They ' re slowly letting northbound through now , southbound still stuck . <| sep |> bubble squeak <| sep |> That ' s what you get if you try to read a JPEG as a text file . Somehow the carrier is fucking up hardcore the x 9 numbers indicate the carrier split what it thought was an overly long text message . <| sep |> Can you pick me up a toaster on your way back ? Thanks . <| sep |> Are you bringing logic here ? To an At Will state ? It ' s a delicate balance , I think . My friends who were with me in the nonUnion labor pool have since reported back in abject horror over the attitudes of unionized labor once starting to work for the VA we have no other unionized work force so we literally don ' t know anything else . Of course , no one complains about the $, but they find the attitudes there toxic and patient care terrifying . When our original unit wasn ' t a burner unit it was sort of the best of both worlds . A shit attitude and a slack work ethic got you shitcanned , but at the time there were many vested , older nurses who loved it and the pay was worth it for the experience and the excellent patient care . The shift in culture on our one unit spread us all far and wide and we ' re all searching for what we had . and it sucks . Sorry to get on a soap box , but I definitely agree with you on the reality that no one ' s listening and we ' re all getting fucked patients suffer the gravest consequences of bad decisions because let ' s face it in critical care situations you are literally playing with lives when you don ' t retain your experienced RNs because of whatever reason . Not discounting excellent doctors , but if the nurse you have doesn ' t even know what ' s important to tell himher and what ' s a critical change your life literally hangs in the balance . When I started out I had experienced nurses all around me to ask or to tell me if I missed something , but I look at these new faces and they do not have that . and they don ' t even know what they ' re missing . And it wasn ' t even retirement that caused it . All our experience is working elsewhere , swapping specialties to get the fuck out . In short this whole thing sucks . And I wish it didn ' t take a visit from risk management or the state to fix it . Edit fix a typo
