    This thread has become very disturbing.... and entertaining. I can't stop reading. Maybe I'm disturbed.

    I'm glad you're laughing...I learned to laugh after working with animals for so long. The gross stuff I'd just hilarious to me now. Well except for the exploding cadaver bags.
    I had to volunteer at shelter back in my teen years. One day came across the conveyor belt full of dead animals leading into the incinerator. Those images still haunt me. Nothing funny about that. Those of you that work with animals have my utmost respect.

    Have you ever watched the show Chopped? Okay, not dog balls, but balls of many other animals are in those baskets. Rocky Mountain Oysters, anyone? :sick:

    that reminds me of the Dirty Jobs episode where Mike was helping a farmer casterate baby lambs...or were they goats?

    Anywho...the farmer bit them off with his teeth, put them in a bucket, and then the wife breadded and fried them for dinner.

    There is a local bar whose specialty is Rocky Mountain Oysters and has been in business since 1959. All you can eat Friday, Saturday and Sundays. They serve beef and buffalo "oysters". They have a traveling food cart called The Nut Hut that works at local events, like fairs and festivals. I have yet to venture in. image

    My worst day at work was probably when I was in my early 20s, working as a nursing assistant on a neuro floor while I was in college. I was working evenings which meant we had less staff, usually two nurses and two assistants divided the hall. We had a gentleman who was a late afternoon admission, and the hospital was in an end of town where often times homeless were brought in. The man was placed in Bed 2, farthest from the door of the room. He had put his call light on and I went to see what he needed. The second my foot crossed the threshold of the door to the room, the man exploded with projectile vomiting that hit me about two inches below my shoulders and went all the way to my feet. Reek doesn't begin to describe the smell. I have never seen anything like it before or since. The nurses sent me to get cleaned up and get scrubs from the surgical center. Even after washing and changing clothes, I still smelled so bad they sent me home.

    If people really knew what nurses do all day long, there would be far fewer applications to nursing college.

    Yeah, following that I don't know if it was a sign of stupidity or dedication that I finished my nursing degree. image

    I whole heartedly agree!! You have to be a really special and really kind, sort of person to pull off nursing!! I could never do it!! Just being an
    EMT broke my heart, so did being a CNA. So thank you Ginny, and all the other nurses, that do this!

    A guy at work was recently talking about how his little sister didn't seem motivated enough in life (she's 11), and as an example as to why he thought so, he said she mentioned maybe wanting to become a nurse. :angry: I guess he figured she should want to become a doctor if sje was thinking about that field. I told him that nursing is a noble profession, worthy of a lot of respect. Not to mention a solid way to get the bills paid.

    Whenever I see the title of this thread, for a split second I think it says bday at work. I always tried to avoid working on my bday. I think I had to go one time, all other times I took the day off. There was cake, but other than that it wasn't a spectacularly great day at work.

    While it's a nice gesture that my company brings in lunch and cake each month for birthdays, there are few things I dislike more than having that damned birthday song sung to me. They used to let us take our birthdays off with pay but no longer. This year, using a vacation day!

    That is too bad, because the hours that they must give up away from their families will probably drive them into admin, where they can take out their frustration on other nurses, leading to lots of bad days at work.

    That makes sense...I was a little disappointed when I heard they only did it for the money. A bit narcissistic IMHO.
