365 Blog Challenge: Post #58
Tonight is my first night back at work in 12 nights, and the pre-work jitters have started again so I will make this post short and sweet.
Today, Steve Jobs announced the new iPad 2 which will come out March 11th. People have said, the iPad just came out 9 months ago, why put the next version out already? I say, why not? Why make us wait! Another reason I love Apple. I do own an iPad, and the only thing that makes me jealous of the new one (new features listed in the article here) is the camera. The original iPad does not have a camera, thus I cannot skype on the go with my family which would be awesome. I'd love to be out having some coffee and playing on my iPad and have the ability to talk to little Tyler Chase or Zoe or my sister. But alas, I am quite happy with my current iPad and won't be getting a new one anytime soon. In fact, my next big technological purchase will be a new laptop. My current one is apx 3 years old which is apparently old in computer world. Still runs well though which is good because I will need time to save.
Off to work to earn those dollars. Enjoy your free night...

#30 Proof that Lauren needs a vacation...
365 Blog Challenge: Post #30
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, please allow me to exhibit some evidence that Lauren, your blog writer, needs a vacation from work, or at least to get off the night shift. As a reminder, I bring this topic up after a particularly difficult couple of weeks include three sad patient deaths and way more snow than NYC is equipped to sanely handle.
Exhibit A: Caterpillar Eyebrows- Due to recent stress, exhaustion and lack of waking hours during the day, Lauren has neglected to have her eyebrows waxed and they are way past due. They are so past due that she gets self-conscious while standing too close to her coworkers for fear they will see the stray hairs and judge her.
Exhibit B: Dark under eye circles- Despite having been off for 2 days straight, Lauren still has dark circles under her eyes and really would like to get into a regular circadian rhythm so she doesn't look like a drug addict.
Exhibit C: Pepperoni Chin- These zits which Lauren continues to get at the ripe old age of 27 exhibit the stress Lauren has been under lately. Either someone needs to create a fool-proof zit zapping cream (with immediate results) or Lauren needs a vacation.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Lauren's representation, I just ask that you make your decision today with your conscience, and give this girl the vacation she needs.
* Thank you for putting up with my exhausted wackiness today. Only 3 more weeks until I get a few days off to visit Minne! Dani oughta brighten me up!

Mr. Big is nice....
WOW! So they are filming Law and Order Criminal Intent at the VA today which is not novel because they did it once last winter too. HOWEVER, my friend Julia works on the 4th floor where they're filming and she invited me up to see the "Pediatric Ward" which doesnt exist in the VA but they've put up decorations to make it look like it does for the show. So I get Amelia to come with me and we hear from a production assistant that Chris Noth is on set today and the actors are coming up in 5-10 minutes!!! So obviou
sly we have to text Amy to get her up for the action.We waited a good 15-20 minutes total and it paid off! We got to see the VERY attractive Chris Noth in person and he even talked to us (as they were taking his picture with camera phones). He was very friendly and we are all STAR STRUCK!!! By the way, for those of you crazies who don't know who Chris Noth is, think "Mr. Big" from Sex and the City. Hot.

Another account of the poop river...by Hannah
This comment was posted by Amelia and my coworker, Hannah (also from Minnesota. WOOT WOOT!). I thought many people would be entertained by another perspective on the disturbing poop river event, so enjoy Hannah's take on the incident.
Hannah's account:
"I too was shocked when I saw what was transcibing at my feet. I yelled at the janitors, as they seemed to be skirting the problem, to keep coming our way. I suppose they were a bit beyond what to do at the moment with a mere floor buffer at their command. Awaiting backup and panic mounting, two gentlemen in the office across from mine attempted to exit the office. The first one teetered, and slipped but didn't fall. Phew!! Too much stress!! I was yelling at them to stop trying to get out! I tried to keep my door closed and continue working. But the odor was just too acrid. I kept opening the door to see any progress. Finally one of the doctors came out and had to see patients, as did I; we had to get out!! Around the corner finally walks a man very slowly pushing a wheel chair. We were saved! I gathered all my belongings that I would need for the rest of the day and was pushed through that poop river. Thanks to that nice man with the wheelchair."
