I think I had twilight anaesthesia for something and it was totally fine and easier to recover from fully being under. For another even vaguer anecdata point of reassurance.
I have to update y'all on my latest workplace stuff since you have been hearing my moans all along AND I am not supposed to discuss some of it at work yet - our ever shrinking department is getting even smaller, my previous supervisor is moving to another division and on of the Planning team is going on a leave of absence. So all the stuff that the VP and I more or less settles on that would be my role going forward is sort of on hold while I pick up part of the duties of the missing people. But only temporarily, supposedly. To be revisited in March. I just finished talking to my old supervisor about what she's been doing so that I can take over at least some of it and she was advising me that I should just step into her role. Which I guess I should consider but thankfully I do not have to make any kind of decision on that immediately because my gut feeling is to run away. I'm a little wary that we will end up not hiring anyone and just keep going on with the reduced team anyway because that has happened before.
Oh, askye, how awful for everyone. I'm so sorry for them.
-t, that sounds change-ful, and also, it sounds like you might be able to get a better handle on whether you'd want that role for yourself... so kind of good... but also not the change you were expecting... so... change-ful.
At this point the constant change just seems kind of hilarious
That sounds complicated, t!
JZ hope it’s going well! I had twilight for my wisdom teeth and remembered nothing between counting backwards from 10 and them saying “your friend (vortex!) is here to pick you up”! Hope it goes that well for you
Best wishes, JZ. Hoping it all goes well.
I am late, but I am hoping the port a cath insertion is going/went well.
Also late to the discussion, but all of my twilights so far (cath, colonoscopies, surgical drain) have been straight-up naptime. Which I prefer, myself. I don't want to "not care" what's going on, I want to just skip it altogether.
Sheryl- that sounds awful. I hope you get help soon. I would totally lose it.
I made it through the week with 1 minute overtime. It seems I have the choice between trying a lot of math/waching the clock or use trying to get into a routine of working the exact same hours every day (which don’t align with the bus schedule- any exact 8 hour shift basically adds a half hour of waiting at the bus station to my commute home because my bus runs every half hour but the bus from works runs every 15 minutes) Or, you know, talking frankly to my manager who is very gentle, so I can’t really tell what her expectations are and ask her point blank if she cares if I log in while on the bus. She just keeps telling me “we understand if sometimes the needs of the students mean you need to be overtime”. I need my old boss! I love my new boss, but I need my old boss.
