Some nights at work there's a lot of down time, and some of us read on our Kindles or use our iPads for whatever. The hospital has Wi-Fi, and if you use the hospital Wi-Fi on whatever device you're using, some sites are still blocked, just like if you were using the hospital computer.
Usually I read on my Kindle, but on nights when a certain other nurse is there, I don't even try, because she is always talking to me, so I usually just browse Facebook and Twitter on my iPad on those nights. The other night, I decided to try to pull up another trans site on my iPad's Safari browser, figuring it would be blocked. It came up, and I guess I said, "Oh wow" out loud, cause that nurse said, "What?" and looked over my shoulder. And without even thinking, I said, "Oh, it's a transgender site. I just figured the network would block it." I instantly realized what I said, and thought "Oh crap" to myself. But she just said "Yeah, it's surprising some of the stuff the network lets you see and what it blocks," and turned around and went back to her own browsing. That was it. And I probably said it loud enough that the other nurses at the nurses station could hear it, although I don't even remember now how many people were sitting there. And nothing. No comments, no nothing. So either nobody cares, or they're just talking about me behind my back. Could be either, knowing how nurses love to gossip.
