Covid nurses


My wife is an ICU RN and did 3 travel assignments to China flu "hotspots". She's not an attention whore at all.

But damn those checks were sweet. Made enough in China flu pay to buy 2 more rent houses.

We need to pump these numbers up some more and have some fear porn. I want to buy a sweet boat.

You sound like a bitch who couldn't even make it far enough to take organic chemistry.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lineman brag, call attention to himself, or otherwise attention whore in the least.
Nurses on the other hand...
Nothing compares to the self adulation, self importance, and narcissism of nurses. ‘Cept maybe for teachers.


Seen plenty of people praising utility workers, tho.

COVID nurses and its not even close. At least electricity linemen are actually putting their lives in some kind of danger unlike the embellishment COVID nurses are claiming

Linemen don’t ask for the glory of putting their lives on the line. You go out in the pouring rain or 20 degree weather and work on 22 KV lines hot. That is their job and they do it well

Most linemen don't make enough salary to buy an F-250. That's the sad part. They deserve it though.

You won't see any tradesmen parading around claiming that they are heros for doing their damn job. Funny how female heavy industries are proclaiming this lately, like nurses and teachers.

Yeah maybe if you did all that work without ever getting paid, you would be a hero. Also don't you think heros would rather be the Drs who are doing the actual saving of lives?

I can’t recall ever seeing even one social media post by any linemen referencing anything to do with their chosen vocation. Nurses though....

Nurses.

But I do know a lineman and you would think that dude was part of Seal Team 6 putting his life on the line for the his country in combat based on the memes he constantly puts up on facebook.

I am happy to see line workers gearing up to fix things, but let's not kid ourselves, they aren't trying to be heroes.

They get freaking PAID for this. They get time and a half or double time, and after 24 consecutive hours, they can "GO ON THE HOG," meaning every hour they work is at the overtime rate. Plus, they get other incentives thrown in, not including locals throwing them a bone with free food.

Well nurses are working, I’ve yet to see an Entergy truck that wasn’t covered in ice. I’d gladly give them the attention they so crave if they showed up.

Man, I am not going to label them all as "attention whores". Either way, they. are willing to do jobs a lot of people have no interest in doing..

But a group I will consider attention whores are volunteer firemen.

The purpose of volunteer firemen is to have people who are able to get out to areas that take the firemen to get to.. But because they have a scanner, they will show up at every accident that comes across. And they love nothing more than to put the light on their dashboard and haul arse.. Even to the areas in which the fire department & police will get to before they do.

Go to any hotel they are staying at and count the rear window stickers. They don’t have to TikTok when they cover 100s of miles of interstate. “Support Your Local Pole Dancer”
