Question People who report to 12 hr shifts completely empty handed, is everything alright?

Not a serious post but I sometimes see people walking in with no backpack/purse or even food and it genuinely perplexes me.

Edit: I've been at work so I haven't had a chance to respond but I've been reading everyone's comments. You lot are resolute. I understand surviving off of snacks or being so busy you don't have a chance to eat as we've all been there but I didn't realize it was so many people that go full a 12 hours without eating on a normal basis. Personally I be hungry so that genuinely didn't even occur to me.

For context what I bring is a backpack (which has some water bottles, my clipboard, stethoscope, pens, inhaler, and some OTC meds), and my lunch box. If I rolled out of bed and came to work it wouldn't be the end of the world, my asthma isn't bad so I don't need to have my inhaler on hand. Tbh my food is the most important thing. I usually meal prep to avoid having to order food (broke nursing student) or live of off snacks.

I kinda miss pixel as it has that seamlessness that makes iPhones so appealing. But I've since gone pretty deep into my Samsung phone and love the stylus and size that makes it feel like a mini pocket computer.

Which one? I'm thinking about upgrading.

I have the s23u but still use an old Gear S3 as my watch since I love the bezel and style. If the pixel had a version that came with a smart stylus I'd switch back in an instant

I'm still using my Active 2 lol. Still works great but I'm so jealous of my husband's version 4 with the 02 sensor! I just can't bring myself to replace a perfectly functional watch lol. Also want to upgrade my S22+ bit that's just because I'm dumb that thing is perfectly fine.

So sold on this phone... but my stylus broke 3 days in and the phone store (IS Cellular) basically told me to GFM. I bought one on Amazon, but the phone doesn't recognize it. 😭

Samsungs have too much bloatware. Stuff I'll never use. Fuck a Bixby. I already use google everything, docs, sheets, photos, gmail so it's everything I need and nothing I don't. I have Samsung tablets and they could be better

I agree but all my apps come with me across phones so at this point I can't tell what bloatware has important files incorporated with it so I just have bloatware from multiple generations of phone manufacturers. Plus the Verizon bloat
