My co-worker just gave a Happy Birthday sticker to a sex offender. Convicted rapist. Birthday sticker. I love my job.
A patient told another provider that he believes he has lead poisoning from the lube on his vibrator. I love my job.
At AIDS Administration meeting earlier this week. We were told there are many Positive changes being made. No one cracked a smile. I love my job.

I sat down to eat my pancakes this morning in front of an episode of Bones. And although I have a strong stomach for gore (but not for french fries, unjustly), and although I was very excited about my damn pancakes, this image brought me close to hurling.
Damn that schlocky nightime soap. Damn it!

Isaac Mizrahi has developed a bag inspired by the New York Times. I never thought of it as a handbag. Or as something that inspires great visual art. I mean, they call it the Gray Lady for goodness sakes. Odd.
The bag:

This is what the analog to digital broadcasting changeover has meant to me- more access to spanish language PBS offerings. Channel 67 is local PBS, with all kinds of incredibly dry and often laugh-tracked shows starring old people. And 67.2 in the new digital pantheon brings more of this well-intentioned but very-boring-to-me programming. But 67.3 is the real kicker. For instance, here's what was playing last night in the 9:00 slot:
Expose on ol Maria Monty. Did she really love children? Were those accusations true about her little experiments during her time as a prison warden? I should have watched to find out.

A conversation with a patient today. I am not making this up.
Me: I know you two are in a happy place right now, but you told me the abuse has been going on for years, and it's likely to happen again. You don't deserve to be treated like that.
Patient: Thank you. I know you're right because I watch a lot of LMN-Lifetime Movie Network.
Me: [Pause where I have no idea what to say. I decide to ignore it.] Yeah, no one should ever hit you. So when you're ready to talk about getting to a safer place, I want to help. Let me know.
Can I include this in my yearly self-eval? Along with the time I buffed a guy's feet with a nail file to get the layers of fungus and skin cells off? That should count for more than "commitment to team" and "attitude- a positive force."
