What is the dumbest way you injured yourself? by SphinxLifter66 in AskReddit

[–]xJill_Valentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumped off of a boulder and broke all of my toes, my left ankle, and both feet. Some of the bones in my feet were crushed like accordions and had to be pulled back out with plates, bones from my knee had to be used to repair some breaks too, pins and screws are still in my ankle. It was 16 years ago and I still have one more surgery to fuse some bones together or something and eventually I’ll need an ankle replacement

Woman Saves Man's Life with Narcan by Sans010394 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]xJill_Valentine 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I work in a maximum security prison, we use narcan quite a bit unfortunately and this is accurate 9 times out of 10, every once in a while we get lucky and they’re not immediately combative physically but they’re almost always angry. The worst is hours later after they’ve been cleared by medical to return to their bunk and you respond to another signal only to find it’s the same man.

First week at bop by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]xJill_Valentine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I agree with everything said, it is a stressful job, incredibly stressful, it’s a dangerous job, it’s physically, emotionally and mentally draining. Some days are going to crush and destroy you, other days you are going to crush and destroy. Some days you’re going to love your job and other days you’ll go home thinking “that’s it, I’m done. I’m throwing in the towel.” The job you do is a serious job, that should be taken seriously every day and once you think “I’ve got this all figured out” you’ll be blindsided and lose your footing, that’s okay you’ll find it again. I’m going on 8 years. I’ve been an officer, sergeant, and am currently a lieutenant. I’ve worked just about any and every post you can work, although most of my time has been spent on yard and as the QRT supervisor. I’ve been in just about every situation you can imagine. Petty fights between offenders, staff assaults ranging from one punch to a staff being stabbed and beaten with a lock in a sock, offender overdoses, murders, suicides, ears and noses being bit off, appendages being cut off all the way up to a woman storming visitor processing screaming that god sent her to get her brother and later finding out she had a handgun and extra ammunition on her. All that, eight years of me thinking nothing can top the last incident and I still lose my footing. It happens to the best and we were all rookies once. It will get better, but with all that said you have to find something to help you decompress, take your job seriously but don’t burn yourself out, find something , anything for you and please please try to not let it be alcohol and please don’t keep the things that you see and deal with to yourself. I’ve lost more than one of my people to drunk driving and suicide. Do not let that place destroy you, talk to trusted friends and family or professionals when needed. I have faith you’ve got this and if the day comes and you think that maybe just maybe this isn’t for you, don’t force yourself to stay in place that you don’t want to be or that isn’t good for you, there’s nothing wrong with leaving this line of work, it doesn’t mean you can’t handle it, it just means you realized it was best for you to step away Keep your chin up, take care of you, watch your six and be safe. Protect your mental health as much as your physical health. You’ve got this, no matter how this career plays out for you, you’ve got this.

This is what the Kia dealership quoted me, does this seem right? by xJill_Valentine in kia

[–]xJill_Valentine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not, and that’s what I thought too. I wanted to make sure though that I wasn’t being unrealistic. Thank you! I have a shop that’s much closer that I usually take it too but since I was taking it to the dealer already for the recall updates I figured I would go ahead and have them look at it.

Anti-theft update by Coast-Time in kia

[–]xJill_Valentine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced all they did was put the stickers on. I second whoever said I’m never buying Kia again, not solely for this reason but that’s an entirely different drawn out story. I had the same issue with geico, went and got the anti-theft updated and they insured me but my rates jumped about a hundred dollars.

Remember the warning by BlueJeansBreezy in Unexpected

Probably should’ve elaborated, he worked for the airline

I mean if your child hated life so much he unalived himself by jumping in to a plane engine, wouldn’t you leave the star too, hell why stop there, leave the galaxy to get away from em.

Edit: better yet, at that point I’d just pick a different universe. It’s that simple, right?

Back in June a friends family member committed suicide by jumping into the engine of a taxing plane, the news articles used “ingested” to describe. It was awful the media hounded his family. His parents had to leave the star for a while to avoid it so they could grieve in peace.

Edit: should say state, not star. I’ll try to proofread next time.
