STOOOPPP FIGHTINNG!

in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying

well that’s just the risk you take if you decide to teach creative writing

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

Good news. At work today I heard her and some of the other coworkers recounting the retreat, so I went over and I told her "Just so you know, and I mean this genuinely, sincerely, with all love in my heart and not a negative feeling in my body, asking someone their pronouns while you are drunk as a skunk is the funniest thing I've ever seen."

She had absolutely no memory of the conversation of course, but cracked up upon hearing it. When I told her that "They/them/thy" is branded into my brain forever, she immediately went "Pop OFF, your honor!"

So apparently she is exactly as funny when sober.

I’m training the most Gen Z person I’ve ever hung out with, and in addition to being smart and quick, she’s delightful to me specifically as an Old Person (30). She is so linguistically Gen Z, I absolutely love it. We were talking about a patient of ours who wants to maintain a level of independence that some of the floor think is unsafe, but the patient has a lot of support in the room and frankly this is what the patient values more than anything else so we should support that. But it’s not ideal Fall Prevention. Anyway, we’re talking about this and how day shift will probably not stick to the plan we’ve developed tonight, and she goes, fuming, “pov you’re a nurse advocating for your patient but no one listens to you” and I have just been repeating that to myself for hours

God she’s fabulous. I just got to hear the sentence, “all of our patients seem equally medically stable so let’s go check in with our catatonic girlie first”

Good news, our catatonic girlie is gucci
