yes your pet can have fleas, even if they never go outside, or if your yard is fenced in, or if you live in a gated community. fleas have no concept of property lines.

Literally happened to my husband. He had refused for days to let me take him to the hospital for pain/illness. He woke me up one night at like 2 am to tell me he loved me because he just knew he was dying. I told him to shut up and put on pants. Several hours and 1 emergency surgery that bumped everyone else on the schedule later and now I get to make the call of when he has to see a doctor lol.
As a casino dealer: We are standing at the same table you are sitting at, we can absolutely hear you talking about all those sensitive/incriminating topics.
As a nurse: We already know your medical history you don’t need to lie about addictions or embarrassing health issues, we aren’t going to judge you over details we need to do our job properly.
Go to freaking class. Even if you don’t pay attention you will accidentally learn. Don’t skip, it doesn’t work.
As a hospital nurse, I’ve been asked more than once by doctors, “Ok….uh…. what do the other doctors usually do for that?”
Doctors who are willing to ask are the good ones. If you have a doctor that never admits they don’t know something, we know they’re one to stay away from.
IT departments generally emphasize getting the product out the door to please the managers, rather than getting it right.

Residential and commercial painting bids are almost always inflated. Never pay to hear a bid, they should always be free and make sure to get multiple from different places.
Unless you are requesting a unique service or an art mural, the material and labor costs are easily calculated per square feet of specific surfaces. Ask for an itemized bid if you feel the contractor is being shady, any that give you push back for an itemized bid aren’t willing to put good effort into the project.
Don’t accept “we don’t do that” when asking for itemized bids, it’s a cop out for poorly managed businesses.

Airline Ticket and Gate Agent:
* When we tell you we don’t know why a flight is delayed or cancelled, we REALLY don’t know. You often get updates on your app before we know there’s a delay.
* We think the bag fees are exorbitant, too. We don’t make them, it’s just our job to collect them.
* We want you to get on the plane as much as you want to be on it. It makes a lot of extra work for us to re-book.
Our field is being taken over by private equity, we work with kids with special needs. you’ll get overworked analyst, overworked therapist with poor training and supervision, and your kids will suffer for it. some things shouldn’t be ran for profit.
also there is some fraud in terms of users, there are agencies that train people to play up their kids’ symptoms and use us as baby sitters. This needs to be addressed as well but it won’t b/c there is PROFIT to be made on both sides.
We do NOT “psycho-analyze” random people that we meet in social settings, or acquaintances, or even close friends.
Our parents & sibs? Yes, yes, we very much do diagnose them in our heads.
You know how every movie about a profession gets that profession hilariously wrong.
Well I used to be a journalist, and most movies about journalism, is pretty accurate.
I think it’s because whoever wrote the script probably wasn’t a firefighter, or bomb defuser, but they probably were a journalist.
Working in behavioral health taught me that if someone grabs and starts choking your neck all you have to do is grab their thumbs and twist them back. The person will release and you can basically control them just with the thumbs. If someone or something bites you then you “feed the bite”. Push the limb they are biting farther into their mouth will hit the gag reflex and they will stop biting.
An appraisal of your home is literally and legally someone’s opinion. Yeah, there are loose rules that apply but within that framework it can vary widely.
Hospice- we don’t k**l or assist or do anything to hasten DEATH.
Majority of home hospice pts IMPROVE if over 3 weeks care.
Hospice doesn’t make much money, more of a community service.
