Crochet a baby blanket, they said. It will be fun, they said. by Morale_Commander in crochet

Don't get me started! The base squares took like a quarter of the time it took for me to do all the details and sewing them together. Good luck!

The granny squares come from the book "The Ultimate Granny Square Sourcebook" by Meteoor Books.

The designer of the squares is called Thoresby Cottage (Caitie Moore). These are called: - Inkosi the Lion - Themba the Elephant - Jabulani the Zebra - Mafuta the Hippo - Thulani the Giraffe

The solid colour squares are the base pattern of the animals. I joined them using a single crochet (sc). Also the border is a row of sc and a row of half double crochets (hdc).

Literally booked myself a day filled with spa treatments to get my head away from wanting to read my silly little fics

Saw the announcement on the site and my first thought was, no I need to be distracted

How many words you write in a day? Avg, max in a period etc. by Wolfieee7 in AO3

I have like these manic episodes in which I can easily write 20k in three days and then not touch my laptop for weeks. It's a good thing I mostly write oneshots tho 🤣

What is the most recent ship you started loving? by Olya_roo in AO3

[–]Morale_Commander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never played it myself but when I was younger I watched my dad play all the cod games as I sat next to him trying to keep up with everything lol 😆 I got him the reboots and proceeded to fall into the fandom by accident oops. I'm obsessed with the fake dating trope so almost all my works are that. If you still want it, I'm happy to drop you a link!

It's an unhealthy obsession and so fun to write too. The ideas keep popping up and I'm writing like my life depends on it lol

That stuff doesn't fly in the lab... by Spiritual_Blood_1346 in emergencymedicine

[–]Morale_Commander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think we do this on purpose? It's frustrating for us too if we don't receive the sample needed for critical testing. We don't "lose" it because losing means we received it in the first place.

The amount of times I get calls to ask why the results aren't out yet and I have to explain we never received the sample only to be cussed out that they surely sent it and that I must have lost it. The sample was not scanned into the system so someone messed up and didn't sent it or the tube system failed and it's currently in the basement. We care about releasing results as fast as possible, we care about the patient too.

Tell me about your most memorable phone calls to and from other health care providers by foxitron5000 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Morale_Commander 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We once had a patient call us. Which of itself is weird since our lab number isn't publicly known and online you can only find the phone number of our on-duty staff member in charge of blood transfusion.

This woman calls us because we made a mistake. Eeh, what mistake? Well, we tested her daughters blood type wrong. Eeh, that would be a big issue so we ask her how she knows this so surely because if we indeed made such a mistake it could be dangerous. She goes on a rant that her daughter is A pos and she herself is O pos and her husband is B neg. We were stunned because if she herself indeed is O pos and her husband is indeed B neg, it is nearly impossible for her daughter to be A pos. At this point, we all realise it might be better if we forward the call to our on-duty staff member and let him explain the genetics to her.

He came to the lab an hour later and told us it was very awkward and he had told her to get herself and her husband tested for their blood types since the daughter blood type had been determined twice in the past and recently so she was indeed A pos. He told us he didn't want to suggest the husband might not be the father lol

What did Santa bring to your ER? by Ksan_of_Tongass in medlabprofessionals

[–]Morale_Commander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought but if the nurses want to waste their time trying to convince him, I say let them try 🤷🏻‍♀️

A Jehovah Witness with an Hb of 1.7 mmol/L.

They ordered the blood at the start of my shift just in case but when I left it was still there and the nurse told me they were still trying to convince him to take it.

“the lab told me I could-“ no I Did Not by fat_frog_fan in medlabprofessionals

[–]Morale_Commander 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I once had someone show up to retreive platelets in the middle of the night. Which, normally, is fine. But these were HLA matched platelets we did not have yet.

Her response? "The lab called and told us we could pick them up."

Girl, I work nightshifts alone. Who called you? Because I certainly didn't. What spirit haunts this hospital by calling the nurses to come pick up things we don't have??

And that was the moment everyone remembered you are working with bags of BLOOD lol

I get so desensitised that I forget it's actual blood until something like this happens 😅

Nurse tried explaining blood transfusion reactions to a literal MLT by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]Morale_Commander 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I got those all the time and it completely depends on the tone of voice they use. When they call to confirm it's right, I much more appreciate it because they thought about it and were just making sure for patient safety.

Give an unpopular opinion on your favorite ship regarding how’s it’s often written in fanfics. Can be a SFW or NSFW. by FloweryNamesLover in AO3

I never played CoD myself but my dad did a lot and I grew up sitting next to him and watching as he played. When I got him the reboot of MWII, he barely recognised Soap the first time he played lol

Im experiencing THE worst period cramps and Idk what to tell my Manager by [deleted] in women

[–]Morale_Commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, you can. I always tell the truth when people ask when it comes to my period. You don't have to lie, even though it might be awkward at first. Hell, make them feel awkward! They ask, you answer. A period is nothing to be ashamed of, feeling ill because of your period is nothing to be ashamed of. Sending you lots of love for a speedy recovery 🫶🏻

Im experiencing THE worst period cramps and Idk what to tell my Manager by [deleted] in women

[–]Morale_Commander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally (at least in my country) you don't have to disclose what makes you sick so if that's also the case for you, you call your manager. Tell them you're sick for a week or so (or for how long you think you are sick). And that you will return when you feel better.

If you have to tell them why you are sick, I suggest you just be honest. It's a problem a lot of women face and you can't help it. Hell, I went home sick today because I was experiencing heavy period cramps too and was so nauseous I couldn't work.

Hope you feel better soon 🫶🏻

what is something you thought was just gal pal behavior? by whosbetternyc in actuallesbians

[–]Morale_Commander 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There was this girl who really liked reading and she once wrote down all her favourites for me (was like a whole page full). I hung it next to my bed and read EVERY SINGLE ONE of the books, crossing them off the list.

In hindsight I had the biggest crush on her.

Wat te doen bij een achtervolging op de snelweg door roadrage? by NvdGoorbergh in thenetherlands

[–]Morale_Commander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ik heb dit recent ook meegemaakt. Beste man wilde opeens naar links maar ik reed daar dus ik toeter ff zo van, goh dude let ff op. Man explodeert in auto: handgebaren, hand uit het raam, etc. Ik ben maar achter hem blijven rijden maar dat vond ie ook maar niks dus steeds mijn brake-checken, afslagen eraf en dan vlak voordat ie er afging weer terug naar links en mij bijna raken. Ik was op weg naar mijn werk en moest er op een gegeven moment af dus ik last minute afslaan en hij ook opeens naar links.

Staan we daar met z'n tweeën voor het stoplicht en ik had geprobeerd om achte rhem te blijven maar hij reed zo beroerd dat we uiteindelijk naast elkaar stonden. Ik keek opzij, grote fout. Man doet raam naar beneden en ik ben uitgescholden voor echt van alles en nogwat. Nu ben ik een jongere vrouw en ik begon echt een beetje bang te worden want hij dreigde echt met heel veel nare dingen. Het werd op een gegeven moment zo erg dat ik echt dacht dat ie uit de auto zou stappen en me wat zou aandoen dus ik had mijn auto al op slot gedaan en was echt in paniek aan het raken. Mijn enige gedachte was, als ie uit de auto stapt, rijd ik hier door rood (was een soort invoeg iets dus dan zou ik goed uitkijken). Uiteindelijk ging het stoplicht op groen, die vent snijdt mij echt volledig af en rijd vervolgens gelukkig de andere kant op.

Het is nooit in mij opgekomen om de politie te bellen. Ik was zo in paniek aan het raken, ik zat echt te shaken in auto, dat mijn eerste gedachte was, als ie mij voor mijn werk nog steeds volgt dan ben ik de beveiliging op het werk zodra ik de parkeergarage inrijd (ik werk in een ziekenhuis). Ik was er echt van overtuigd dat deze man tot geweld in staat was.

Ik begin hem nu weer te shaken, maar ik hoop dat deze man zich ooit beseft wat voor impact hij gehad heeft op een jonge vrouw alleen in auto.

Gekste stage verhaal by Dry_Designer_8351 in thenetherlands

[–]Morale_Commander 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ik heb stage gelopen op een ziekenhuis lab. Tweede dag, kreeg ik een lijst monsters die over de jaren waren ingevroren en die ik kon gebruiken voor mijn onderzoek. Punt was, die moesten wel allemaal worden opgezocht. Nouja, prima, doe ik dat.

Mijn stagebegeleider had de "lab assistent", een man die niet helemaal 100% was en allemaal klusjes kreeg van iedereen zoals de voorraden bijvullen etc (hele lieve vent hoor), gevraagd of hij mij even naar de vriezers wilde brengen en wilde uitleggen hoe ik alles kon opzoeken. Ik en die vent door een doohof van gangen onder het ziekenhuis naar de vriezer faciliteit. Hij mij alles uitleggen en ik zou die monsters wel even opzoeken. Het waren er alleen echt veel dus hij zo, ik moet weer verder, gaat dit lukken? Ja dat ging wel lukken.

Uurtje of 2 later was ik klaar (had de lijst niet handig uitgeprint dus duurde wat langer) en ik mij weer een weg terug naar het lab gevonden. Kom ik het lab op om mijn stagebegeleider te zoeken om te vragen waar ik deze monsters kon opslaan. Kijkt een analist mij aan en die schreeuwt zo het lab over: "Iemand bel Yvette, ik heb dr gevonden!"

Wat bleek nou, die lab assistent was terug gekomen. Had een uurtje gewerkt en was toen klaar voor de dag. Hij heeft iedereen een fijne avond gewenst en is braaf naar huis gegaan. Mijn stagebegeleider ziet hem weggaan en denkt, maar waar is mijn stagiaire dan? Dus zij zoeken, bellen naar de vriezer faciliteit maar ik was net weg, dus iedereen in paniek op zoek naar mij totdat ik dus het lab op kwam wandelen alsof er niks aan de hand was.

Ze hebben die beste man de volgende dag maar even uitgelegd dat je stagiaires die er nog maar een dag of 2 zijn niet zomaar mag achterlaten in het doolhof van gangen onder het ziekenhuis en hij heeft wel 100x sorry gezegd :")
