Well another of the 3 amoebas is rapidly approaching taking up residence on my permanent ignore list. The one previously mentioned has not gotten there just yet. But this one, the arrogance and pure stubbornness in the face of facts from people that have been there and talk with some of the people is just ridiculous. Not to mention the expertise they seem to believe they have based on a complete lack of knowledge of the styles and the history they are discussing.

Read several posts from this one last night and the tone of every single one was just annoying.

I have asked questions of this one recently but got no response, either because they are offended that I do not bow to their superior intellect, or they do not have the answer therefore avoid it, or they have but me on ignore. Whatever, I am fully of the belief that MT is a much better place without them.

I shall wait a little longer for answers and then.... they will join the ranks of the permanently ignored. took many years here to add to that list.

Luckily I keep my ostentatious and obstinate behavior subtle and inconspicuous

Sad moment when the RN at the hospital realizes she qualifies for food stamps.....

If I had to live of my current pay, it would be very tight indeed!
At full time, minimum wage, I would not be able to keep the house, pay electric (summer), gas, water, and such things as phone, internet, TV...
let alone food.

And if I had to work another job, I could basically hang myself:
8 hours a day, 1h total commute...and yes, after work I am tired, as it is a physical job.

I read somewhere that you have to make around 22$ an hour as somebody who made 1$ in the 60s, which was minimum wage.
We are clawing to keep what we got, to not slip further back...

You're an RN? RNs in my area get paid pretty well because there is a shortage

You already shunned me...

Heck no.
I don't like people that much.
I think she isn't a full RN though, not sure, but she is one of 'them' upstairs, not one of 'us' downstairs.

I am PLO.

I suspect that the person you're talking about is a CNA or an LPN or something similar. I think the average starting salary for a newly minted RN is something like $45-50K.
Nobody is getting rich on an RNs salary, but it's a comfortable living.
Now, obviously I think it should be higher.
We wade through other peoples body fluids, which is both icky and dangerous.
Peeing during a 12 hour shift is a luxury, which does means you do NOT want to road trip with a bunch of nurses...
At least in the ER, we get verbally abused and physically assaulted on a regular basis.
If we make a mistake, we can kill someone.
If that's not enough, when you do something like flight nursing, you get to add in fun things like being in a helicopter when it's landing and taking off from the side of a mountain, between trees. Or the middle of a road. Or carrying all your gear while you lug a 280 lb, pack a day smoker down to someplace where it was possible to land, because he thought it made sense to travel from sea level to Colorado, and then climb the Manitou Incline (which takes you from 6500 to 8600 feet in less than a mile...)

That's some steep steps looks too much like work

'Environmental Services'
AKA housekeeping.
I mop floors, clean bathrooms and redo vacant rooms.

Thankfully precious few body fluids involved, but a couple of days ago I had like 6 'dress up carts' on my floors: Isolation rooms requiring gowns and junk to enter.

Sounds very much like what Chris did.

EVS might well be the hardest working people in the hospital. We keep 3 busy full time in our ER, and they never stop.
