Nurses are terrifying |4:43 PM| I just got a call from a nurse, and she was having issues with a printer. If you disrupt a nurse's standard procedures she goes into what can only be called a "Tizzy". She starts coo-ing and stumbling around.
A butchered quote from "The Awakening"
"It was easy to know them, fluttering about with extended, protecting wings when any harm, real or imaginary, threatened their easy to understand world"
What's worse is more than one nurse, they get a group-mind effect, and they're even more idiotic. It's like a super power. During any problem, they simper and blurt out any thought that passes through their head. They had me on speaker phone, and so I hear
To the room at large:
Nurse1: "He wants us to switch the toner!"
Nurse2: "Toner? Uh.. Uh...I don't think we have one"
Nurse1: "Look! Look around here. Uh...oh..."
Nurse2: "Oh, I think I found one!"
Nurse1: "Oh!"
Nurse2: "Yes, here, under the desk!"
Nurse1: "Oh, is that a toner? I think it's an old toner!"
(At this point I imagined them both grabbing at the cartridge, and fumbling it around in each other's hands, like a religous artifact that they don't quite understand. Between both of them, they had the total deductive power of a payphone.)
To me, on the phone:
Nurse1: "It says R-I-C-H-O is that a toner?"
I couldn't fault them for not knowing what toner we used, but it was the terrible bumbling and clucking noises they were making as they desperately tried to find toner. God help anyone who gets sick in that building with something that isn't just a cut. If someone got the flu, they'd probably be given tetnus shots, and bandaged to near suffocation.
