I was under direct orders not to die
🐵❌💀

My manager adjusted the schedule at work in case I had minor surgery yesterday so I could have today off and work tomorrow instead. I didn't notice. I stayed 5 hours today anyway, but now I don't get to sleep in tomorrow like I usually do.

I also didn't have my surgery yesterday. So I get to wait some more for that.

I'm tired as poo poo after my shift last night, I have to write like 1400 words of essay by tomorrow evening (I should have started earlier but between work and uni work and being tired as poo poo all the time I didn't), I can barely process the words I'm trying to read and now my back's started aching. Getting real tempted to call in sick for tomorrow and put off a lot of essay until I'm more awake and less miserable.

My old roommate invited me and one of my other friends to dinner tonight after he and his boyfriend got back from Italy. I thought he was gonna ask us to stand up in his wedding, but instead he told us that his boyfriend cheated on him halfway through the trip and he was asking if one of us could let him move in for a week while he sorted his life. This took like 5 martinis for him tobring up, so we''re all pretty drunk. I'm kinda pissed off about this whole thing because I was telling him before the trip not to think that his boyfriend was gonna propose, but I never imagined this. Worst part is I have to see his exboyfriend tomorrow for a work event and all I'm gonna wanna do is punch him in his stupid loving cheating face, but I can't. It's gonna be hard to be the face of the bank when I wanna loving scream at the douchebag that just broke my friend's heart. gently caress that guy. Maybe I'll call in sick. I probably should.

I got called for jury duty and feel unwell about it.

I genuinely like jury duty. But then again my work is such that I don't miss out on anything and get paid in full.

It's a fun little vacation where you get to see the dumbest motherfuckers in town.
Last time I was scheduled for two days, 9-5.

Each day they excused us just after 10 so basically got two days free vacation.

Edit: It double helps that the first time I did it was a murder trial that could have been a movie. That poo poo was WILD.

The time before last I went in for jury duty it was 4 days of PAINFULLY slow selection that took the entire day each time. I thought we were almost done on day 3, as they had picked the jury and all the alternates but then some guy picked earlier realized he wasn't going to be excused so he piped up about some stupid reason he JUST thought of that he shouldn't be selected and absolutely killed all the momentum and extended us into another day. I started out excited to be doing my civic duty, and I was legitimately going insane by the end.

The last time, I was the last person randomly selected for the jury on day 2, and then immediately eliminated by the prosecution using their last veto before I answered a single question. I was loving celebrating all the way home.

In my case I've got a tall stack of mental health issues and I honestly don't believe I can function through the entire process. A lot of the specificities of service are also custom designed to gently caress me over even more. I'm finally getting the ball rolling on getting a proper diagnosis for all this poo poo, and as a bonus maybe I'll start feeling better too.

Was sick yesterday and husband wasn't feeling well. Decided to sleep on it, didn't get much sleep for worrying.
Today, husband felt worse to the point of taking him to the ER. I have a huge fear of hospitals, so between my anxiety and my worrying about him, I gave myself a massive headache, and have been painfully constipated. Then, when we came home, cat pooped in the middle of the hallway, because why not.

If your piss or poo poo is bright red it’s very serious and you HAVE to go to a doctor.

If it’s just diarrhea just take some pesto bismol.

Women know when it’s period blood red and can tell the difference if it’s something else. Women like, know their bodies.

Also, period red blood lasts for like, a day or two, and only if you’re using pads. The more you know :eng101:


Another consideration is that you could have eaten beets. One time I went to a Russian party and ate a ton of beet salad, forgot I ate it when the next day I was peeing crazy red and I was freaking out until I remembered... beets.

My new promotion kicks in next week just as I'm going on vacation. I've been getting run ragged with all the new responsibilities and expectations that they've been throwing my way. I significantly underestimated the sheer amount of pressure and competition (not just outside of my firm, but within it as well) this position has. It's been a couple of weeks and it feels like I'm trying to drink from the fire hose between learning all the new information, reaching out to an entirely new book of business, and my own peers lunging into my book trying to tear people away before I even get to talk to them.

Bringing it up brought laughs from my upper management and a "welcome to the big leagues" attitude. A few of the other people that do my job took me out to celebrate this Saturday and let me know that this is just how it is. I know I can do this job, but I have a feeling it's gonna keep me up at night and I'm gonna be taking things home with me, which I honestly haven't done in years.

My first check from the new position hits in 2 months. It better be worth it.

I have a nasty cold with a sore throat and I'm going to be around sick people at work tonight. I should call out, but I already have too many call-outs in the last year (despite ample PTO), and the Shift Supervisor is a bitch on-toast who scares my toughest co-workers including my bosses. This is the same woman who told me to "get over" my dead dog when I called-out two nights in a row after euthanizing her. It's a no-win situation, and the patients I'm going to be around are the ones who will pay the price.

Not really. Any nosocomial infections would be impossible tie to me definitively.

I am capable of the work. I just shouldn't be doing it. A dirty secret in hospitals is that you're expected to show up unless you're actively dying... And even then when I actually was actively dying they gave me poo poo. I've seen people working with 103 fevers and vommiting.

The night has been ok, just unpleasant. We have full staff and good people, but I've had to literally grapple and subdue multiple dementia patients in between coughing up green sludge. I will sleep like the dead.

Hey, at least in Burn when we even have the slightest sniffle they send us home. Even to the point of floating peds nurses up to burn to cover the floor when a burn nurse stays home. Something about most of our patients having square feet of missing skin/open wounds.

Makes it impossible to build PTO, though, as you're always using it :argh:.

I missed an exam because I don't like attending the lectures and they finished the study packets early.

Kind of my fault but the guy who teaches it is this like 70 year old man who cannot stop comparing literally everything to sex. He can't even mention the climax of a forest without talking about orgasms or Charles Manson? For some reason? It's super uncomfy.

Thankfully another professor is like "hey I teach that class come to mine next year" so that's cool.

You need to let the school know that this is happening, if he's making you too uncomfortable to attend class because of sexual remarks that is super not okay. If he's making you feel that way for sure you're not the only one.

e: even if the school sucks and does nothing about him you should at least be able to get withdrawn from the class, don't take a lovely grade cause the professor is a creep
