My father was a scientist and we all learned to use a slide rule in the 3rd grade. I was extremely grateful that I was taught when I was so young. We learned how to do more complicated calculations as we were in Algebra, Trig etc. I was years ahead of the portable calculator!
@1:55:11 actually 73% of all non-fatal workplace violence injuries in 2018 were in healthcare facilities, healthcare workers are more likely to have an injury from workplace violence than any other profession. Emotions run high in healthcare environments and many people (usually family members, sometimes patients) don’t know how to appropriately express their anger or frustration and wind up physically taking it out on the healthcare team. Often this violence is not pew-pew related but active shooters in healthcare facilities do happen and every healthcare system I’ve worked in has active shooter training like we do with fires. Every facility I've worked at has in house security, usually retired military or police officers.
Story 22: To explain gun culture in the US. A lot of it is preparedness based and has little to do with immediate practicality. Think of it like the file backups from the previous story. The US has a lot of problems with drug abuse, slums, and mental health due to government projects back as far as segregation that they should not have been doing and lack of recovery efforts from those unethical projects. As such protection to one self is rather important depending on where you live. Beyond that as it's a constitutional right to bear arms against the threat of tyranny many demand the need to keep oneself safe when there are police officers like the SWAT team that sat outside a school shooting doing nothing. One civilian can handle a threat of a drugged out psycho or disgruntled mental freak show while the police let people die. The second amendment is all about protection, and since Canada has more issues with knife killings or drunken fights than druggies and mental health, it makes less sense to be prepared with an armed threat.
2:30:58 RE: Story 29 A major reason people might be afraid to own up to their mistakes is fear of augmented anger/animosity in return for doing so. In other words, people might be afraid an apology will make the injured party angry, or angriER if they already were angry to begin with. This notion comes from being told in childhood by your parents that “we won’t be angry if you tell us what you did”, or that “things will be better for you if you admit it freely than if we find it out ourselves”, and then they turn around and do the exact opposite, thus (possibly inadvertently) teaching the kids NOT to own up to their mistakes. TL;DR: People who are afraid to admit they screwed up were, more likely than not, raised wrong.
Responsible pewpew owners have the potential to be an asset in dangerous situations----say someone tried to take them hostage. A reasonable owner, former Army, working with people they very likely see as family from the length of time working with clients----yeah. OP could absolutely save several lives in a situation like that, because bosses don't like calling cops OR risking their lives for their people. OP, if they had to, has prior knowledge of how to safely operate pewpews. That's an asset, not a dong-measuring contest like the bosses thought it was.
I would say actually to STAY HOURLY. My previous company messed up employment terms with my friend that I had hired as my lead cook and made him Hourly instead of Salary. Yes, Salary has a guaranteed wage BUT you know what Salary doesn't get? Overtime. Dependent on the place a Salaried worker NEEDS to work X amount of hours in order to receive their proper wage, and depending how your HR is it can vary from place to place (like holidays are counted as off but you still make your hours). If you're hourly, again it depends on the place, you can usually accumulate Holiday Pay and Overtime depending on your line of work. In some cases Full-Time is considered 36 - 40 hours per week so as soon as you make your 40 hours anything after that is counted as Overtime. In fact most people would rather work 4 - 10hour days as opposed to 5 - 8 hour days because of the weekend you get. Although Salary generally gets better pay if your position means that you can get called in at 3AM to fix something / or you end up putting in 6 - 12 hour days then you're generally screwed.
a week away of your due date and working???? thats soooo ilegal.... paid maternity leave starts at 6 months of pregnancy and can last for an entire year here in my country. Our economy may suck but at least our workers have rights
The etc counter made me feel seen. I was just listening and then after the fourth I was like “is this person really saying etc THIS MUCH?” 😅😂
Your Chrome colored Karmen Chameleon w/Cookie was so adorable I had to order it! I can't wait for it to get here! 💌😻
Thank you! It'll be in the post Tuesday after our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!
I was using a slide rule just as calculators came in and got challenged a couple times. I think I'm going to buff up on using it again

I'm having a great day today, Robin.
