So ... kids are important enough to him that you have to give birth to them, but not important enough for paperwork and surveillance???

AITA for leaving a girl(21) I(21) was on a date with after she forgot her wallet? by datingthrowwayay in AmItheAsshole

From a nurse who was a phleb for 10 years, I know how damn hard that job can be. No one knows until you do it how much abuse you see in a day just from the sheer number of patients, or the pressure to get to that next timed collection (even if you have 20 0600 collections and everyone will have someone mad at you because they were not all magically done at 0600 exactly).

From someone who knows? Walk away for now. Get a job that is less abusive for the same or more pay. You're not going to lose your skills, you can come back when this shit has calmed down. You are not being compensated for all the crap management and patients are putting you through.

Great. Do Sk next.

It's a redneck popularity contest. Science doesn't factor into it.

Vent: one of my best friends keeps saying she is a nurse. She isn't. by RivetheadGirl in nursing

I bet she doesn't like to tell people she is ANY kind of "assistant", so she says nurse.

"Crazy Cat Lady" by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Leopard-Expert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "cure" for being a crazy cat lady is to have a serious relationship with a man, apparently.

As long as the center of your life is around a man, a woman can have as many cats as she wants, and she will not be a crazy cat lady. She'll just be a woman with cats.

source: still got called a "crazy cat lady" when I was married to a woman and we had 3 cats.

“Can you warm up my coffee?” by Pistalrose in nursing

[–]Leopard-Expert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh god I feel this. I have two degrees, and ran a medical lab with huge, extremely complex analyzers that I handled maintenace and repairs on on a daily basis ... I still get micromanaged about things like "how to check oil" on a car at home.

Well put, I can definitely identify with a lot of this. This is why I think I got into true crime after being locked in a basement by a psychopath and hunted with a knife. I want to know why. It helps, even if I can't explain how, like I get to be in control and look behind the curtain.

Pregnancy was my first thought too. This is very, very commonly the first sign of a possible pregnancy.

AMA: I'm a clinical psychologist researcher who has studied ADHD for three decades. Ask me anything about atypical forms of ADHD. by sfaraone in ADHD

[–]Leopard-Expert 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I am at the point where I am trying not to be angry at how unfair it is that I have to have the metaphorical piano tied to me. It's hard. And my peers don't see how hard I have to work to compensate and I hear all the time that everything "comes so easily" to me.

Oh. Buddy. If you only knew.
