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.

I see entirely too many of these pieces of shit in Vancouver.

Vibes, for the most part.

Seems like something that should be general government business and not an election promise.

Doing your fucking job and enforcing the law isn’t the same thing as promising infrastructure projects or putting new laws forward.

We need to get on renaming it the Highway of Canada.

You try to push your thumb and forefinger through each other. Eventually they slip.

People like this are the reason AI is so unreliable at exploring code issues.

Like, I just want Copilot to look at my dependencies to explain a vague error I’m seeing and it’s telling me to downgrade Ruby, upgrade Rails, and install Python. Bro, it’s a node package.

The boots are both made in China anyway. Might as well cut out the middle man!

I guess they aren’t sending their best.

It’s being savvy

Is there some new sort of security clearance he can avoid getting?

He’s the guy on the bus desperately trying to make eye contact with anybody so he can endlessly talk about himself.

He’s why people stare at their phones during the entirety of their transit trip. You think there’s enough interesting shit on my phone to keep me that focused on it? No, man, I just see you flailing and flopping around in my periphery trying to get attention.

I have a petty one:

1. Go to Settings and disable Apple Intelligence
2. use Siri voice control for a task
3. the Siri icon thing remains at the bottom of the screen because it’s listening for the next command.
4. tap elsewhere on the screen

Expected: Siri goes away

Encountered: the tap does nothing - Siri will continue listening until you say “thank you” or turn off the screen.

Workaround: restart the phone and the problem goes away.

Everything is a drinking game for Pete Hegseth.

The only possible explanation for this not being fraud is that Tesla was sloppy about submitting the rebates for purchases going back months and months and months and they had to scramble to get the legitimate claims in before the program ran out of money.

But I’m pretty much 100% certain that’s not the case because if it were true, Tesla would be loudly saying that’s all it was. Instead it’s silence or poop emojis or whatever that idiot has their communications department doing now.

I had the same problem and eventually abandoned it. Even though I had good results with it finding content, the book metadata is usually terrible and I end up having to manually fix it in Calibre and then force download metadata and cover art.

If I’m already having to do that anyway, might as well just acquire the book manually and import it myself.
