Holobean - The Shiny Holo-foil

I've been told to do this my whole life...there are very few occasions that it actually hasn't worked.

Sooooo, I work in an ER as a patient access representative (fancy way of saying I take information from patients and work with insurance) and let me tell you how much trouble that hospital can get into for taking to you like that. If you recorded them and took it to court, dear lord there's no telling the shit storm that would ensue! The reason being, if they treat you like that over the phone, and then you go out and do something and get seriously hurt or die, then they can be held liable for not making you feel welcome to come in and be treated. And heaven forbid of you were actually in the ER and before you checked in, they treated you like that and then you left. Without getting too far into the endless responsibilities we get as non-clinical workers! We answer the phones for the ER and if someone calls in/walks in asking if they could be seen for suicidal ideation (or anything really) we have prompts that we have to say such as "Of course, we'd be more than happy to see you/help you! Please, come on in/Sign in so we can have a nurse triage you and take you to your room!" If directions are needed, we can give them directions, if they need to speak to a nurse directly, we can transfer the call to one/ask one to meet us in the lobby. There's never any reason for someone to be rude and make you feel unwelcome at a hospital where you are going to make you feel better/healthy!! I'm so sorry that this happened to you when you were feeling like this and I hope you did eventually get some help. :/

I tried to ask a place about being hospitalized bc of suicidal/self harm things and the lady on the phone was the rudest piece of shit and would just keep yelling at me to go to the ER “if it was that bad” and stop wasting her/everyone else’s time and if that doesn’t give you a good idea of how much those places really want to “help” idk what will

My current mood. .___.

Its amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t want to write an essay 

I was thinking about how that last one wasn't true for me... Until I realized it was because I was taking offense to it because !!of course I'm not that way...<.< so, this is accurate. Lol

Things you should probably avoid doing to your INFJ if you want to stay on their good side…

Treat us or anyone else with disrespect or lack or morality Treating someone with lack of respect is a very effective way of angering or upsetting an INFJ as we believe in equality, morality kindness,...

I can't even begin to explain how much I can relate to this right now.

Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?

After spending a week with the 6.25“x10” Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.

puppy is understandably confused about everything in life

When I was 16, I had a fake I.D. and decided to go to a gay bar by myself because some friends bailed on me. While there, an older gentleman bought me a drink. He wasn’t a creeper, and he definitely wasn’t unattractive. I accepted the drink and began talking to him. No big deal. As the hour progressed, I felt myself feeling strange. I mentioned that I felt like I had a headache, and this guy helped guide me out of the bar. As we were walking down the street, the thought of, ‘Oh god, he’s drugged me, I’m going to die’ came to my head. I tried to get away, but I was so drugged up that I could barely walk, let alone speak. It also didn’t help that I had really large ‘goth’ platform shoes because I was going through a phase. Anyway, this guy brought me to his suv and began undressing me. As a final act of defiance, I hit him over the head with my platform shoe. He then punched me, and I remember thinking, ‘Why don’t they ever give workshops to gay guys about being victims of rape too?’ While I was as careful as possible, I never saw the guy slip something in the drink. I even watched the bar tender make the drink. Anyway, I lied there completely paralyzed while this pervert was lubing up. I locked eyes with his for a moment, and that’s when it happened. A very large and angry drag queen opened the door of the vehicle and beat the shit out of my attempted rapist. She and her other drag friends helped dress and care for me while the police arrived. I was saved by a group of guardian drag queens. They were basically the modern day ‘angels from heaven.’

Mmm, maybe I'll watch Howl's Moving Castle tonight. :3

I don’t know the source but amazing advice.
