cj has issues

Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

pyrrhic task: you can get it done but it's going to cost you

medean task: you can get it done and you don't care what it costs you

dionysian task: task that might not be -better- if you do it drunk, but -will- definitely be more fun

hegelochic task: it was a simple job, but your name will be recorded in the annals of history for how impressively you fucked it up

task of theseus: a project for which the parameters have changed so many times that you're not sure it IS still the same task

she is a med student. rotations do not last more than a few weeks tops, so as much as you mightve liked her to still be in the ER full time, this isn't realistic at all four months after season 2. anyone with basic knowledge of the american medical school system would be aware she wouldn't still be there in real life, and the show tries to keep to realism as much as it can.

she would not still be in the ER as a med student. it would've been SO much easier for the writers to say "oh, javadi is on another rotation right now, she's not in s3 but will be back in s4 after graduation", and it also would've made sense to not see her. that's how it is.

INSTEAD, the writers went out of their way to write her with a storyline that will bring her back to the ER and still give her a role since they know how loved she is and like writing her. now, we'll get to know MORE about who javadi is and her passion for psych, AND we'll get a heavier presence of psych in the show as a whole because of it, which is a great thing too!

there is nothing logical to complain about here. the writers have made a decision to advance the storyline of, and keep in the main cast, a character and actress that we all like. be happy about that, narratively they could so easily not have done- insulting and attacking people who are trying to give you this interesting storyline for her rather than writing her off as would make sense for s3 is *insane*.

You put a water bottle back, get hunted down by the store owner and his family who shoot you because they claim to think you were stealing (Cyrus Carmack Belton), and said murderers walk away not guilty. 😐

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"
