47 minutes into my day is when I wanted to rage quit.
No, executing people in the street being bad is not a controversial opinion. 😡

Thursday was good. I hung out with new nurses all day.
Friday: about 2 1/2 hours before I wanted to rage quit.
Looking forward to a frigid and snowy weekend!

I think I made it through 2 entire work days without wanting to rage quit!
I did roll my eyes quite a few times on Friday, but Tuesday was spent mostly with orientees, which I always enjoy.
Working from home today (Weds), so the likelihood of wanting to rage quote is much lower, ‘cause dogs! 🥰

Today was a surprising day … I only wanted to regular quit most of the day. There weren’t any particular points of rage. 🤷🏼♀️

I am at work, onboarding new grad nurses, reverting BLS & ACLS for staff, updating orientee schedules, and finishing updates to our nursing site orientation program … but I’d rather be at home reading Twelve Months, the new Harry Dresden book that came out today!!

This is an important message.
Flonase? Use that longer term.
Afrin? It will eff you up if you use it longer than 3 days!

Since everyone is sick, I feel it is my duty to remind you all that Afrin is not a long term medication. Three consecutive days maximum.

Had a meeting earlier about improving certain metrics.
The suggestion by the experts was exactly what I suggested 2 1/2 years ago.
Except I was shot down then. No good reason, other than I was new and don’t know how things ran around here.
It’s almost as if I know what I’m talking about. Almost.🤷🏼♀️

Did I tell you guys that I recently found out that I’ve been spelling my middle name incorrectly for most of my life?
And I have several legal documents with the incorrect spelling? 😂😂😂
My bio-dad misspelled it on my original birth certificate and mom just spelled it the way she had intended. 😂

I was at work for 20 minutes when I wanted to rage quit the first time today.
Woohoo!
Please note that I always want to quit and be a stay at home dog mom, but the rage quit moments are when I find out about shit my nurses are forced to deal with, because there is nothing I can do about it.

I got to do one of my very favorite things to do as a nurse educator today: thank one of my nurses for trusting me.
One of my nurses is working on a Big Decision, and they asked my advice, and to keep it to myself.
Earning trust in a toxic environment is such a blessing. 🥰

Had a dude from an armored car company doing a pickup here this morning. Dude was wearing a ballistic vest and had a weapon strapped across his chest, which isn’t out of the ordinary for his job.
He had ZERO ID on his outer wear and was wearing something like a balaclava.
Bruh. Read the room. 😡

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

It was actually less time than that, but the conversation that sparked the rage don’t end until 72 minutes after I got here.

For posterity, I started on my first day back at work after the holidays (1/5/26).

1000000% doing this next time I go to my crap PCP, just to screw with him because I don’t like him.
I mean, probably getting a new PCP that would have fun with this would be a better solution, but who has time for that? 😂
