I was a trial lawyer for a number of years before being appointed as a judge for the State of Oregon in 2003. I only hear workers' compensation cases, so if you get a speeding ticket I can't help you. If you fall off a ladder at work, I'm your man. Makes me wonder if we should start a new “Judge Holly” section here on the board where you could handle a new reef-related dispute every week. For entertainment purposes only of course! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically babysit a bunch of adults and make sure they meet deadlines while maintaining quality. I also fight with insurance adjusters to ensure they pay for everything it takes to properly repair cars to pre-loss condition. Don’t listen to the big guy in town who spends tons of money on commercials to make it sound like he is the only shop who properly repairs vehicles, most reputable shops properly repair vehicles. In fact if you want a good laugh look up the reviews of his shop and see how satisfied people are who buy into the commercials. Funny you mention this, I have heard the same about this heavily advertised shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great, I would have loved to see that. His history is actually pretty interesting and very well hidden. He is the only body shop that I have ever heard of that hires a full time attorney 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancymacc Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm an RN by education and experience. I now work as an IT Clinical Analyst supporting the Epic Electronic Medical record for a busy emergency department here in Renton. I take the base version that the company (Epic) provides and modify things to better suit the needs of our providers. If you have been in a hospital, Urgent Care or Clinic in Oregon or Washington, you probably have a medical record in Epic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I’m probably of not much use. I can share my random mistakes that I’ve made over the years reefing with hopes that they are not repeated by others....... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we are so dependent on it people don’t know what to do when it goes down. 🙄 As I think about it , it kinda reminds me of what happens when the forum is down 🤔 and I get frantic phone calls! @River City Corals Brian I know you have a stressful and often thankless job and it is so appreciated. While I personally have had some very negative experiences (remind me to tell you about how the Portland police came looking for me over a water bottle that they thought I stole at Woodburn mall 🙄 —true story ) I know just like in all things there are good and bad apples and it’s always best to judge the person and not the group. You’re a good guy in my book 🤗 besides you work with canines which is cool! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes... the all pervasive Epic. Thankfully, we don't have to deal with it in the research world but it certainly controls pretty much everything happening on the clinical side of the operation. Money to be made in IT support for that platform to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBret Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I love this thread so much! Cool to see all the peeps I can harass in the future to help me. I'm basically a glorified receptionist. I worked for years as a medical transcriptionist and a medical payable specialist, front office medical assistant, office manager, marketing specialist, etc. Now I run a cleaning company franchise in our area and assist in a fish store. I adore trading skills and would love to with any saltwater people! Need your house cleaned? I need some fishstore cabinets built! :-) 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
