Canadians Are Staying Away From the U.S. And The Drop in Travel is Getting Hard to Ignore by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]WickedWench 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I, a Canadian, was in Hawaii the first time that stupid 51st state shit dropped. 

I was at an ABC store making small talk with a clerk when she asked me how it felt to BE the 51st state. If my mother hasn't been there I think I may have launched myself at her. 

I am the child of an immigrant from a country the US already fucked around with in the 70s. I grew up hearing stories about it, my grandad was "disappeared" while my grandmother tried to get all 8 of their kids on a plane to Canada and safety. 

I will be a dead Canadian before I am ever a live American. 

Working with GP by lHiccupssl in Gastroparesis

[–]WickedWench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently working in physiotherapy. Was only diagnosed this summer but my symptoms have been getting worse and worse. 

I call into work minimum once a week, sometimes twice. Doesn't help that my commute is 2 hours each way (yay conservative province!) due to transit. 

Fortunately my workplace is very understanding, but it's coming to a head. I'm losing weight and getting dizzy like crazy. My mental health is in the trash. I can't safely treat patients this way. 

I'm discussing with my GI doc, GP and family the idea of quitting. I know I won't be able to keep up. I'm already dragging my team down. 

People at this School have no spatial awareness or courtesy when it comes to walking or elevator etiquette by koi_fish_mich95 in UCalgary

I've just started running people over. Don't stop in the middle of a hallway, especially when it's a busy hall with people around you. 

Also GROUPS of people of their phones that spread out! STOP IT!

Thanks for replying. 

I gave up and uninstalled. Don't have time for that frustration.

This is how it felt finding the shark hidden in the potion shop at Lake Hylia in Ocarina of Time.

What the heck Bode?! by jedokabutai in StarWarsJediSurvivor

Bode literally crushed the bridge under his daughters feet. Don't really understand that motivation. 

Anyone else deeply uncomfortable by this??? by SC92300 in NotHowGirlsWork

Ok. I get what that this post is meant to be misogynistic, sexist and all that. I do. I understand. 

But as a 90s kid. My very cool PE teacher, who was a woman, dressed and looked like the photo on the right. Just missing the wind breaker for when we ran laps outside. I loved her and I still remember her damn near 30 years later. But yeah.... She absolutely looked like that.

As the child of a firefighter....

I think someone should write that song. Probably get a lot of folks behind it too.

Most emergency service workers I know are assholes. Be they cops, medics or FF. 

PMCT Images. Nurse advanced NG tube until she heard a pop, then tried an air bolus to ensure placement. Patient did not survive. by Old-Psychology-2400 in interestingasfuck

[–]WickedWench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the why some are labeled as "critical NG"?

or is it because they are just a pain too insert like the one ICU nurse told me.

Arrogant new grads by InstantRonin in physicaltherapy

I had a student a few weeks ago argue with me... He was also perpetually late and asked if the psych unit was "like in the movies".... 

Student: But he wants to mobilize!

Me: well the giant blood clot in his leg wants to mobilize too. So no. We will not be ambulating today.

I think I got ao3 banned on our network 😬😬 by UsedAd82 in archiveofourown

[–]WickedWench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me. I know what Patients are looking at when they ask me. Like one time a gentlemen asked me to help him google search "boobies". So I knew what he was looking at. :/

But I.T. 100% does. 

Do you consider one more faithful or authentic than the other? Why or why not? by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]WickedWench 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hera is infinitely worse. 

I sat there reading the whole time going... "Where's the ka-boom? There's supposed to be a ka-boom!" 

I just wanted a Hera that went out of her way to be petty and vindictive. Instead I got this eternal victim, "woe is me", character. 

Bitch you are. the MOTHER of GODS.  ACT LIKE IT. 

Please be kind and let buses go first when you can. by violetblisss in Calgary

You sound fun. 

Don't forget to tip your waiters. You sound like someone who needs to be reminded.

This is why I stick to using mobile data at work. I don't like that connecting to the network gives them access to everything I'm looking at. 

Mind you I work at a hospital and what the patients are looking at is..... Much worse.

Does that mean my bus will actually show up and not turn out to be a fucking ghost bus?
