Nurse Do All The Doctor's Bitch Work

A doctor's elevator joke: max capacity 13 people, or 4 nurses

Why are there so many Fat Nurses? Should not being a nurse makes you value good health? You think they would know the value of good health.

Here is what happens according to my nurse friend experience: It's mostly because the way the job is. Sleep routine messes them up, effecting their hormones. In my country where 1 nurse has to take care of 8 patients, they're walking up and down all day, lifting patients up all by themselves with horrible form which ends up causing long term back problems. When they take a break they usually stuff themselves down with hospital food which consists mostly of sugary white bread, jello, crackers and all that stuff just to ease the mind from all the pressure. Then when they get older they sit in a office signing papers all day so their asses get triple size. 

But the truth is not every one is fat. If you see nursing as a job it's more definite that you'll get fat because after a while you get tired, you stop believing in the principles of nursing and you end up not giving a shit anymore (It's a job that you have to love, have patients and courage in order to do). I've met some male nurses who were actually ripped and some female with great bods. It also depends on the department they are on.

Perseverance only takes you so far

The beauty of life.

Mystery and adventure.

Everyone out there seeks some sort of solution, escape, or salvation, and somewhere out there, it exists. Somewhere out there, is the solution to everybody's problems. No matter what.

Somewhere out there is that one movie that you've never seen or book you've never read or song you've never heard or game you've never played, but if you do it would become your favorite of all time. Somewhere out there is that one job that's just right for you. Somewhere out there is the professional who knows the loophole that you can exploit if you still want food on your table. Somewhere out there, there is that one girl or guy who would fuck you regardless of how unattractive or disfigured you are.

And one thing that I find most unfair about this world, is that the people who died unhappy, didn't die that way because what they were looking for didn't exist. It is because it did exist, and probably still does. They just couldn't find it. I don't know whether or not to take comfort in the thought that even if you find the "solution, escape, or salvation", you'll have a new problem that requires a new "solution, escape, or salvation" the next day.

People will never be happy or satisfied, it's just part of being human. Evolution made us that way because that longing for the solution made us better animals.

You know what I think the saddest thing about life is?

what I will bring to the company?


What do you say when an interviewer asks you: what you will bring to the company?
(I have no skills or anything)

Honesty?

Enthusiasm (insert some reason why you want this job and are willing to work damn hard) and the willingness to acquire new skills (to keep the job and get promotions.)

I'm good at x, y, and z.
In the past I have done a, b, and c with great results.
I'm a hard worker and a fast learner.

Confidence isn't something that you find, it's something you build and create within yourself. You've got the logic backwards. You don't become confident and then do the things you were afraid of, you do the things you're afraid of while you're not confident and then become confident as you grow.

Why do you need motivation if you're already happy?


I'm hoping to get some freelance work. I just had a conversation with my friends, mom, all high about why I don't have a job, and haven't even been looking for one.. I guess I'm just happy with coasting through life, making just barely enough to get by, maybe doing a few odds and ends to get enough to cover bills.. Shouldn't there be something more to life? Or at least, everybody tells me so.. I want to learn some skilled trades. It's like your regular shitty day job except it pays better.

And my thoughts exactly, do what I love, and I guess hope it pays the bills. I don't exactly care about money so that I have to have tons of it. Nice things are.. nice, but not necessary. To hell with that I do exactly what I am comfortable with.
