Ok. I'm a nurse. Female. Getting on in years, but not over-the-hill. *cough-cough* Actually in good physical shape!
At a supervisor's meeting two days ago, and before the meeting officially began, one nurse stated, "My husband says, "It's coming. The end of the world. If that's true, I want to be the first to go. I don't want to see my kids and grandkids starve to death." And she went on for a few moments about not wanting to deal with the aftermath of a life-changing disaster. The conversation went around the table, each nurse echoing the first nurse.
There are six nurses present, myself included.
The others all chimed-in, and stated the same kinds of things, that they hope they are the first to go.
Me... I said something like, "God put us all here, at this place and time and history for a reason. Why would you want to do that, to be the first to go? We're all hard-wired to survive! Why do you want to give up so easily?"
They ALL rolled their eyes."
I said nothing else. Crickets chirp.
Today, none of these nurses would speak to me outside of "business". We always chat about "things", including the current state of affairs.
I need a new job. There's not ONE person I work with (out of about 140) that see the chaos of this world besides me.

Anyone else need a new job?
