A Woman Dies at Her Desk and Is Found 4 Days Later; It Says Volumes About Our Lack of Connection

I usually don't post memes. I'll leave that up to the other guy. But when I do. I think they are funny yet make one think.

In the next example, yes I do want the country back that I knew.

Sometimes ambition can be a bad thing. Just ask our Genius Award Winner.

A Woman Dies at Her Desk and Is Found 4 Days Later; It Says Volumes About Our Lack of AUGUST 26--A Minnesota wedding photographer hid a camera in a bridal suite and surreptitiously recorded a woman--who was “in her underwear with her breasts exposed”--getting dressed for her nuptials, according to a criminal complaint.

Police learned of the video voyeurism when the photographer’s wife recently provided them with a thumb drive containing the video, as well as “other sexual conduct material” that is not further detailed.

Upon examining the video, investigators were able to identify the bride who was secretly filmed, as well as the wedding venue (The Barn of Chapeau Shores in Albert Lea, a city about 90 miles south of Minneapolis).

The video, “taken from a very low angle,” was shown to the 27-year-old victim, who confirmed that she was the woman recorded. The victim identified Mitchell Ringness, 30, as the still photographer, adding that he was not hired to do “videography or boudoir photography.”"

Judge: Vanderbilt student protester who violently took over a building can be prosecuted

Leftist protesters break into Vanderbilt building
Anti-Israel protesters assault a security guard (grey jacket)
at Vanderbuilt. Click for full video.
The lawless left: A judge ruled this week that Vanderbilt student protester Jack Petocz, who was one of three who violently attacked and injured a security guard in the process of taking over a building on March 25, 2024, was not exercising his first amendment rights and can be prosecuted for assault and face an almost yearlong prison sentence.

Judge Lynda Jones ruled during a preliminary hearing on Thursday that there was probable cause, and told Petocz he’s facing a possible jail sentence of up to 11 months and 29 days for the assault charge. Jones said Petocz may face more time if state prosecutors charge him with aggravated criminal trespass, a Class E felony.

In my inbox this morning was a notification from the state system that I have a "learning" assignment (that is, a required training video/quiz). OK. I log in. It's about 10 clicks to get to the "learning," which is a 2 page PDF and a 5 minute demo that could have been a 2 sentence email for anyone with an IQ higher than Kamala Harris.

The first notification went out Sunday and it was marked overdue Monday (a holiday). And I got a reminder to do the "learning" 5 hours after I completed it.

State government at its best. But I got a certificate!!!!

If it's the Tempe office that also contains one of their data centers then I've worked in that cube farm. High cube walls with narrow openings, barely wider than an office chair. Quite believable that someone could die in there and not be found for a while. You can walk right by one of those cubicles and not see if anyone is even there or not without expressly looking.

I think the idea was to prevent people from accidentally seeing sensitive data. Looks like it worked a little too well.

71 It just is what it is. Nobody is so challenged by the arithmetic.

Communists elevate criminals above normies because criminals are allies in the war against normies.

They use the criminals in the streets against the nominally free populace to keep them in fear. The ones who show courage get tossed into trains and cells and other enclosed spaces with criminals to teach them fear.

Tyrants can find common cause with criminals, but not with normies. It ain't rocket science.

77 The Forbin trilogy is weird. And it gets weirder. The first book is solid. The second...gets into some really troubling stuff with Forbin's wife. It's really off-putting in a nasty way.

82 There was a story about the Patent Office (where the real introverts hang out in one-man offices) that involved a death that was not found until Count Monday. Urban legend. He was found by the janitorial staff that night.

But we did have a male lawyer stealing purses and using their credit cards, and a shooting that was not found until the morning.

Patent Office has stories. You went in on federal holidays to work, as the hours were not counted against your productivity quota. I took annual leave to go to work to catch up. That quota was relentless.

I've been struggling with my and my wife's health. And other issues. But I am on the mend now.

I now have too many kids to give individual attention, and to nudge them with science and questions.

I owe you a response. Soon.

93 I like those stories where the abused wife shoots the 350 pound husband in his recliner in Beauregard Parish on the Sabine. In a house on stilts. So she ties a chain around his ankles and hooks his truck up and drags him down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs she buries him. Goes to Lowes and gets 20 bags of Sacrete, pours a stoop over him. Sheriff asks 'You know where Benny is?, she says 'Yep.'.

108 I think the woman in the office died on a Friday; so two of the four days was the weekend. It's a bank, so no one was there.

And her cubicle was well off the path to the water cooler.

So it's... kind of understandable. When I worked in a cubicle farm like that, I didn't want to know my neighbors, and the feeling was mutual. Easy could have checked out and no one noticed.

109 The lawless left: A judge ruled this week that Vanderbilt student protester Jack Petocz, who was one of three who violently attacked and injured a security guard in the process of taking over a building on March 25, 2024, was not exercising his first amendment rights and can be prosecuted for assault and face an almost yearlong prison sentence.

There is an Antifaette "journalist" who for years has engaged in theft, vandalism, assault, and similar activities, always without the slightest consequence, because she did them in Portland.

Then, in 2021, she decided to engage in assault and riot in a suburban Portland county.

Oops - no Soros DA there.

She kept putting the trial off, in the obvious hope that if she delayed long enough, the charges would be dropped.

Nope - she went to a jury trial, the deputy DA did a fine job and got her convicted, and she gets sentenced on Monday, with a high probability of a prison term.

She burst into tears when the verdict was announced - after years of being able to do whatever she wanted without consequences, I'm sure it was nightmarish that she was actually held accountable.

112 I gotta point out that the "dead for four days" story is just the usual media sensationalism. Died on Friday, found on Monday.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, that's four days, OMG, the callousness of our society!!!

Let's do a little reality check. She was working late Friday, and died after everyone, or almost everyone had left. If I was working late and someone else was inthe office as well, we didn't usually check out with each other. No callousness required. Saturday and Sunday no one was in the office, or at least didn't pass her cubicle. Her body was discovered early Monday.

No one ignored the rotting corpse for four days!
Jeez.

123 The one thing that gives pause - no argument a person can get tucked away in a cubicle or office without anyone knowing pretty easily. But employees pretty much everywhere swipe in with a card, or some sort of who's here today login.

Wage employees, at least "they" will notice Right Away if someone didn't swipe out at the end of their shift because they are well into overtime hours and that kind of thing. "What time did you go home last night" will be the first words out of a supervisor's mouth. Maybe they don't look at stuff like that, but they probably should. Was she salaried, maybe they were looser with that. I can't help but think there was a computer login that should have been flagged.

I thought the last thing I heard was they were tracking everyone's mouse movements to ensure productivity, and in turn workers were downloading an App that would simulate actual computer work to avoid malingering, gold-bricking cubicle farm dwellers.

Maybe that's it! She was scamming on the company!

When I worked at NASA in Houston I could have lived at work. I could have slept on couches in my building or in others, and showered and shaved at the employee rec center. It was open from 5 AM to 10 PM. I could go on- and off-site 24 hours a day. I could have kept clothes in my vehicle and changed in the rec center. I believe if I did this and was found-out, I would have been told to stop it. Nothing more.

Better yet, one of her Antifa buddies decided to assault someone outside the courthouse after the verdict.

He goes to trial in October.

This guy deliberately grows one of his fingernails very long, so it can be used as a weapon.

The guy he assaulted had a puncture wound from the fingernail.

The county commissioner is a registered nurse, and treated the victim after the assault.

254 Yes but only amongst family and friends. Meanwhile every receptionist, nurse, PA, etc. in any medical entity contacted as well as all employees of medical equipment retailers that are involved (think, wheelchairs, CPAPs, etc.) know your complete medical history.

My annual August eye doctor visit got me a little ticked. The 'receptionist' taking my info upon arrival looked at her screen. She asked me out my owing another doctor (my cardio) for a visit just the prior month. I politely asked her if she was in the hospital's collections dept. She said no. Then I said, 'Then that's none of your damn business!'

Unless you work in HR, with access to insurance records, that's bullshit.
HIPPA is intended to protect medical RECORDS, as maintained by hospitals, medical practices and insurance companies. If you're not discussing information obtained from a source like that, it doesn't apply.
The only thing keeping employees from sitting around the lunch table comparing colonoscopies is a sense of decorum, not a federal law.

Posted by: buddhaha at September 04, 2024 12:09 AM (Pwf7s)

I worked projects that brought videoconferencing systems into operating rooms. Mostly teaching hospitals. When HIPPA became law, I was assured by more than one chief of network security (yes, it was a thing even before the Internet) that I could and would be personally liable if the live video of a procedure somehow leaked to a third party.

Maybe they were bluffing, but I did compare that experience to the scenario in which my boss in 2021 had his assistant call me to inquire as to my COVID vax status. I informed him that I would not be releasing my private medical information to him. I was tempted to point out that, according to my read of HIPPA, he was committing a felony simply by asking..

286 You're at work, and one of your cow-orkers says, "Where Mary?", and you say, "She just had her hip replaced."
HIPPA violation?
If Mary said to you, "I'm having my hip replaced next week," or you heard it from her daughter, who bowls in your league, the answer is "No".
If, OTOH, you had to approve her sick leave request, and she tod you as you were initiating it, te answer is "Yes", because the sick leaveform is a medical record,and you obtained the info ancillary to its creation. Even overhearing it in that circumstance is a violation.

I have yet to comprehend why this insidious trend ever started in the first place. I do not ever remember in my lifetime thinking, 'I'd sure like to drink a steaming cup of pumpkin pie right about now'.

Hazelnut's just about the only flavor I want in my hot coffee, and not the liquid additive crap, either. (Iced flavors are great, a refreshing light milkshake in the hot summer; I never drink iced coffee in the winter, in fact it's getting to that early morning low temp stopping point, upper 50's-low 60's.)
