Laughs that kept you going this week

What’s a small thing that made you crack up this week? In my Tuesday 1100 group, a Marine dubbed his broken alarm “tactical oversleep” and we all needed that laugh — humor’s a legit coping tool, and if your day tips from funny to heavy, the Vet Center’s open and the Veterans Crisis Line is there 24/7.

My win was calling the coffee I dumped on my boots ‘liquid camouflage’ — the room cracked up. I set a 60-second laugh drill at 1500 and keep a ‘laugh stash’ album on my phone so there’s always one clip ready; what time of day hits you hardest?

If they say “streamline 510(k) evidence,” ask to see labeling change-control SOP and last NB audit summary — missing = my deal-breaker.

Ask to review pre-sub minutes and 510(k) test plans; if they balk, that’s culture. “Streamline” how, exactly? https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/q-submissions-program.
