I’m traveling from NH to MN today to meet some of the team at my new job. I’ve already done the first carpool leg and I’m onto the bus now! Airplane to come! Expected 10 more hours of joyful journeying. Buckle up and join me for a thread of observation, consternation, and transportation! 🚗 🚍 ✈️

😁 Oh Joy! Robin's traveling! That means a Robin Travelogue(TM)!
This day just got soooo much better. -
Ok I’m going to dig into my EMT course textbook podcast backlog. First chapter for today is on cardiac shock. (Yes I’m studying to be an EMT. It’s my hobby. Someone told me I needed a hobby.)
It’s Pearson textbook ($200+) and the accompanying podcast is two AI’s talking to each other, basically reading the textbook.
As you can imagine, my course instructor has had about enough of me and my “critiques.”
@actualham I was so curious to know if this hobby was going to continue and am glad to know that it is... Two AIs reading the textbook to each other is just... I mean I don't even know what to say to that. Also, I read this thread totally out of order, accidentally, and was so confused at first. So good to catch these glimpses of what you're up to...

@bonni208 The AI's mispronounce like one out of every two medical terms. It seems somewhat antithetical to learning the medical terms... <3

The good news turned out to be very bad. And I am from rural New Hampshire and my pizza standards are accordingly very low.
So far we have had three announced delays, but only a sum total of 1 hour delay. But I think there is some frog-boiling going on here.

Also there is a big pub called "Boston Bruins" right across from my gate. Seems odd that the pub is the exact name of the hockey team, but I will probably check it out since I assume it's where the queer people congregate. #HeatedAirport

@actualham I am a NH native who has lived in MN since 2000. Safe travels!

Lest you think I am just lounging around with the gay hockey players, you should know that I walked from gate A10 to A17 which means changing levels twice, two moving sidewalks, and about 1.3 miles of straightaway. AND THEN I KID YOU NOT THEY CHANGED ME BACK TO A10!!! Why don’t I just sit at the bar like a normal person?? Why does every minute in an airport in which I am not at my gate deduct like 45 minutes off my life span???

You should also know that I did this with a bad back! One month ago I had a serious injury while MAKING THE BED (yes I am that old) and it hasn’t been fixed yet despite my physical therapist’s stabbing me with electrically charged needles. I am on steroids to try to survive this trip. But apparently they are the steroids that make you pee a lot rather than the steroids that make you buff. So here I am running around the airport like a fit woman which I am not. Ok let me correct that. I am running around like an unfit woman with a bad back who has to pee.

The end of this EMT textbook chapter is about how to recognize when someone is sooooo dead, you don’t have to try to resuscitate them. They actually say that we should not do cpr on a decapitated patient. I have concern for students who needed to read that in a textbook.
Sorry if this is too graphic for a cute travel thread. But I’m like one step away from being a main character on The Pitt so it’s to be expected.

You always hear about Triage being stressful. Making choices on who gets "priority".
I'm thinking back to the fire at the Swiss Ski resort night club. Saw lots of interviews on DW TV (on our local PBS station). Those folks were being ordered around, don't treat THAT person <emphasis on lost cause> treat THIS one. Limited resources, and even more limited time. It's about maximizing the win column on the worst day of everyone's lives.

This day just got soooo much better.I know, understand fully costs involved (monetary, but more the mental ones).
But 💯 hard agree.
In my time here on Mastodon,... Robin Travelogue(TM) is best travelogue. Hands down.

@carpetbomberz oh gosh learning the triage tagging system was a tough week.

Delayed by one hour so far! But the good news is SBARRO
Not judging (hey we're all captives at the airport #amirite
A very funny buddy of mine was such a hater,.. he used to disparage it every chance he got. He called it,... SBARFO

Some members of the flight crew have shown up and are waiting with us. People are looking at them desperately like maybe they are prophets sent from another land who might carry news about where our plane is.

Somehow the energy at this gate feels like when everyone is listening hard for the first tremor of the sandworms in Dune.

The woman next to me is dressed the way anyone in a Boston blizzard dresses when they’re about to get on a plane to Minneapolis.

I was wondering how to work a Don DeLillo scene into this thread. Well the universe just delivered:
Man, to gate agent, “We are connecting on our way to Portugal.”
Man’s wife: “We are going to Puerto Rico.”
Man: “…”

@independentpen would you like to talk to our chatbot?

Calling this done now. This is the Split Rock Lighthouse near Two Harbors MN. We drove past this on our way home from the Boundary Water Canoe Area last summer.
