Well, there’s a legitimate complaint for the first nurse that didn’t explain your discharge adequately to whoever was supposed to finish it, but thats it. The first 10 min is nothing, and all the time you spent whistling was a waste since it’s not going to attract the attention of people listening for ambulance sirens, lethal arrhythmias and toddlers in distress, nor should it. If you identified the triage nurse correctly, then they left their station to help you, so staring daggers at them is just confusing, she’ll probably be scratching her head when the complaint comes up thinking ‘what was this jerk’s problem.’
Fair enough, sure, I’ll certainly concede that especially within the first ten minutes, other cases with higher priority might crop up - I get that, however, I’m pretty sure I identified the correct nurse considering that she was the only one of two assistant nurses around, from what I saw when the curtain wasn’t pulled around me (and leaving that to an immediate 50/50 deduction for pegging the A.T.N. for this). The other assistant nurse, with the lighter voice (whom I addressed when I first poked my head out the curtains after the half-hour wait) I would like to think would have had at least some presence of mind to maybe acknowledge such an oversight if she had in fact been the one responsible for forgetting about me.
Should I be biased against A.T.N., then, especially when, during the half-hour wait, I occasionally heard comments from her like “yeah, yeah” and “Well, I guess nobody’s perfect”? That sounds like irresponsible snarkiness to me, and probably wouldn’t create the most reassuring of impressions to most folks. I’d also like to think that the initial nurse who looked at me (and was excellent) would not have been half-assed about it when informing me that someone will be by right away (and not half an hour later).
I’m pretty confident that if A.T.N. had to eventually have a sit-down with a superior, my issue would not, at all, have been the only one with her.
You learn some new disturbing thing every day.
This remains legal in 45 states. What a delightful thought.
Well, I meant correctly identified her assignment as the triage nurse. The triage nurse is the point person, when I have that assignment, I know little, if anything, about people in beds, and if I step away from that post to help, I do it for the minimum amount of time possible. Even if I don’t appear to be doing anything, I’m meant to be available when someone walks through the front door with an arrow in their chest.

ASIS: the current situation of my brain is that I’m a moron.
Holy fucking shit it just keeps getting better.
So I made a new discord (obviously). Now multiple community servers are refusing to let me back on. Not because they think I did anything wrong (they understand full well what’s going on here), but because, get this, they worry that this asshole will get them in trouble for associating with me. And it’s not just me, either - another content creator who got on this fucking cretin’s bad side is grounds for him making some very pointed threats. It’s amazing - everyone and their dog within our community knows that this guy is a bad actor, but have no choice but to take his threats seriously because if they don’t, he can destroy our communities. So I’m on the outside looking in, and so is anyone else he wants to target - which happens to be anyone who speaks up about his extensive history of malignant abuse.
And it’s like… what the fuck do you even do about that? Take those threats to court, and get into a legal battle on shaky grounds with some asshole who’s got several decades on you, is considerably wealthier than you, has friends who are lawyers, and is far better at being a manipulative douchebag than you (and who, knowing your personal information, would very likely have no compunctions sharing everything about your rather niche fetish with your employer)? That sounds like a fucking great idea. And anything short of that can’t/won’t make this stop. It’s insanity.
Why “obviously”? Why not take a break from toxic online communities and go find some real life friends. Or do any of a hundred things you could do with the time you’ll save. Head on back to Discord when that guy gets banned (he WILL get his inevitable Karmic bite on the butt, but it might be a while… why be miserable in the meantime?) Just let it go… and let yourself go (away), too.
The problem isn’t “toxic communities”. I’ve built my own lovely little community full of people I like and enjoy spending time with, and most people in this community as a whole are fine. It’s really just this one vindictive nasty fucker.
the dumbass dpss that called me last week saying he was going to come sometime yesterday from 3 to 5 pm to finally fix a two month problem I’m having with la county officialdom ….kept the house tied up for hours and we couldn’t do anything
what makes it worse we didnt get a "hi im going be late or not going be able to make it bye or KMA or nothing …… I just know once we start putting up the Easter décor and on a ladder hell show up with the papers I need to sign ……
Nobody else was amused by a menu item titled “4 Deuces Special”??
mmm
Not sure what the county’s been doing to our street for the past few months but now they’re outside the dining room windows, making a huge racket and shaking the concrete & steel building.
This morning another version of the Shit-Headed Samaritan (SHS) demonstrated exemplary driving behavior.
Said driver decided to stop (in a location where there was no traffic light or stop sign) so that a procession of vehicles waiting on an intersecting street at a stop sign
could turn in front of him (and all the people behind him that he was holding up).
Of course I was one of the drivers he allowed to turn in front of him, so not a bad guy for an SHS. 
Why so late putting up your Easter decor? I’ve had my Easter lights AND fully-decorated Easter tree up for WEEKS!
(okay, the truth is I never took the Christmas tree down. I just took the angel off the top and put up a rabbit.
All right, the REAL truth is that I took the angel off the top in February and put a groundhog up there.
OKAY, THERE WAS A LEPRECHAUN UP THERE IN MARCH! GET OFF MY BACK!)
So sorry. What a handsome kitty <3
Someone dropped the biggest, ugliest and filthiest hound dog off on my road. He, of course smelled free vittles and came limping on down the drive. And plopped his ugly ass on my deck with a forlorn hungry look. Yes, I said limping. His front foot is hurt. Looks swollen. I went out to walk my doggies and he picked his head up and looked at my fat beagle like she was a baked ham. We went on our walk. When we got back the dog had got on one of my deck chairs and was cutting Zzzs. Well, that cushion is ruined. Mr.Wrekker on his way out read me the law about not feeding it or trying to wash him. (I got bit pretty bad last year by a similar hound) He’s gonna find where it belongs, he says. The dog is looking cuter and cuter. He has big ol’ sad eyes. Awwww. Look away, beck, look away. I’m doomed.
I think we’re talking across each other, and I have no idea what utilities have to do with anything, so I’m gonna let this go, OK, bye
Utilities have to do with stuff such as being able to change the person who’s listed in the contract when the one listed cannot act for himself. And I fail to see what does understanding the reference to utilities have to do with knowing whether you got a prenup or something else, and how sure you are that local companies will in fact honor these documents you got.
Apparently, ex-Pope Benedict blames the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic church on the sexual revolution of the 60s. I find this particularly interesting because my dad, who was born in 1930 and would have been of alter-boy age in the early 40s, told us that it was pretty well known at his church which priests you had to avoid. Maybe they were time-traveler priests from the sexy future???
Things like this make me that much more confident that being a lapsed Catholic is the right way to go.
Lord almighty, who even mentioned a pre-nup???
I asked if that’s what you got. In, like, my initial question. The one to which you replied that you don’t know what do utilities have to do with it. Since apparently that’s not what you got, I’m going to assume it was something else.
You’re really having serious reading issues, aren’t you?
