"That nurse runs around here like a cat in a room full o' rockers."

My dad always said someone is "as nervous as as long tail cat in a room full of rockers."

Another of my favorites that dad said was "If you kids don't stop arguing, I'm going to tie your tails together, throw you over a close line, and let you fight it out." That always stopped our arguing, because we were too busy trying to figure out how Dad would tie our tails together. I've actually said it to some co-workers who kept bickering.

There's a Dr. Seuss type poem that I say when work is getting to me:

"I love my job

I love my pay

I love it more and more each day

I love my boss. He is the best.

I love his boss and all the rest."

It goes on several verses and ends with

"I even love those friendly men.

Those friendly men who've come today

In clean white coats to take me away"

We seem to have a lot of "fall victims" in the nursing homes around 5 am.

I like to call them "casualties of the predawn gravitational shift"

My supervisor likes to say the "fecal material hits the proverbial oscillating motor"

And I learned cattywampus. My old folks love it. Additionally, "wifty" is a popular word around here to describe someone not all there.
