Just started thinking about labor and delivery nurse Steve Harrington having to fill in for his best friend Robin in the ER at the last minute on his off week

And who stumbles in (comes in on a stretcher) but rock star Eddie Munson who fell off the stage at his show just because he’s incredibly clumsy (this isn’t even the first time it’s happened). His leg is very obviously broken at the knee because he broke his fall with it and he’s struggling to focus on questions because of the pain.

One of his bandmates came with him, Jeff, who Eddie keeps referring to as his mom on the road. Jeff calls Eddie’s next of kin so they can focus on giving him a scan, pain meds, and setting his leg as soon as possible.

The pain meds kick in fast and he’s flirting with Steve nonstop.

And he’s good.

He hits all of Steve’s buttons: the obnoxious pet names that should be annoying but aren’t, the casual touches to his hands and arms as he gets him comfortable, the lines he’s using that are stupid but adorable.

He has no reason to stay after they take care of his major injury and the one spot on his arm that needed stitches. He didn’t hit his head and passes all the concussion protocol tests, his stats are normal, his pain is being managed with a prescription of Tylenol with codeine. He can go home.

But Eddie insists he should have Steve’s number in case he gets worse (he won’t) or has questions (google is available). Steve gives him his number.

He texts him almost immediately.

And keeps texting him for days.

Weeks.

Calls him every morning before Steve’s shifts. Every time his post-show adrenaline matches up with Steve’s lunch breaks. Every time their schedules sync up.

And then he shows up randomly to get his cast removed.

Steve reminds him he could’ve gone anywhere, especially because he was working his usual floor.

Eddie reminds him that he wanted an excuse to see him.

Steve manages to grab a 30 minute lunch break when all his fellow nurses and doctors find out his Eddie is visiting.

When Eddie leaves, it’s with a promise to be back when tour ends in less than a month, a promise to take Steve on a real date, and a promise to be the best damn boyfriend Steve’s ever had.

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part

i decided to quit my job

meant to leave work early bc first day back post being on sick leave for a week.. instead ended up staying an hour late AGAIN when I already have too many hours built up, bc there were a bunch of accounts that needed to be set up for folks starting work tomorrow

which.. obviously no one had done while I was absent, amazing. my filter list went from 34 tickets (which I've been keeping it steady at) to 60 in a week and most of the entries are way behind schedule already, jfc you'd think none of the people actually employed to do this shit are doing anything at all, so it all just lays dormant until I get around to it

it's gonna suck for folks when I'm gone for exam prep for a month and half in a few weeks... urgh

Hmmm I kinda want to make a side blog for RPG Maker game development related things to be able to talk to more experienced people in that community, but at the same time I both don’t really think I’d get much attention and don’t want to accidentally spoil my own game (^^ ; ).

I have a rough story, concept doodles, a tileset, some character sprites, an enemy that walks around but can’t initiate battle yet (if I even decide to have a battle system), a couple rooms with some events, and a functioning run button, but I’m still lost on how to do much else at the moment. Especially since this program has the ability for scripting, meaning I’ll probably have to learn and actually retain another coding language.

So, I’m not very far at all lol. Idk how well that’d go over on the established fandom website, but eh.

W the Loblaws boycott coming up for May, I do have to voice some worries.

Weltons corporation is. Huge. Absurdly so. I just wanna put that out there. Boycotting loblaws, superstore, shoppers, etc MAY make the owners notice smth, but the likelihood is that... They won't care.

This is because outside of loblaws and their public facing stores, welton foods also does things like hotel food delivery, hospital food delivery, college and university food delivery. And by food delivery i do mean that they are SUPPLIERS of raw materials and such for these kitchens and restaurants. They're a major player in the food industry here, to the point where i actively know of several of their IT contracts + know what their shit is like bc of connections in the restaurant and bar industries who have EXPLICITLY complained abt this shit.

Basically. Consumer boycotts for welton foods, while admirable and smth I do fully support, are probably just going to wind up hurting the store employees who already get minimal hours, cant have water at the cash w them, have to pay money if they want to wear a SWEATER TO WORK WHILE IN CANADA (you have to wear a PG or store brand sweater that costs 40 bucks out of your paycheck), and who are going to have to bear the brunt of the ire from the people still shopping there.

This doesn't touch on the people who use the loblaws, shoppers, or superstore pharmacies for their medication. These people don't have the ability to fully boycott welton corp bc of the whole "uses them for meds".

People also forget that it's not just these stores owned by welton. Theyve got shares and partial ownership basically anywhere you buy pc brand foods, alright. Its basically how i figure out who's owned by them. More importantly though, other grocers are doing the same shit, just getting away with it bc theyre a bit more subtle or bc the focus isnt on them. Walmart, metro, sobeys, price choppers/freshco, the list goes on.

Boycott, sure, but the thing we really need here is for the govt to actually take action and force these corporations to lower their prices on basic necessities, because people all over canada are being priced out of living, no matter what grocery store they're shopping at. We need active regulations on this, and that's never gonna happen if people don't push for it.
