I'm a nurse working in a large hospital. I did ICU nursing for almost 8 years, and now I'm a "float pool" nurse... which means they send me to whatever unit needs help that shift (Except pediatrics. That's not my gig, and our pediatrics has a separate Children's Hospital anyway).

Every day is a new adventure. I might be working in one of the ICU's (Neuro, Cardiac, Surgical, Medical), or I could be on any of the other floor units (Med-Surg and such). Currently on a Nephrology unit, cursing the fact that I scheduled myself to work the night that time rolls back an hour. So it'll be a little over a 13 hour shift tonight :(

But it's hard to say what a typical day looks like. Lots of charting, time management, monitoring, and critical thinking... as well as the physical aspect of patient care. It's definitely interesting and I love it. But it can also be draining (physically, mentally, and emotionally), so ya gotta make sure to maintain your own balance too

They're still in use at most banks where I live. Most hospitals use them too; way faster than dumbwaiters

Damn, I haven't thought about those in a long time

Russia is part of the Asian continent

Question: I bought my phone unlocked several years ago. I have AT&T. But apparently, because I didn't buy it from AT&T, my visual voicemail refuses to work

I've tried and given up several times to fix it, and it's not a huge deal; I just miss being able to check my voicemail without calling it.

Do you happen to know anything about this? Every "fix" I've found has failed so far

That's what happened to me. Used one for the first time at a hotel — bought one not long after and will never go back. Got like a $30 one and am still using it over 4 years later. I'll probably upgrade when I have the extra money, realizing just now how long it's been since I got it

That's freaking cool, I never knew that. Appreciate the link

Check out "slow scan tv" if you haven't already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized

Just don't underestimate them... I hear they "kick like a mule" and "bite like a crocodile"

I can carry 3 full pint glasses in one hand and 2 in the other. If they're empty, I can carry 4 in one hand and 3 in the other. It comes in handy more than I would expect

Damn, I forgot about Smash TV. Idk how much time my friend and I spent on that game as kids

I thought Chrome was planning to oust ad blockers in 2024. Idk if that's true though, maybe I'm mis-remembering.

I've kinda stuck with Firefox for many years now because I never saw any reason not too. I honestly hardly ever used extensions though (except ad blockers), so maybe there's something I don't understand about any downfalls of Firefox. I just don't see any, especially nowadays. It just works for me, so I never fully switched.

I've tried other browsers, but I just come back to Firefox ever time. It's a comfort at this point
