I am one test score away from being fully certified in my applications at Epic. I’ve only been there for four months now. The thing is, I’m not sure I passed the last test.

Once I got out of constant classes, I started getting assigned small scale development and a few projects all of which have kept me pretty busy. I don’t think I’m really supposed to be spending time at work studying anymore so I really didn’t review much before the test. Let’s hope that wasn’t a mistake.

Something strange happened today. One of my latest projects is to retrofit an older version of the software with some changes made by some official body regarding codes that go out on claims. Basically I look at another guy’s work and copy it over to an older version. Anyway, I start adding these codes and a good chunk of them dealt with abortions. Some of them were not that surprising like “abortion due to rape” or “abortion due to imminent danger to the mother,” but the last one was “elective abortion” and that just made me stop and think. I realize that abortions in healthcare are a fact of life, but it was still a little strange to be confronted with it like that.

The weather is finally acting like it’s supposed to, at least that’s what I hear. The A/C will probably be off for the rest of the year, and the bedroom will be nice and cool for sleeping. I’m looking forward to it, but first I catch up on some tech news.
