I rant. I am a woman. I work in IT. I vote left. I hate people. I probably hate you. But don't take offence. It's just who I am.

This could have been prevented - but spending health dollars on cyber security is not 'sexy'. HealthNZ should be checking the security for all organisations that use APIs to connect to their data - in any way. Or set minimum standards or SOMETHING, so that these private enterprises are incentivised

So, this had me in hysterics: "The reality is that here is a big wakeup call in terms of the protection of private health data ....".
We've known this for years - and yet nothing. Multiple incidents in the Health sector over the last decade, and this is the wake up call? WTAF!! #MMH #ManageMyHealth

"Deloitte Australia will issue a partial refund to the federal government after admitting that artificial intelligence had been used in the creation of a $440,000 report littered with errors including three nonexistent academic references and a made-up quote from a Federal Court judgement."

It does make sense now, her lame attempt at trying to understand the price of butter... Was probably when she found out about the sale, then wished she hadn't have gone there...

I mean, the ONE time he says something mildly accurate... If he'd have said Netanyahu's a f****** psycho - those choice of words would still not be that questionable... Chloe's right - where's the spine?? They all a bunch of jellyfish!

Geezez. That's horrific! Good on her for leaving the job, but she shouldn't have had to.
Sometimes I just loathe the human race...but then I remember that there is a reasonable sized group of people out there that are mostly OK... just gotta hold on to them.

It's not just this. Bullying is now rife again in the workplace. And racism and sexism. All just allowed to happen. And I get told off for calling it out. My org is a fkn boys club.
I'm so tired of having to be the receiver, the deflector and the caller-out-erer.

I bailed up a bully today, and got told off by my boss for doing it.
I don't care.
You cross a line, and I will stand up for myself. I will stand up for my team.
I will not bury my head in the sand.
And then I cried.
I'm tired of the fight.

Is it a cost blowout when it's actually cos they are just pissing around for so long prices go up?
Should it not be called 'too fucking slow to get shit done' interest?

At what point did it become ok to: treat people like shit, make people feel like shit, bomb countries without provocation, sue the crap out of media to get your own way, roll over & submit to bullies, not get harrassed for rolling over & submitting to bullies, publishing perverts faces everywhere...

I have a customer, who hates my guts, because she didn't like the fact I told her the product she wanted wasn't a good fit for them. She trialled it, it wasn't a good fit, blamed me cos she wasted her time trialling a product that wasn't a good fit. Now she wants another free trial, vendor agreed...

I guess the end of the world is nigh... any new-ish tv series I've missed that I should watch before I turn to nuclear dust? I hope Buffy v2.0 gets released before then.
