#like they are like 'oh it's not that bad in my workplace'

[tenrose]

So today at work (AGAIN), I unofficially learnt through our Union (who thought we were aware lmao) that my team and I are gonna move to ground floor. Ground floor with the heavy and noisy machinery, the open door for delivery, the floor where AC is running on cold mode all days of the year for the machines heat, the place everyone is running and yelling and carry papers and big stuff. The place that is not even accredited for computers.

We work on computers all day. On something that requires to be focused. And also I wonder how we'd reach our supervisors but hey if it happens I don't plan on working much anyway.

LOL

it's unofficial so I don't think it's gonna be happening because nobody is fucked up enough to do something like that. Anyway if it happens, first it's our right to stop working until we have decent conditions, if not enough it's HR, if not enough it's work healthcare and if it's still not enough I can assure you my social anxious ass will call the fucking work inspection in a heartbeat. Anyway I wasn't realising this shit till now at 7pm when I should be at peace and not thinking about fucking work. I'm not sure if I'm having a mental breakdown or a burn out. I feel rage.

Anyway I don't think it's gonna happen, because if it does literally nobody from my team will work until they get their shit together. The thing is, my team has elder employees who are taking no shit and not giving a single shit about what the management wants from them and I suspect them to try to punish us. So yeah, if it happens they're not gonna be able to keep with their bullshit for one day, it happened already they only lasted for like 4 hours before giving up and we thought we were at peace. So yeah I'm pretty sure our Union is gonna nicely tell them to fuck off. But just the thought they had such a fucked up idea is making me see blood red. I swear my heartbeat rate rise up so often lately with their shit I'm gonna have a cardiac arrest before 40 at this rate.

Gonna use the color printing at work to get a copy of this I can hamg on ceiling above my bed.

I...am honestly stunned by how you've managed to collect nearly all the soggy LWJ's of Poorly-Drawn-MDZS into one image. May he absorb all the bad energy in your life and give you sweet dreams!

i'm a big fan of this shot. she's up to no good and trying to make him do no good too. hashtag relationship goals.

[unloneliest]

the problem of the matter is i did internalize so much of what ex friend believed about me. even though i knew he was wrong and knew what was happening and tried to stop it and if i took more action to stop it would have been abusing power i held in a way i couldn't live with myself for.

an actual sentence i heard a guy at work say to someone today: “i was just surprised you didn’t recognize me since you watch anime and are on tiktok”

[thepoisonroom]

too much talk about Knowing What You Want And Knowing How To Get It not enough talk about the people (me) who've never known any of that a day in their life

[blood-mocha-latte]

unrelated and i totally get if you're not interested in asking questions about your career but how did you become a paramedic? how long was your training? I'm hoping to get EMT certification and maybe up it to paramedic eventually, but idk how much that will really interfere with my current career path.

hi love! don’t worry about career asks, i’m totally fine with whatever anyone wants to talk about (i have Chatty Bitch Disease)

and i’m afraid i misspoke because i’m a huge idiot that doesn’t know how to use words, lol! i’m emt registered and was going to become a paramedic, but ended up going to medical school instead and becoming an emergency medicine (em) doctor, working in an er lol. BUT i’ll still outline most of what i did, just in case. i also included things that my sister-in-law did, since she actually is a paramedic, lmao.

under the cut since this is kind of niche <3

becoming a paramedic:

- got high school diploma/ged (she took classes focused in anatomy and physiology, which isn’t required but can help to get you a foothold in what you want to do. i did this as well and highly recommend it)

- doing emt-basic certification training - for both of us, this took about half a year :) it was mainly just going into things like:

how to take vital signs and offering basic life support (i.e. administering oxygen, doing cpr)

other skills like controlling bleeding, taking care of burns, splinting bones, dealing with spinal injuries, and administering limited medication sets

- getting in-field experience! my sister-in-law did this but i didn’t, which i kind of really regret. even though it’s not required, getting more hands-on experience with emt stuff before applying for a program can help you get ahead and feel less lost :)

- complete a paramedic program - this takes about 1-2 years, typically (it took me about 14 months, and my sister-in-law 12, but we went through different programs). training mostly just looks like:

cardiology, dealing with physical trauma, administering meds, airway procedures, etc

field clinical rotations and ambulance runs are also a part of this, which are pretty fun

- getting certified/licensed (this is what my sister-in-law did, i went the opposite route and ended up getting an md, lol)

all states have differences, but you’ll have to take the nremt, which gains you certification as a paramedic. depending on where you live, there are other state requirements as well that would add on to what you would need to do to receive your license.

okay, that’s about it! some of this may be iffy, since this was a while ago and i don’t know where you are in this process/where you live/some of this is by word of mouth, but i hope this is somewhat helpful!

one thing i WILL say about going into anything healthcare is make sure you have the mental toughness for it. medicine isn’t for everyone, and emergency response/intensive care can be incredibly difficult to go through and maintain parts of who you are. i know people who haven’t been able to do it, and myself have troubles with c-ptsd because of it. hours can be rough (for the majority of this year i worked for 24 hours straight with 48 off, this is what a lot of my paramedic buddies do as well) and it can get in the way of life (i had to cut my honeymoon short by 8 days because the hospital needed extra hands).

i don’t mean to scare anyone off, because i love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else, but it can be a difficult field, so make sure you have a strong support system and know what you’re in for :)

thanks for asking! i hope this is both somewhat coherent and what you were asking, lol <3

I love working somewhere that's so fiercely supportive of gay shit. We have a drink of the month sign that one of our gay employees decorated with pride month stuff & someone erased the "pride" in "happy pride month" aka a fuckin micro aggression I guess

Manager is a lesbian and she's like "Oh this is War. I will straight up use company money to decorate the store with flags" bc if some piece of shit customer can't handle a chalkboard sign they're gonna have to deal with So Much More 😊

Sorry to everyone who's ever spoken to me on RA because I was just looking at an email for work and a DM for RA and realized I'm using the same professional tone for both.

[apothecareful]

telling nick about all the stupid things my coworkers and i do on the line to keep each other in a good mood is everything to me rn

[whispering-kavka]

the struggles of today proved to me that i might indeed be a little mentally unwell
