Isn't it interesting when the person with the best sense of humor, most patience, and greatest integrity in the room is the person that probably stands no taller than 3 1/2 feet.
It's Saturday, it's 4:00 PM. I've got 4 hours left of work (I work 8AM to 8PM on Fridays and Saturdays) and this must be the worst day I've worked yet in the 7 months I've been here. No on wants to wait. Everyone that has walked through the doors and most of the calls that have come in have been from people unwilling or very begrudgingly accepting a long wait. As if they are all alone in the matter. In fact, I am so overwhelmed and busy that I don't have time to be writing this entry and am therefore going to post as is and edit later. (wish me luck, i may be accused of attempted murder or aggravated assault at some point today.)
Well, I got through the evening without laying a hand on anyone. Well, not a malevolent hand, that is. I put my hand on a nurses shoulder in a gesture of compassion and camaraderie. So, the night ended better than it began and I sailed through without a hitch. I wish I was an oscar meyer weiner.
