not to be a hater but I'm so tired of the lukewarm take that padme should have gotten with obi-wan instead of Anakin and in fact would have "if a woman wrote star wars". I don't care who's hotter! (it's obi-wan) obi-wan isn't emotionally available, physically available, anything. the whole point is that Anakin is a rule breaker while obi-wan isn't, and his secret relationship only drives a wedge between him and the people who would help him not fall to the dark side. like. if you like padme/obi-wan that much there is fanfic. if you just think obi-wan is hot there is fanfic for that too. but I'm really over seeing "it's unrealistic"

‘Pep Guardiola commands respect almost exclusively via the melting power of his brain rather than any superior charm or wit or taste in music. (It’s certainly not his wit; Guardiola has what could be very charitably described as a dentist’s sense of humour.)’
‘Even Mikel Arteta has a vague sort of steely-eyed charisma, behind the weird rants and staring, accusatory eyes.’
‘Emery’s schtick is to not have a schtick whatsoever.’
loved reading these articles and i needed to save them somewhere. hopefully someone else finds them as funny as i do 🫶

// If Team Present ( Splatoon 3 ) doesn't win popularity, at the VERY least... this is so rigged. 90% of my matches have been against my own people. 😭
Anyways, I have a 3 day weekend ( that I purposely requested for Splatfest, shh ), which means I can be here finally! Thank you all for your patience, as usual, and I hope you've been well!

Rant because yesterday I saw my fucking unit manager eat a chocolate bouquet with my name on it and it was the last fucking straw
My management at work is shite.
They pick on you if you have more than 3 episodes of absences even if you acquired the sickness at work or if it was just for a day for a chronic condition they know you have and promised not to count into the absences. Even if you're not supposed to come in sick to not get vulnerable people sick.
They give you speeches about poor care and complaints from relatives (which, I do think the complaints are justified) and also give you a ratio of 1:5 of nursing stuff (nurses and assistants total) in a high dependency all-care in bed unit. When you show them you physically need another 18h of labour on shift (so another 2 people) they say to ask for help from other sections, who have the same ratios and also need another person minimum. We're drowning in new admissions and delayed care and they come and ask you if you tidied up the med cupboard yet today. They never see patients themselves, not even when we can't manage on the floor.
They do infection control audits and dunk you down on things you know doctors and not nurses are doing. They send you to extra training during working hours and complain you didn't do all your on the unit work a few hours later. They don't allocate time for elearning and tell you to just do it when you're not busy - like there's ever a time like that.
But you know what is annoying me the most right now?
We try our best and we're good at it and the patients and relatives appreciate the care we give them. They bring gifts - to the people who feed their mums every day, who helped their dads walk again, who help their nanas have a wash and braided their hair, who change their dressings and clean their teeth and mouth, who check on them four times a day minimum, who get them their medication on time despite those horrible staffing ratios, and who escalate to doctors who don't want to listen (mostly because they're also busy).
And the patients and their families, they bring gifts. Cards, chocolates, shop vouchers with nurse's names. Little pens, lanyards, bath salts, candles. Juice and squash, coffee pods, tea bags.
And you know where it all goes? To the management office
We're not allowed to put it in our staff room. Don't know why but I've been told off for putting chocolate boxes in there. It always has to go to the office first and maybe some time after, the manger will put it in the staff room if she feels like it.
And you know what happens once those gifts land in that office? We, the people who actually provide the care 24/7, and get praises despite operating on 2/3 of the staffing we need, we don't see them ever again
