Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

It's a good thing I work in a hospital
Nothing like having one of your senior managers throw a grand mal seizure on the couch in your office to get your day started.
Typical, Wednesday morning staff meeting, and all of a sudden, she gets this frozen grin on her face, refuses to answer or respond to me, and then goes completely rigid. I managed to knock over my coffee table (with coffee), get her on the floor without hitting her head while she's convulsing and call a code. Luckily, there are three physicians within about 20 feet of my office, and there was a crash cart, O2 and a medical team on her within 30 seconds.
That hasn't happened since my 6'8" boyfriend in grad school had an epileptic seizure in the shower and cracked his head open on the faucet. THAT was fun.
you have a couch in your office? sweeet!
