One Vote for Madness


So where was I? Promotion, Disaster Drill - by the way, I died, employee went to court - on probation but no jail - it was a good day indeed. My "Little" was a bee in her ballet recital last Friday and Saturday night-aren't they cute? Last week, I was so busy that I had to blow off my book club. Pride & Prejudice was the selection - have you ever read the book? Yeah, me neither! My heart is completely broken because I was also forced to miss THE Jen Lancaster. On a positive note, I started Weight Watchers online, made it to the trainer twice this week, and got a new trendy haircut with some color. AND Oh My Gawd I bought a dress. Oh yes sir I sure did - so once I wear it, I am marking it off my list.
Have you ever been in a plus sized dressing room? Well I have and almost fell over in mine today when I heard the woman in the room next to me say, Are they kidding - push up bras do not belong on boobs this big. If I push them up too high, they'll choke me. Plastic pillows, what the hell do I need with plastic pillows. The woman with her was trying to convince her that baby doll shirts look good on plus sized women if they are wearing the right bra. To me, that is like convincing a toothless hooker that she would look like a banker if she wore the right lipstick and a blazer with her fishnets. All the way around it is a stretch.
There is so much hospital drama that I could write about, but I am not sure it is all that interesting to civilians. We kind of stood around the other night in the Emergency Department laughing about how bizarre we are as we waiting for a Gun Shot Wound to show up after hearing he had been delivered to the front door rather than to the ED. We are a bizarre breed of people that we can dig through the pants of a man who has been hit by a train in an attempt to identify him or that during a bomb threat we will drive back towards the very hospital being threatened just to make sure everyone is ok. I am so happy with my job, whether I am presenting functionality information to the COO, participating in the Employee of Month committee selection, or asking an intoxicated homeless man to watch his language as he is offending other patients in the vicinity. Mysterious or Madness - you decide.
