New things

It's always good to do new things. 

Today I did several things that I have never done before.

I called an ambulance.  In this case for one of my staff.

I went in an ambulance.  Thankfully as the accompanying person not the patient (if I never do that as a patient I'll be perfectly content).

I went to the emergency room for something that was a genuine emergency and went behind the curtain and was the accompanying person for a couple of hours until her husband could arrive from a business assignment in woop-woop.

I was introduced multiple times (and in a complimentary fashion) as someone's boss:  "This is my boss."  "This is my boss."

Now that I've done all of those things, I don't think I need to do any of them again, thanks.

As for the patient, she's now hopped up with pain killers and hopefully on the mend, which is good because in the office she went from "oh, you're not feeling well" to "good, you've made a doctors appointment for after work" to "I think you should go home now" to "I'm going to get in a cab and take you home now" to "I'm going to get in a cab and take you to the emergency room now" to "I'm calling an ambulance" in the space of less than half an hour.  The major lesson of which is "No one expects kidney stones".

I did take some photos of the full moon in the clear sky on the way home though.  I'll post them if they turned out okay.

Boredom is not really your thing is it?

Wow, you are a good boss! My father suffered quite regularly from kidney stones, agony they look like!
