      I have a similar model too, but the PM dot and Alarm dot are on the left side. It appears to be 3AM from the exterior lighting, so I can only conclude that this clock’s dots mean something different.

          I’ve had some alarm clocks where the dot meant PM, and others where the dot meant AM. I’m going to take a stab and guess that one of those dots means the alarm is set, and the other means it’s AM.

      Actually, my clock is just like that one. The “PM dot” is in the upper left, the “alarm dot” is in the upper right, and the “battery backup is dead/missing dot” is in the lower left.

          Next up: what’s the serial number on your smoke alarm? Is it a prime number? Discuss.

    This line really makes me wonder WHERE ELSE she’s woken up. We’ve had her in a closet and on the floor in-front of her dorm room door. Considering how much a booze hound she is, I’d kinda like to see some of her past blackouts.

      Do RA get a room to their own with no roomate?

        Yeah, RAs don’t have roommates in the vast majority of setups. They have to get up at random times in the night to deal with “incidents” and that would be annoying for a roommate. The power dynamic would also be quite bad between the two roommates if one just lived there and one was “in charge” of the whole floor. And finally, it’s considered a major perk of the job (which makes up for the generally lousy pay) to get paid room and board.

        Of course, there could be any number of residence halls where none of these things are true, but they usually are.

        Generally speaking, yeah. I’ve heard of quite a few people who became RAs just for the no-roommate clause.

    If Billie stays there until morning, isn’t there a high probability that Ruth will go to the closet and open it? I say she should take her chances and sneak out now when Ruth is sleeping.

    Did she not bring a cell phone with her on this daring mission? Seriously, Billie, you should’ve texted someone to pull Ruth aside about ten hours ago. How are you even still sitting there without enormous cramping?

      Why would she? If it wasn’t for that unexpected call Ruth got, Billie would have left the room soon after she got her uniform back.

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)
A sketch of Dilbert sitting at his desk, looking worn out. “There used to be a light inside of me,” he thinks, “when did I let this place snuff it out?”
Dilbert, now with slightly longer hair, eyeliner, and earrings, is putting on a scarf. After wrapping it around her neck, it springs up like her tie did in the comics. She smiles, her mouth visible for the first time.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her
