I dunno, but there’s a guy in prison somewhere in Georgia who’d been trying to make collect calls to talk to them for months. I never got to learn more because the calls always came in super early in the morning when my phone was on silent, so it was always just voicemails.
This is a facility of the Georgia Bureau of Prisons with a collect call from <insert recorded voice> DWAYNE STABSALOT. Press 2 to accept the connection.

I noticed a few weeks ago that a lot of people were pooping and taking so much goddamn time in the bathroom. Like, what’s going on?
Oh, they were sneaking in to write on my birthday card. It’s even a tradition and it was my birthday party but no, my stupid fucking brain decided the logical explanation was that everyone had diarrhea.
So I guess I’m the reason party guy has to worry.

Mmmmm except Shaq is huge so he’s already basically 2 guys. So with his shares, instead of 0.5 guys it just cancels out to 1.
QED Shaq == Shaq, no?

- Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light? 5 weeks ago:
I was taught this in driving school. If you’re the last car slowing down, leave a gap of a few car lengths so if a car behind you is going to hit you, it gives you some room to escape either to move up, or enough room to turn out of the lane.
That sounds like some kind of superhero fantasy to me. In what scenario am I about to be rear ended and have enough time to move my car safely?
I usually leave enough space that I could turn into another lane without having to reverse, so if the car in front of me stalls I can go around without too much fuss. That’s like half a car length at best.

- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 2 months ago:
This is weird. The links all show other news agencies, and you see the same at the top of the page when you follow the links. Is MSN re-hosting the stories from all these agencies or are the agencies opting in for this?
Nothing like seeing an Associated Press link and having it open on msn.com!! 🤡

If I were in a fire and suffocating and somehow had a long tube in a bathroom, I think I’d stick the hose out the window and breathe that water instead.
And if I found myself:
- trapped in a bathroom
- suffocating due to smoke from a fire
- i have a long flexible tube
- no windows in the bathroom AND
- I’m somehow not going to burn to death
Then I’ll just fucking die. It’s fine. That’s such an edge case I’m not gonna worry about it.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 2 months ago:
My condo building just got rid of the company that meters our water. After years of this we could finally break the contract.
My water bill usage was something like $15/mo and they had an admin fee of $13/mo. In a building of like 150 apartments, those guys were raking in like $2k a month from us for keeping their automated shit plugged in.
The managers said they would just stop metering and our monthly fees would pay the bill. After a year, they would adjust our monthly rates to balance it out.
They never had to balance it out - that’s how little the overall water usage cost was.

I dunno for sure but I feel like you should decide which one you’re gonna do before you start setting up. Especially if you’re DIYing it on the floor.

- Comment on I don’t know what to do with this coworker. 4 months ago:
Nursing is a little different from most kinds of work environments, but not that different.
I think there’s 2 halves to unpack here. One is her ability and the other is her attitude. If someone is getting along in their career and has trouble hustling around on their feet for 8 or 12 hours, I get it. They can move slower or take longer sitting breaks when there’s no patient in dire need. That’s why people work on teams.
But then there’s the attitude part. Are other nurses dealing with her patients on the regular? Is she ignoring call bells? Is she never making any effort to help a fellow nurse when they’re swamped? Then we have a problem.
Like you said, you’re new and it’s not the time to go in guns blazing. Your reputation doesn’t mean shit for a while now, but I don’t think that means you should just suck it up and do your job in spite of it.
I would mention it casually to your manager. Not as a complaint (see: your reputation doesn’t mean shit), but as a casual concern. “I didn’t want to say anything to X, but I’ve been noticing since I started that she seems to really struggle to deal with her patient load.” Whether you try to frame that along with “how can I help?” or something else is up to you.
The main thing you want to take away is:
- your manager has been informed by you that you’ve seen a problem with this nurse
- you documented the conversation if it was in person
- you’re keeping notes on your coworker when something unacceptable happens.
These sorts of dramas play out slowly. The best thing you can do is collect information you can refer back to later in case things take a twist.
I can’t tell you how many times in my life an employee has become “a problem” in management’s eyes, but we’re starting at 0 because nobody ever complained or documented any of the issues that were going on for YEARS.
