would probably have a stroke or heart attack.

I’m in the same boat as the other reply, I can use them for a lot of stuff but for ANYTHING work related even just viewing my schedule let alone sending HR a sick note or w/e I need chrome proper to log into the organization’s intranet. Degoogled chromium, even Firefox just keeps reprompting me to enter my authenticator codes.

there should be spiders in your walls. they eat the worse shit. as long as they’re not recluses or widows (or whatever the actual dangerous kind in your locality are) leave them alone. They’re like the insect version of cats, they’re a symbiotic organism that keeps disease out. I understand not wanting them directly in your space with you but if they’re in the walls and vents where they belong leave them alone. trust me if you’d ever woken up to a cockroach crawling on your face or had your house eaten out from under you but termites you’d welcome the hidden spiders because modern cockroaches and termites don’t give a flying fuck about pesticides.

Modern EMRs flag various data for review. A BMI over or under a specific range triggers a dietician consult to review the patients diet orders. Dietician doesn’t even review most patient charts without a consult, so out of the 5 things I forget to do everyday, the EMR can look at the height and weight I put in and put in the consult automatically. It’s one less thing and lemme tell ya, there are a LOT of things. So if I’m admitting a little old lady who was on the floor of her house after 2 days with a broken hip, in the middle of reconciling her medications and getting all of her feces off her, the EMR will call the dietician for me, who will look at her and be like “oh she REALLY needs some protein shakes yeah.”

I get a high skin fade and buzz all my body hair once every month or two. Really gets the airflow in all the crevices for a bit. Anything more than that seems exhausting.

It’s just a cart that as you said has about 20 books and a few board games at any one time. My donation picks seem to go pretty quickly (but also I have very #booktok taste).

yeah it would be cool to not die painfully while waiting for that. quickly sure but maybe not neurodegenerative disease or smthg

I always go to the used book sale and get like 30 $1 paperbacks then donate them to my unit book cart (inpatient psych) when I’m done reading them (also a paperback and cup of tea pair nicely with a good night shift).

If any of you would like you do this just remember only paperbacks and while it’s not a hard no it’s best to avoid obviously hardcore / explicit violent or sexual content (nothing the other patients are going to comment on them reading in the dayroom). Also most of my coworkers who would object to adult content don’t really actually… read. At least not enough to censor content deeper than the cover.

I think knowing the population density and the amount of grocery stores in your area will add a lot of context to this question. Like even broadly is this either a rural area or an urban neighborhood with one real grocery store within 5 miles? I’ve lived in both and I’m not giving up fresh hummus for you even if you were a complete asshole. Even if you were stalking me you’d find out a long while before I give up on portobellos (not victim blaming, most of my personality traits that scare off weirdos are considered mental illness).

Temporal bedroom divorce. I’m only in it during the day he’s only in it at night. Sometimes I try to snuggle up to him while he’s sleeping for a midnight nap and he gets up to move to the couch and I cry a little inside. Nice to have no sleeping disruptions but a lot less cuddles.

As a psychiatric nurse can confirm; black people are objectively cleaner. Doubly so if they’re Muslim but even Christian / nonaffiliated blacks as well. I was raised redneck in a very quietly / mildly racist environment so there was this underlying mindset that black = poor = less hygiene but when I started working healthcare my perspective really changed.

Hygiene in general is very culturally dependent and honestly once a day is fairly common among whites, maaaybe every other day without causing any problems as long as they’re cleaning their hands, butts and teeth properly (if it’s less than that they’re almost certainly struggling with some kind of psychological / psychiatric problem). Black patients on average shower 2x daily (although they wash their hair much less, like weekly or every 2 weeks). They HAVE to use lotion though for their skin to tolerate that, white people usually just leave their existing skin barrier intact. Muslim patients often need accommodations (time excused from group therapy) to accommodate their prayer and hygiene schedule.

Me: I renewed my license this year.

Them: how does a $50k sign-on bonus sound?

Me: extremely suspicious.

The therapy was integral; it helped me contextualize the experience properly. Not everyone can afford it and that’s important to mention.

I did a horrible and dangerous job for 2 years while undergoing the most intensive psychotherapy that exists. It improved my social skills, developed a skillset that’s rare and highly valued in my chosen field, and completely recalibrated my sense of hardship.

I use tarot cards. They’re pretty and I get to be the weird bog witch I always wanted to grow up to be.

I would give my life’s savings if you were able to give me 101% certainty that you would turn all Jeff bezos properties that he owns or any company of his owns literally countrywide into homeless shelters and make him live in a 2 bed 2 bath in the suburbs because that would also mean if I lost my job I would have somewhere to go and that’s already more certainty of safety than my life currently has.

worse oversensitivity actually I think I need to try the TENS on them and see what happens. I have a neuropathic toe I’ve been meaning to do too.

sometimes I wonder if I’ll miss them someday but then I saw an ad the other day for bras that was like our bras fit all shapes!

• too small on top
• too small on the bottom
• too big on the sides
• flat
• pointy
• Long
• lumpy
• point down
• point up
• point out
• point in different directions

and for only $80 per bra!

I’m a little grateful they’re gone after seeing that.

I got my tits hacked off but it was mostly for back pain

I finally revamped the tree of life diagram for the index of my notebook on esoteric spiritual traditions. Every element is clickable / tappable and goes to a different place in the obsidian notebook:
