Desk Hack Questionnaire

1 = Never; 2 = Very Infrequently; 3 = Sometimes; 4 = Very Frequently; 5 = Always

1. How often do you end your requests on an unstressed syllable, implying deference?

2. How often do you contemplate your overall dexterity with office supplies, their usage and reclamation?

3. How often do you marvel at your recall of office, departmental extension numbers?

4. Note the frequency of your misinterpreted, poorly-coded memos as they correlate to some degree of your self-worth?

5. Rate the frequency of your cued recall of the latest, and ever-changing, abbreviation or acronym?

6. How often do you take pride in being at the center of the "gossip hub" and/or "misinformation ring"?

7. How often do you find yourself unable to replenish from the fatigue of responding to the demands from disembodied voices?

8. How often do you place the desired document in the desired hands, on the first attempt?

9. How often do you find other people reaching into your personal space...as if you did not exist?

10. About how often do you need to reference something work-related at your internet-disabled workstation?

11. How often are you the poor unfortunate of a visitor's displaced hostility?

12. How often do you affirm your skills outside of your workstation, in your leisure?

13. How often do you accurately retrace every catacomb for people (like yourself) sign, arrow, and number illiterate?

14. How often do you enforce the company policy of "Friendly Fascism" with others descending from you on the (discreet and discrete) earnings scale?

15. How often do you attend to the color, even script as it applies to whiteboard neatness?

16. How often do you experience dry eyes from scrying at a computer screen?

17. How often do you pass on information to be later invalidated by others, more or less repeating the same information?

18. How often do you experience somatoform symptoms--like slow hands that will not grip a pen or a numb ass that circumnavigates via office chair?

19. Rate your day-to-day consistency with name-dropping.

20. How often do you adhere to the policy, "most of all, have fun"?

I am noticing the startling frequency of dozing beyond 6:00 am, and finding my dream more or less anticipated here. Yes, I was at that site.

I never thought that I would see my thirtieth birthday.

The dream ended with my estranged brother bringing the four of swords from the basement.

I never remember department numbers. I write down the vital services and floors in my Leuchtturm 1917 book, which is now forest green.

Irrelevant now; a below-the-knee amputation is finished. Just FYI for the next case.

As a matter of fact, I did purchase the next report book with a gift card and redeemed points this evening:

Forest Green Leuchtturm 1917 Ruled A5 Notebook

We took the kids to the bookstore and settled on one or two selections. "Madelyn, you have to learn to walk before you run, and misidentifying words in Fox in Socks does not qualify you for chapter books at this time. It does not matter how enticing the covers are."

The 30-dollar tier Woobles are among us, but little did I know that the second season of Squid Game made into the crochet collection:

I will always think of the VA at night and the employees glued to their screens watching Squid Game in the fall of 2021. It was not an edifying watch. People are awful.

I have had a pharmacy technician certification since 2014. I like reading the education at the end of the year, and this was relevant to me. I infuse a lot of iron sucrose and iron carboxymaltose in heart failure patients.

"CHF is frequently associated with iron deficiency (ID) with or without anemia, both entities representing negative independent predictors. Anemia and ID worsen therapeutical outcomes, increase the need for hospitalization, and decrease the overall quality of life in patients with CHF [4]. The contributions of anemia to heart failure, incompletely elucidated, are multiple and intricate. A series of etiopathogenic hypotheses have been described: iron deficiency, increased levels of AcSDKP (stem cell proliferation inhibitor), excessive secretion of cytokines, hemodilution, and cardiac cachexia.

Moreover, drugs commonly used in the management of CHF, such as angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, anticoagulants, and antiaggregants, pose a risk for anemia development through multiple mechanisms, including direct erythropoiesis inhibition, and gastrointestinal bleeding leading to absolute ID. This fact further underlines the link between anemia and CHF, and the strong likelihood of anemia onset in this group of vulnerable patients."
