Weekend diversions

What kinds of movies will a rehab nurse watch before hanging out with hundreds of other rehab nurses? Well, if you're into history and sports,like I am, you'll watch The Best of Men. My favorite part was watching it on Bubba's computer (which has a big screen). Somehow I got it on closed captioning by mistake.

Maybe because I have a lot of parental controls turned on (maybe note), but I noticed that all the swear words were not included.

Another interesting article I found today was this article about the big cheese at one hospital taking a pay cut. What a novel idea. Hope this one spreads.

Now I just get to make dinner and get ready for Monday.

More to come, so stay tuned!

To teach...

Or not to teach.

When I see what they pay these online teachers, I'm not really interested.

Even if I went back to school, I wouldn't get much more with a PhD.

Nice. Will have to find something else that's a little more lucrative. I have a practice test to take for one organization that at least get me CEUs. (and an average of $20 per hour for taking a test)

Might as well do that instead. Stay tuned.

Post script to Congress

Oh, good old, do nothing Congress decides to go retro and cause a government shutdown.

Too bad the economy isn't as good as it was way back when and no, the old timers here aren't lovingly talking about what fun it was to work and not get paid.

Nice.

Just wait, Congress, payback is hell.

Dear Congress

In the immortal words of one oft-quoted Saturday Night Live character played by Dana Carvey, "Isn't that special?"



Special that you might actually have to work late to get something done tonight. Some of my coworkers will work late to make sure patients get taken care of tonight.

Special that you just happen to be exempt from any government shutdown furloughs, pay freezes and the like. Maybe I should send you my smallest bill and so should everyone of your constituents.

That's right, if you get your pay, and some of your constituents are allowed to work for free until you stop fighting amongst yourselves, then you should share.

And yes, I do know that in a mere 18 days, we could have more excrement hit the fan with that lil' old debt ceiling thingy. (I could get more technical--with that business knowledge I have--but I don't think you all get the dismal science stuff).

We have a lot of excrement at the Hotel on the evening shift. I'd sure like to send you some if you don't get your act together. Work on it or I will during the next election.

Hugs, kisses and a bowel program or two. (Hey, you deserve it ALL!)

Sincerely not,

RehabRN
