Wednesday wrapup

Unlike other blogs, I tried to stay away from personal events in the beginning, thinking that nobody wanted to hear my daily humdrum... But because of the recent poll results, I suppose I can add a little looky looky into mi vida loca. So here goes.



This is where I had to eat breakfast. Like a bum out on the marble benches of the new building.


I couldn't even read my weekly newspaper, The Village Voice, probably the best liberal read around. I've got to get my weekly fix of 'Savage Love' and 'Pucker Up'.

The biggest inconvience of the JCAHO survey is that we can't eat where we usually eat, which is right across the hallway in a under-used hydrotherapy room. I had to eat my breakfast out in the new building foyer; and everyday now we're all struggling on where to go for lunch since I haven't brown-bagged it all this week and we have to either go out to eat (1st ave offers little in terms of edible cuisine), or bring lunch and eat on the 12th floor, which is a pain to get to especially with the stupid hospital elevators... Why can't people take the stairs when they're only travelling one floor?
Almost lunch now and there's no sign of where the survey team is, and nobody has heard anything in a while. It's rather quiet... too quiet.

Wednesday afternoon: we got 5 minutes till we all jet out. No JCAHO yet, and tomorrow is the last chance they'll get to survey this department. Odds are good that they'll pass us by.

In the interim, we've elected our "Volunteer of the Week"...

It's Big L!!! I call her Big L simply because I always forget her name, but I do know it starts with the letter "L", so I just call her "Big L." Without her, we would have to endure our long, thankless day with dirty sheets and grumbling patients. It is with great thanks and adoration that we elect Big L for volunteer of the week...
Now go get me a sandwich!!!
