Don't tell the child labor board!

Problem #1:  JM is 7000 "electronic signatures" behind at work.  

Since he got his new Mac laptop, he has not been able to log on to the hospital website and "sign" his charts.  The IT department said that it was possible to log into the system on a MAC, but after weeks of trying the IT department now says you can not use a MAC.  So, JM took his old laptop back up to the hospital for the IT department to set it up for home login.

Problem #2:  Tyler needs a new bat. 

On Wednesday, Tyler goes to the batting cages with a batting instructor.  This is something he has been doing for over a year.  During his "off season (fall)", we have continued to go to maintain and improve his swing for the spring season.  In Texas, all kids play and love football.  In Alabama, all kids play and love baseball.  During his first 30 minutes in the cage with the machine, his bat broke.  If you have not bought a bat lately, that is a $100-$275 purchase.    It is Christmas, and I am done shopping.

Solution:  Dad taught Tyler how to log on to the hospital and "sign"  his charts.  Okay, don't panic.  Any kid can press a button repetitively 7000 times!  If it were only that fast!  The trick is staying awake between clicks.  You have to wait for the file to load and then click the button.  Wait and click.  Wait and click.  I have seen JM fall asleep many times doing this!   JM promised to pay him 2 cents per chart to be applied toward a new bat.  Okay, don't tell Tyler about minimum wage laws or we are going to be in trouble!  He has currently completed about 800 and it has taken a LONG TIME!

  1. I think with 7000 charts, I would be willing to do a few for say a nickel a chart. Pathetic you are that far behind JMV. Hope you all are well and Merry Christmas! Scott Thomas
