Well the title of my thread fits then.

anjae, i used to work retail and we could always tell when it was a full moon because customers would go nuts!

Wow, I had no idea. I've briefly worked in retail a couple times in my life but, by then, didn't made the connection.

Impatience and anxiety can be us moving to new stage of growth. Growth/change can be stressing. If used in the right way it will bring us to a even more advanced stage of growth.

Settlements, court cases, alimony. All those things seem to hang over our heads and to take forever to sort out with an MLCer. Phew.

I worked in retail for over 20 years and knew it was full moon based on the customers behavior before I ever saw the moon!

One can, therefore, conclude that it is not a good idea to go to a hospital/health centre or shopping, at least in busy shops, during a full moon. 

I know that full moons and drinking alcohol do not bond well. The effects of the alcohol are enhanced.

And we all know that, as a general rule, it is better to stay away from a MLCer during a full moon.

Well with that conclusion made, please pray for me tomorrow, I have to go to a hospital, being that I work there.  I need to plan this better in the future. lol

[Anjae]

I will. It was you that told us nurses notice full moons because people go crazy. Hence my conclusion.  So, we can consider you a veteran of the trenches of hospital full moon. 

Not to say you don't need all our prayers and thoughts, but you have a headstart. 

Here in Portugal everyone is been going crazy in hospitals for months. They are over capacity. It all started with the flu (and the government cuts) and escalated from there.

People have die waiting to be seen in the ER, people, including elderly one, who have strokes or pneumonia are kept in corridors or short permanence ER rooms for days, sometimes up to 10 days.

The full moon must had arrived here long ago and is refusing to leave. Needless to say, all medical, nursing and health aid personal is exhausted. Our hospital and personal are good, but it is almost impossible to work the way they are working. And we are a EU country with a good NHS. Imagine if we weren't.

OMG that is terrible Anjae. The flu has hit bad here in the States also, we have been very busy and the nurse's and doctor's have been sick too, but not to that extent. Exhaustion in healthcare workers is not a good thing because that's when dangerous mistakes are made. I often wonder in all governments why the average people are worth so little. You can pay a sports figure millions of dollars and generate absurd amounts of money for sporting events, movies and television shows, but you can't take care of your nations children, elderly and sick people. Then they want to take more taxes and money from the working class to pay for it all.

I have felt really unstable the last few days.  Thinking I may not win in my battle to survive. Crying every day. It's a mental battle not to dwell on the impending divorce. STBXH is home for several days during this full moon so I'm really freaked out  I hate feeling this sick

[Searching4Answers]

Full moon is taking its toll on me this month I have been looking for a place to move to that will allow my cats and is a decent place - yesterday I found the perfect place, I was so excited. I was told that it was available and I could see it the next day - I called again because I hadn't heard anything and was told that it was rented now It really bummed me out - more so than I would have thought it would. I think the full moon pushed me over the edge - I probably needed a good cry anyway.

[Anjae]

HopeFaithLove, it is. And there is no reason for what is happening. We have state of the art hospitals, great staff, and all latest the knowledge on health issues. But with money cuts and lack of personnel, well, disaster follow.

You will make it, Greenapple. This full moon is making pretty much everyone anxious and agitated.

Searching4Answers, I'm sorry about the place. A good cry is always useful.

The moon is still very full and it pours into my bedroom. These past few days have been odd. On one side I'm very calm, but several family members are loosing it, on the other there is anxiety and a few days back I was too tired and lost it a bit with grandmother.
