Or not.
I come home to the oddest messages, sometimes.

November 1, 2007 | Filed under: Special Guest Star, NaVloPloMo 2007, amigos, oddball, Holiday! Celebrate!
I’d like to start NaVloPoMo off with a bang. For those who don’t know, NaVloPoMo is the video 1st cousin to the NaBloPoMo which itself is the half-brother of NaNoWriMo. Every day for a month? Pretty much the only thing I’m sure to do every day is brush my teeth (twice), but I want to give it a whirl! Today’s little video contains not only titles (gasp!) but also editing (whoa, Sister!) AND a special guest appearance! It’s like sweeps week, or something!
Not all NaVloPoMo-a-GoGo will receive such royal treatment. In fact, NaVloPoMo may have some gaps along the way and end up more like NoMoVloPoSo (No More Vlog Posts, Sorry). But dammit, I want to try.

Click here for Quicktime Wackiness
Click the picture or here for flash
A funny thing happened this past weekend: we didn’t have any patients admitted on our tour. Quite literally the calm before the storm. No babies born. No one in labor. Just empty rooms. This doesn’t happen all that often, so when it does, we react the way any other normal adult professionals would if they were in our place. We hold raucous sing-alongs, careen down the hallways on anything with wheels and eat like crazy. Then there’s more singing, of course, some dancing and then some more hall-surfing. Wackiness ensues.
I gripe about my job a lot. I’ve said many times that “I love the work, but I hate the job” and that still holds true to an extent. The work is fascinating and–on a good day–rewarding as all heck, but the politics of nursing can really, really really get me down. Two things make it bearable: those glimmers of good days where I feel like I’m truly helping my patients, and the strong, funny and goofy women I work with. There’s a handful of them in this video, but there are many more. Sure, we have our bad apples like anyplace else, but most of them are sweet and funny and intelligent and kind and caring…and some sing a mean baritone, to boot.

Slowly coming down from my post-Vloggies high…recovering from my post-Vloggies hangover.
I was so busy having fun that this is actually the only video I captured for the evening. BIG kudos to Irina for pulling it all together and congrats to all the winners!

Really, this is self-explanatory…no supporting text necessary other than to say that my duet with the lovely and talented Anne Walk** cannot be seen here. How was I supposed to read the lyrics off the prompter, sing and and film myself at the same time? Oh, that footage is out there someplace…
(actually, we were pretty darn good!!)
Fine, fine performances all around!
**Sonny to my Cher? Cher to my Sonny? We may never know…
