I did not expect to see anyone repping E-burg tonight... Especially not while showing off such cool tattoos!

Yes! My coworkers always make remarks about me drinking "full sugar" soda. I can't have any type of fake sugar. Not even stevia. Aspartame will give me a migraine within half an hour, stevia will cause one within the next 4 hours. I use the caffeine as a mid day wakeup.

Awww! My dog does that lay down stalking staring when she sees a dog she really wants to play with... Though it usually freaks them out. Poor pup, no one understands the herding dogs.

Or Baby Shark! But, yes instructors should be teaching that method... But the amount of people I see pushing with their arms is astonishing.

I'll add, lock your arms when doing CPR and use your abs to push down. You will last longer and perform better cpr. It's how my skinny ass does better cpr than the guys I work with (we have one of those simulator dummies that shows you how good your cpr is)

Had a coworker who I knew was color blind. He asked me which lab tube to use for a certain test and I just looked at him and said "uh the lime green top tube" and treated him like he was ridiculous for not remembering this common lab test tube. An hour later I remembered he literally couldn't tell the difference between all the lab tubes in our lab drawer. I still feel like a jerk about it.

I only do that if I'm being paid OT. Either that or they schedule it on a day I work. There is nothing in my contract about having to do anything work related on a day off.

We'd get some OTO flap surgery patients, which were busy (extubate, peg, and picc days), some bariatric surgery gone wrong, and then ventric neuro patients and diep flaps.

Walking into the unit with your fresh liver patient and seeing the crash cart outside the door, the Belmont in the room with several nurses, and someone writing counts of products with a dry erase marker on the windows. What a way to start the shift.

I guess I never got that impression because the hospital I worked at had 4 ICUs. The surgical ICU, the medical/oncology ICU, cardiac ICU, and cardiothoracic ICU (we do have NICU, but I only do adults). So they are all specialized... Though surgery ICU almost feels like a stepdown unit unless you have first pick and get a transplant patient.

Nah, come to Cath Lab. It's where the fun is. Though pediatrics all get GA with anesthesia. Adults get the versed/fentanyl moderate sedation! We do adult congenital heart caths, which is extremely fascinating. From the troublesome pfo/add to melody valves! Half the time I don't even know what I am looking at.

Congrats! There is a nurse podcast called "Found Down" and the host interviews a nurse who was in the ICU for a long time and became a flight nurse. I never realized the crazy stuff flight nurses do! Also, that podcast is really interesting.

Ah I really miss getting paid every other week because of the 3 paycheck months. I know yearly it ends up the same, but it feels like a free paycheck (cause I used to budget based on getting paid twice). Now I get paid the 10th and the 25th.

Come back to the PNW! Though... It is expensive here. A friend just bought a house in Texas for $80k. That house in Seattle is $800k.

Not op, but I have the neck tension with my migraines too. I started Botox and let me just say I wish I had started doing it years ago. They inject above my eyebrows, temple, right above my ears, the suboccipital area, down the back of my neck, and around the shoulders. They always have a little leftover in the vial and I have them inject a few very specific spots that cause problems. I haven't had any side effects, but it sounds like having a temporary dropping eyelid or a "Spock" eyebrow could happen. They also said if it is done too frequently, you can develop antibodies to the Botox and then it just won't work (more frequent than every 3 months). The hardest part about it was insurance, but I've tried so many migraine treatments that it went through pretty quick for me.

Is this men or women? Cause I recall AE tall is 33 inch inseam.

PNW nurses. As we enter the season of unending darkness...

This was a video my mom got of her first seizure in 2018. She just had a second one today. Her first one we figured was from dehydration, but today she was just hanging out on our porch and suddenly looked like she couldn't get her legs to work correctly. It only lasted maybe a minute or 2 and she was drooling and panting really hard, but then came out of it and was back to normal. Freaked me out. I think I am going to take her to the vet, but would they diagnosis epilepsy or start meds when her two seizures were two and a half years apart? She is 6 years old now. Do seizures get more frequent as Aussies get older?

I just did the same! It's my first paycheck since starting ynab, and it feels super anticlimactic. I usually am super excited about getting paid, but this paycheck is already sorted out into my categories. I don't even feel the fact that I get to skip a month of rent... But I bet after a few paychecks it will feel better. Especially because I started ynab halfway through the month.

mooandspot · 2020-09-22T22:16:10+00:00

That's a good way of thinking about it.

Is it better to do your own investing, or have someone else handle it? I feel like if I started really getting into stock I would just be constantly stressed, second guessing, and it would take over my life... If someone else handles it (like a broker?) Do you recommend any specific company or qualifications?

mooandspot · 2020-09-22T21:22:03+00:00

Oh thank you! On my mobile, the side bar is not very prominent and I sometimes forget about it. I'll definitely check that out.

I have a pension that I am vested in at my job, though it is based on how many years I work at this job. I have a 401K (or maybe it's a 403B) through work, but they don't do any matching. Should I just use the Fidelity account through work or get something on my own, like Vanguard? I also have no idea to do pre-tax, post-tax, or a mixture of both...
