So, I wound up spending almnost an hour laying half-naked in front of the entire Circus this morning.

Yeah, take a moment to let that one soak in.
The EMTs and a few nurses had to come in for a mandatory inservice on stat echocardiograms at 0630 this morning, and they needed a volunteer. So, Amy, one of the department managers, volunteered me.
Amy: (In thick Tagalog accent) Eric, would you like to volunteer?
Eric: (Standing behind about four people that she could've easily chosen) Yeah, like I have a choice...
Five hours later, I show up for my shift and my nude scene is the talk of the department. It ws pretty freakin' brutal, made more brutal by the fact that this physiology tech that was giving the inservice managed to stretch five minutes worth of information into a 45-minute dialogue.
It did, however, lend itself to comedy over breakfast w/Jen, a nurse I call Hurricane b/c she cuts a path of destruction wherever she walks and who one time chucked a butter knife at my head from across the break room. Hurricane was retelling the story to Diane as we were walking up w/our trays and drew up a conspiracy theory.
Hurricane: Then Amy pulls him in front of the group and asks him to volunteer. Yeah, like that wasn't planned!
