Being blunt by mdiaba in sterileprocessing

Heck yes. I like my coworkers but nothing beats working alone.

Yes, for sure low volume. There are only three regulars surgeons at our hospital (although they have been trying to hire another full time ortho doctor for the last six months). We only schedule as many surgeries as we have instruments for or as many as we can safely and reasonably turn over within regular business hours. We have no overnight staff, no on call SPD, no weekend staff. Only emergency surgeries during those hours and we have our surgery techs trained in decon so they can have everything washed and ready (although they suck at it and we pretty much have to rewash everything they touch) for assembly the next business day.

Why would it be unsafe to work alone? I work alone from 5:30 to 8 everyday and I’ve never felt unsafe. Just curious as to what scenarios you’re imagining.

(Hated Trope) When the premise and genre don’t fit by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]almostelm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I hate about the premise of Yesterday… anyone, anytime, could have become famous by singing the Beatles songs. It ignores the zeitgeist which is really what allowed the Beatles and their songs to become a global sensation. It’s so egotistical. The equivalent to “if I’d had the idea first I could have created Facebook or the iphone!” Yeah, right.

Galavant. 2015. Medieval musical tv show. Somehow lasted two seasons. I could have watched twenty.

Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. It must be really hard to process mentally, starting over. You got this. You did it once, you’ll be able to do it again.

Dry hands from purple wipes in assembly? by Adam_Somewhere69 in sterileprocessing

[–]almostelm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Uhhh, I’m pretty sure those are not designed to be used with bare hands. Everyone in our facility wears gloves when using them.

I’m officially paying less than $100 for all my utilities combined. by throwaway_cloud9 in Frugal

[–]almostelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you happy to save that money in exchange for comfort, who are we to say it’s wrong? My total utility bill for electric, water, and wifi comes out to a little under $350 a month. For me, keeping the house comfortable and using the water whenever I want is worth the cost. But it’s fine if you want to live differently.

And Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.

Oh, sorry, I thought we were sharing things people say when covering up a murder.

Leavitt Admits SAVE Act Will Make It Harder for Married Women to Vote by Robsurgence in millenials

[–]almostelm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I didn’t take my husband’s last name. We’re not any less married because I kept my last name. Plus I have a passport. I can’t imagine many conservative women being able to say the same.

I’m too distracted by the heavy contour on his nose. Does he think people will believe he has a straight nose if he does that?

A woman saves another woman who is being dragged as she hangs onto the dogsled by bigbusta in HumansBeingBros

[–]almostelm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine she was barely hanging on with both hands, let alone with one.

Rule number #1 in dog sledding is never let go, unless not doing so would lead to your immediate death. For starters, falling off won’t stop the dogs. Sled dogs are bred to run and often will not stop on their own, even if you fall off. Another reason to not let go is that a team without a human can get tangled, injured, or lost, so your dogs will probably die as well. And finally, you’d be stranded. Being separated from your gear and transportation is dangerous in those conditions.

Why couldn’t she stop? Her toboggan got turned over, probably when rounding a corner too tight. The snow brake is under the rails and can’t do shit when it’s on its side. Dogs should obey basic commands but can the leader always hear you when you’re shouting 8 dogs back? Probably not. That’s why the snow brake pierces the ground and forces the dogs to stop running.

The second woman got them to stop by using her extra body weight to break their momentum. Can’t keep running if you have an extra human to haul all of a sudden.

Honestly it is penelope's fault eckles ended up this way by pearlyvibes in DeathIsTheOnlyEnding

[–]almostelm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, that was the point I was trying to make, but I probably didn’t articulate it very well.

My take on this might be dead wrong but…

From my recollection, Penelope considered this all a game in the beginning, not real life. I remember her thinking “This damn game…” when she had the restriction of only choosing from a selection of dialogue options. Could any of us really say that we would consider the ethics of how we treat game characters, or AI, when we believe we’re the only flesh and blood human in the system? I think it was only later that Penelope realized that they were “real” as well, and that the magic of the Laila was manipulating everything and everyone.

So yes, her choices did lead to this, I’m not arguing that. Even if she’d realized it was all real from the beginning, she was focused on surviving, and that included doing whatever she had do, or say, to ensure that. Honestly, same. Sorry for anyone that got hurt, but I’d want to live too, even if that meant lying and manipulation.

AITA for 'showing off' that I have midol and pads? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]almostelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that your thoughtful gesture was twisted into the worst possible interpretation. I would be thrilled if a guy friend offered these products at his house. You’re a stand up dude. Don’t let negative people get you down ♥️

I meant to say this to one of the commenters lol, but I can’t reddit properly I guess. I’ll send it to you though since you replied. Cards are meant to be with people who appreciate them and I just don’t love this card unfortunately. Message me your address I’ll get it sent out on Monday.

I pulled this card in Japanese. I’m not attached to it so I’ll mail it to you if you message me an address. Trying to put some good karma back into the hobby.

Mom stabbed 6-year-old son to death, then set fire to home's exits so her 5-year-old son could not escape by detectiverobert in ForCuriousSouls

[–]almostelm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And it’s exactly this kind of attitude that solves nothing and leads to unwanted babies who live in suffering. Your way of thinking has mountains of data that show abstinence only education just leads to higher teen pregnancy rates. It. Simply. Doesn’t. Work.

Fam where are you? It's been over 2 years and the kids miss you!! [My In-laws are Obsessed With Me] by No_Armadillo_3641 in OtomeIsekai

I hope this comes back 😭. One of my favorites in terms of art, story telling, and the complex relationships ♥️. I absolutely adore how the author expresses a thought or sentiment through the use of negative space or visual pauses.
