What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
I have my first day of floor orientation today at the new facility.

I've somewhat acclimated myself to being awake during the day again, after five years, but I'm not getting much sleep. That will likely change once I wear myself out on the job.

Two paragraphs into editing the final draft of an essay on Plato's Apology. Going to have breakfast and then I'll be back upstairs to finish the editing.

I tried restarting the laptop, but the issue didn't change. Eventually, I cleared my cache and cookies (this took about an hour to do completely). Things changed, but not for the better. This time, I tried to log into YouTube (and Google) and I get this message:


Fortunately, I figured out that the problem lay in the two-factor authentication. I turned that off and I finally got to log back in. YouTube on Firefox is still just refusing to play some videos for some reason.

After leaving my laptop alone for a few hours, YouTube's working properly now.

Forgot I had a bottle of this, so I applied it.

On my lunch break. The first half of the shift was busy, but not overwhelming. The second half coming up I'm accustomed to having worked before when I did twelve hour shifts.

Waiting for the Joe Mauer love-fest to blow over. I wondered why the game started 30 minutes early tonight. They're inducting him into the Twins HOF. I could be napping.

Just bought an Alto Kalimba on eBay for $30.

I'm hoping that this facility meets your high standards, and I'm not joking about that. We've seen how you care for the patients, and that you don't appreciate how other people there act. I've seen a bit of that where my mother-in-law spent her last days. Those people were stellar in their care.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Toasty on boxed white wine mixed with hard seltzer. Bounce between here, Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Imgflip PoliticsTwo (a meme site), all this stuff cross-pollinates. Early to bed, then back to Torpedo Town (Keyport, WA) to roll back the Yellow Peril.

The last place I was at, I don't think I was even there three months. Both nurses and aides were unprofessional in an immature manner. And the facility had a propensity for having regular state visits in that short time due to staff negligence. I had to get out of there.
