Moodnighting

"omigosh! Matt! You're working a Day shift?!?!?"
"yeah. I do them occasionally."
"how's it been?"
"well, it's brighter than night shift."
"...... And?"
"There are more people. It's much much louder."
"Yeah. Days are like that."
"And everybody seems in a better mood."


"Here. Try some."
"Oooh, what are they?"
"Blueberry raisins. Dehydrated blueberries."
"Neat! Did you make these yourself?"
"Well, no. I put them in the oven."

Man wakes up after spending 2 weeks sedated while we keep him alive. A day later we take out the breathing tube. Honest to Gods, the first words out of his mouth were "Did the Canucks win the playoffs?".

PotentialTremors

So at work tonight, every time the floor would rumble I'd think it was an earthquake.

*rumble rumble*
Yay! Earthquake!
Aww, pneumatic tube system.

*rumble rumble*
Yippee! Earth shaking chaos!
Awww, medical evac Helicopter.

*rumble rumble*
Squeee! End of the world!
Awwww, diesel generator test starting.

By the end, my hopes were totally crushed that I'd actually be awake for an Earthquake. Oh well. It Is kinda interesting when you realize how often the hospital building shakes and rumbles overnight though.
