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.

This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.

Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.

I distinctly remember reading similar news a few years ago.

Could be another case. People do be fuckin'

Yeah? I remember this documentary on some tube.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with that.

Depends on how big the hospital is... Just asked one of my clients....they have around 100 pregnant nurses at any time. Well,they have around 2500 of them tbh.

I was thinking the same thing, but apparently they are all in the same unit, which makes this more interesting.

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.

That women can get pregnant? I already learned that a while ago.

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.

Milk, actually.

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

Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don't even know what's true anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

@[email protected] read that so then wondered about the besties in high school who claimed its veracity

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.
