As every company seems to downsize, layoff... etc, my work in a surgical center the hours are not always as promised.  You cannot know how many surgeries the MDs are gonna do in a given day.  Sure there are averages, but now that it's spring... things are slowing down and regularly scheduled nurses are being cancelled. I plan to work in the emergency department tomorrow, not for 'extra' hours; but to make up for what I'm not getting in my 'regular' job.  Now more than ever THIS op

I've just returned from a brief time away from home and the work/family routine.  While away I met and spent most of my time with a couple I had not known previously.  I was introduced to them via my college aged son who is friends with their daughter.  We were all away together for a college sporting event and much of my time was spent with this couple.   Trying to be brief, I want you to know that I enjoyed their company tremendously and would love to travel with them again
