I actually do really really struggle in an N95. I dream of my only work PPE being my panic badge and occasionally some gloves.

My old unit was a COVID-psych unit for a bit except it’s like. Illegal. to isolate people on a Psych unit for extended periods (with good reason). So you can’t just tell them they have to stay in their rooms, you have to let them use the dayrooms. So we were just out in the unit in full ppe for 12 hours straight.

And then we started getting sicker COVID patients so I was trying to get this guy who had been wheezing for hours breathing properly before I gave him a bunch of sedatives at bedtime so I went to prop him up to breathe better except we don’t have motorized beds in Psych we just have box beds. So I was carrying like 40lb of blanket rolls to his room to jam under the head of his mattress which I had to haul up into the air with him on it to get the rolls under it. And I’m doing this in full head to toe plastic bag gown with a face shield and an 95 plus a paper mask so that I can keep reusing the n95

and the doctor hasn’t had time to call me back about getting him another inhaler and I’m swimming in my sweat under the plastic gown and I can barely see through the fog on the face shield (because n95s do let air EXIT around the edges of the mask). And then the dude just has a stroke anyway.

He lived, actually. The stroke team fixed him. They kept asking if I’d given any sedatives that might be affecting their assessment. Super proud that I got to say no it’s the only time I’ve ever seen an RRT nurse impressed with me.

Omg I thought that was the joke.

Oh John dies at the end is in my top ten all time favorites possibly even #1 and I don’t even like horror.

Somebody’s never smelled a GI bleed…

Anecdotally, I’ve heard it said that librarians and archivists often envy the thoroughness of that tagging system.

…on the other hand my partners immediate response to this image was and I quote,“Well, if you think about it, the John F Kennedy assassination really just a complicated fivesome— six if you buy into the grassy knoll theory.”

KoL is still a thing??? I should go back to that it was pretty great.

Still, when in Rome.

One day interpreting those watermarks will be a form of archeology…

Christianity was a fabulous anti-establishment death cult that taught there was no higher honor than being gruesomely murdered by the state for loudly proclaiming their inadequacies. Then the council of Nicaea happened and they BECAME the establishment aaaand… My conversion to Gnosticism of going fabulous thank you for asking. It’s not OG flavor Christianity if you’re not actually being persecuted!

I feel like the specific price is something you figure out after you figure out how much it costs to run the thing and no, I had not gotten that far yet. How much do your accounting services cost?

Tbh this is as far as I’ve ever gotten with this idea but I appreciate the tip if I ever did actually try to implement it! Edit: had to look it up but probably actually. My fuzzy original thought was one of the many services my various employers have used to verify my license, but these seem more consumer focused which is probably better suited to this use-case.

Obviously. You’d only use it if you specifically wanted to back up what you were posting with a medical license or status as a public figure or whatever. This isn’t a service targeted at the average shitposter.

I’ve thought it would be cool to run a $1 monthly paid mastodon server where your username has to match the credit card used to pay. + maybe other stuff like verifying degrees, medical licenses, etc so that people with such things can have a verified presence with which to interact with the rest of mastodon.

Independent / self-directed. In the right position (especially field work, wfh, or onsite overnight) it’s very useful to have someone who doesn’t need other people to get things done.

My resume: I survived working for the state for over a year without any of the patients grievously injuring me. Here’s my license number.

Them: you’re hired!

If only all advertising were this honest and straightforward instead of selling me dubiously accurate “vibes.”
