non-stop since Thanksgiving thus, among other things, a severe lack of posts. Also much crabbiness (just ask the wife). So, how about a punch-line?
After working through my Thanksgiving to get all my tasks done for tomorrow (which by they way, they are) they send out an email today stating that the deadline for the initial tests has been extended two weeks.
Time for some Guitar Hero.
Dude! That totally sucks. On the other hand, free time for Guitar Hero — or, dare I say it, the latest FF? — could be OK. It doesn’t make up for it, but it can help.
Which GH? I stopped into Gamestop while waiting for Jen and played the Spinal Tap song on GH2. Fun.
