Even more frequently!

RNs always have to let you know they’re RNs. I think it’s part of their training.

I recently moved to a town obsessed with FCS football (hint: they won five damn national championships in a row) and it took me a while to realize that when people incessantly talked about going to Frisco, they meant the Dallas suburb and were not saying San Francisco wrong.

Or not stay at an Airbnb after learning this particular gem of information?

I actually literally gave myself Achilles tendinitis trying to beat my time on those apps and constantly checking my pace. It’s been so much better since I deleted all that stuff off my phone.

I’m trying to think of some counterargument to this involving the NCAA being just as evil, but this is one thing college sports have going - the college team will keep representing the college. Even if individual players or coaches piss you off by splitting, the team entity is still there.

Is it 10 times worse than not being a Michigan fan in Michigan, or 100 times?

I am too (Michigan) and I hadn’t either! And I have known my MIL for 11 years now. Perhaps it’s a new thing that no one bothered to let me in on?

You mean a hat, right? Is calling hats toboggans new in the Midwest? I’m so confused.

I think he means a knit hat, what some people call a beanie. I think it’s a Midwest thing. My mother-in-law (from Indiana) asked me if I wanted my toboggan, and when I gave everyone the blankest of looks, my husband said “YOUR HAT!” Yeah, ok people.

I’m no expert in human anatomy, but it seems rather difficult to throw well with a shoulder that’s not, uh, connected.

The thing is, those of us with non-standard hours and no lunch breaks get really tired of these little pieces that don’t even acknowledge us (if there’s a sentence in there I missed it). Same with people who say “TGIF” and all that shit. Maybe it’s not really a big deal, but it gets old. Non-cubicle workers are a…

I mercifully don’t know much about how human hospitals work, and I’m sure some are way better managed than others. But in such an unpredictable environment, no matter how well managed it is, it’s impossible to guarantee a lunch break. Hospitals also do vary a fair bit in how much funding they have.

Well, NDSU has a better record against the FBS than the Sun Belt against, er, the rest of the FBS. They should really be in the FBS. But from what I can tell living g here, I think the fans really like their big fish small pond setup.

I moved to Fargo six months ago and the “bizzzzzzon” thing still drives me crazy. They’ll even correct you if you say it with the s!

It’s really rarely possible to get enough people to cover so everyone always gets a lunch break. The medical world is just too unpredictable. If you have so many people, then you have some people sitting around a lot of the time, which isn’t functional either. Better managed places have people get lunch breaks more…

I was a veterinary intern! Good grief that was hell.

THANK YOU! I was scrolling to see if anyone brought up things like the health professions before I went on a rant myself. I often get lunch, and try to make a point of getting lunch. When taking my lunch means someone is inconvenienced, I take it. But most of the time, I can’t just walk away. Tasks get started and…

Well, I live in North Dakota and came to make a comment about wondering who all these rich people are, so there you go. It’s an odd place. The rich people either aren’t where I live or don’t flaunt it.

Oddly, Grand Forks is actually more expensive than F/M.
