Interesting things

About 5pm this afternoon I was enlightened by a phone call that I'm dealing with a potential disease outbreak in my facility. An employee contacted the facility to say she has been diagnosed with this, confirmed by lab tests.

It is not SARS, hepatitis...or the usual outbreaks you read about. I'm not going to post what it is, til after the threat is past. And hopefully nothing will come of this.

This is something I've not encountered directly before, so I did some research online at work, and here tonight. I gave a rapid inservice to the staff in very generic terms to avoid panic and a massive "blue flu". Made a zillion phone calls to the corporate yahoos and tried to locate the Medical Director...his day off. Lucky me. Never did make contact.

I'm sure the hospital will contact the public health department so who knows if I will be dealing with them too.

Now it's just a waiting game.

I'm. Not. A. Patient. Person.

Geez...ever read or seen "The Stand"?

With this "Storm of the Century" raging outside and Capt. Tripps raging inside, sounds like you need to jump into "Christine", lest this disease turn you into a "Bag of Bones" and get out of the "Dead Zone" to some place safer. Be a bitch not to be able to communicate with you without "The Shining". Work is gonna be a "Misery" if ya wind up running a "Skeleton Crew"...especially if it lasts through several "Different Seasons".
You'd better make sure the "Night Shift" knows about "It", too.
Let us know how it goes. I, for one, will have "Insomnia" waiting to find out.


(Whew!)

Insomnia is the ticket, and it didn't help that I finished "Bachman's" Rage about midnight last night giving me Nightmares and Dreamscapes
. I hope I'm not going in to a Black House because I don't think I could handle the Desperation. Definitely the drive to work will be a ride on the Green Mile to the Wastelands. Now I'm off to read the newspapers to see if this Firestarter has hit the media.
I really don't feel like being a Gunslinger today, more like a Bag of Bones.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed it, but there is still that Dark Half.
