Thanks babe.


In genchat news I was punched by my first patient at the hospital job today. Right in the chin. No biggie but it's been awhile since I felt that immediate "I will gently caress you up" repercussion-adrenaline. I didn't, of course, but took awhile to calm down.

Were they on drugs? That's generally one of the few times that patients get violent per my ER nurse sister, that or disorientation.

The Meijer employees were talking when I was there this morning and one woman said that she was $12 extra. Yeah, suck it Dems, she got twelve whole dollars extra in her pay.

Had been in the hospital for more than three days by this point, was cleared for some condition they came in with and was awaiting discharge. I think it was just old mental health problems combined with extended homelessness. Without a doubt the angriest person I have ever met but I still sit there with a smile and am like "Can I get you anything?" while he mutters "loving fucks goddamn idiots can't even get me loving brown sugar for my oatmeal I'M NOT AN ANIMAL WHY DON'T I HAVE UTENSILS you goddamn lying sacks of poo poo" 100% of the time.

So my brother’s FiL who got knocked over and hit his head, had two internal bleedings in his brain and underwent emergency surgery, has decided to not die and is in fact doing better. His wife got on the first flight from loving Auckland to Copenhagen and is with him now.
He’s been transferred on to a more rehab’y hospital.

Still haven’t been fired. I’ll know by mid-week. If I get sacked and useless incompetent dude gets to stay I’ll be quite cross indeed.

It's also ironic because Paul Ryan deleted the tweet, unable to defend it - but his boys will still defend it to the death even though "reduce what was already nearly zero" is exactly what the GOP is constantly fighting to accomplish for the tax rates of their wealthy donors

Hockey live is awesome. It and baseball are the only two NA sports that are actually better live. If you have a bare grasp on, say, soccer then you won't have much of an issue.

Even if you don't, the atmosphere is great and watching giant dudes go faster than they have any right to while also slamming into people and moving a tiny object in the blink of an eye is loving amazing.

Tell him about the blower!


Had to go to the grocery store, because we needed groceries. gently caress the Super Bowl, and the ten million people who decided they needed more poo poo for their Super Bowl cow down. My fault for not thinking it out completely, and going, like, Friday.

So, on a completely different topic from any of the above, you may recall me bitching about my washing machine on Monday. Got the used good control unit in on Saturday, and installed it. Everything powered up, and it started filling when I did a test empty load, until it started beeping at me and displaying a code "H F". Researching that, its an error regarding water flow/fill. Either the flow meter was not detecting flow, or the pressure sensor that detects "full" wasn't after the flow meter saw 10.5 gallons. Pressure sensor quick tests showed good, and water was definitely flowing, so time to check the flow meter... that my ,Odell does not have, but the model the control unit and front panel came from does. Problem found. So off to eBay to get a used flow meter, and the wiring harness for the model with one because I don't have the plugs needed. Another $15, but should be good to go after that, unless that higher spec model has even more parts that mine doesn't have. All the functions on the dial are selectable, and I'll run the factory diagnostic on it later today. Currently sitting in a laundromat washing clothes though, because we've been down without a washer over a week.
So, cautiously optimistic.

There was a kickstarter. I think it costs $100k per second. I dunno if they are actuslly doing it or not but I am hopeful.

I discovered a way to link my BT speaker in the room with the new patient I'm sitting with (they swapped me from punchy's room, obv) and we watched the new Thor. First time the patient has smiled all day, worth it even if it's a by-the-numbers Marvel movie.
