After two years and six days of being classified as a part time temp/intern at my office (whilst performing duties of a full-time job).... I was finally offered a full-time position.
For two years, my morale was so low thinking "it's never going to happen". I still haven't processed that after all this paid slave labor, I finally got promoted.
Anyways, work is about to get a lot more busy for me... so I am expecting regular visits to this thread. This news is half "Yay!" and the other half "Oh shiz! What have I gotten myself into..."
Edit: this also shelves any thoughts I had of moving out to the South. Maybe one day in the future.
Congrats, man. I know you have been working hard for this for a long time now.

I have my first 4 day work week this week. I have to get up and do homeschooling with the boys tomorrow, but it's odd sitting here Sunday night knowing I don't have to get up super early tomorrow.

Is this a regular thing or just this week?
Regular thing. I have to do 5 days on any weeks where I have extended training like the week after this one. There is also some situations where holidays will throw things off but not many.

I am still waiting on a work story. We all know rock hard poop removal is just a hobby for you.

True, because I will need some poop to throw at you this week and hard poop works best for throwing at UT fans.
Well, back to work, the 74 yr old alzheimer patient with dementia, in the room next door, decided to tear a part the red bio-hazard trash in the red bin that was in her room. She tore it into a million tiny little pieces. then not only is she a lawyer, she is also a plumber, and decided to show her remodeling and facet removing skills. She flooded the room and then in a celebration of her feat and victory, she took a poop in the trash bin that we just removed the red bag from.

I am suddenly transported back to Moogfest 2011 when LoveLuckLaughter and I starting trading stories from working with psych patients while everyone else just watched in horror.

We have identical creamer & sugar containers in the office kitchen. For as long as I've worked here, the sugar has always been on the right and the creamer on the left. Someone mixed them up and I put powdered creamer in my iced tea.
(I know this pales in comparison to encountering various forms of poop, but it was annoying)
Friday morning, I was running the cash register and helping customers in the college bookstore I work in. Two coworkers who were supposed to be working were both in the office on their smart phones. This type of shiz (me working while my coworkers don't and/or goof off) happens on the reg, so I requested a transfer this weekend (didn't snitch, just said the other store was closer and that I thought it would be a better work environment.)
Applying for better-paying jobs currently. Hoping to have something by the end of November. Sure ain't easy.
Some clarification: they (they being Neebo, who are a horrible company, btw) moved our manager to a store in Charlotte back in January and gave the manager at another store for another college here in Raleigh the managing duties at our store (in addition to her store). So she's essentially supposed to do the work of two people, which just isn't possible considering they are two different stores at two different colleges. She mostly stays at the other store, so we are usually just without a manager completely. One of my coworkers, who's also a student, was kind of made into an assistant manager at our store, but she was one of the people in the office on her smart phone. There's just a complete lack of accountability and responsibility. I was stocking drinks one day and a woman went up to the table where you pick up textbooks. The girl who is assistant manager and her friend (who also works in the store) were having a conversation and could clearly see this woman needed help. I waited a minute thinking one of them would help her (as I was in the middle of a task) and they just carried on with their conversation, completely ignoring her. I wound up having to stop what I was doing to help her.
End of rant. But if feels nice to get that off my chest.

I try not to be super militant about occasional phone use, I get that sometime people need to check in with family or whatever, but it drives me a little bit nuts if I walk by and see one of our nurses just sitting there playing candy crush (even though I understand the addiction!) I feel like a crotchety old person about it sometimes, and it can get annoying when I have to redirect people to find productive things to be doing if there's downtime.
it's mostly about perception as far as I'm concerned- if a parent has been in the waiting room for any length of time, and as they're being taken back to a room pass by a nurse who seems to be goofing off, that doesn't make anyone feel good about our practice. I spent years being the hard worker in an environment of people who were unmotivated and I know it's frustrating. best of luck to you!
omgee you guys. for my family health class we have to meet with and develop a care plan for a family referred to us by one of several agencies- in my case, a local free medical clinic. pretty sure going into it the mom thought that my partner and I were from the government and out to get her (not so much, just trying to pass this fucking class and start my doctorate program, but whatevs)...
so after we introduce ourselves and I mention I'm a nurse in a Peds office, she proceeds to tell me how she "decked" the nurse who gave her son his first shots and broke her nose and "left her laid out on the floor" because she "jabbed" his leg too hard.
bonus: a set of grandparents live next door and the family is happy to share that they "take potshots" at them/their house on the regular (because they are fighting for custody of the children) by which, I'm pretty certain they do not mean verbal insults.

Sounds like a loving and responsible family to me!

My dentist told me a story like that one...there was this immense muscular cop who came in for a filling and sat down in the chair, and as my dentist was putting the bib on him, put his hand on my dentist's thigh and looked into his eyes and said, "Now Doc...we're not going to hurt each other today, are we?"
So my dentist said "Nope," took the bib back off the guy, and showed him the door.
let's just say, trying to then have a conversation where I had to ask about finances, social support, family values and power dynamics was not the most fun I've ever had.
I dealt with sketchy, hostile and threatening people on a regular basis as a Guardian ad Litem and a school nurse but I was not expecting that today. we have to go back out for a second visit to implement our care plan and provide teaching. should be interesting.

I spent my entire morning in a meeting switching between doing this
to a co-worker who somehow has not learned that you don't sell your boss out in a meeting with people from higher up and this
to the same co-worker who used the meeting which is meant as a general update thing to spend seriously 60% of the meeting talking about things that only apply to him.

Admin update: As I have said earlier, he has mellowed out recently, so his outbursts are much less frequent. Yesterday, he was stressed when I went to his desk and started talking/ranting about his work load. It took the form of "I have this and this and this and this to do. Why doesn't someone just come put a stick up my *ss while they are at it?" I have no idea what that means.
Happier update: I was up in the boons the other day. While talking to a client, he was relating to me a story about one of his customers. During the course of it, he stated, "He's a known rogue." in an effort to convey that this customer gets up to general criminal mischief. I don't think I have ever heard someone use the term rogue outside of discussions of video games and fantasy novels, and this guy did not seem to be someone who would be a party to either of those things.
For those that have worked in the medical field or law enforcement, please tell me that you see in increase in "craziness" around a full moon? I need reassurance that things will be back to normal soon. Though, today, I'm actually blaming the Fall Equinox, since the full moon was last Thursday.

whenever things start getting bananas at work with crazy patients I check just out of curiosity and yes, it's almost always near a full moon. ER visits, admissions, and births tend to increase and I've been told psych patients can be especially affected.
