I'd say handling an entire store by yourself is a point in your favor toward management. I really don't know.
Even though their output is pathetic, the sketch comedy group I was with in college continues to make connections for me. I interned with one of the former founding members (from back when the group was good) and now another one of them is trying to get a tv pilot off the ground. I said I'd be interested in crewing and emailed my info to him and he called me within minutes on a Sunday.
He told me that what he'd be able to pay people, if anything, depends on how much money the Kickstarter raises, but I told him at this point, I just need to get experience again. The only thing that's keeping my production experience current right now is recording sermon videos one or two Sundays a month.

(Now you are reading this in Dr. Cox's voice)
"All right, Mr. Schmuck, I've never seen so much of a symptom clusterfuck like this in my whole damn unhappy life. Frankly, I have no idea what to make of you, but my guess as any is that you have been got drunk your brains out and got busy in a gym. Since you managed to forget all the medication you were taking, you got, at least should have, hit by simultaneous alcohol poisoning and heart attack. You can bet your ass your insurance covering is gonna be a bitch."
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.Can't answer in too great detail because I'm going off soon, but I'm thinking about a stroke, intracranial bleed and/or hypertensive emergency with encephalopathy. Get a history and examine the patient (you must do a focused neurological exam and check the pupils), look for end-organ damage, scan the brain, and bring down the BP cautiously.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.Aneurysms are parts of arteries with weakened walls. When they're in the brain and they burst, they cause intracranial bleeding. There are other causes of intracranial bleeding - most are trauma-related. Also, aneurysms can show up anywhere.
P.S. Am on holiday as of today. Please field all questions to Yuan, joey, jedi and Euo (
), and remember that a random stranger on the Internet is no substitute for a formal medical consultation. Pyrite, out.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.Hmmm. I'd say, Heat stroke; Hypo- or Hyperglycemia (Annoyingly for the caregivers of brittle diabetics, they share a disturbingly large number of symptoms), Alcohol poisoning, Caffeine Toxicity.
Oh, yeah. I'd ask when (and what) they ate last. That could simply be extreme hunger.
Enjoy your holiday, Pyrite.
Be good to yourself.

For those of you who said stroke or intracranial bleed, congrats, you're smarter than some ER doc(s) in our system. We get these "safety e-mails" when something "reportable" (read, bad) happens to a patient and there have been several recently about patients who have come in with stroke symptoms, not gotten a CT head to rule out a stroke or brain bleed, and then presented to another facility later on with worse symptoms and possible permanent harm because, whaddya know, they actually had a stroke/bleed. Call me crazy, but I would think a stroke would be one of the first things you'd want to rule out.
Enjoy your time off, Pyrite! Don't abuse your liver too much.

Hey, all. There's access after all. (It's actually a church conference, so no way am I going to land myself in trouble.
)
As for getting the diagnosis... Well, I guess that degree does count for something.
*does a happy dance* But seriously, it happens. You won't believe the stuff even experienced doctors end up missing in the heat of the moment.
A note about the above scenario: the "stupidly high blood pressure" is the biggest red flag, and should be investigated and treated as the main priority. The other symptoms may be due to the hypertension itself, or the underlying cause (strokes, bleeds, drugs, hormones, etc.).

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.Out of curiosity, does the concept of a party held by the store that's mandatory for employees to attend sound lame to anyone else, or just me?
Because where I work is having one next Thursday, the idea coming from the Store Manager (highest bigwig at the store). The manager I asked about it, before leaving work this morning, didn't see why I thought it was lame (well, "retarded" was the word I used
).
^ Given they'll probably be serving food from the store's bakery, which is pretty "blech!" no matter what they make, you may be closer than you intended with the latter part of that quote.

So I'm looking for a bit of advice. I've heard of a management position opening up in a "wine rack" nearby. Think of a tiny liquor store attached to a mall. I'm interested in the position primarily because my current job is solo nights at a gas station. Earning minimum wage and steady nights; both things I'd like to change.
I've never been in a management position before and I'm wondering if it's something I can do. I'm not quite sure how difficult it is in comparison to my current work or what exactly they'd be looking for in term of work experience.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
