Callout post for the 21year old, otherwise healthy man who just walked into the ER on 8pm on sunday because he was 'feeling fatigued and thought he had the flu' Spoiler alert: he did have the flu Additional spoiler: he's not a fucking medical emergency, and if healthy people who think they got the flu could go to their fucking GP on regular business hours, flu season Hospitals would be much less strained
Pro tip! If you're an otherwise healthy person and think you've got the flu: stay home. You don't need to visit a doctor, you need rest and fluids.

wanted to do a yoga, but today is not a good day, because apparently both my brain and my body are staging a revolt and it's just not happening today. I think i might be getting ill, which would suck extreme ass.
i realized that it's because this is the third week I don't have a real weekend. I had oncall last saturday, and the friday the week before that, leaving my weekends all torn up so like No wonder my brain is lowkey screaming, i haven't had two days to relax in a row in weeks and it's showing.
also, an complaint: Spoiler: nsfw Why is there no good english term of vagina that doesn't make me wanna sigh, or sound too clinical. Give me a good word to write porn with you bastards.
I felt like this a couple of weeks ago, and so I scheduled some vacation from all the hours I had worked extra. And in my vacation I have scheduled three entire days for sitting on the couch and doing nothing. Not a damn thing. Are you able to schedule some time off soon?
Sadly not. One ofmy coworkers has a scheduled operation coming up (there's some issue with the saliva gland by her ear) which will knock her out for three weeks. one of those weeks goes over the Fasching/Carneval school vacation where both mums in the lab will also take time of so we'll be super short staffed But yeah I uh. checked and I've accrued like 70h overtime (mostly because of the holiday period) and it's suffering on the plus side, i got the first week of march off and will be going to my parents were my mum will doubtlessly attempt to spoil me a lot so hopefully that'll be relaxing?
I accrued 47 in December alone :P But having your time off a bit away isn't bad. Gives you something to look forward to. In the mean time: try to schedule two days of absolutelt nothing one of the upcoming weekends. That should help as well :) Hope you feel well rested soon :D
YEAH god that's the plan. next weekend the only things that will get done is cooking and frankly i'll be making chicken heart soup so that's me 'throw everything into a pot And Wait' which is as uninvolved as cooking can be.
i even have the veg already pre-chopped (well safe for some potato) because i did that last time i made soup and had soup greens left so even that has been Reduced.
Spoiler: nsfw This is the realest feel and part of why I spend as little time as humanly possible describing those bits in my poems. And if I must I try to describe them indirectly in some capacity. 'Clit' is like the only word that is specific to that entire area that I will actually use in my poetry. At least penises get nice words like 'cock'. THESE THINGS GET ONLY SHIT LIKE BEAVER THOUGH. but yeah my solution is to just dance around the issue in such a way that it is very clear what i am talking about but also i do not name it in specific. it's like. artsy and shit.
Spoiler: nsfw Yeah that's just kinda hard in the scene I'm currently working on and just. Urgh. Why are there decent words for penis but not vagina (i mean, sexism, obviously but like. guh). Agreed on 'clit' tho, that's a good word that can be used.
Spoiler Oh oof. I hope you're able to get it flowing well soon...It can be a fucking pain to find words... And yeah clit is a good one. Hard and short. Pleasant sound. Doesn't sound stupid as fuck or like I am seeing my OB/GYN.
Late but THIS, holy shit. Additionally, as someone with a partially treated sleep disorder, they’re pretty much describing a world where I probably can’t buy most things for weeks at a time, including food. But I’ve kinda found that most rants about evil capitalism would kill me if their suggestions were implemented. And a lot of otherwise very healthy people in this case too, because of the ER problem. I’m not sure I like being less alone tbh.
Tbqh i'm starting to develop an irrational hatred for the word 'normie' Because i see it almost exclusively used in the smug 'oh my views/actions are inherently always better' cobtext and just. God. I'm tired. Bonus round: this came up in the context of 'oh a normie wouldn't make an NB character' when the last time i, resident normie of the group, tried, said Charakter ended up getting so persistently she-d by everyone that i decided 'well fuck it, it's a girl now' because apparently nobody cared either way.
Honestly I tend to assume people seriously using it are ableist or racist or just otherwise bigoted fucks due to the sorts of people I hear using it. It's not a good word to use.
