So, so glad

It's Election Day, a day we should thank our lucky stars that many veterans have fought and died for us to stand in line and vote for what we believe will make our lives better.

I'm also so happy that the robocalls will finally stop. It's so sweet when a call comes over and says "Political call" on the caller ID.

Quiet at dinner time? I can only hope...stay tuned!

Things you learn at a conference

1. There are long lines for any good free stuff.
2. Occasionally someone you know will win a raffle.
3. Some conferences feed you exceptionally well (meals and snacks), and others, not so much.
4. Your boss,will get up and dance,if some nurses from another hospital pick him up under the arms and drag him.
5. One of your coworkers will document #4  for posterity.
6. You will volunteer someone else to babysit the boss and entertain him/her, so you can escape.
7. Some people can speak before hundreds of people, and others, not so much.
8.  You find that lots of people have problems similar to those on your unit.
9. When you work for a large healthcare system, everyone knows everyone in one way or another. Six degrees of separation? Nope. It's more like two.
10. Finally, enjoy your old and new friends whenever you get the chance. You never know when it will be the last time you see them.
