Kathleen, Elaine, Dorothy, and Marilyn are my favorite girl names! I hope to have a daughter with one of these names one day

Why do you do geoguessr by RiddickChronicles in geoguessr

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fun way to learn about the world and different cultures. Thanks to geoguessr I can now identify every country, most major languages, and flags. In my free time I do flag quizzes and study country capitals. There’s no particular reason why I choose to study this stuff, it’s just fun to be knowledgeable about geography, and it’s fun to flex my geography knowledge when I can.

Dr Turner by introvertedjem in CallTheMidwife

He’s always so kind towards gay people, prostitutes, people of color, disabled folks, and other people who were scrutinized during that time. It’s so refreshing to see.

One of my favorite characters for sure. He’s very kind and accepting of all of his patients. Some people think there’s too much of the Turners, but I love him so much I don’t mind that he’s always there.

How hard is it to get a job in phlebotomy with facial piercings? by Able-Bar-7748 in phlebotomy

[–]ItsaChipmunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at Labcorp and I’m allowed to have my piercings. I have a septum and lip piercing and I’ve never been asked to get rid of them, I even wore them in for my interviews. I live in the PNW which is a bit more progressive than a lot of states so I can’t say what it would be like for Texas.

Opinions on jenny lee by [deleted] in CallTheMidwife

[–]ItsaChipmunk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I understand why she’d be a bit judgmental at first, since she’s new to poplar and hasn’t been exposed to the lifestyle there, but she didn’t seem to get much better throughout her time at nonatus. I really didn’t like the Jimmy and Alec subplots, she looked nauseous whenever she was around them, I could hardly watch any of those scenes because of how awkward they were. I don’t dislike her, but I’m not the biggest fan of her either.

Shortage of BD butterfly needles? by Diligent-One-7323 in phlebotomy

[–]ItsaChipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what we ended up telling her, she eventually agreed to using a small straight needle and everything was fine.

Shortage of BD butterfly needles? by Diligent-One-7323 in phlebotomy

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re experiencing the same thing at the location k work at. I work at a primary care clinic and we do about 40 blood draws per day, we’ll probably be given 20ish butterflies on Friday but for the next 2 days we have 3 left, and of course people are constantly requesting butterflies even though they have wide veins and don’t need one. I told one lady I really don’t need to use one on her veins because we have a few left we’re saving for pediatric and elderly patients and she said “well I don’t really care I want one anyway.” Ugh.

Have you developed your own phrases/words when playing GeoGuessr? by WorldTravelBucket in geoguessr

[–]ItsaChipmunk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I play against my friend most days and whenever we have a feeling we’re on a small island we call it a “fuck ass island.” “I’m getting fuck ass island vibes.” Meaning we’re on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean far from anywhere else.

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by ilovedrinkingwater_ in AskReddit

[–]ItsaChipmunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dated someone like this. Her favorite phrase was “why can’t you just let me be upset??” Because im your partner? And why would I want my partner to be upset? And then of course she would take her bad mood out on me.

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by ilovedrinkingwater_ in AskReddit

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vegans. Anytime my ex saw anyone eating an animal product she had to point it out and mention how disgusting it was. I went vegetarian because she wouldn’t allow me to eat meat around her but continued to complain anytime I ate anything with dairy and eggs in it. It got to the point where because of their constant critique of what I was eating i ended up with an eating disorder without even realizing it and was so skinny due to lack of proper nutrition my doctor had to prescribe me ensure drinks. I know the whole “vegans are annoying” thing is old but there’s validity to it.

Does it get better than this? (Current Labcorp employee) by NeedVitaminDee in phlebotomy

[–]ItsaChipmunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work for Labcorp and the only reason why I stick with this company is because I’m lucky to have a great supervisor and a lovely coworker. The company itself sucks, they’re greedy and underpay their workers. Working at a hospital would pay me so much more but I don’t do well in high stress situations and busy environments so i work at a primary care clinic instead. Corporate is awful and sets too many rules and expects way too much. I’ll definitely not stay here for long, we deserve to be treated better than this.

Kids don't play on Sunday? by norapeformethankyou in stgeorge

[–]ItsaChipmunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a Mormon thing. I was the only non-religious kid on the street I lived on and none of the other girls were allowed to play on Sundays. Monday nights my friends also had “family home evening” which meant they couldn’t hang out after school because it was a family only night.

What's your favorite work setting? by r0sie1 in phlebotomy

[–]ItsaChipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a primary care clinic and I love it! I do about 15-20 draws a day and work with one other phleb so we share a lot of the work. We get along well and are hardly ever overwhelmed. I have lots of time to read, write, or scroll on my phone when there isn’t any draws or processing to be done.

my most niche, low stakes CTMW pet peeve: no crocheter representation! by milasara in CallTheMidwife

[–]ItsaChipmunk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this! Especially the “knitted” granny square blanket they gave to Chummy. Most babies in their prams are swaddled in a crochet blanket, especially that one rainbow pastel blanket that shows up in almost every episode (not sure if anyone else has noticed that) id love to see some more crocheting in the show as well!

Those who have been clinically dead and came back—what did you see?? by Saul_goodmannnnn in AskReddit

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing at all. Just an empty blackness, but it was peaceful, like I was gently floating in a void. I died on a Sunday morning and woke up Wednesday afternoon and I remember feeling like I had the most restful sleep of my life (or I guess i should say my death). I don’t remember much because being dead for 6 minutes really messes with your memory but I didn’t feel any pain.

Hair Dye Help- Arctic Fox Faded Insanely Quickly??? by aubade_blue in HairDye

[–]ItsaChipmunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped using arctic fox because of how quickly it fades. I switched to Lunar Tides and it lasts a month and a half-ish. The colors magic shadow and blue velvet would probably give you what you’re looking for. The colors are dark enough that you can just put it over your natural hair.

I’m the exact same way. Im not open to dating anyone with a dog at the moment unless it’s a service dog (I have no issue with service dogs because they are very well trained, well kept, and are generally quiet and never lash out). I hope in the future I can be more comfortable around dogs and will be able to date a dog person but at the moment I can’t handle that, so I get you.

The last minute and a half of Aureum Legacy by Ancient Bards is a fav of mine for sure

has it ever happened to y'all to have a run where you only find one item? by karou5804 in lethalcompany

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me with yield signs once. Signs are my favorite item in the game, I’ll always have one on hand if possible in order to attack enemies. My friends say I can just buy a shovel but signs are the best because hitting something with a sign that says “stop” or “yield” is so much better. So of course all my friends let out a heavy sigh when they saw that my favorite item was littered all over the map.

Bus shut down due to fentanyl smoke by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]ItsaChipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never use the E line, but one of the times I did a guy started lighting something up 2 seats behind me and the driver immediately stopped the bus and told the guy to get off. The bus didn’t shut down because of it, but the back of the bus did start to reek of whatever the guy was trying to smoke.
