[06:40:33] <Bytram> accepting a pardon, AIUI, means that guilt is accepted for the pardon to take effect. Not a good position to take when state and civil proceedings may also be in the offing.

[21:15:22] <AzumaHazuki> oh, wow
[21:15:36] <AzumaHazuki> i'm not sure how therapies could be designed on this but that may be down to extreme tiredness
[21:15:52] <Bytram> :D
[21:15:56] <AzumaHazuki> turns out melatonin gives you Silence-of-the-Lambs-caliber nightmares sometimes for no good reason
[21:16:13] <Bytram> ewww.
[21:16:51] * Bytram never saw that movie, but from what I heard I have no interest in learning any more about that movie.
[21:17:55] <AzumaHazuki> imagine being in the IV room, but there's a huge, bloody chute next to the fume hood, and skinned or severed human torsos come down it. still alive, begging you not to kill them or to at least tell their children they love them
[21:18:02] <AzumaHazuki> and it's your job to remove organs
[21:18:20] <AzumaHazuki> what the fuck, brain?
[21:19:07] <Bytram> sounds like one hell of a nightmare... so sorry to hear about it.
[21:20:23] <AzumaHazuki> that's not even close to the worst i've seen either
[21:21:25] <AzumaHazuki> today was really, really fraught. i lost my nerve in there an hour before end of shift and had to revert to a slower, brute-cognitive-force approach rather than letting my body move naturally
[21:22:31] <Bytram> not that I am notintereted, but I am so empathic and hypersensitive, I'd ask you to spare me the details.
[21:22:51] <AzumaHazuki> sorry @_@ i hear you
[21:22:58] <Bytram> that sucks
[21:23:36] <Bytram> has been many a time when i've persisted solely though sheer force of will
[21:24:12] <Bytram> and an unhealthy dose of self-centered fear
[21:24:46] <AzumaHazuki> same here. my nerves are shot. fucking probation bullshit...i've shown i can do the goddamn job and learned it more than twice as fast as any other candidate my trainer has ever had. so what's the holdup?
[21:25:50] <Bytram> protocol? treat everyone the same so there can be no claims of favortism?
[21:26:44] <AzumaHazuki> if i somehow don't pass probation there's going to be hell to pay
[21:26:53] <AzumaHazuki> can't imagine why i wouldn't, but the entire world is insane
[21:26:55] <Bytram> here comes another interesting study
[21:27:00] <Bytram> =asub https://www.sciencedaily.com
[21:27:04] <systemd> Submitting "Everyday activities enhance personal well-being"...
[21:27:25] <systemd> ✓ Sub-ccess! "03Everyday Activities Enhance Personal Well-being" (9 paragraphs) -> https://soylentnews.org
[21:28:32] <AzumaHazuki> i've been walking home from work for about this reason. only takes 30 minutes or so
[21:28:51] <Bytram> seems there is nothing actually going wrong, and everybody makes miskakes, so maybe look at it like you've built up some goodwill to offset any upcoming mistake?
[21:28:56] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki++
[21:28:56] <Bender> karma - azumahazuki: 7
[21:29:42] <AzumaHazuki> i thought i wasted half a vial of Retacrit, an incredibly expensive drug that increases red blood cell formation...idiot dose labeler didn't give me a partial-fill label
[21:29:43] <Bytram> not for health reasons, but I live on the 3rd floor and have no elevator.
[21:29:57] <AzumaHazuki> turns out the stuff's only good for 6 hours once opened anyway and no one else needed one today
[21:30:14] <AzumaHazuki> but, good grief, i must have lost about 50 base pairs off my telomeres
[21:31:43] <Bytram> sometimes, things go wrong in the right way?
[21:33:00] <Bytram> so, could have been bad. but was not, so any worrying would be... useful? productive? wasted energy? It is what it is, accept it, learn from it, be grateful, and move on. Works for me.
[21:33:43] <Bytram> so... you followed "bad" instructions?
[21:33:55] <Bytram> what's wrong with that?
[21:34:23] <AzumaHazuki> no, more like no one really explained how to use the stupid software. some things automatically print "hey, hang onto this in the fume hood" labels, and some don't...even though often you do need to
[21:34:31] <AzumaHazuki> it seems utterly random and gives you no hints whatsoever
[21:34:50] <AzumaHazuki> this training has been kind of shit TBH
[21:36:30] <Bytram> report it to supervisor (or whomever) that the mistake on labels have potentially expensive consequences... how can e save some money, here?
[21:37:09] <AzumaHazuki> the one rule seems to be "if this is something that might, ever, possibly, conceivably be given as an entire vial to a dose, no work in progress label comes out"
[21:37:52] <Bytram> sounds like most places I've worked, except for those things where it is entirely a matter of CYA should brown stuff hit the spinny thingy
[21:38:01] <AzumaHazuki> which is another thing, no one's told me about the best-used-before times for 3/4 of what's in there, what we can or cannot do despite it coming up on the screen etc. i'm just keeping my ears open and asking a lot of questions.
[21:38:55] <AzumaHazuki> some things are good for 6 hours, some for 12, most for 24. but don't get smart and do insulin or blood thinners too early since patient blood draws are done at noon and those might change!
[21:40:07] <Bytram> they are probably more concerned with their own (perceived) challenges and shortcomings. Don't have the mental space to envision anyone elss.
[21:40:45] <AzumaHazuki> i really, really hate going into things blind, or getting conflicting information about things like "which end of an exposed syringe faces the inside of the hood"
[21:41:12] <AzumaHazuki> when this is over i may offer to write up a training outline
[21:43:11] <Bytram> that would be a GREAT idea! take notes each day as you go, to (1) document the misinformation you got and (2)get a start on better information for the future (3) ready-reference should questions come up later.
[21:43:20] <Bytram> ugh... gtg
[21:43:39] <Bytram> has been chatting with you -- hope the rest of your day goes well!
[21:43:46] <Bytram> ciao for now
[21:44:33] <AzumaHazuki> hope you sleep well
[22:00:15] <Bytram> me too, but that does not come for several more hours. have a meeting to attend.
