Plenty of people in manager positions without the actual manager skills. People who conduct themselves unprofessionally. That is common IMO. So yeah, get used to it, grow a thicker skin, plus gain confidence as a worker by knowing your rights, what they can and can’t do against you, and all that. Etc.

So localized but just total destruction. No time to react and nothing they could’ve done to escape. Brutal.

Injections always annoy me. Shanking people in the neck with ridiculously fat needles. Or how bout Pulp Fiction where they stab her through the sternum? Also going in the arm, but the angle’s totally wrong and they’d basically be stabbing right through the vein lol

Pulling people out of a burning building. In reality the smoke and fire is so bad, you ain’t seeing shit, not like the clear visibility like they show in the movies. And I spoke to a firefighter who’d been doing it for 35 years. The guy was teaching fire safety at my workplace. He said he responded to thousands of burning buildings and the number of times anyone’s been saved out of a burning building? Exactly zero. That always stuck with me.

Nah, that’s a normal feeling towards job interviews I think lol. Especially the interviews where it’s a panel vs. you. Everybody gets anxious to some extent. And it doesn’t go away just because you’ve been doing this for decades. Take it easy, one at a time. Don’t sweat it.

An alternate reality history of America with Larry David seemingly playing himself. This looks fucking amazing!!!

It’s whatever as long as the women aren’t too young. Like I’ve seen sleazy stuff in SEA and old dudes dating 18-early 20s year olds is fucked up. I don’t care if it’s legal and consented to. Their brains aren’t even fully developed at that age.

Assuming this is for commitment to a locked facility:

Bring some clothes without strings, shoes (again, no strings allowed so you might want to consider slides or slippers), no belts, no scarves. I recommend slides since they double as shower shoes. Valuables, electronics, anything considered a hazard to have on the unit will be confiscated. Includes dangly jewelry, large rings. And in general, consider that there are many patients up and about, some very sick and confused - don’t bring anything you’d be devastated if it got stolen or damaged. Don’t bring food/drinks, cigarettes, lighters, drugs -foodstuffs bc they can’t be verified or stored for hygienic reasons.

No smoking, but they’ll have nicorette gums or patches.

Small amounts of toiletries brought from home may be allowed at their discretion.

You might be allowed to use your smartphone for a short time under supervision (no smartphones for privacy reasons). There should be shared computer, phone, headphones use.

Since you won’t have your phone, DO have important phone numbers written on a piece of paper if you don’t have them memorized.

Expect a non-invasive skin check with a nurse during intake.

SIGN the information release form for family and friends you want involved in your care. Without your permission, they will be turned away.

Ask when the visiting hours are. You can have people bring you food and sometimes order food delivery (check with the staff).

If another patient is bothering you, maybe you’ve got a problematic roommate -let a staff know. They can maybe find a different arrangement.

Shower early or late. Higher chance of having the shared bathroom to yourself.

Stay on the normal sleep schedule and don’t stay up too late. First of all, they track how you’re sleeping. Second, it really sucks to sleep through your daily check-in with the psychiatrist (who basically controls how long you’re staying).

Staff are required to do frequent 24hr safety rounds on everyone, so this means at night too.

There should be recreational time outside to get some fresh air. Some group activities that are optional but encouraged to attend.

But yes, the days are boring! These places are geared for medications and getting you out of a crisis situation - not so much therapy. Recommend bringing reading/writing materials. Daily journaling is a nice idea. Remember no spiral bound because the spirals are sharp.

I gotchu

I could understand the individual components but all together like that, idk

Edit: oh oops. I thought that light gray pillow peeking out was some kind of neck roll for neck support. Lol. This must be for shark week sex.

Maybe for small time employers, but I feel like big companies don’t care because there’s too many applicants. As in, between two equal candidates, they’ll take the one that sounds “unproblematic.”

Well those kids were uniquely screwed. But I figure in a sinking car scenario, the best bet is to immediately roll down the windows. Even better to have manual windows so there’s no risk of automatic windows failing. I have that drilled into my brain, for let’s say I’m driving a car rental and by some freak accident fall off a cliff edge. Fuck waiting for the pressure to equalize, by then who knows how deep I’d be and I don’t trust how long I could hold my breath for.
Roll. Down. The. Windows!

Well I’d definitely want to know how the universe was formed.

Me too. The grease! Those poor keys!

The weird trippy video really elevates the song

It’s finally coming!!

If they cared, it should’ve been escalated to the authorities and investigated for mental health. It’s not just a curious question if he was searching it hundreds of times. If he was actively planning suicide, where I’m from that’s grounds for an involuntary psych hold.

I love the side eye!

Reading this wishing I did everything I could to learn and experience new things before the age of 32. I guess I’m in the plateau phase, but it was not until now that I could afford these priorities and not just focusing on work and survival. Oh well, c’est la vie. I’ll certainly keep trying.😁
