It depends on the setting your are listening to and reading the books. I listen to audio books on my daily commute.

So if you are listening to one book for the soul sucking drive and another to relax at the end of the day…

I started listening to Stephen King’s IT.

I have read and listened a number of his books, but never IT. I am only three chapters into to it and so far It is King at the top of his game.

The reason your co-workers in the Emergency Department babble inane stuff to each other is it is a coping mechanism for all the brutal self destructive shit they see people do to themselves and to each other.

I’ve always have such issues working for other employers.

OP this is a key statement…

It’s like they believe the talkative ones over me. Why would I want to work for people like that?

OP you have had this same problem at other workplaces. You don’t feel a need to change your behavior.

Not wanting to chit chat at work is completely reasonable in some professions, IT, research, laboratory work and so on. ED Nursing is not one of those professions. Nursing is all about executing a care plan as part of a team. Your managers are not believing your co-workers over you, your managers are confirming what you already know about yourself.

If you do have a disability/special needs you need to get that documented and inform your organization so the organization can create a reasonable accommodation.

I think you need to some self evaluation and see if there is a speciality of nursing that has limited contact with people.

I know that there are doctors who spend their days doing nothing but chart reviews. Is that something a nurse can do.

How does a socially inept, introverted person survive at work?

They find a profession that a socially inept introverted person can do.

None. My folks didn’t have any rules about games. Then again my parents really didn’t do rules.

Nope

Kids falling over is hilarious,

Yeah.

When you are 30+ a 10+ age gap is not as significant.

LMAO

Between your cheeks but it does not go inside you.

No thanks

My mom took in one of my sister’s friends she was fine. When I left for undergrad my mom took in an additional one my sister’s friends and it was a total disaster.

Those kids had fucked up home lives, in the first case it was the parents issues in the second case the kid was the issue and was just a really bad situation.

I wouldn’t do it.

Ok will do

RDR2 is on my list and I need to stop fiddling around with all my other games and play this one.

All I ever hear is great things about this game.

LMAO… I would have loved to see them flying through the air!!

I am assuming you are paying this trainer for an hourly session.

This guy isn’t going to last as a trainer. They have two hours (7-9) in the morning to see clients and three maybe four (4-7) in the afternoon.

He either cuts your session short or he makes his next client late too.

You said he was late three times in a row and will unpredictable when football season starts?

Fire him.

13 years is a significant age gap for someone in their mid twenties.

I am certain he wants to have sex with you, wether or not he is thinking about a long term relationship, I have no insights.

It could be that he is not thinking about that. You are pretty vague on when you are relocating, so maybe he thinks that if the two of you work out, than you will stay.

My Truck is named Earle.

My wife’s car is name scarlet.

My jetski is named Blue Five.

So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

Are you sure they don’t.

When I went to undergrad plenty of classes started at 11, 1, 4 and 7pm.

My kid went to undergrad about 15 years ago and the same was offered and he had a number of online options that he could do pretty much anytime.

I am doing my best to get activity going on the nfl and lacrosse instances.
