Looking for a NORMAL RN Job, Because I’m the Best—But Not for Dirty Tricks! (Seriously, No Manipulative Drama Please)

You’re down on your luck, broke, emotionally shredded, and feeling like life has decided you’re its favorite socialist punching bag. LOL

Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone comes in like the soldier of a bad soap opera, and they say, “With me, you’re safe. No one will hurt you again.”

Sounds great, right? Wrong.

This isn’t the beginning of a rescue story—it’s the trailer for a psychological horror film starring YOU as the victim.

Let’s break it down: they mess you with that “I’m the only one who understands you” nonsense.

Now, that might feel nice for a second, but what they really mean is, “I’m about to isolate you from everyone else in your life, so buckle up!”

Then comes the “You don’t need anyone else but me” line, which is manipulator code for, “Say goodbye to your friends, family, and anyone who might actually help you escape my clutches.”

By this point, you’re practically gift-wrapped for exploitation, and they’re rubbing their hands together like a cartoon villain.

But wait, it gets worse!

Society’s playing its own part in this mess.

You’re already living under a system that’s tighter than skinny jeans on a hot day.

Freedom? Forget it. Opportunities? Nonexistent.

And here comes your manipulator, armed with “Now’s your only chance—trust me.” Translation: “I’m taking advantage of your desperation to lock you into this disaster of a relationship faster than you can say, ‘red flag.’


And don’t even get me started on “Let me handle everything for you.”

Sure, it sounds like help, but what they really mean is, “Hand over your decision-making abilities, independence, and any remaining shreds of self-respect. I’ve got this—by ‘this,’ I mean control of your entire life.”

At this point, it’s a complete circus.

You’re in the center RING, juggling your trauma, poverty, and lack of resources, while society and your friendly neighborhood manipulator cheer you on to “just obey the rules.”

Those rules, of course, are specifically designed to keep you stuck—like some cruel Monopoly game where you never pass Go and certainly don’t collect $200.

The worst part?

The more you comply, the deeper you sink.

You start questioning yourself: “Maybe I really can’t do this on my own.” Spoiler alert: That’s exactly what they want you to think. Before you know it, you’re living in a self-destructive loop, following the “dirty rules” just to survive while your dreams pack their bags and move to a happier place without you.

It’s a recipe for disaster.

Trauma plus poverty plus control equals one epic meltdown, starring you, your lost freedom, and a manipulator who thinks they’re the boss, the psychopath puppets master!

It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck—you can see it happening, but getting off the tracks feels impossible when the system is rigged against you.

You guessed right! IS socialism, woke and craziness!

The sad truth is, society loves this mess.

Oppression keeps people in line, the psychopaths manipulators fill the gaps with false promises, and the cycle just keeps spinning like a never-ending rerun of the worst reality show ever made.

But here’s the twist: recognizing the disaster is the first step to escaping it.
You are NORMAL rational human beings not like their SOCIALIST CRAZINESS, and you deserve to be FREE!

Spot those manipulative lines for what they are: bad scripts in a bad movie.

Build connections, even small ones, with people who genuinely care.

And whenever possible, say NO to the “dirty rules” and the so-called heroes who just want to play puppet master with your life.

Because trust me, freedom might be hard to achieve, but living as someone else’s pawn is the real disaster.


Common tactics and phrases manipulators use in such contexts:

1. Reassurance and False Security

  • “With me, you’re safe.”
  • “No one will hurt you while I’m around.”
  • “I understand you better than anyone else ever could.”
    These phrases aim to create a sense of security and portray the manipulator as a protector.

2. Isolation and Exclusivity

  • “I’m the only one who truly cares about you.”
  • “Others don’t understand you like I do.”
  • “You don’t need anyone else but me.”
    By isolating the person, manipulators make them dependent and cut them off from alternative sources of support.

3. Exploitation of Vulnerability

  • “I know what you’ve been through; I’ve been through it too.”
  • “I’m here to fix everything for you.”
  • “You deserve someone like me who understands your pain.”
    This taps into their emotions, making them feel seen and understood while positioning the manipulator as a savior.

4. Urgency and Pressure

  • “Now is the best time to make this change.”
  • “You’ll regret it if you don’t trust me right now.”
  • “This is your only chance to turn things around.”
    Urgency creates a fear of loss or missed opportunity, reducing the likelihood of logical decision-making.

5. False Flattery and Validation

  • “You’re so strong to have gone through what you did.”
  • “No one else sees how amazing you are, but I do.”
  • “You deserve so much more, and I can give that to you.”
    This inflates the individual’s sense of worth while tying their validation to the manipulator.

6. Control Disguised as Care

  • “I just want what’s best for you.”
  • “You don’t have to worry about anything anymore—I’ll handle it.”
  • “Trust me; I know what you need right now.”
    Such phrases give the illusion of support while subtly removing the person’s autonomy.

7. Guilt and Shame

  • “If you don’t trust me, it means you don’t care about what I’m doing for you.”
  • “After everything I’ve done for you, you’re still doubting me?”
  • “I’m the only one willing to stand by you; why are you pushing me away?”
    This shifts the blame onto the victim, making them feel responsible for the manipulator’s behavior.

8. Promises and Future Fantasies

  • “Our future together will be so beautiful.”
  • “I’ll make sure you never feel pain again.”
  • “We’re building something special here.”
    These promises keep the victim hooked, often postponing their realization that nothing substantial is happening.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Inconsistencies: The manipulator’s actions often don’t match their words.
  • Dependency: They encourage dependence on them and discourage self-reliance.
  • Emotional Swings: Sudden shifts from being loving to controlling.
  • Discouragement of Outside Input: They may speak negatively about friends or professionals who challenge their influence.

Awareness of these tactics can help identify manipulative behavior early, empowering individuals to set boundaries and seek healthier connections.

Run as fast as you can if you hear these words!

And if you know of any NORMAL open RN jobs, with NORMAL-minded people, in a NORMAL professional environment, let me know!

I’m an excellent RN, but I don’t do bullshit!

My mom never loved the pressure cooker

My mom never loved the pressure cooker. While most moms embraced it in the communist country where time to cook was short, food was scarce, and families were large, my mom always said NO. Even though food was good, and meals were always on time, she refused to use it.

Why? Because more than seeking an easier time during those hard days, everything she did was about us. My mom’s anxiety was always high, though she never talked about it. But that anxiety kept us safe, as best as she could.

Today, I refused to trust my gut. From morning until evening, I said NO to it. NO, I do not want to listen to you! When your mind and gut tell you something different from others, and you already know that you process things differently, you say NO!

NO to my gut today!

Because I’m too tired to deal with everything in one single day.

What would my mom do? I wish you were here, mom, to tell me what to do…and to NOT trust my guts, BUT just live!

I refused a private room arrangement because of my gut!

NO private room in a socialist country—NEVER EVER! Irina taught me that!

When I called my friends, my call rings echo from a closed apartment. It’s not a coincidence or craziness. What happened before is happening again! My gut was right when I discovered it.

Anything else is people doing their jobs for their people, and me watching them.

People are the same! Life is the same! Freedom is the same! For ALL!

What would mom do? How do you convince someone, whose priorities are different from their own kids, that pressure cooking is dangerous for everyone? The time you gain today, you can lose it ALL tomorrow, as dangerous as it can be!

My dad bought a sophisticated pressure cooker for my mom, proud of his “state class achievement.” My mom took that “achievement,” and it became the grain holder for our ducks, geese, and chickens, and the pot for their water. She transformed the “brand name” pressure cooker gift into happiness for our animals and garden.

That’s what my mom taught me.

If you don’t have time, DO NOT COOK! Cook with time and LOVE! Meals are for soul life and health. And never use a pressure cooker as sophisticated as it could be!

It’s better not to cook at all, then! LOL. Eat out!

At the Filipino corner store, a man was selling cheap jeans from a bag. I smiled. People bought them. It’s a culture—the culture of poverty! I lived it in socialism!

Pressure cookers are part of the culture of poverty, where people hurry to gain control over an uncontrollable situation, driven by poorness!

Breathe with me and stay grounded.

My mom always kept her hands on the oven door handle for 5 seconds before starting cooking. To rest. To settle. After that, the meals would follow.

Today, I didn’t trust my gut at all! But I trusted MY MOM!

Moms protect their babies and teach them through life experiences and stories.

Now, you know that your gut is right. Don’t ignore it!

Trusting Your Gut: A Fun Guide to Navigating New Job and Business Relationships

Because sometimes, your stomach knows best!


Introduction: The Gut Feeling Phenomenon

Ever met someone and just knew they were going to be a great business partner?
Or perhaps you’ve had that nagging feeling that a job opportunity wasn’t quite right, even though it looked perfect on paper. That’s your gut talking! But how do you know when to trust it?

Welcome to your fun-filled guide on blending intuition with a dash of logic to make stellar decisions in your professional life and why not on your personal life too.


1. Dip Your Toes In: Start Small and Test the Waters

Why? Because nobody likes rushing to the beach without checking the weather first! And it is named NORMALITY!

How?

  • Casual Coffees Over Commitments: Before agreeing and signing any dotted lines, grab a coffee or have an informal chat. Observe how the conversation flows. Awkward silences or natural banter?
  • Mini-Projects, Maxi-Insights: Propose a small project or collaboration. It’s like a test drive for your professional relationship. Does it feel like a smooth ride or are the wheels wobbling?

What to Watch For: Are you vibing well? Do they respect your ideas, or do they talk over you like that one friend at parties?


2. Sherlock Mode: Investigate (Minus the Deerstalker Hat)

Why? Trust is good, but verification is better. Plus, who doesn’t love a good sleuthing session?

How?

  • LinkedIn Lurking: Check out their professional history. Endorsements? Recommendations? Any mutual connections ?
  • Google is Your BFF: A quick search can reveal news articles, past projects, or (gasp!) any red flags.

What to Watch For: Consistency in their story. Do their claims match up with what’s online? If they’re the “World’s Best,” does the internet agree? A Person Without a Track Record (good or bad) Might Not Be Real! Even if someone does provide a track record, it’s important to investigate where it comes from and under what circumstances it was established.


3. Phone a Friend: Seeking External Wisdom

Why? Because sometimes, our gut is influenced by that spicy taco we had for lunch.

How?

  • Mentor Moments: Discuss your thoughts with a mentor. They’ve been around the block and can offer invaluable insights.
  • Buddy System: Chat with a trusted friend or colleague. Fresh perspectives can illuminate things you’ve missed.

What to Watch For: Are they echoing your feelings or offering a reality check? Either way, it’s golden information.


4. The Journal Journey: Documenting Your Adventure

Why? Memories can be as fickle as a cat deciding whether it wants to be pet. Writing things down ensures you keep memories in.

How?

  • Note the Nitty-Gritty: After each interaction, write down how you felt, what went well, and any hiccups.
  • Pattern Patrol: Over time, review your entries. Spot any recurring themes or feelings?

What to Watch For: If every note ends with “Left feeling uneasy,” maybe it’s time to face the truth. It is not an ok partnership! Conversely, consistent balance and positive NORMALITY is a green light!


5. Trust, But Don’t Be Hasty: Balancing Gut and Brain

Why? Because while your gut is smart, your brain has its merits too.

How?

  • Pros and Cons Lists: Good old-fashioned, but effective. Lay it all out.
  • Sleep well: Decisions made after a good night’s sleep are often clearer.

What to Watch For: If both your gut and brain are throwing a party in agreement, it’s likely a good sign. If they’re at odds, maybe target more.


Conclusion: The Perfect Blend

Navigating new professional relationships is like baking the perfect cake. You need the right ingredients (instincts), proper measurements (data), and a bit of patience (time). Trust your gut, but back it up with some detective work, friendly consultations, and self-reflection.

Remember, whether it’s a job offer that seems too good to be true, a new friendship or a business partner who’s charming but elusive, this fun-filled guide has got your back. Now, go forth and make decisions that would make both your gut and brain proud!
