Can I borrow your grandmother?
Okay, what made my day: Three things. One, I was on the way to work and stopped at the post office. Started to buy something from the vendor as I was running late, and he gave it to me -- free. Because it's Veteran's Day. That's not what made my day, however. He was an ex-Marine and he actually THANKED me for being an ex-Army Medic. That only happens once in a lifetime (Marines and Army have a rivalry that goes WAAY back).
I got to work, knowing that my boss was on the warpath, and feeling bummed about having to work on Veteran's Day when I'm a Vet. Then, someone told me my boss took the day off. I thought, "Of all the nerve..." since she isn't a Vet, but then they reminded me that she would be gone all day. Yay!! Veteran's Day started looking up after all.
Then, I got one of those reports that reminds me that one of the reasons I still I do my job (besides the paycheck), is just because of some of the amazingly weird things people do to themselves. (In this case it was a patient who decided the fastest way to 'get religion' was to swallow a cross. Ouch).
