Condensate pump?
You can also have fun with that one.
“I’m not racist, but why is the receipt printer at the self checkout always so low?”
“I’m not racist, but how come there’s no hardware stores close by?”
Let em spin their wheels trying to figure out what’s racist in a bland question.
Go back to learning how to not drop trophies, J.D. I think foreign policy is a little out of reach atm.
Canadian shoppers are starting a new habit. After checking an item if it is a US product they return it to the shelf upside down and turn several more of the same item upside down so the next shopper knows to skip that product.
Haha omg, I thought I was the only one childishly doing that. My grocery store must be really on top of re-facing their shelves, because I’ve never come across any upside down US products.
The biggest hint something is American is when the shelf is fully stocked and there’s lots of items missing from the nearby brands.
…for now.
The next evolution of the prank where a singer at a concert yells “Siri phone mom!” into the microphone and everyone’s iPhone goes nuts.
And that ocean is preferably on a planet other than Earth.
Don’t be all judgey. His name is Don Trat and he forgets his name sometimes, so it’s tattooed on his finger.
Elon can go to hell but I think I agree with the government on this one. The contracts were already signed and this was planned for a long time. Just cancelling and aborting the plans because there’s no immediate alternative available.
Ditch Starlink when there’s another provider ready to go. Don’t leave a bunch of infrastructure offline just to make a point.
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.
The Optimus robots were unveiled at Tesla’s “We, Robot” event last October, and were touted as the future in household management, performing basic tasks and chores and later mingling with guests.
Ah, yes, the robots that were remote controlled by an employee with a gamepad, had another employee with a microphone talking for the robot, and a couple of handlers standing close by to make sure they didn’t fall over.
Those robots will be on Mars in less than 2 years.
