    I crack myself up!

    This morning when I got to work one of my coworkers noticed that my scrub pants were inside out!

    Honestly, they were more comfortable with the seams on the outside,lol!

    Any other people ready to fess up to a funny faux pas?

    And no one in the office pointed it out to her.... all day...

    I've gone to work with my slippers on... I mean, they're really comfy and have fur inside and everything.

    And I've known one person who actually pulled a Wally (Dilbert reference) and wore jeans under their work pants to be more comfortable.
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    I will frequently answer the phone thanking them for calling a place I haven't worked at in years.
    Patient, ".. Doctor says I have a subscription for stigmata.. Can you fill that?"
    Me, "..Um.. "

    haha. Just Yesterday I had to use white out on a birthday card for a coworker because, out of habit, I put xoxo on it.

    I mumble that to a few patients as they walk away after I've helped them. It was a habit that I had from my last job.

    Had a tech at an office I used to work at that would always wear jeans under her scrubs. She felt exposed with just scrub pants on.
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!
