Bell Cheeses at work

At last a contribution to this most excellent thread.......
I get an email from a department head welcoming a new member of his team. Usual info, but then it went into the following as part of his previous experience.
...He developed Bayesian nonparametric causal inference models for treatment effects in the presence of environmental covariates, and he was also responsible for the automation of models including containerization, deployment, and migration to the cloud.

WTF?

Wording like that usually translates as something like putting new labels on the recycling bins.

Appropriately, on the opening day of the Olympics, no post is more deserving of a gold medal. If only I could fathom what it means.

This story involves a bell cheese at work, but the offence wasn't committed at the office, however I still think it's worthy of inclusion.

This morning one of my team (in his early 30s) who had the day off on Friday came sloping into the office looking like someone had died. Upon delicate questioning, it transpired that something even worse than that had taken place!

I enquired as to how his day off on Friday had been, and he told me that he'd spent the morning with his kids at soft play and then taken them for lunch (nothing out of the ordinary so far). His expression then became a bit more nervous and twitchy. He said that he'd had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. I wasn't going to pry any further, but he told me that because of a family history of bowel cancer (two uncles and his father had suffered with it), he had been invited by the NHS to be screened earlier than the usual age group. He'd gone along for his pre-screening appointment and had come away with something called MoviPrep (sp?), which is apparently a very powerful laxative. He'd been instructed not to eat or drink anything from 6pm in the evening, apart from consuming the laxative every hour with a pint of water. The doctor warned that once 6pm arrived, it was probably advisable not to leave a 5m radius of the bathroom.

6pm rolled around and he consumed the first pint of water, laced with the laxative. He braced himself for hell to unleash itself from deep within, but nothing happened. 6.30pm arrived and there'd still been no explosion. Thinking that he had the digestive system of a Viking, he decided he'd nip to the shop to pick up a few things for his wife (COLOSSAL error). He merrily took the 10 minute stroll down the road to Sainsbury's, was happily perusing an aisle, bent down to get an item from the bottom shelf and promptly shat himself horrifically. He didn't go into the gory details, save to tell me that they'd had to temporarily close that aisle whilst a cleaner was summoned.

Reaching the end of this awful tale, he told me that he was now seriously considering moving to a different area. Being that this was his local shop, he was on nodding/chatting terms with a lot of staff and other customers, so naturally felt that he wouldn't be able to face going in there ever again.

A sobering reminder never to think that you know better than a medical professional.

Mine too esp as I took the words of my GP and can vouch for the sudden and nuclear reaction. It’s incredible and just keeps on coming. I have nightmares about Movi prep
