NJM-12 in NoJoMo13

So, I guess a lot of people got married today, because of the date...11/12/13. I even heard of a few couples who got married at 9:10 on 11/12/13. I wonder if that helps the forgetful ones to remember their anniversary?

Something happened to me today that rarely EVER happens. I got totally overwhelmed and had to just...check out for 15 minutes. I wasn't physically overwhelmed. It was more of an emotional thing. We just have a lot of complicated cases right now...and one of them is just downright heartbreaking. Another nurse cried off and on all day yesterday. Oh, she did it privately...in the bathroom or outside during a smoke break...but the rest of us did what we could to support her. I guess today was my day. The 15 minute time out really helped and I was able to go regain my perspective and go back to work. I love what I do. It's all I've ever wanted to do, for as long as I can remember. I never dread going to work. But right now, I'm REALLY looking forward to the weekend. Perhaps things will be a little better once I switch back to my regular weekend shifts.

Ugh. Another 25 year old has decided that he reeeeeaaaaallly likes older women and thinks I'm soooooooo pretty. I just don't even know what to do with that. It's flattering and all...but all I could do with him is sexual stuff. What the heck would we talk about? Not to mention that I am already seeing someone. Which, of course, is a casual thing...but I seem to vaguely remember 25 year old men being a little possessive. Eh. Whatever. I'll flirt with him harmlessly for a bit and then cut him loose.
