I haven’t seen this movie and at this point I’m so over the hype it’s going to be at least 25 years before I’m willing to reconsider.

It’s a girl it’s a girl it’s a girl I’m having a baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

I had a baby! His name is Edward Douglas and he was born the day after Valentine’s Day. He’s pretty much the love of my life even though I’m breastfeeding like 8 hours a day and I’m stupid tired. I was really scared about post-partum depression because I am higher risk for it (my mom had it, I have had prior bouts of…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hey Jezzies! I have an auntie win to share! (I’m the one raising my nephew).

My nephew was picked as student of the month in his class for how much he’s improved in reading! He’s in first grade. He came to me in August barely reading more than his name and simple things like “cat”*, so it’s been one of our big…

I GOT THE JOB. I GOT THE JOB. I GOT THE JOB!!!!! We just have to make it through March and we will be OK. I am about a week out from being able to reclaim unemployment but I am not sure how that will work. I am assuming I won’t qualify but I am going to try. I did a modest means application but you have to be working…

I once realized how smart one of my friends was a guy she had been hooking up with broke up with his girlfriend and then asked my friend to go out with him. She looked that sucker dead in the eye and said “why the hell would I want to go out with you? You cheat on your girlfriends.”

I have older siblings and am an older brother to my younger sister. When we were in elementary school some boys were teasing my sister and her friends one day at recess. I got wind of this (I would have been in 4th grade maybe and that sister in 2nd grade) and went over to the boys and told them to “fuck off.” I had…

The patient was in SVT, a superfast heart rhythm that doesn’t really pump blood too well. The pulse at the apex was WAY over 200, the pulse at the wrist was 40. So you see...the patient was crashing. The doctor, a psycho bully bitch, kept screaming, PUSH ATROPINE! because panic. She needed adenosine, but atropine is…

Wow.  Thank you.

I had a similar situation - A kid who had assaulted my kiddo in the past ran up to him in the hallway and punched him in the head before running off and yelling. 8th grade, these kids are not tiny. Luckily, he was a crappy puncher, but I’m not willing to risk my kid’s brain, so I had had ENOUGH.

That’s a huge deal, fair play to you! 

You rock

I used to go to an LA Fitness. Nice gym and all, now I have a home treadmill.

My sister was in 5th grade, and I was in 2nd grade. She was quiet, shy and always did the right thing. I was (am) loud, obnoxious and usually did the right thing after trying the bad thing first. One day, she came home from school crying that the girl bully in her class was cheating off her during tests. My sister was …

I used to be a barmaid in a remote Australian town that had a large Aboriginal population and was so, so racist. The pub had two bars in separate rooms, connected by an opening behind the bar so the bar staff could move easily between them.

Some little shithead was hitting my six-year-old kid at recess. We talked to the teacher and the principal multiple times to no avail. (We don’t know who is doing it, your child only mentions it after-the-fact, etc)

I used to work in a government subsidy program that paid for child care for needy families. I had an 86 year old client who was caring for her 3 grandchildren ages 5-10 in my caseload. She missed an appointment and I had to initiate a termination of her case. She didn’t get in contact until the day after her case…

I stood up for a person and for being a decent friend in general. One of my best friends now was being bullied by her “friends”at school. One of them told her that she couldn’t eat lunch with them because she wasn’t cool anymore. I heard this from my seat in class and got PISSED. I didn’t really know the chick at the…

I recently stood up for equal pay during a contract negotiation, in particular the fact that dividing new starts in six month periods meant half the intake will get no pay increment while half would. Come a month later my issue becomes official negotiation policy so we all get equal treatment. I will also be making a…
