Radno vrijeme ambulante u sklopu Cvjetnog naselja...

Fascinantno je kako je u stvari teško doći do podataka o radnom vremenu te ambulante! Već po N-ti puta guglam na sve strane ne bi li našao kojim datumima ambulanta radi prijepodne, a kojima poslijepodne i svaki puta potrošim po barem sat vremena za to. Konačno, uspio sam naći na ovom linku taj podatak, a kako idući puta opet ne bi trošio vrijeme bez veze, odlučio sam na blogu zapisati radno vrijeme. Dakle, parnim datumima radi od 13:00 do 20:30, a neparnima od 07:00 do 14:30. Dodatno, petkom ambulanta uvijek radi prijepodne. Pauza je od 10 do 10:30 te od 16 do 16:30. I da, pacijenti se primaju pola sata po početku radnog vremena do pola sata prije kraja radnog vremena. Konačno, broj telefona ambulante je 6191 231.

Tako, da idući put ne gubim vrijeme bez veze!

Napomena: doktorica i sestra su na godišnjem od 15.7.2016. do 15.8.2016. Zamjene su:

• Od 18.07. do 29.07. zamjena je Dr. H. Šimurina (Horvaćanska cesta 35, ispod restorana Brazil) koji neparne datume radi ujutro, a parne poslije podne. Telefon je 01/3010972.
• Od 01.08. do 12.08. zamjena je Dr. R. Marković Kunić (Jarunska bb, studom S. Radić) koja neparne datume radi poslije ponde, a parne ujutro. Telefon je 01/3028455

Napomena: od 21.3.2016. do 4.4.2016. ambulanta neće raditi zbog godišnjeg odmora. Definirano je kamo trebaju ići oni koji trebaju liječnika, ali znam samo da je negdje kod studentskog doma Sava.

Napomena: od 12.2.2016 ambulanta je vraćena na staru lokaciju u sklopu studentskog doma te radi po uobičajnom režimu (petkom uvijek prijepodne!).

Napomena: od 1.8.2015. pa na dalje ambulanta je privremeno preseljena u Dom zdravlja - studentski dom Cvjetno naselje, Odranska ul. 8, Zagreb. To je odmah pored samog doma Cvjetno naselje. I dalje radi parnim datumima poslijepodne te neparnim prijepodne, no tako je i petkom, tj. petkom NE radi samo prijepodne. Razlog preseljenja je obnova studentskih domova.

VMWare Workstation on Fedora 17...

Today, when I started VMWare Workstation, it notified me that there is a free security update. Since it is advisable to update whenever there are security issues, I approved it, but of course that after update I had a problem starting VMWare workstation. Since there are constantly problems with VMWare and Fedora I finally decided to track everything I had to do in this post. In other words, this post will be updated whenever I have to do something to VMWare Workstation to get it to work.

Ok, as I said, on a fully updated Fedora 17 (kernel-3.4.2-4.fc17.x86_64) when a new VMWare Workstation 8.0.4 is installed (or updated) it can not configure itself because of errors in kernel modules. As I wrote this I wasn't able to find a patch that fixes everything in one step, but I managed to combine two fixes that allowed VMWare to start. First, I had to apply patch for 8.0.3 that fixed vmnet.tar file. To do that I also had to modify a bit the script distributed with patch so that it accepts the fact that I'm using a newer version of VMWare (i.e. 8.0.4 instead of 8.0.3). Then, I had to apply a small fix for vmblock.tar that I wrote about in other post. Finally, I tried to start VMWare Workstation but it failed again?! After a bit poking, I realized  that there were dangling processes/modules so I had to kill all VMWare processes, remove modules, and that start succeeded. Of course that I could also restart the laptop, but because of the number of open windows I have, that wasn't an option. :)

When I did all that, then I found out that there is a patch that does all this, i.e. those two steps but combined, but it is for VMWare Workstation 8.0.2, which means you still have to poke a bit in script that applies a patch. And finally, this blog seems to be a good place to look when you have some problems with VMWare (and VirtualBox) and newer versions of kernel.

An interesting article about car dealers...

Yesterday I lost over an hour reading the article titled Confessions of a Car salesman. Very interesting peace, worth of reading, and probably valid for other situations and other countries, like Croatia, too. Thinking a bit more about this, I'm certain that everything in life is in essence a process of buying and selling. Probably someone more experienced/knowledgeable that I am will laugh now as I discovered hot water. :) But hey, it's better to realize that sooner than later. :)

So, I'll emphasize few things I found interesting in the paper and that I remembered:

• The first one is "up to" method. When you want to sell something, you ask how much the one buying is prepared to give. When you hear the price, you then ask 'Up to...?' and that buyer then increases a price by himself. :)
• Also, what was interesting is that when you enter office, the probability that you'll buy something rises. This is one of the tactics of sellers, get a person into the office. What's interesting is that this reminded me when I was in Egypt. Tactics there is to get you into the shop and to do that they use different tricks, e.g. they have a present for you, but nothing to put it into so you'll have to come with him into his shop.
• When you are trying to sell something, you have to talk constantly. It is not so important what you are talking about as it is not to stop talking. :) This reminds me of cases where I overheard some guy seducing a woman and thinking what a stupid things he's saying. But, the point was not to stop talking. :)
• Buying over the Internet removes a lot of pressure from buyer, so it is advisable to use the Internet, at least as a preparation for buying something.
• It's good to work in pairs. Namely, in that case one can be bad, in a sense that he/she brings bad news, so that you can be good guy and to have confidence from a buyer while in the same time claiming that bad guy said something and you can not negotiate it.
• When approaching someone it's good to start with small talk just to relax that one you approached.

But only later I realized that this article was written in 2001. and I was really surprised. So I wonder, what, if anything, changed from that time. Probably one thing changed, namely, in the article it says that Internet is "ruining" a bussines, and it's certainly true that Internet today is more popular than it was 10 years ego. Nevertheless, it's good one. Some time in a future I intend also to read other Confession articles, too.
