So, I spent American Thanksgiving at my parents. Diane gave me a ride and ended up being the only one of their friends who bothered to show up. The sweat went well, but afterwards they ended up having too much food for the lasagna dinner.
They had me stay over so they could go shopping with me on Black Friday. So, I had Lord Vader give me a wake up call after we planned our itinerary. My wake up call didn't come, but I heard them get up and so I did too. They ended up not wanting to leave in a timely manner because they didn't want to wait in line, so we showed up at Kohl's after they opened and secured the digital crockpot they were after. When we left the building I had a voice message. My 04:30 wakeup call left a message at 06:08! I guess the Dark Lord of the Sith feels he's entitled to be late for an appointment.
After that they dropped me off at Staples while they went to OfficeMax. Eventually, Staples personnel came down the line to tell us that they were already out of stock for everything on the front page, and that the Web site was out of the following list they read. So, no attachee USB drive for me. By the time I rejoined my parents they had missed out on getting their stuff there as well as the USB hub I had wanted. Apparently while she was there this guy bought eighty of something on sale and then was arguing with the staff about how he was owed eighty rebate slips, not one. Apparently these jokers have never read the ads in which these specials are offered. They are always limited to one per customer on the Black Friday morning sales. So I'm guessing that's what happened to the stuff we were after at both Staples and OfficeMax.
So we went to some craft place to get some yarn for them, and the ad was totally misleading! The picture showed one type of yarn, but the small print indicated some lame yarn instead. They accepted the defeat and bought the good yarn anyway. Then we went to K Mart, newfound bane of my existance.
I'm like Greg Focker from Meet The Parents
Laughter is the best medicine. And it looks like you are skilled at using humor as a remedy for what ails you, or your patients, for that matter. Like Gaylord (Greg) Focker from the film, you've got a finely-developed funny bone and you're not afraid to use it. With your disposition, you can lighten even dark moods and more importantly, put a smile on patients' faces.
Like your nurse counterpart (who, let's not forget, endures constant ribbing for being a male nurse), you're proud of your profession and enjoy helping people. You feel fulfilled when you care for others and maybe even get them to laugh, too — even if they're laughing at, not with, you. So keep lifting people's spirits. It's sure to give a lift to their health, too. And that's what nursing is all about.
