Working in the emergency department is just:
- Seeing 5 people with colds who shouldn’t be here
- Someone with diabetes who just chugged a Big Gulp Soda
- Mystery Abdominal Pain
- An old person who fell and somehow broke every bone in their body
- Seeing the happiest healthiest baby ever with parents who look like they haven’t slept in 3 days because the baby sneezed (I don’t mind these patients - cute baby, knowing the cute baby is cared for, and easing people’s worry? Great time)
- Someone who got in a car accident 2 days ago and just now decided to get checked out and is about to learn about whiplash
- Someone who didn’t try any OTC medication for their symptoms before coming and is about to get the most expensive Acetaminophen & Ibuprofen of their lives
- An interaction that changes your life; that leaves you with a deep sadness but also hope and a certainty that despite everything, in their hearts people are good and want to love one another
- A 3ppd smoker with diagnosed COPD who decided today is the day to figure out that cough they’ve had for 5 years
- Homeless people who just want to get out of the elements and have a snack you want to help but can’t
- Someone who will scream at you for not prescribing antibiotics for a viral infection
- Someone with 13 heart stents who vehemently denies any heart problems because “they fixed it!”
- Someone who just invented a new way to take medication wrong

I've always loved the look of tv!Master Chief in his undersuit, so I did my best to recreate my very own action figure undersuit!John. 😇😉
Click to make bigger. Now, granted, people with steadier hands than I could've painted details on the suit to make it more authentic but, well, ya girl has to work with what ya girl has to work with. 🤷♀️😉
The recipe, if you're interested, is a Valaverse Action Force Special Ops trooper body and the Star Wars Black Series Axe Woves head. They did not swap easily, I should warn, but it's doable. 😉
I really love him and am so glad to have him on my desk at long last! ⭐💖⭐

I want that new money, crisp money
Straight from the mint money
Fresh money, young money
Push against the tide
Hey, we ride, we ride
Don't want that old money, clean money
Comes-with-strings money
Cold money, funny money
Push against the tide

MiqoMarch'24, Day #16: - twilight -
Every now and then when he watches the sun slowly sink beyond horizon, he catches glimpses of a far-flung memory. A past life where he is not D'nyr, but Polydeuces, where he is whole and happy and surrounded by many friends…
He is taller too (though not by much; he still appears shorter than most of his colleagues!), with slightly longer and more tousled hair, his fringe pinned back on one side by a silver circlet-- it seems he is forever destined to have one eye left beset by hair-- and when the light hits, his face appears almost softer without his signature X-shaped scar.
Part of the Convocation of Fourteen, his title was Theidos* the Recordkeeper and his role was to maintain and safeguard mankind's accumulated wisdom, an accolade which paired well with his main vocation as the Chief Archivist of Anamnesis Anyder. During the early stages of the Final Days, he sought assistance from colleagues like The Watcher (as well as from Hythlodaeus, Chief of the Bureau of the Architect) to develop a mobile version of Anamnesis which could be used as a fortress and sanctuary both, one that could protect the treasures and knowledge of the current age and carry them on safely into the future; a concept he dubbed "Alexander".
As time grew short he would entrust his position to his senior-most advisor and step down in order to fully pursue these plans, however the advent of Zodiark and the schism that ensued upon its summoning threw a spanner in the works, and not just for the loss of a friend and collaborator-- although not a part of it, he was of course well aware of Venat's group due to his ties to Anamnesis Anyder, and in agreement with their views he cast aside his title of Theidos. In response to this, his Convocation-related belongings were seized with the drafts along with them and, left powerless in the wake of cataclysm, he fled…
(These designs were later repurposed by the Ascians for their own ends in ushering in the Rejoining, and fragments would find their way to others through mysterious means, inspiring the actualisation of Alexander and everything that entailed!)
*from the Greek thymámai (to memorize) + eîdos (form); my WoL's lore has no Azem as I drafted this all at the time of base-ShB expac release when we knew close to nothing about the Ancients, and I haven't got an interest in retconning it to fit :')
(yes there is a Castor out there somewhere but he'll have to be on a free day bc none of the upcoming prompts make sense to introduce him on)

Speaking of work I find it really annoying that we were forbidden from mentioning Halloween or doing or displaying anything remotely "spooky" (even cutesy spooky) but starting today is COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS dress-up days. Pick a lane!
