All my experiences working with (and in) the healthcare system have taught me that kind words, coffee, and chocolate go a loooooooooong way. And sometimes even flowers to the nursing station or to the office of the person who did you a favour. The nursing staff/medical office assistants do a lot behind the scenes that can make a big difference to your experience.
@snoopy128 I have several friends that are nurses so I knew, especially it being a holiday weekend, they might appreciate it. (And my friends say even though they appreciate sweets and baked goods, they’d rather just have something healthy or decent coffee, so I skipped the donuts or bagels)
And I was going to pick up coffee for Dad anyway since hospital coffee is awful so I just bought the big pod since it was only 14 bucks. I appreciated that they were so appreciative of it. I know they work hard and if we all had to be at the hospital on a holiday weekend, we might as well have good coffee 😉KMarch 28, 2016 at 11:38 am #448099@kmentothat, it’s great that you’ve realized that there are better things out there for you! Glad that you had a good date. @veritek33, sorry to hear about your dad being in the hospital again, but yay for good dates!
March 28, 2016 at 6:03 pm #448491@ver hope your dad is feeling better! Still having Easter dinner despite his condition and location was a good idea. Bringing home to him 🙂
Things with Slogan guy are still going, although I got a call from another municipality within the Alberta Internship program to do an interview tomorrow after work! So I am excited and hoping for the best. However it just means that there is, again, another possibility of my dating situation with slogan guy to be cut short if I get the job. Only time will tell. We spent the evening yesterday together catching up on the WD, and then watching the new episode. His mom got me a solid choco bunny in leu of easter, and I brought them some chocolate fudge cupcakes from the bakery I work at. Today we went for brunch and then saw the new Batman V Superman movie, very good!
EDIT: Forgot to add this link, a ridiculous post a friend on FB shared. She made fun of it of course, and honestly it scares me the advice this woman gives. Apparently I have been chasing men my entire life, and have oddly had success! I must be doing something wrong 😛
@cleo good luck on your interview! Things will work out either way but I’m glad things are going well with slogan guy! I’ve heard mixed reviews on that movie but I think I’ll go see it either way because I’ll watch anything batman related lol. Sounds like you had a good weekend!
And my dad got to leave the hospital last night so fingers crossed we can keep him out of hospitals for any more stays this year! lol
@Cleopatra_30 I just read that link…OMG. I hate that people out there are that stupid. As someone who tried to “cool girl” it through my last relationship I ended up with someone who didn’t want the things I wanted ultimately. I’m looking for someone who I can be totally myself with and vice versa. It’s not that complicated.
@veritek33 How is your dad doing? I’m glad you were able to still spend the holiday with him.I was supposed to have date #2 last night but he cancelled because of too much work and an early flight this morning (I ended up having to work late last night too so it worked out). I was pretty bummed, but we’ve rescheduled for Saturday. I’m already mentally like “ok, after that we probably have to do next Monday since he flies out Tuesday and isn’t back till Thursday and I fly out Thursday and am not back till the following Monday.” I shouldn’t be planning more than one date ahead. He’s just so…enthused.
@kmen Dad is home and feeling much better 🙂 Thanks for asking.
If it makes you feel better, I do that in my head too. I was already planning date 2 with the new guy because I had a trip to Atlanta and was figuring out my schedule and guess what? It all got messed up because of his work! I think it’s okay to be excited, just take it one date at a time 🙂
MylarayMarch 30, 2016 at 3:08 pm #452077I feel like a newb when it comes to online dating, but I went out with this guy last night who seemed friendly and normal to talk to. And for the most part he was, except bragging about his “high profile” job too much, which whatever, I’m not looking to marry him (I’m already married). But the rest of the conversation flowed really well and I was definitely interested. He walked me to my car, and we kissed, and I went home and looked up his name because I was kind of curious about his job. And he has an active, violent charge against him, and the details were pretty scary. I normally never Google people, but I’m so glad I did. I didn’t know his last name prior to meeting him, and I don’t want to be paranoid, but now I’m wondering if I should ask for that. But, I don’t really want to give mine out. Especially because it’s not just me, and I wouldn’t want someone to threaten my marriage.
@Mylaray I literally said “holy shit” out loud! I was not expecting that turn of events. Thank god you found out sooner rather than later!
I’m weird about giving out last names to strangers as I don’t want them to look me up on LinkedIn and know where I work/be able to stalk me if things go awry. I wish there was a better way to vet people!
Holy shit mylaray! That ^^ is exactly why I google guys beforehand. I know people disagree on whether you should do that or not, but I’ve never regretted it. And I don’t always ask for last names, most times they volunteer it. Either way, sounds like maybe you should look for a new guy to date lol. Sorry you experienced that!
