Event Horizon Approaches
Evening. Since I haven't posted much lately, I figured i would put an update on here for anyone who might be stalking me. We are only one month away form the big move into our newly purchased house. Everyone keeps asking if I am excited. Frankly, no. I hardly get excited. I seem to be somewhat emotionally deficient in that area at least. I will be excited when we are moved in, painted, cleaned and all the details are taken care of, or possibly when we sign and close and get the keys in our hands. I will however be happy when the packing and moving ordeal gets done. I hate all this crap. OK, more to come later.

Things I Hear at Work That you Probably Don't: Take 2
So wonderful night of work last night, even though i got called in part-way through Kung Fu Panda. I worked with some of my favorite nurses, and the pace was slow as far as patient needs, so we got to enjoy ourselves a bit. My bestest gay buddy, and apparently my doppelganger in nursing was there, and we were riding the same cynical, passive-aggressive wavelength all night.
Some of the highlights were:
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Martha while assisting a patient back into bed...
Patient (to Nurse Kevin): You look like a football player
Nurse Kevin: I know I look like one, but I am not....just a nurse here.
Nurse Kevin leaves the room.
Nurse Jasen to Nurse Martha (out of ear-shot of Patient): So I wonder if Kevin is a tight end or a wide receiver?
Nurse Martha (to Patient): So Mr. Patient, do you think Kevin is a tight end or a wide receiver?
Patient: Well I would have to try him out to see.
Hilarity ensues.....and I almost have an asthma attack from laughing so hard
Nurse Martha: Oh my God! Did you see that thing fly by? I think it was a maggot and it grew wings! (we had had a conversation about medicinal uses of maggots earlier)
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: Every time a call bell rings a maggot gets it's wings!
Respiratory Therapist Dan: So I got a new baby! (displaying a picture of his sweet new Harley Davidson)
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: (generic sounds of appreciation)
Respiratory Therapist Dan: the best thing about it is when i ride it, no matter how I sit, the vibration just runs up my nuts, and I get a raging hard on. So I get off the bike and go into a bar all boned up.
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: (generic laughter)
Respiratory Therapist Dan: Lately it has been the only time I get my rocks off. So obviously I ride it when ever I can.
Yes, it was a good night in ICU.
