I love the library one!

Can I tell you that once upon a time I actually got run over by a crash cart? It's a pretty embarrassing story, but (to be short) we had a code but the code cart was externally pacing someone else at the time, so I had to run and get the other cart. Someone beat me to it so I just ran ahead and hit the button for the double doors to open up, but the girl must of not realized that the doors just don't open instantly and just ran me down! All people saw was me flying through the double doors and eating the ground! Which of course made me look like I was totally over-reacting to the code. :madface: Anyway, I had micro-tearing of my achilles tendon and had to be in PT for a couple of mths.

Well, I still work at the same place, and if often comes up and people laugh at me again and again. What to do?? Luckily it wasn't a bad injury and PT fixed it, but it really is a good story. Not many people have been mowed down in that way! :chuckle

The funniest part is that since it was a code, I just layed there on the ground and nobody helped me! The manager of the computer department was just happening by and he lifted me up to my feet and took me down to the ER.

I can just hear the nurses now saying, "where is that tech???"

I thought that was "You Might be a mother" :chuckle

as far as student,

You might be a nursing student if your books require wheels

You wear your Stethoscope for fun

You gave up clothes for scrubs

Your Husband goes to work in long sleeves to hide the needle marks or tells his boss he is married to a crazed lunatic with a needle

#18 had me rolling on the floor. I swear that's all I seem to hear in my own thoughts lately followed immediately by, "Where can I find that written in English?"

The t-shirt idea is great. I wonder if you wouldn't mind if we tried it at our school, as well?

There's a site called http://www.cafepress.com where you can design shirts, mugs, etc. and sell them. Maybe somebody could set up a store and then those of us who are interested could buy shirts? Just an idea...
