Minimum wage will be about $14 an hour by 2020 here, plus free health care.
Also, I'd hate to think what goes into a €2 bottle of wine...

True, but my fav wine bottle will probably be €10,- by then as well :'(

I'm physically shuddering at the thought.

I had a really interesting dream, but it disappeared from my brain as soon as I woke up and tried to think about it.

School requires me to keep a blog on my internship instead of just regular old weekly reports and I absolutely hate doing it. There's a reason I don't keep a paper diary >_>

I really don't know why I expected anything different, but today I had to give my boss my two weeks notice. She was mad, like legit pissed off at me. I could understand her being upset, but her level of upsetness was uncalled for. She wouldn't even look at me or say my name all day lol. You can't treat your employees like shit, underpay them and overwork them and expect them to stay with you forever. I half expected her to let me go on the spot, seeing as she has done that to everyone who has ever given notice. But I think she realized that no one else knows how to do my job. I'm expecting her to "let me go" on Friday after I have briefly gone over all of my duties with the people who are now taking them on. I hope she does, not only will I get to get out of that toxic environment, but I will be moving on to a place where I am truly wanted and appreciated and will be making more money. 

 

I guess I just expected more support from someone who gave me such praise a few months ago. Not only am I going above and beyond my normal duties, but I am doing my damnedest to make sure that my coworkers who I truly care about aren't left gasping for breath after I leave. I'm writing out detailed instructions on everything I do, giving my phone number and email so these people can contact me if they have questions. I know you can't give 2.5 years worth of knowledge to someone in less than 2 weeks, but it's her own fault for not making sure everyone was crossed trained in the event of an illness, death, or someone quitting.

I really hate this culture of employers sucking their employees dry until there's nothing left. The exact same thing is happening to me at my job. They keep removing people from the schedule and expecting the remaining employees to just be grateful for their hours and pick up the slack from them deliberately understaffing us. And this is also around the time a lot of employees leave. Our bosses keep saying that the employees they removed from the schedule are "on call" but they never fucking call them. They just keep shifting employees and moving them to other locations and which results in that area becoming understaffed. One employee told them she MIGHT not be able to return next semester so in retaliation they basically removed her from the schedule even though they need her and now they're trying to get me to work her job and my job at the same time. I already told them it's fucking impossible and I can't be two places at once. Now I'm looking for another job because I'm fucking sick of them constantly thinking they can treat people like shit and put their job on me because I'm one of the few full time workers they have left.

After months of my phone not using the mobile theme, it decided to change use it no matter what I did. I change the theme to something other than mobile, and then the next time I click on a link in Codex the fucking thing changes back to the mobile theme. I HATE the mobile theme and wish there was a way to disable the shit. That really put a damper on my work day.

More sad than bad. Today we saw a few fetuses(?) to see how anencephaly and spina bifida look like. Some people were laughing while looking at them (we were in a circle and the babies were being passed from one to the other). How fucking immature. I was really shocked to see them acting like that. And it's not the first time I see them acting childish. Medicine is not a game, you're supposed to take it seriously, because someday you're gonna take care of people's lives.

I would have asked them, "Will you be laughing like that when you have a person bring their daughter and son in with anencephaly or spina bifida?"

 

Today just sucks. In general, things are okay. But I'm feeling really frustrated with my upcoming statistics test and the pressure is fucking real. If I don't pass, I can't retest for 90 days and it will throw a wrench in my graduation / PhD program plans. I'd feel less stressed if I wasn't so goddamn tired all the time. I really,really need to see a sleep doctor but I'm so scared of doctors nowadays because of how many times I was dismissed before. But I'm sleeping sooo much and I can barely function awake. I can barely focus. I am so exhausted. Exhausted isn't even a good enough word.

I called some of them out after the class was over. Not with those words exactly, but I could see they felt bad -- or at least guilty. Ugh, they really pissed me off, but I couldn't just ignore.

It's been raining like the end of days. I hope this crappy weather don't stay for long, I have a fishing/camping trip this weekend.

Waaahhhhhhhhhhhh I had an anxiety attack at work today because I was so overwhelmed with trying to train people, and I just feel like there isn't enough time and I fear that they will really struggle with me gone and I worry about the people I actually like there. ON TOP OF THAT my boss decides to hire someone last minute and wants me to train them in a week... I'm so stressed ouuuuttttttttt. I can only do my best and the rest is not on me. #controlfreak

I wonder if it's some kind of coping mechanism. At least they felt guilty. Out of curiosity, do you know how they were sourced?

 

 

I applied for health insurance again. I hate how it's supposed to be a positive thing, but all I see is twice the payment I would have without it.

I really hope so, but from what I know about them (not that it's a lot, but still), it was probably not
And what does that mean?

Abortion or miscarriage? I don't know anything about Brazil fetus laws.

OH derp
Honestly, I have no idea, they didn't mention that. But here you can only abort in 3 situations - anencephaly; rape; risk to the mother.

Because with anencephaly, there's an extremely low survival rate, right?

[Swar]

Yup, and if it does survive the birth, it can't live for too long. My grandpa once made an anencephalous baby live for 30 days, but you pretty much have to take care of them 24/7
