Let's start off with a little joke. A little chuckle.
Why do mermaids wear sea shells?
The hell of it is, I can't think of anything better right now! Yeah, my brain is fried. Six nights down, one to go. Luckily, last night was not a ball-breaker! I feel rather fortunate about that. I am also a lot less tired when I don't have to run all night.
One more wonderful incident, then I'll let you alone. A friend of mine, who shall remain unnamed to protect the guilty, is in security at the hospital. I was visiting with him at his post when a man came up wheeling his wife in a wheelchair, heading to the emergency department. Have I mentioned that we're remodeling? Anyway, the old entrance has been closed; where the entrance used to be is a wall, a really solid-looking wall. No mistake at all, it's a wall.
A little more background to this story: The only entrance to the hospital at night is a door that is locked. It is a two-part door: on the right side, the door opens towards the outside, and may be unlocked with a keypad by the door or by a button at the security desk. There is a sign on the door saying that the door is locked, and that it would be necessary to have security let you in. People routinely ignore the security person and the sign. This makes for many chuckles.
OK, the other side of the door also opens out, and it is not locked from the inside. Anybody can get out anytime they want to. However, about 75% of the people trying to get out will try to get out of the other side (their left side). It is locked, of course. They get very frustrated, and I have seen several give up in exasperation, resigning themselves to stay in the hospital until sunrise, I guess. I have no idea why these folks don't think to push on the other door... people usually walk down the right side of the hallway, anyway... it only makes sense (to me) to go out of the door on the right side... I usually eventually have mercy on these people, showing them the proper way to open a door...
Humor is sometimes really hard to come by on third shift.
Because the B-shells are too small...
And the D-shells are too big!
A lot of the feeling better might be anticipation, too. I am really looking forward to this vacation. I've earned it, I deserve it, and by golly, I'm gonna have fun!

Well, this fella was wheeling his wife towards the wall, like he was expecting it to open up. Well, that's kinda understandable, because before it was a wall, it was a door. Anyway, Steve said, "No, don't do that, that's a wall." and steered them in the right direction.
"No, don't do that, that's a wall."
