:-)

I'm an ER nurse, among other things.  I've done it for 22 years.  Nursing and I have a love-hate relationship.  I can't quit it.  I guess I love it more than I hate it.  Maybe it's like the mafia.  Whatever the reason, I just keep going back when I quit.

Right now, I work prn which is on an as-needed basis.  Fortunately for me, they need me pretty regularly and it helps supplement my small, not very financially successful massage business.  I can't seem to quit either one of these endeavors no matter how hard I try.  This is one of the reasons why:

Today I get a "chief complaint form" through the slot in the triage door saying "I fell into a patch of bamboo".  I open the triage door and call the name on the sheet and here comes a guy with a perfectly round, quarter-sized, red circle right in the middle of his forehead. 

How do you quit something like this?
