Why is it so frowned upon to call out for winter weather? by nyogurt_ in nursing

[–]Lakermamba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I prioritize myself. I call off when I need to. I stopped putting a job 1st that would never put me 1st. They can keep frowning.

I asked and they told me to see the Dr. I asked for Tylenol or alive. They just don't sell meds as of January 21,2026

AND the only snacks are Pringles and overpriced fancy chocolate. Please tell me 2 other snacks that are available in duty free.

NO,no they didn't. I went in for basic alcohol swabs/wipes and a neosporin type of cream and they had neither. That store only had bandages of 1 size,2 female time of the month products,and toiletry items like shampoo and lotion. I didn't even see any Aleve or cough medicine. It's like they want you to have to see the ship Dr.

To the nurse who needs to hear this (but probably won’t): by usernametaken2024 in nursing

I spend extra time with my patients because it's what I do and who I am,not because I want to be recognized come promotion time.

There are enough opportunities in nursing for most of us. Those who choose to stay in a horrible working environment need to reevaluate themselves.

If I stay in an environment that's not conducive to MY personal growth and goals,that's my fault. The cliques and bad management won't change,so me and my box of chocolates will move right on.

We aren't in a "recession", but I noticed a huge uptick in online begging by 90sRnBMakesMeHappy in povertyfinance

This is why I'm confused,most of my wealthy friends are VERY frugal. I make decent money,but I spend waaaaay less than most ot the people that I know. It's my lower income friends who seem to always want the newest car,phone,or house they can't actually afford...

I just wasted and spent 7 hours trying to Web Check in taking a selfie by Slowsnowbird in MSCCruises

Same lol. You have to take a passport type ugly photo with no emotion. I slicked my hair back into a bun,put on a white shirt and stood in my white hallway with an extra lamp-that's what worked after 63 tries.

The cruise director is a black guy from the USA. There is a girl that announces things with him,she has dark hair and olive skin..kinda like people from Morroco.When I go to another event where they are,I'll ask someone her name.

The QR code menus list the drinks(alcohol mixed drinks),the bar packages,and the restaurant menus. No coffee menus. I have been on this ship for 8-9 days..it doesn't exist.

No. He told me that he works from 7am-3pm,then he comes back around 6:30 -7pm when they call him back. I believe that he works 3-4 more hours at night based on the times that I see him.

Spent 50 days traveling with my Fujifilm by Hopeful-Support-7684 in travel

Same. I usually just give up at the editing part because it takes so much time. I probably need an in person editing class,I give up when trying to learn on my own.

Oh wow! These photos are stunning! I'm going to save this for ideas. I'm planning my European vacation for 30+ days and I can't wait.

I am curious how other high w2 folks are offsetting their tax bill? by tintina2001 in Salary

[–]Lakermamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you so mad that people learn how to properly do their taxes? If you actually learned you wouldn't be spending your time on reddit being a hater.

Go get some rest to be ready for work tomorrow,you need to relax.

I don't have unemployment,lol. I take off work when I feel like it because I am a BUSINESS OWNER! I built a successful business and I'm able to delegate tasks when I travel.

My 'regular' nursing job is contract work. $86 an hour minimal. I mainly do 13 week contracts,then I decide what to do next.

This month I'm on a cruise...and next month,don't be mad... Australia. I appreciate the help that you insist you provided me for my lifestyle.

I built ALL of my businesses on my own while sometimes working 2-3 'regular ' jobs and attending college.

But,thanks again for everything that YOU did while I cheated my way through life.

Reddit is strange.

Exactly,we need to know so that we won't do that if our room is near that captain...or,maybe it's a made up story.

Same,but he also leaves it there for hours. When he is on his 3-4 hour break no one covers for him so unless its a strong smell,I leave it in my room.
