Sorry I haven't been around during all the hubbub here on NLU. I went away for a few days and look what happens when I'm off-line!

Anyway, a few days not working, relaxing by the sea, bicycling and reading books----these are the things that keep me sane (not to mention red wine, dark chocolate, and a few other indulgences which shall remain nameless.)

I've been working hard at the health center, giving beaucoup flu shots day in and day out. And when flu season rolls around, many providers decide to look at patients' health maintenance profiles and update ppd's and Td's and Pneumovax's at the same time, so you can just imagine how the needles fly! Well, they don't actually fly, but they sure move fast!

Plus, even though I often work per diem in CCU, I was actually floated to the psych unit right when I got back from being away, and I found that I really liked it. The staff are all very supportive of one another, the patients are treated well, and I found myself quite happy and relaxed. Hmmm. Not that I'm not happy at work on most days, but the change of pace was nice. Does this mean something for my future?
