Tidbit
I had a brief conversation with my new counterpart on my unit. She will be training me in the ways of the Force, my young Jedi. Like how to use the Force to discharge a patient in the hospital database. We're talking some serious ninja shit here!

I like her and she has radiant skin which is always a plus. Sorry, I'm a man. She's in her mid-20's and has worked in that position 5 years. In a way that's encouraging since, if the job really sucked someone wouldn't stick around for 5 years.

Anywho, she did one funny, passive-agressive thing worth noting.
I said, "I met Sue, the Nurse Manager."
She looked at me blankly as if in non-recognition.
I repeated, "Sue, she's a Nurse Manager right?"
She said, "No."

....long silence....

I said, "Is there as Sue who works here?"
She said, "Yeah, she's the Assistant Nurse Manager."

ARG! Hahah! How could I be so totally wrong as to mistake the Nurse Manager for the Assistant Nurse Manager and could she not have volunteered that information rather than making me drag it out of her?

It's no big deal, like I said, she seems nice in general. It was just a little tidbit that stuck in my mind. Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's off to work I go.

That would be awesome! I've been wearing slack, a dress shirt and a tie, so far. I like the way I look and the way other employees and patients mistake me for a Dr. but it's a real pain keeping clean, ironing, etc. And the fact that I only have 3 ties right now means I'd have to buy more but at $50 a pop, that's a big chunk of my income. So I doubt I'll be keeping up the tie wearing unfortunately.
