Nowhere else is it permissible to crack up over a death. Nowhere else are gross things normal. Nowhere else can I vent about a ream of awful prima donna patients without being told I have no compassion.

Y'all know who you are. And thanks.

it's just those certain nurses that eat their young that freak me out. *sigh*

Aw, they just nibble.

And thanks, too, for those times my heart is breaking at the sadness we all see and you help me through.

Yet another crusty ol' bat checkin' in! There has to be some advantage to living this long and seeing as much and being forced to endure this much... and I guess earning my "crusty ol' bat" badge is a good one. :D

I'd absolutely adore a t-shirt!! seriously, I know where we could get our shirts printed!
