Speaking of Work

Karma made an appearance. A woman who, a few years ago, made my life difficult at work wound up as my patient. When I worked with her, she made no disguise of the fact that she didn’t like me and did all she could to be a pain in the hindquarters. Why did she do that? Because I was hired to be her boss, and she felt that the position was rightfully hers because she had been there for a long time.

She has Stage 4 cancer and was in a great deal of pain. The cancer was attacking her nervous system, and although it was making her right side go numb, the only sensation it left her with on her right side was pain. You know what I did?

I treated her pain and gave her the absolute best care that I could, because I am a professional. I showed her and her family every bit of the kindness and compassion that she never showed me.

I went to the doctor and asked for an order to give her a full milligram of Dilaudid every hour as needed to control her pain. Cancer is a very painful and horrible way to die, and its victims deserve all of the care and compassion we can provide.

With that, I am leaving on vacation for a few days. Posting will be spotty.

Work Stuff

A woman is in one of my rooms, and her oxygen saturation keeps dropping into the mid 70s. Every time I go in, she is still on the oxygen I placed on her, and her numbers rebound. Suspecting foul play, I watch her from where she can’t see me. As soon as she thinks I am gone, she takes it off.

I go in and confront her, and she complains that it dries out her nose. I point out that it is humidified oxygen. She then tells me that she doesn’t want to wear it. I present her with a choice:

  • You can wear it or
  • refuse to wear it, and when you pass out, we will put a tube down your throat and a machine will breathe for you, or
  • Sign out against medical advice

Those are your choices. The next words out of her mouth were “I want to speak to your boss. You are rude.”

I responded with “I am trying to keep you alive. I make no apologies, but let me go get the charge nurse.”

The charge nurse walked in and told her “You are not going to be taking off that oxygen.”

She went online and gave the hospital a one star review and specifically named me as being mean.

People, I swear.

Terms Accepted

They are losing their collective shit, and they are dumbasses about it. One suggestion is that, since California is the “fifth largest economy in the world” the state should withhold all exports from CA to the rest of the country, because they can make it without the rest of the nation.

My reply? Southern California gets 58% of its water from Lake Mead, you fucking mental midget. Try to grow food in the desert without irrigation.

The left is now saying that they want to form their own militias and are ready to start the Boogaloo. Sorry, embeds to Twitter are still broken.

Jesus Christ on a fucking pogo stick, the left is filled with retards, and they call US the uneducated ones. But you know what, I accept your terms.

Cut Off

I accept your offer, but only if the cities are cut off from the water, food, and energy that they need for the same amount of time. Let’s see what happens.

Edited: Looks like there are issues embedding Twitter again. Here is a picture.

Meltdown

The margin of cheat was not enough to overcome the massive gains that Trump made in the electorate. The odd part is that 20 million Democrat votes simply disappeared between 2020 and 2024. In fact, Kamala did worse than Biden from 2020 in every single county in the nation. If you want to figure out how many votes were fabricated in 2020, I would begin with that number. It’s obvious where those votes went- they were purely fabricated in 2020.

The meltdowns on the left are delicious. They are blaming everything from racism, misogyny, and stupidity to cheating, fascism, and people lying about who they were voting for. There are morons blaming the electoral college, even though Trump won the popular vote.

The Republicans picked up gains in every phase of the election. They won the Presidency and now also have majorities in the Senate and House. In Florida, the Amendments to legalize marijuana and abortion both failed. This was a complete repudiation of everything that the Democrat party stands for. Let’s hope that the Republicans actually use this to their advantage.

Enjoy the day today, but remember that this is only the beginning. I still think that we haven’t seen the end play. The left and the swamp can’t let Trump become president again. They will do something desperate.

Bicyclists

Watch this video to see a couple of bicyclists get in an argument with a local. One of them tries a faggy looking, sloppy spinning kick.

That kick was slow enough that if you try it in a real fight, you are going to get your ass kicked.

One of the interesting things about this video is that the cowboy starts to blade off and reach for his right hip. The two bicycle idiots were about a second away from becoming the subject of some future CCW classes.

I am about tired of dealing with stupid bicyclists. Why do they all have to dress like they are in the Tour de France? Why do they have to take over the road? Even when there is a bike lane or bike path, they still block the road like a bunch of assholes.

I don’t know who instigated what, but I am inclined to believe that the guys on the bikes were just being assholes.

Avoiding the News

The reason my posts for the last couple of days have not been topical is due to one simple fact: I am avoiding the news and reading current events. The wall to wall coverage of the election just got to be too much. It’s a constant barrage of ads for Amendment 3, Amendment 4, and a slew of attack ads for one politician or another.

I miss the political ads where candidates put forth their political positions, but those days are gone. Instead, the only real issue for Democrats is abortion. The only issue for Republicans is that they hate Democrats. The only issue for Harris is that she isn’t Trump. Then there are the ugly comments from both sides, each side calling the other names, then the left complains that they are being attacked.

I just couldn’t do it anymore, so I decided to clean my guns, clean the house, load some magazines, and get a bunch of projects done around the house. I haven’t turned on a TV in over a week.

The election only has two possible outcomes:

  1. The cheat steals the election, tosses Trump in a camp, and begins their 2025 revenge tour, or
  2. (less likely) Trump wins, the left loses their collective shit, and the riots start
