I need a vacation

I keep having work dreams, especially ones where I'm out in triage.

Last night I dreamed that I was triaging in someone's living room behind a screen, using a crotchety old dinosaur of a computer (like a Commodore 64)! It was frustrating and I couldn't get a lot done, and people were waiting for a long time to get triaged.

My last complaint before I woke up? A mom brought her daughter in because the child was going to a costume party dressed as the Mona Lisa, and the mother couldn't get the kid's makeup right and wanted me to do it. The last thing I remember was trying to look on the Internet for pictures of the Mona Lisa and mixing foundation with moisturizer to lighten it up a little. Then I woke up.

Thank goodness this is my last week of work before we go on vacation for two weeks...

Oh, yes. Something involving sitting on my ass with a fruity drink and sand under my feet. Can't WAIT!

Are you sure that didn't really happen? Sounds like something that might have happened in our ER. Oy!

Have a nice relaxing and SAFE vacation. Don't end up in an ER!

Sounds like you could use a vacation.

I'm an EMT, and while working overnight a few nights ago, I was able to catch a little bit of sleep. Emphasis on little, as I woke up every 10 minutes convinced we had a call. I dreamed up dispatch information and everything.

Whoa!

Awesome dreams....my work dreams usually involve forgetting a patient until the end of the shift.

No classical references, no computers.

Your dreams are saying....."It's time!

Sand and fruity drinks? Sounds like my kind of thing! Enjoy responsibly.
