  1. I forgot until I got here how much I miss this place when I don't come around.

    We're doing ok here, I'm on the opposite end of the work from home scale.   We haven't had any cases in the town I live in yet but it's coming and probably soon and the small hospital I work at could easily get overwhelmed.  My town is mostly shut down, no schools, no restaurants or bars open, most businesses closed, limited hours at grocery stores etc.  I'm isolating as much as I can but the odds of me getting exposed at work are pretty high no matter how careful I am.

  2. So I retract some of my earlier thoughts that a lot of the kindness isn't genuine.  We had a snowstorm here the other day and my daughter put my car in the ditch. Nothing serious just a little ditch, no one was hurt and no damage, she just couldn't get out due to the snow.  And in the 15 minutes or so it took me and my son to get over there with his truck to pull her out she had at least 5 people stop to see if she needed help.  So there are a lot of genuinely kind people here I'm just really cynical and bitter lately.

  3. It makes me happy I only have to work 4 more hours and then I'm off for 2 days, the full moon craziness is already starting, I've got one resident singing at the top of her lungs (had to bring her roommate out by me so she could sleep) and I just found another one in the bed he had just made himself on the floor (cause it's cooler down there)

  4. Being in a small town in the Midwest I've found a lot of people are excessively nice, but it's rarely genuine.  There's a lot of nice to your face and then stab you in the back.  There's also this noise Midwesterners make when they bump into someone, "ope' that I only recently realised I make too lol.  Even like black friday shopping here people still say excuse me if they run into you.  Hell I've said sorry to inanimate objects...  >.<

    It's also my job to be nice to people even when they're verbally or physically abusing me so I run a little short on nice outside of work sometimes but it's pretty ingrained in me.
