I was thinking of delving into EU5 modding this weekend to add Australian First Nations … nations to the map.

I told my boss if she doesn’t stress me out by making me be charge nurse she can take credit for my weird hyperfocus side projects.

It’s working great so far, I just get left alone in my corner at night and every once in a while they send me a student or new grad to use as a lackey while I keep working on hyperfocused side projects. And when I’m not in hyperfocus I hole up in a suicide watch room with tea and a book.

And she doesn’t even actually take credit for anything the boss above her keeps sending me little acknowledgement pings on the recognition system and I get my raise every year (it’s not great but it’s not any worse than anyone else’s). And then the nurses fresh out of their new grad year that they manage to sucker into being charge nurse still come ask me for advice so I still have enough influence to get things done properly I just don’t have to do any bullshit tasks or get in trouble for dumb shit other people do like if I was charge.

I was kinda worried about working for the city community hospital and everybody said the patients were so much worse but like. HA. The university hospital had to shut a whole wing down for one dude who was punching at least one person a day and all the residents were too scared to either just discharge him to jail or drug the shit out of him and we didn’t even have the right kind of restraints for that level of violence. the worst it gets where I am now is somebody screaming in my face for an hour until their oral meds hit.

I miss the giant cafeteria and the employee only chapel and pharmacy and stuff and getting security to let me into the doctors lounge at 2am but everything else is way better.

I started my Masters thesis at 8pm and submitted it at 11:59pm before it was due at 12am and got 110%. Its the only way I could have done it.

Nice, what mod?
