Congrats and we’ll done to both Cliff and Keith!
I avoided mentioning names because I don't really know who had a hand in this. So, a thanks to COG in general seemed appropriate!

You should want that sticker for your bike buddy. Worm another 50K sticker and cut out the 5 and just paste it on the 200k stickerI received a milage award shirt today compliments of COG since they don't have 250K stickers. I didn't even know we had shirts.
Might have to be my banquet shirt for the Nationals.
Big thanks to COG!
Who's Vinson?Mileage stickers get handed out at 50k 75k, 100k, 150k and as uv seen there are some serious high Mileage bikes out there.
Somewhere with yhis thread theres the info for hiw to get one. The stickers are for the bikes Mileage, not the ,riders so odometer pictures and Vinson are requested...
So with over 18 years in healthcare, Facilities Department, I have to ask:I don't intend to start a new side discussion, only to defend the organization should the subject come up again.
Professionally I am an Information Technology Director for a Heathcare District, but I am also their Information Security Officer which means, in a nutshell, I interpret what does, and does not, constitute Protected Health Information (PHI) as well as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as it applies to HIPAA covered entities as well as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) rules and standards.
Giving your VIN number is NOT sharing PII no more than sharing the serial number from your TV would be. In order for it to be considered PII it would have to be DIRECTLY connected to the person giving it and not an indirectly connected to them. Your VIN number can be used to identify your vehicle and indirectly your ownership of that vehicle. Incidentally, that ownership could change in a matter of moments which is another reason why it is considered indirect identification.
There is common sense test for what constitutes PII.... Could you use your VIN as a form of personal identification? And the commonsense answer is - NO. No more than the license plate on the vehicle is your personal ID. It only indicates ownership, and you are not allowed to hide that when operating the vehicle.
So with over 18 years in healthcare, Facilities Department, I have to ask:
Knock Knock.
Who's there?
HIPPA
HIPPA Who?
I can't tell you.
A little something I shared with my peeps during the pandemic daysFacilities?!? Everyone knows those hammer and pipe jockeys don't know anything about anything!
Truth is, those that don't understand your value today, eventually WILL! And at the worst possible time. Love Facility folks and wish you would get the credit and respect you deserve. I run IT and we too suffer from a lack of respect as well. I think most dog catchers are held in higher esteem than we do in healthcare. Not that anyone should ever be looked down on for their role in any organization! A little more mutual respect would be a good thing for everyone in this great country. Heck I love our garbage collectors, and wait by my trash the week of Christmas to tip them - truth! If you don't appreciate them now, I bet you will after they miss you for a few weeks. Then, everyone loves them...........as they should!
Just another job that sucks, but thank God someone is willing to do it.
