I didn’t like his voice either. Couldn’t they have picked a voice actor who could enunciate better?? Like he sounds so flat and bored

Well, it doesn’t matter where I go. I’ll always be a Californian. Or if living abroad, I’ll always be an American. These locations are what’s shaped me and after a certain age, that’s just not gonna change.

I do pulling exercises (back muscles), reverse crunches or leg raises (lower abs), and hip thrusts (glutes)! Also: stretches to open up the chest, neck stretches, lunges to stretch the front hips (hip flexors).

I try to do these every day or every other day. It doesn’t take much time. I’m not trying to build anything. It’s about good habits and maintaining strength in muscles that tend to weaken with prolonged sitting. All I really need is a resistance band - which has the added perk of being able to bring it on vacation:)

No monologue for me. Just image and sound. For example, when thinking about a situation, I’ll just imagine it as a moving picture, but there’s no internal narration to it. I don’t think in sentences. I just think about the image or feeling and then process it somehow.

I’ve discussed this topic with others before, and they don’t really get it lol. Well it’s equally weird for me to think about it their way, constantly having an internal monologue.

Just leave the floor while on your break IMO. I’m sure you guys have a break room? Like why are you on the floor while other nurses are busy running around, meanwhile you’re sitting there on your break writing haikus, in the ER no less. I only know what I read, but this is sounding insufferable…

Yeah I agree. I don’t keep anything valuable in my luggage because I don’t need the risk when checked. I could lose my luggage and it would just be boo hoo. A bunch of clothes lol sucks but not the end of the world.

I just have a lockable zipper on my personal item. That’s been enough all these years, plus common sense. xD

I don’t look at them, act super unenthused, and just kinda tune them out. I’m thinking they should get the hint or eventually get bored and give up lol.

Yeah, deleted posts show up as ‘error.’ You can’t even view the discussion or anything, even if you participated. It’s bogus =\

“You’re someone I look up to.”

My brother has said “you’re someone I’ve always looked up to” and I was taken aback. We’re an action vs. telling type of family, one that does not give compliments lightly. It was the sweetest thing to hear. Meanwhile he was the one I admired for having his shit together.

Take care of yourself before you care for others😅

I think therapy is always a good option depending on the person. But answering for myself, no therapy needed. To echo another comment, I don’t really get upset by patient cases, it’s more the coworkers that get to me. It does take a certain type of person to work in the ED. Like you need to be a person of action, you can’t be sensitive, can’t get hung up on small details, just do what you can, no regrets. Some aren’t cut out for it, but they usually don’t last that long and end up transferring to another unit.

Idk how long she’s been working in the ED, but if it’s been years now then she’s probably fine🤞🏻lol. And IMO it’s pretty normal for healthcare workers in general to not like talking about work when off the clock. But if she’s ranting, then it’s nice to have a listener even if you can’t fully understand. ;)

This is a big reason why I love my job lol. Of course you never know what kind of day you’re walking into. Some days can be crazy hectic and you don’t get a chance to yourself. But when it’s a slow shift, it feels like getting paid to do nothing. I love the crapshoot that that is. Though it’s not for everyone, I know plenty of people that hate the workflow/uncertainty aspect.

Yeah you definitely can build a tolerance. I used to think Buldak was pretty spicy (as in so spicy it’s affecting my enjoyment) the first time having it. Now it’s whatever.

Sometimes when my boyfriend and I want a spicy cuisine, I’ll do the online ordering because I’m the one with the non-white name. He’s convinced they tone down the spice levels when they see his name on the order.😂
