May also open you up for HIPAA violations. A lot of the emails are sent secure. Auto forwarding is also against company policy and it may be blocked.

I could start printing all my emails but the search facility is not so functional.

I am just taking it as part of the job that sometimes I just need to spend time revisiting issues. This is healthcare of course and it's not meant to be efficient.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Forward the emails to your own same account before they expire.

That'll get you pretty well instantly shitcanned most places I know of.

Are you familiar with how snowballs are made? :unsure:

Trying to understand US construction works.
This morning there were no flaggers but had coned off the the right turn, ahead, and left turn into a single lane. I wanted to turn left but the left turn filter would not work because that lane had been coned off.

I have no idea how I was supposed to deal with the lights. I managed to eventually go on a flashing orange after 3 changes of lights.

I think the flaggers were supposed to start around 30 minutes after they had coned off the road.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

It is a mystery to me why I have never seen temporary traffic lights used at roadworks in the US - they all seem to rely on two or more flagmen depending on whether the flagman are within line-of-sight of each other, and sometimes with a pilot truck through the single lane section (functionally similar to a token on a single track railway - you can only go through when led by the pilot truck).

One word, unions.

This is an interesting variation on temporary traffic lights http://northamericatraffic.com/wp-co...ped/rcf2.4.png

Not round here.

I suspect that, round here at least, it has more to do with Americans' penchant for running red lights. :unsure:

I used to know some people who had a little dog called Peeve. He was their pet Peeve.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

A lot of cities around here have red light cameras. I'm sure this would be a nice revenue earner for them.

We have had construction near me for about a year and I'm always seeing people being stopped for speeding. The most police I have seen on the 2 mile stretch is 3, with 3 people pulled over.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I saw my first one EVER just last weekend. It was on a FM out in God's country. There was a bridge down to one lane due to repairs/construction but it was the weekend and nobody was working. They had one set up on each side and it all worked beautifully.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

But this is America! In Phoenix, they have removed many if not most of the red light cameras because they were deemed unconstitutional. I personally didn't pay a fine (due to negligence) and never heard a word.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I forgot constitutional rights come far ahead than public safety. Oops , my m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ bad.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

You think red light cameras exist for public safety and not revenue generation? They are bullshit. I got a ticket for making a legal right turn at one in our town.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

They were removed in NC because of a court ruling more than a decade ago.

I tripped a few speed cameras (NEVER a red light camera) in Britain (saw a flash), but never got a ticket, and one in Germany. A couple in the UK I used to trip deliberately because the camera only faced one way, but could be tripped in either direction! :rofl:
