Hope those who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving!
Finally done with my week of early shifts. Being used to staying up very late, this is always a massive PITA for me. I'm constantly tired, muscles and joints are aching and I feel awful mentally. Well, except today since my 1-hour nap turned into 5 hours as I forgot to set my alarm correctly.
I've switched to another Lemmy client I found on Droid-ify: Raccoon . Not affiliated with the creator in any way, just thought it looked very great and after trying it out in anonymous mode for a few days, I finally decided to make the switch yesterday. It's even better than Voyager was, as now I also had a full-on profile editor built in. I was finally able to add some stuff to my bio and add my newest Matrix ID ๐ Big pro is that it doesn't always display images in their full resolution like Voyager used to do... scrolling through some show and tell/mail call posts was rather challenging, but not anymore. Also good to have one less app dependant on the Google Play ecosystem.
Looking forward to next week since I have an appointment to take measurements for new glasses. The old ones are really getting uncomfortable, it was definitely a mistake to just rely on a name brand with its stock model instead of going the more expensive custom route again.
Early shifts โ
Iโm grumpy if I have to be in a meeting by 9 am!
Ha! Try getting up at 4:30 AM and starting to work by 6:30 AM when you're usually going to bed around 1:00 to 2:00 AM. By 9:00, we're usually done with basic care (washing our residents, getting them dressed and giving them breakfast) and have our first smoke/vape break. Nursing is tough, but I'll always prefer late and night shifts.
I almost installed Racoon yesterday, but didn't. I'll have to check it out.
Looks really good on my phone with its AMOLED dark mode and the custom colours. It also has the swipe for votes/reply/save function. The only thing it misses in comparison to Voyager: user mentions and a way to see the comment you're replying to whilst typing your reply (made quotes by copy paste really easy).
