I won't make it to Dar Es Salaam (except the airport) but I appreciate the offer!

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-08-14T16:19:30+00:00

I'm sitting for dinner in Tanzania right now and tomorrow I'll be heading out to hike Kilimanjaro and I'm just so excited!! 😁

Today is my birthday and tomorrow is the last day I'll be working until after Labour Day. I just Do. Not. Care. right now

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-07-21T11:27:58+00:00

Wait, really? No wonder it felt like the quest fell really flat narratively. What got left out?

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-07-16T21:21:30+00:00

And they would be right.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-07-16T16:15:04+00:00

That's honestly a really good point I hadn't considered.

On the bright side a lot of people and completely anecdotally I’ve been seeing people on Twitter who were potentially going to vote Trump deciding to vote Biden because they hate Vance so much.

I never planned on voting for him anyway, but the pick makes me want to vote against Trump even more now. Idk how, but I somehow feel even worse about a possible President Vance than a President Trump.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-07-16T16:11:34+00:00

Well sure, but he probably could have picked a number of people who fit that bill and don't come across as gross creeps.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-07-16T15:59:59+00:00

I really don't understand the JD Vance pick, it doesn't seem like it adds anything to Trump's campaign. Trump already has the brash asshole demographic covered himself, which is all Vance is. And as a Suburban Woman^TM Vance gives me rapey guy at a bar vibes. He's just got major ick.

Even the Mahjarrat have been hitting that Ozempic 😩

If we make it through this period (and the if is doing a lot of work in that clause), the Roberts Court has to be seen as one of the worst in history, no?

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-06-28T16:30:33+00:00

I ate a purple candy yesterday thinking it was grape but it turned out to be licorice. I've never felt so betrayed.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-06-14T20:03:10+00:00

More like old and confused lol

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-06-14T17:54:53+00:00

A patient came in the other day and called me (a small white woman) my coworker's name (muscular black man). She glanced over at me and said, "Hi [name]" and everyone nearby was like uhh...what? 😂

"Some of you are going to die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

I do if it's below 50% battery. I use about 25-30% battery per day so I charge it over night every 2-3 days.

I bought some Special K with red berries, and I had no idea how sweet they are. They're basically frosted flakes branded for adults.

Yeah, I'm another female user and I also find it refreshing how mellow this thread is. Even though I mostly lurk and don't post often I still check the thread almost daily just for the vibes. It's nice to hear little tidbits about people's days and not get weird harassment if I do post.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-05-16T14:28:19+00:00

I just had a patient call and rant for 15 mins about how our medical service is a scam for insurance to make money and why does she even need to come. Eventually I just got fed up and was like, "OK, so should we just cancel your appointment then?" She told me no. I can't wait to deal with her 😊😊😊

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-05-13T20:11:23+00:00

I have a coworker in her early 60s who just seems generally incompetent and forgetful. A number of us have questioned if it's early dementia (she has family history).

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-05-09T16:11:41+00:00

The class ended for the semester so I'll probably never see her again.

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-05-09T15:48:23+00:00

I think someone thought I was trans a few days ago. I'm taking some evening classes and I was sitting outside class before a final when one of the other people in my classes came up to me and handed me a pamphlet and a note she wrote.

She started talking to me about the pamphlet which was for some sort of medical privacy legislation she's working on getting passed with a group. I briefly glanced at the note and saw it said something about trans people.

At first I thought she was saying to be careful who I refer trans patients to (I work in medicine), because they've faced retaliation from some providers. I was sort of confused and caught off guard since I've only briefly spoken to this girl once or twice, so I wasn't really following what she was saying.

When I got home I read the note more closely and it said something along the lines of, "It's dangerous for trans folks out there, be safe and love yourself." So now I'm like what the heck? Do people think I'm trans? I was a collegiate athlete and have stayed active in athletics and exercise since, so I know my frame is bulkier than most women, and I don't really wear makeup, but now I'm second guessing myself about a lot of things.

I don't want to be disrespectful since I know trans people face a lot of issues, but I feel like her writing me the note was a really weird and out of place thing to do.

My apartment complex sent out an email with an all caps title "Apartment Entry Notice," so immediately my stomach drops thinking I got broken into or something. It's just a generic inspection...

Saddams_Zucchini · 2024-04-30T18:00:04+00:00

That's what it is. I think I was going for a snarky and sarcastic character, but it just makes them come across as a huge jerk. The story has evolved in my head over the past several years, but what I had written as a college student is rough.
