No, I'm not going there as a patient
I'm being transferred there as an employee
Yep, that's right I'm moving 'cross town.......or at least across the hospital to the ER.
This is what I wanted, so I'm happy.......but it sure takes awhile for stuff to happen around here.......it may take weeks......but I hope not more than that. They've cut back my hours at my PBX job to 2 days a week, so I can be ready to start in ER once they hire someone to take over my job......but in the meantime my income just got cut in half........yeah (she says weakly).
But, I'm still excited about the change and so in the spirt of my lateral employment move I'm sharing what is I'm sure to be the first of many Top Ten lists regarding ER humor.
