I work with a lot of nurses, and a number of the guys are pretty up front about the fact that it's a great career if you're looking for casual encounters. Yes, a lot of nurses (men included) are stupid and annoying, but if you have a decent tolerance for drama, it's a happy hunting ground. Plus, most of the hospitals around here have some serious talent roaming the halls.

My nursing school class had a total of 80 people in it. 11 of them were males.

Most of nursing school was a massive gossip/drama fest, with their own little clicks and the "popular" girls were all the one's who wanted to work in like, OB or pediatrics/NICU. Baby fever was rampant as if I can recall nearly every single of the women who wanted to go into those fields ended up preggo the first year out of school

There were a very, very very few percentage of women in the class that were fun to hang out with outside of class.

Myself a national guard medic and one other prior service marine reservist were the only vets in the group. I ended up drinking on the regular during nursing school and getting by with no issues, while a lot of the girls struggled like no tomorrow.

6/10 experience would maybe nursing school again.

She's the charge nurse in an oncology ward. How the gently caress she keeps her disposition while surrounded by people dying horribly and slowly I'll never understand.

Hospice care nurses have it the worse, but get paid well for working hospice care.

Book chat:
Finally read M John Harrison's Storm of Wings, which was a followup to his The Pastel City . Good book, cool ideas, Fear death from the air.
M John Harrison's 1st book The Commited Men was exceptional, read it three weeks ago, and it retroactively made Ken MacLeod less cool.

Kampus is still my favorite bizzare book. Published @1977, it is about college campuses in the far off future of 1984.
College campuses are now barricaded like Escape from New York's Manhattan Island to keep the uncontrollable student body in. College teachers are bussed/tanked/coptered into college campuses like VIPs & have riot police protection details, while onsite college adminstrative staff are Disney animatronic robots (that are constantly beaten/mugged/possibly raped). The main character in Kampus becomes obsessed with a Cool college professor, and abducts his Cool college professor obsession, kills his Cool college professor obsession, then eats the flesh & drinks the blood of his obsession to absorb his knowledge, like Stranger in a Strange Land. The main character gets kicked out of college really quick after that, and spends the rest of the book touring the USA actively ruining the lives of everyone he encounters.

By itself Kampus is utter garbage. Once you find out the author, James E Gunn*, was a college professor when the book was written**, Kampus becomes amazing.
Like, was James Gunn disappointed when none of his students even tried to abduct him?
Did James Gunn reserve his A++ for students that tried to eat his flesh/drink his blood?
Did James Gunn acknowledge Kampus during his lectures/how frequently did Kampus get namedropped if he did?


*not the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies
**The dude has been a college professor for over 60 years, and is currently 94 years old. He is still writing, and just got a surprisingly decent scifi series published. Actually change that to amazingly decent scifi series, dude is 94 years old after all.

My mother in law was an ER nurse in Detroit back when that city was approaching Mad Max levels of violence and insanity. She has some hosed up stories.

That's not a police model tire hugger. That's probably mall security somewhere. Cops have enough noney to get ones that cover the lug nuts so you can't just change the tire.

i think the worst part about dating or being married to a nursing student/nurse would be a toss up between the below:
-constantly hearing about how overworked they are
-constantly hearing about how doctors dont do anything and are actually stupid

both of the above may be true but i'd want to blow my brains out if thats what i heard about every loving day.

Amazon really hosed with their search engine, in a bad way, to feature more non search related items.
I guess that's how Amazon is underwriting the Whole Foods buyout, quasi-relevant seller featured items for everyone ala Google sponsored ads.
Happy that my Prime membership ends in November, won't renew it.

It's been 2 months, has everyone stopped using the amazing meat smokers that everyone was giving advice on/gushing about?
Beercan chicken cooking uually has good results, can't remember if anyone else recommended it.

Amazon's search engine has been hosed in all sorts of awful ways for a long time. The one that really gets me is that when you sort by item rating you get hundreds of spam listings with a tiny number of fake 5-star ratings. There's no way to sort by both rating and popularity in order to cut out the fake nonsense.

Also in a lot of Amazon Video categories you can't search by rating, only release date. It's insane.

I've been trying to spread my buying habits around a little more, Amazon has been making me feel really uncomfortable lately, between the push on Echo and Alexa stuff and the Whole Foods thing, I think they are getting a little more gross.

Although the prices are Whole Foods are a lot better than they were before...
