to all of you working stiffs

And for that matter, all of you grad students too.

Think your job is rough? Boss getting on your nerves? Or maybe all the grad/law school work is getting to you? Well, the next time you're feeling frustrated with work, ask yourself this:

Did anyone throw up at your workplace today? Did they just up and expell partially-digested sloppy joes* all over the floor, right in the middle of your lesson on eighth notes? WELL? DID THEY?

That's what I thought.

*I know that is gross. Sorry.

  1. Yes, as a matter of fact. Not today, but two weeks ago. Four-year-old kid with developmental delay completely messed himself on the playground (AND he was wearing a diaper) and then threw up back in his room in the middle of his physical.

    Yes, Rita. Yes.

    On the plus(?) side, he got three very young, very hot nurses to clean him up and give him a bath. I'm still debating whether it's worth it.
