Overnight Workers Unite

[Deleted]

I wish I had some advice on the topic.

The best thing I can think of is to shoot her down when she brings up the topic. You politely say I am not at a point where I am comfortable discussing anything right now. I appreciate your support and when I am ready to talk I will let you know.

To answer the top half of your post. I have narcolepsy. My nighttime sleep patterns are a mess. Some nights I go out like a night, most nights not so much.

[nuggetrn]

Ugh, I am sorry you went through that with her. I agree, gossip is not ok... And starting a conversation like that without first asking you if you are up to talking about it is really really not ok. Big hugs

I am a nurse, I work overnight every other weekend and it's pretty easy going. My patient was sick this week but she seems much better now. Yay. So just kinda boring. She sleeps while I get to stay awake

OH YES, if she ever tries to mention it again I will. She just went ahead and said her piece without asking how I was doing, if I wanted to talk about it or what I wanted to do next.
She assumed that she knew it all from whatever she heard about me or whatever she learned in school I guess.
Why wouldn't you start that conversation with whats going on , do you want to talk about it? Common sense...

Never assume anyone has. common sense.

The saying goes, Never assume anything, it makes an ass out of you and me.

Nugget is cool too. Very wise for being only 12 years old.

I'm sorry your narcolepsy keeps you awake, but I am super glad your here for now. I vented and don't want to be a downer all night. Whats going on with you?

No debbie downers. I will probably be awake for another hour, but housecarder and the TheEleventhHour are overnighters too.

Wallie - I expected better from her. Being a long time friend and soon therapist.

nuggetrn- HI! Also awake while my residents sleep . Boring, but I like boring better than crisis, any one stupid you want to vent about?

Boring is definitely better than crisis!! I agree.

Oh man, if I started venting now I don't think I would ever stop. I need to focus on other things right now.

I work in crisis intervention. The most difficult people I work with all day are my coworkers. The girl that sits closest to me is starting to make me twitch.

They are done and we don't owe anymore than I thought we would. So definitely not a complaint.

DH is all upset we don't get a return. I had to explain to him that Just means we get more money throughout the year. He's being silly.

OMG, she has acrylic nails and taps them on her fucking desk all day.

She never answers the phone. It is a fucking crisis center. Everyone is required to answer the phone.

She refers to parents as bitches and kids as pains. She is 6 months out of a master's program and already complaining she is burned out.

I need to locate forms. We have been at my MIL's since October and I can't function in such a tight space much longer.

Answer your phone woman!! So irritating.

Not good. She doesn't sound built for this

It's first real job. She has an MSW because she really wants to "help" people. She said recently that she wants to be a foster mom. It makes me nervous because she is pretty much lives out of her car. Her BF won't let her keep anything in his apartment even though she is there almost 5 nights away.

[nuggetrn]

This is a test. I hope it's nothing embarrassing. Lol. Trying to copy a gif I think? Phone is being weird.

I tried to edit and you quoted me to fast.
Her BF randomly went to high school with MH. He's about 15 years older than her, and just not a nice person. When MH found that it was him he asked me not to get friendly so we wouldn't have to hang out.

I have a coworker who is 19, and just not all there. She wants to help people but doesn't know the difference between help and enabling yet. Pretty naïve. I probably was too. I got into human services at 20

I was 23. I think her age plays less of a role than her ego. She thinks she is hot shit for some unknown reason.

She actually likes to be seen as intimidating. ****Spoiler Alert**** She just comes off as bratty.

Sometimes I still feel very naive about certain situations, but I also feel like I am very self aware in regards to the fact that I don't have a ton of experience. I definitely try to seek out the opinions of those who have been around longer than me. Sometimes I still have to form my own opinions that and up bro g much different than coworkers... And admittedly in the nursing profession I am still young and hopeful and not quite as bitter and cynical as some of my older coworkers. I still think that we both are right in a way though, and I definitely respect the opinions of those who have been around longer than me.

All that to say that it just amazes me, these young people just starting out in their fields who think they know it all and can do all. I am good at what I do, but I definitely still have stuff to learn. Not afraid to admit that. Just don't tell my patients
