WolfDreamer Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just now, fleaball said: Score! I make no promises but I'll try to find another opportunity for scary things this week as well. I had an amazing experience yesterday that was both scary and fascinating, so I hope it counts. Yesterday, while at the Columbus Zoo, one of the large silverback gorillas became quite agitated and was running back and forth along the glass enclosure; he wasn't quite chest-thumping, but it was clear he was irritated, probably due to the dense crowd (it was pretty busy). Parents pulled their little ones back away from the glass in anticipation of...what exactly? Pounding the glass? A potential Harambe moment (impossible in this, case, btw)? I stepped closer to the glass and made eye contact with him until he paced again along the length of the enclosure. There is a little bump of fake stone wall that protrudes from the bottom of the glass, so I sat there until I was almost sitting right against the glass. He stopped pacing and stood right next to me, again making eye contact. I didn't move; neither did he, but his eyes darted from me to the crowd then back to me, back to the crowd, back to me. Then he sat right next to me on the other side of the glass, still switching his gaze from me to the crowd again and again. Finally, he stood back up and walked to the back of the enclosure. I took that as a sign that he was no longer interested and went to join my family. 3 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Springs Forward Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn, WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf, The Mad Poet Recovers by Keeping it Simple, WolfDreamer Clears His Mind to Find His Wild Heart, WolfDreamer Resets, WolfDreamer Strives to Become an Eminently Qualified Peaceful Warrior “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I just remembered another one from the zoo. I touched and pet stingrays, which I have done before. But... well, here's what I posted on my thread: If you have never had the chance to touch or feed stingrays...wow. It's very simple: you hold what resembles an anchovy between your fingers, and the stingray swims up and sucks it out of your hand. That's the best way to describe it. No biting, just some flaps that wrap around your hand and a gentle sucking feeling as they inhale the fish. But beware; when you run out of food the stingrays still come to you and attempt to suck at your hand and forearm. At one point, I had five stingrays swimming around, sucking at my hand and arm; and they get a bit annoyed and splash if there isn't food. So, of course I got soaked. There were more fun adventures at the zoo, so feel free to check out my thread if you want. 2 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Springs Forward Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn, WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf, The Mad Poet Recovers by Keeping it Simple, WolfDreamer Clears His Mind to Find His Wild Heart, WolfDreamer Resets, WolfDreamer Strives to Become an Eminently Qualified Peaceful Warrior “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 This might make me an overachiever, but... I just ziplined from a mobile zipline: 30' high and 200' long. It's like a 15 second ride, so that's not what made me nervous. It honestly didn't look safe. Below is a pic: I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm a little iffy about climbing up a rickety stairway on a trailer and then ziplining from said trailer.

Nadoriel Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 So... completely different than all of you and something that scared the hell out of me and I'm still pretty concerned and obviously will improve it in the future. Yesterday as a nurse I did my first medication error. As soon as I found out I told the patient and the doctor and tried to face it as better as possible since I was also in charge of that area and that error happened during the most horrible timing ever. I'd never done it. And it's scary as hell to face a patient and saying that you did a mistake. And then tell the doctors... and everyone else that appeared there because like I said, it was a very inconvenient time. Other than that... The patient was always fine and the error had no consequences at all. I also know what led me to it, the prescription had extra numbers than normal for the same prescription. And my eyes kept capting that instead of the values I really wanted. Now I can't blame the prescription because it was technically fine, it just had extra numbers in there and I could have chosen to ignore them. But because life happens, I didn't, even though I thought something was weird unconsciously, since I actually run the numbers 2x but ended up doing the same. Anyways, that was it. No harm done. Just a pretty bad moment that ruined my day. But I had to maintain my cool since I still had half the day to run the area and help the other nurses. I can't avoid feeling that I've failed somehow... but these things are, unfortunately, normal. I really wish they'd start putting prescriptions on the computer. I worked 4years before on a hospital with prescriptions on the computer and never had anything of the sort. Oh well... obviously that's not gonna happen to make me feel better. 3 Quote Nadoriel NODDY'S GRINDING LOG NODDY'S ENTERS THE HISTORIC RUINS (challenge) Race: Half Demon | Class: Adventurer | Character sheet - - - DeviantArt Link to comment
Sylvaa Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Oof! That is super scary! There is never a good time for that to happen, but I'm glad that it didn't have consequences for the patient!

Oh my, yeah that would be scary. And I totally get this feeling of needing to maintain your cool after a mess up; I'm really hard on myself when I make a mistake, and if I'm not careful one mistake leads to another and to another because I'm so down on myself for the first mistake that I'm less attentive and focused than I should be.

That's pretty much how I am. I really take a big hit, I hate messups. I literally had to compartmentalize and kinda hide those guilty feelings in a dark place or I could've had a breakdown. I was probably even more scared that would happen, cause I could feel it coming. I just wanted to hide in somewhere and cry but I had to deal with it and could only relax when at home. The thing is... I do want to get the responsibility of being in charge. I want to learn. And I could really use with getting more income. Being in charge was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I very rarely get it. So I definitely really didn't want to mess it up! Of course, this had to happen. So besides feeling bad for the patient, guilty for myself, afraid of a further breakdown when I still had half a shift to go... I also got afraid my opportunity of "leveling up" on the job is gone. Which I guess helped me gather some kind of cool to pull it off through the day after I knew the patient would be fine. And this not wanting to sound bad. I seriously felt bad and guilty for the patient. I still do. But I can't avoid also feeling bad for myself and for an opportunity that I've probably lost for having messed up. 2 Quote Nadoriel NODDY'S GRINDING LOG NODDY'S ENTERS THE HISTORIC RUINS (challenge) Race: Half Demon | Class: Adventurer | Character sheet - - - DeviantArt Link to comment

Some of the best advice I ever got was that it's not about making a mistake - it's about how you react to the mistakes you make. Realistically, we know no one is perfect, so being mature and handling it is the best thing you can do! 2 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

So I did a scary thing that I was fearing all day yesterday… did my first HIIT bootcamp class at the OCR place. It wasn’t even the class I was worried about, it was whether people would like me or ignore me/be cliquey when I showed up. But everyone was nice! Granted they all knew each other and were friends but I still felt accepted. I almost threw up halfway through the class (I don’t think I’m used to drinking so much water but I needed it) but got through in the end! 1 Quote Introduction thread: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/74498-new-beginnings/Epic Quests: https://www.nerdfitness.com/level-up/my-epic-quest/Current Challenge: https://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/106290-plazmotic-unlearns-what-she-has-learned/ Daily Battle Log: 1 | https://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/106756-in-space-no-one-can-hear-plazmotic-scream/ Previous Challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Link to comment

This is very solid advice. There is a similar quote about attitude: You got this, girl. Stand tall, move forward having learned from the mistake, and go do more awesome things.

I've heard this about OCR athletes and Crossfit athletes (as evidenced by the amazing @Sylvaa). I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone and enjoyed the experience.

The goal is to make people fall in love with what you love, not turn them away with negativity. 1 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment
