Friday flashback

Ah, the 1990s. I was young and carefree and unattached.

I was working in another world, where I planned to travel and market products everywhere, just so I'd get to go on trips. There was no such thing as travelling without my favorite Swiss Army knife that I bought in Switzerland.

I eventually went on a few trips, but alas, my employer never paid for them.

From my desk, via fax machine and the occasional local meeting, I met people from around the world  in my office in RehabLand. When I travelled, I visited my coworkers. I always planned a year in advance, got super cheap fares and even stayed in a youth hostel or two.

I had a blast learning about the places where my coworkers came from. I saw mountains, valleys, stadiums, fireworks, suspension bridges, and even a shoe museum. I visited castles and candy factories. I met butchers, greengrocers and bakers.

I worked for a boss who had a mental disorder. It was crazy, but it was fun.

Wonder if I'll say the same about right now one of these days?

Flashbacks to the last conference tonight when Bubba played this

Now, just imagine a hundred or so nurses, young and old, hamming it up in a stuffed shirt old money style ballroom.

Ah, memories! Cheers boys and girls!

It's all Nurse K's fault...

That I had flashbacks to one of my favorite fuzzy memories of Saturday Night Live. This guy used to have my late father in stitches whenever he showed up, and adjusted the belt.



Nurse K: I like Mr. Bill, too, almost as much as these two characters. Excellent!

Enjoy the weekend, folks, wherever you are.

Party on!

The mice will play. I am so glad I am not responsible about telling the big boss about all the havoc the sister hospitals have perpetrated by NOT doing what they're supposed to do. Had to report it, but nothing will ever happen at the rate Madison moves.

Oh, so much fun. At least, it won't harm patients or the innocent, but I wish the guilty parties would just get over it and do their work for once.

Ah, love flashbacks to the old life...it's just the same as the floor without as many bodily fluids. So much fun....stay tuned.

Flashback

Once upon a time, I carried a laptop wherever I went for work. Every so often, I went to meetings with my team in restaurants. What better way to see what was happening out in the world.

Met up with a couple of members of the software madness team today for lunch...who brought laptops and met in a restaurant, some with nice, cold frosty beverages. I miss the people but not the neuroses of some of our customers.

Now if JCAHO would let us have beverages at the nurses' station....ahh!

More later...
