Leaving the tide pools. Possibly even forming proteins to begin with. I much more enjoyed being stardust.

I just wanted you to know that not only did your joke amuse me, but I have also forwarded it to several friends who I am almost certain will also enjoy it. Your joy is spreading throughout the world.

What are things most people would be surprised are requirements to hold the job you have? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Situational awareness. I've had people look me up and down and ask how I handle the patient population I do considering I'm kinda skinny-fat and like

a) I'm a lot stronger than I look, especially with adrenaline in me one time I picked up one of the weighted dayroom chairs because I needed to get to a patient and it was in my way

b) 99% of it isn't even fighting people anyway it's mostly just having an ear for bullshit. One time we had a patient set off one of the safety alarms in their room and waited in the dark behind the door for someone to come answer it. I got there, saw the darkened room with the weird alarm going off and just noped the fuck out and called security.

If you have the common sense of every guy in the horror film that says,"Absofuckinglutely not" (and you don't mind being paid pennies) psychiatric nursing calls to you.

I mean I've done this like 5 times over the past decade all with the same results, so it's been working for me!

Every single time whatever I needed fixed was done within the week!

Brains that run faster than average are very cool and impressive to people who don't have to live in them.

Damn. That show got weird.

What red flags? He's a solid, hardworking, and nonjudgmental family man! Unless in the later seasons I haven't seen he becomes a shithead?

Zuko from AtLA, but part of that was also a deep experiential empathy for his character growth arc. Also sometimes having undefined gender issues at the same time makes it really hard to tell whether a feeling like that is attraction or envy.

One of my favorites in highschool and made EDM my favorite genre (well, that and playing speed over Beethoven in DDR). My faves now are apashe and avicii. If anyone knows any EDM that incorporates classical elements (especially strings and/or piano) I am ALL ears.

This was like two years ago and I've never had an issue. Have some faith in humans.

When did you know a career was either the perfect or the worst match for your personality? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they're in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like "do you prefer to work sitting or moving around," "do you want to not work weekends" etc.

Mine is fresh highschool graduates getting 2 weeks of training to go work acute, all-male forensic psychiatry. We're taking criminally insane men who are unsafe to put on a unit with criminally insane women.

...and they would send fresh high school graduates (often girls because hospitals in general tend to be female-dominated) in the yoga pants and club makeup they think are proffessional because they literally have 0 previous work experience to sit suicide watch for criminally insane rapists who said they were suicidal because they knew they would send some 18y/o who doesn't know any better to sit with them. It went about how you would expect the hundreds of times I watched it happen.

My favorite float technician was the 60 year old guy who was super gassy and looked like an off-season Santa. Everybody hated that guy because they said he was super lazy but he would sit suicide watch all fucking shift without complaining and he almost never failed to dissapoint a sex pest who thought they were gonna get some eye candy (or worse).

What's your example?

What vital task did you not realize someone was doing regularly until they suddenly stopped? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Could be a partner, roommate, coworker, or somebody you volunteered with. They could have stopped for any reason from leaving, getting sick or hurt or even dying to just getting sick of doing that one thing and stopping.

When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life? (sh.itjust.works)
 

When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school.

What's yours?

What hobbies or volunteer work require creative problem solving from lots of different areas? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I'll just randomly throw some basic geometry or algebra into a project, but I was also an art student so I'm not half bad at making things visually appealing either.

I have a job where I often get a chance to use my various areas of semi-expertise when I pick up a side project, but that's led me into getting waaay overinvolved in my work and neglecting my outside relationships. What hobbies or other non-professional things could I get involved in that would give me that same opportunity to flex my creativity when solving a problem?

Best advice columnists? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Like in the same vein as Ask Amy or Dear Prudence. I'm trying to get away from Best of Redditor Updates but I'm not ready to quit my "oh no she didn't!" addiction just yet.

Most unique looking celebrities? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It's been helpful to study celebrity faces because it's easy to find numerous reference photos. I've actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it's been harder to find unique looking women or darker skinned people of any gender! Idk if I just don't know as many actors in those demographics, or if it's just harder to break into Hollywood as a weird looking person without also being white and male, but it's probably some combination of the two.

What're y'alls suggestions?

If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I wouldn't dare defile Douglas Adam's memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  1. never lie.
  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers "I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring" or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad.

What're yours?
