I love medical IT stuff. I love having to navigate a weird outgrowth of windows 95 using a trackball and a touchpad that only has an "Up", "Down" and "Enter" button rendering it functionally the same as the trackball. I love having to find specific files using that interface bearing in mind that nobody has bothered to name a single file on that (Because you would have to do so using the trackball and touchpad) machine for its entire runtime of a decade without anyone having bothered to delete a single file. (Except when it gets filled up and some poor medical student is set to delete *every single file on it by hand, manually, using the fucking touchpad and trackball)
I love that because the average age of management is 90 (With the CEO/Director being in the low 40s) every single piece of software has seven hundred warning pop ups whenever you attempt to do anything, chiefly reminding you that you are being monitored including what patient files you access, but then whenever some doctor is found to have done some egregious fucking crime there's suddenly no fucking records.
I love that I have 4 apps to access my job at the hospital and they are all just functionally going on a website through the app, and 2 of them are the same website.

No you must have misread. I said I loved it. Jesus told us to love our enemies and to turn the other cheek and this shit is clearly trying to kill me.

Job security?! I'm a temp worker working through an agency that literally auto fires me if I don't get enough of the first-come first-serve shifts

Oof. That sounds double awful. I was mostly kidding but sorry it sounds like it was not the place for it!

Nah its fine to make jokes. My job is pretty sweet for a student gig anyway, there are definitely people who get paid much less to deal with much more.
