Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I once worked at a retail job where at one time I had to work the 7AM shift. I get there and I’m the only male and all three of the female coworkers were pregnant.

I learned more about the female body than any single man should ever know.

14 pregnant nurses and one glistening “Fertility Doctor” who just roams around the halls in an open bathrobe chugging orange juice straight out of the container.

The container being a 20 gallon bag that thw distributor uses to restock the vending machines in a municipality

And all 14 going for a 1 year paid maternity leave at same time. Fun time for those at work 😜

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 71 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

paid maternity leave

Let me guess.... you're from Europe...

[–] zammy95@lemmy.world 29 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I work for a hospital system in the states. We do have paid maternity leave, but it's to the tune of 2 weeks, not a whole year

[–] paperazzi@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Most women aren't even fully healed by two weeks, either.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 4 points 48 minutes ago

No that parasite usually stays around for 18 plus years, sometimes longer.

No one heals in full on capitalism

I was thinking what a nightmare it would be to replace them temporarily.

You got at least 6 mo to plan and loccoms are a thing. What managers get paid for right?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Yes. And good managers can do it.

There’s the rub, tho.

Sources report that the tall dark and handsome radiologist is shitting himself.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 10 points 5 hours ago

It's always the radiologist.

“Yeah, we had a fun holiday work party, pretty normal. We didnt go that crazy.” - To their husbands/bfs when arriving home at 3am with tossled hair.

Y'all need to stop sending this article to my wife. I just clean the floors there.

Were they all working on the same floor?

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago

On the same doctor...

Ah life path number 3 combo for the Midwest woman. Become a nurse and have children.

Personally I'm bias, I saw four (women) friends either drop out of college, or get pregnant early, or one was convinced to give up her career by her future husband, all to drop in the fallback of nursing and then each have like 3 kids. They all live within 20 miles of where they were born and none of them followed through with the dreams they had. So I see this and my heart sinks remembering that, and wondering about them

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 hours ago

It was one hell of an office Christmas party.

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

That’s a lot of fucking.
