a shift with Sue and Amanda

Last Friday i had the delight of working with Sue at the hospital. She is one of my most favourite people to work with for a heap of reasons.

1. she is a great nurse
2. very supportive
3. works hard and pitches in
4. she is a nice calming person to be around
5. she is a friend
6. SHE IS A SCRAPPER.

We do have very funny converstations and it isn't unusual for our shift to run something like this :

A: Sue can you come and help me turn Mrs X?
S : yep sure

(as we are doing it)

A: ooooooh i was in Leonies the other day and saw she had some new *insert exciting product*

(conversation that follows for the next 10 minutes is on new and exiting products)


S: Mr W needs some panadol Amanda.
A: Ok sure - am onto it..............oh hey did you see on the scraptac site they are having a massive sale?

(conversation follows on online sales and recent www purchases)

At coffee break
S: oooh i finished off my Rachael album!
A: omg did you? Where is it? Did you bring it in?
S: nope forgot to. (then promises to bring it next time)

A: well i bought some stuff to show off........(pulls out big bag overflowing with scrap stuff)
S: *eyes bulging* oh wowsers.

(next 20 minutes discussing bits and bobs in bag. Then analysing Sue's latest magazine she brought to flick through)

later on -

A: Can you do a set of obs on Mr P for me please?
S: yep sure.

A: *eyes glazed over* oh look at this graph paper (that we write obs on) ................ i can feel a page coming on



honestly i really love working with Sue. We have some fun times and i am certain that all the other nurses think we are totally nuts. Luv ya Sue *mwah*

LOL! The poor patients are probably the ones with their eyes glazing over!As with my poor friend who walked in my door the other day with this beautiful blouse on.....
Sandra... "ooooh that's pattern is beautiful that would be fantastic for a layout... I wonder if I can scan it???"
Friend.. (eyes starting to glaze over).. "can I take it off first?"
Poor thing is not a scrapper and is wondering what the fuss is all about.. but I am working on her!

It's great working with someone who you get on well with and when you have something in common, time goes faster and you enjoy work that little bit more.
Great post. :)

Have rotten flue at the moment maybe I'll have to find out which shift the two of you are on next. Talking scrapbooking really gives me happiness in life as do the people that share this addiction.
So feeling crap I think I'll go and scrap, everything else will be there tommorrow. Love this inspiring blog, keep it up as now I'm addicted to this aswell.
Love the story.
Cheers Cassandra.
