Actually the aliens are in the nursery... on the door.

The goats are on the locked door going into the L&D area. :eek:

Strange, but true. We even convinced the oncoming nurses that we saw them, and they saw them too!

NO I was NOT partaking of the morphine! :p

So, the babies are greeted by goats, then hang out with the aliens?

Yes, ma'am! ;)

I didn't even mention the ghosts in the C-Section OR! :eek:

All you need are some jellyfish in the waiting room.

We've had them. I had security escort them out of the hospital. :D

Jellyfish only cause Jerry Springer moments.

Did security use butterfly nets? You know jellyfish can only be successful herded with butterfly nets, don't you?

OMG, I didn't know that! They used fishing poles with popsicles as bait! I bet that's why they keep coming back!

There's your problem. They expect popsicles every time they come back. Just have security chase them off with butterfly nets next time.

I don't know if we have butterfly nets. We are a small rural hospital. Typically no more than 25 patients in the entire hospital at one time.

What about bubbles? Will they follow a trail of bubbles?

Maybe if they're edible bubbles.

Oh, grape flavored of course! ;)

Perfect.

Just be sure not to let any hedgehogs in after the jellyfish leave.

Hedgehogs? Are they as dangerous as the jellyfish?

:( Oh my god this day hasn't started great.

I came home crying.

So I went in it was 9:20 and the old mean secretary was there. And so I sat down and she was like "Sarah your late, we'll have to reschedual" and I was like "What? How? My appointment isn't till 9:30??" and she was like "It was for 9:00" and I can swear to you guys that she said 9:30 last week. I wrote it down everywhere... 9:30 now I look like some idiot that doesn't know how to read time... and then the old lady goes on and says "well make sure you call ahead to let us know your keeping the appointment".. at that point I couldn't help but burst into tears. I really wanted this. I just hate being so disrespected by my elders, and I just really wanted this... :(

Not so much dangerous, as annoying. Lots of pacing and crying and demanding attention form anyone wearing scrubs. Always underfoot, and that's not a comfortable place for hedgehogs to be.

Sarah, have the jellyfish invaded?

What was the appointment for?

I bet we could chase them out with the salamanders though.

*huggles*

Eat some chocolate and drink some peppermint tea (if you have some). That almost always helps me feel at least a little better.

It was for school. It's this program that helps individuals in Ontario to go to school, it's funded by the government. It would be such a super duper help for me. My load would be a lot lighter that's for sure...

Now I look like a total idiot to the lady that is going to interview me on Wed. because of the secretary's mistake.

I know I heard 9:30.. :( I just know I did.

It hurt when the lady looked at me like some dumb little girl. I hate that... just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm stupid :(

As long as they're not blue salamanders. Hedgehogs and blue salamanders are cohorts.

Green salamanders would work. Pink would be even better. Hedgehogs are terrified of pink salamanders. The run screaming about something that sounds vaguely like, 'nettles.' or maybe it's, 'needles.'

I am so sorry that the day started this way. I hope it gets better. :)

Dam, it's the blue salamanders that are indigenous to my neck 'o the woods.

I know! I know! Hummingbirds! That's the ticket!

Of course you aren't stupid. Chalk it up to Monday. Maybe she was having a bad day too. Maybe someone pi$$ed in her Wheaties this morning.

You will charm her on Wednesday I'm sure.

Hummingbirds will be perfect. And the only thing you have to do to make sure they don't bother the staff, is make sure they always have plenty of coffee to drink.

Oh, coffee is no problem. We mainline coffee at night. I can give them coffee IVs if they want.:D

Thanks guys... you made me feel a lot better.

Ugh..

Tea does sound good.. chocolate too.

Oh, well, I'm having a beer. Remember, it's late night for me.

I'm glad you are feeling better. We wouldn't want our little muddy to make mud pies cause she's cryin'

Speaking of...

Kittens p!ssed in one of my shoes until it was so wet it made a puddle on the floor. It's soaking in a bucket of water, vinegar, and dish soap. If I knew who did it, I'd strangle them.

IV's might be tricky. Do you even HAVE needles that small? And it might be kind of hard to get them to hold still. All that coffee makes them jittery.

Then spoil yourself. Your week had a sh!tty start, you deserve the extra treat.

Ah, well, hummingbird feeders filled with coffee will have to do.

Ladies and Germs, time for me to get a good day's sleep.

Dang, I hope I don't dream about aliens and goats.

night. That was fun. I don't get much complete randomness like that in my life anymore. I've missed it.

I hope I made you smile Heath! I don't get randomness either. It was fun.

Good night, J. Rest well. :)

I have a very lucky pillow...

It's about to get some head!! :D:D:eek:

Oooouufff I feel so blob-ish!

:D I treated myself, talked to a good friend, and now I feel like a million bucks. I can't wait till Wednesday to come and just try my best...

Good mental outlook. :)

Friends and comfort can fix just about anything.

Speaking of food, my stomach is going to eat itself if I don't put something in it.
