Since you’ll probably be in this same situation tomorrow morning … Check your e-mail at about 11:00 pm. 😉 ---

Well, here I am trudging through another shift. You guys are great. Thank you so much–you kept me awake and _sane_ today. I did actually go and look at all the links I could (some were blocked here at work). When my shift ends at 6am tomorrow, I am going home and sleeping for hours! You guys can enjoy the fact that you kept the central command post of a hospital functional today! Good job! P.S. Patrick, you are a complete nut! Thanks for the e-mails! 😉 ---

Double shifts? 2 hours off before returning to work??? I’d use my time to polish up my resume and check the job sites. ---

But we are just short-staffed temporarily. Besides, I have a private office all to myself and unlimited internet all night. It’s not so bad–caffeine is our friend! ---

In the LOVE, LUST, MARRIAGE vein: A mistress says: “Are you done already?” A prostitute says: “Aren’t you done yet?” A wife says: “I think it’s time to paint the ceiling.” Some simple old faves of mine (none original): There once was a lady named Bright Who could travel far faster than light. She went out one day In a relative way And returned the previous night. Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today; I wish that man would go away. There once was a fellow from Tripoli Who liked to make love rather nippily. Complained one young lass While rubbing her ass, “Less teethily, please, and more lippily!” “Contrariwise,” continued Tweedledee, “if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” Pastor: “Mr. Clemens, I do wish you’d not use profanity!” Twain: “Now, Reverend, you and I use the same words. You use them in prayer and I use them in anger, but neither of us means anything by it.” Cecil Graham: What is a cynic? Lord Darlington: A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Peace, TN\*hippie ---
