Working a double. Glad I'm not in a position where that's a thing because that would literally kill me. They're always exhausting but there was a time when it was worth it for the money or blowing through your per diem quota in a weekend. But now I have kids and would die.

In which nursing is a tiring profession.

Exhausted

So tired. Double shift today. Usually I can catch a power nap in a staff room between shifts, but I was on the fourth floor in South and sleeping in that break room will give you nightmares about a falcon-headed man chasing you through the streets of Boston with a rake. And boy is Boston a confusing city to navigate.

An above average night of sleep following two good nights following two good ones and I feel wrecked.

With the government shutdown continuing, the Department of Metaphors had to close. Thus everything is happening literally now.

While we're on the subject, have you seen my phone?

I hear he has a tattoo on his back that says "The Bart, The!"

At least we'll get a halfway decent SNL sketch out of this

Since the historical rebuttal is well in hand here, I'll just point out that the guy who actually weilded Anduril was in his 90s when he started having kids, and his partner was pushing three thousand.

I like how Ultimate universe was able to more smoothly link the origins of the various characters, like how Ultimate Of Mice and Men and Ultimate Grapes of Wrath established that Norman Osborne caused the dust bowl.

...or did you mean "ultimate" as in "the most ever"? I'll see myself out...

Few things feel better than when you figure out a twist in a show like 15 minutes before it lands. Double if you didn't know there was going to be a twist, you were just idly speculating.

My way of saying I just caught up through episode 6 of Peacemaker season 2.

How are white men supposed to identify with a movement where all the leaders who look like them turn out to be sex pests, Nazis, or blowhards?

...honestly can't remember if the joke I was going for was that white men cant identify with other people or that white male candidates are always terrible

Regency protagonists claiming not to read novels was apparently enough of trope that Jane Austin felt the need to include a rant about it in Northanger Abbey. Might be more to it though, that book is pretty meta.

TFW when you call out to take care of your sick kid knowing that in 2 days you'll be sick, your PTO is gone, and they'll be bouncing off the walls again.

This is the correct way to look at it. In pharmacotherapy there are usually a dozen nearly identical meds treating one thing. For a lot of people one is as good as another but for some one specific one will be life changing/saving. A doc who insists on one all the time always isn't doing it right.

Were local rulers taking too big a cut of the loot?

Were parties running into each other in the depths, leading to bloodshed?

Did older adventurers want to find a way to get a cut from the younger ones?

Are there dungeoneering secrets that need to be preserved and passed on?

First off, the fact that murder hobos unionized implies enough dungeon delvers to make collectivization worthwhile and lots of dungeons to support them. It also implies a reason that banding together was worth the effort. What was that?

My childhood bedroom was full of unused sticker books, and no, I don't have a tattoo.

Hard to understand people coming up on the 90s and oughts and not having that experience. They remain in my top 5 favorite things to shoot.
