You are in the presence of a legend

Gotta get that "Legendary" status

Using whole numbers can be easier when estimating

Rebirth of a community right here

I'm a nurse working in a large hospital. I did ICU nursing for almost 8 years, and now I'm a "float pool" nurse... which means they send me to whatever unit needs help that shift (Except pediatrics. That's not my gig, and our pediatrics has a separate Children's Hospital anyway).

Every day is a new adventure. I might be working in one of the ICU's (Neuro, Cardiac, Surgical, Medical), or I could be on any of the other floor units (Med-Surg and such). Currently on a Nephrology unit, cursing the fact that I scheduled myself to work the night that time rolls back an hour. So it'll be a little over a 13 hour shift tonight :(

But it's hard to say what a typical day looks like. Lots of charting, time management, monitoring, and critical thinking... as well as the physical aspect of patient care. It's definitely interesting and I love it. But it can also be draining (physically, mentally, and emotionally), so ya gotta make sure to maintain your own balance too

Never enough

My wife and I both use the "thumbs down" method. It's funniest when we're both doing it to some ass-hat, while riding together.

It often de-escalates the person though, as if they don't know how to respond. They usually just make angry gestures and mutter (probably obscenities) to themselves, but their rage usually chills out a bit. It's almost like you make them aware of how childish they're acting

I started watching Star Trek solely because of the memes here, and it turned out that I really liked it... and then my wife joined me after just a few episodes of TOS. Turns out we both really like it and now have a plethora of great sci-fi to watch together

We've watched TOS, TNG, and now we're about halfway through season 1 of Voyager. Plus several movies in-between. The memes converted us lol

Hey, congratulations! We just made nine years over here too

First I've heard of this. "Better to keep your mouth shut and seem stupid — rather than open it and remove all doubt". Elon really is a massive dipshit

They're still in use at most banks where I live. Most hospitals use them too; way faster than dumbwaiters

Damn, I haven't thought about those in a long time
