by far, the worst tool that I’ve ever had to use in any circumstances. It’s riddled with bad design and engineering decisions. It’s flaky like a hammer made out of baklava. Standard operating procedure is: 1) try to follow the process in the manual, 2) call IT because that will irrevocably break something in the system. The people who bought this system should be sacked. The people who installed this system should be sacked. Their families should be sacked. The people that sack them should, themselves, be sacked, because of the contamination risk. That’s how bad it is.

I just found out that my company pays ~$12,000 annually for my health care premium. This isn’t the Cadillac of plans, either. And that the rate has risen by about 25% every year since 2000.

So do costs go up by ~25% every year? I have a hard time believing that.
