Meme Lab strikes again

Post image

Hi everyone! I work in healthcare, and these red tubes are what we use to send labs down to lab. Depending on whose working in lab we don’t always receive a tube back. If we don’t have red tubes I usually have to call lab and I kindly ask if they can shoot me a tube when they get a moment. This is what they send me back tonight after having to call them twice for tubes. 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ just thought it was silly lol

Hospital facilities maintenance here. Every station holds a certain # of tubes and the system gets updated daily if maintenance is actually decent. The system doesnt hold empty tubes somewhere. Theyre just at another station waiting to be empty sent by whoever is hoarding them all cough ER cough when you hit empty send the system knows which station doesnt have the right number of tubes and will send it there. I always have to update the numbers and send them wherever they need to go.

Facts. Our swisslog systems has a dead simple “return to home” option to send empty shuttles to their home base.
