I am spitzing fucking mad rn 14:30 today i phone our surgeons (well, one of them, chosen at random, since getting any of them on the phone is a pain and a half), inform him of Patient S having dropped 1g/DL in HB, down to 7.4. let him know we had no units available for her, and would need test blood. Get told he'll 'forward it' Call on-ward nurses at 4pm-ish to ask how things are looking on Patient S front. Get told they got the vials and paperwork prepped, but no doc or final verdict now. Say thank you, hang up. Get called back ten minutes later by nurse, verdict is 'we're gonna watch it and cross tomorrow' okaycool.jpg Today,22:30. get call from on shift surgeon that he'd like to transfuse Patient S a unit of blood and that nobody told him anything. WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS. If our surgeons weren't as communicative as depressed rocks, that is. Just. Dude had to go bleed the Patient at 10pm, get me to do the crossing, and put the unit on her in the middle of ghe dang night, despite the fact that i personally called TWICE abput this Patient SIX FUVKING HOURS AGO.
I'm gonna turn into Rumpelstilzchen in here istG Except i don't take someone's first born, i take their damn licensing if they can't solve my riddle, and the riddle is 'do your job on time or so help me'
note to self: next time you're at the garden center, pick up a Nephentes and a pot and work out where in the bathroom it'll be prettiest. Might just made it another hanging pot btw? they're quite pretty after all
the last time i was there they had like sundews, some saracenias and venus flytraps of those I'm very much favouring the saracenias, they're pretty and apparently quite hardy little darlings too, but less ideal for hanging, I think, since they grow so high? Might have to clear a shelfspot for it I'm hoping they'll have a nephentes but most of the time they don't, which, rude.
additional note: if the garden center DOESN'T have a nephentes, go to actual gardener and ask if they can order me one
sarracenias are naturally ground plants, while most nepenthes are vines or epiphytes, so if you're dead-set on a hanger a nepenthes might be a better bet. and obvs sundews and flytraps are gonna want a ground pot
yeah i'd really prefer a nephentes too but they seem a bit less popular here, not sure why. I'll try involving a proper gardener if they regular ass garden center can't help me out on that front.
nepenthes are a pain in the ass to propagate and a lot of them are technically endangered species insofar as nepenthes even has differentiated species, but that's a yell for another day, idk what german regs are on selling endangered/threatened plants
since sundews and sarracenias are *also* endangered in their wild ranges, i think the regs here are 'if it's not collected from the wild, we good'
i also produced some 400-odd words of robot porn: the intro so hey. maybe I'm actually doing ok in this
slightly related whine: i am on my period and accoridingly both HUNGRY and HORNY in equal measure. the measure is 'extremely'. please hormones. calm down. we don't have any sex option in reach and even if we had: period sex be messy, i don't need to deal with that
apparently the key to 'sort your fic thoughts' is a hot shower. Because boy am I having thoughts. specifically, about the Talegion pornshot since it's from Legion's PoV and has been a bitch and a half to write BUT i have, I think reached a solid reasoning on Why The Sex happens (I mean aside from 'i want it to' but y'know) Spoiler: detail So, i worked out in how far sex works out as a pleasure thing for legion: basically, it's taking place across several hmm, layers, i guess you could say? in vastly different ways. like, intellectually, it's pleasant to him because the Geth are devised as learning systems. new input is pleasing because it means more learning, which meets a basic need for them. emotionally it's pleasant because the people he loves are enjoying it, and being able to do something for the people you love feels good. it's satisfying the social aspects, bonding and spending time and making someone else happy. but i reckon there's also a physical layer. not per se an erotic one, but i think it works similarly for him as a workout does for a human. Sometimes, taxing your systems to the maximum, really pushing yourself feels good. it feels accomplished. doing that while also checking off the first two layers feels great in a way that just running say, quantum equations or calculating pi while onyl counting prime numbers wouldn't. AND furthermore: the way they go about it is...pretty equal, actually. Like, running a nerv stim means that not just does he participate, he participates as an equal because the data format is one he can not just use, but fully access, allowing him to 'borrow' sensory experiences he otherwise couldn't have, like how it feels to have sweat running down your back, or what it's like to have a pulse, to breathe, or any of those things, which he wouldn't want to acutally HAVE because it's not like Legion hates being a digital entity or anything. But it's nice to try it. It's nice to get that immediate feedback and explore yourself from the outside. Especially if you're Geth and very very much used to not being a single entity, but a swarm intelligence closely tied to other individual Geth. So I feel that post Legion-as-a-singular-entity, linking himself into the suit hardware allows him to have this particular experience with his lovers who are organic and therefore couldn't otherwise have it
*slides in* General purpose annoncement: I got into the habit of calling friends stuff like Babe/darling/honey years ago and i do it without thinking because People I Like Get Endearments But like, if it's making anyone uncomfy, you let me know and i'll do my best to stop, yeh?
Also, unrelated: horny thoughts all day today. God Good thing i'm alone at work because that way nobody noticrs when i stare off into space for five minutes mentally rereading my fave porn fics. God. Never have i felt so underfucked in my LIFE
