Tomorrow is Hippie Day at work

Non-Phish General

So, I work at a hospital and in order to promote handwashing, they came up with this “Peace, Love, and Cleanliness” day. Each department had to come up with their own protest sign and tomorrow, we are to dress up as hippies for a fake protest to “Rage war against germs”, lol. Can you believe that shit? Of course, being the resident tree hugger, I became protest sign maker, elected protest sign carrier in said fake protest, and for the first time in my life, fashion consultant. For the sign, I went with the Beatles “Give Peace a Chance” and made it into, “All we are saying…Give Soap a Chance” The poster is covered in tye-dye fabric and displays a pic of “Kiss My Face” brand soap label (cause it has a hemp leaf and peace sign on it)…the Peaceful Patchouli scent that I love so. I made sure to get a few yellow submarines attatched to the bottom of the sign in case someone was dense enough not to get what the sign was playing of of. I’ll get a pic of it tomorrow and post it here for shits and giggles.

The ONLY reason I’m down with this ridiculous shit is because I get to wear my own clothes to work tomorrow :slight_smile: Every chick in my department keeps asking me how they should dress. I’m like, I dunno, wear something comfortable, that’s how I pick what I’m wearing. Comfortable and least dirty. I don’t really “pick out” my clothes. It just kinda happens. Hey, that shirt is clean, hey that skirt is clean, they don’t match, but fuck it. I’m good to go! I can’t go all out with the apron top for modesty reasons, but don’t think I’m not raging the patchwork skirt and the Chaco’s!!

It’ll be interesting to see how typically hippie everybody dresses. You know, taking a pair of jeans and drawing a peace sign on them, wearing a bandana Willie Nelson style or putting flowers in their hair.

We have a lot of old people that come in, so I think I’ll wear my “70 isn’t old if you’re a tree” shirt, hehehe. I’m so terrible. Retract the horns, devil-Ollie.

Washing hands will also protect you from c-diff… I’m into washing my hands after handing poop… gross stuff it is.

The hippie day sounds like fun but when my work (I work in a nursing home) gets into role playing stuff I immediately run the other way.

I work in Registration right now, so I don’t have to handle Teh Poop. I’ll probably start working as a care tech while I’m in Radiology school for the next 5 semesters, so I’m sure I’ll get plenty of experience handling Teh Poop soon enough.

I’m sure tomorrow will be the dorkiest day ever, but at least I get to be comfortable for a day. I don’t know what I’m complaining about since I wear scrubs to work! Scrubs are just a step up from pajamas. God bless the healthcare field!

ladyphuckerphish, you make me laugh!! have fun tomorrow.
amen on the blessing—i like wearing my scrubs to work too, even though it’s just in the hospital kitchen now!

#6

yikes, misspelled your new name! sorry for that and the double post!

#7

Glad I could entertain you. Don’t forget to tip your bartender, though…I take cash and pre-hiatus shows

#8

the scrubs are like pjs… or ninja outfits… its hard to find male scrubs so the crotch never fits.

#9

I like scrubs I guess…

#10

Hmmm. Hippies in hippie clothes at a hospital. I think I’ll take my chances in the alley with a drunken illegal immigrant.

BTW - a few weeks ago I had to go to teh_ER for what was like the 6th time in 7 years.

^ Did you wait for 9 hours before being admitted?

#12

how do you hide money from a hippie?

bwahahahahahahah

#13

:sunglasses:

It wasn’t bad. The President of the hospital was the leader of the whole thing. He’s probably early 50’s and a real fun guy. I mean, he really looked like somebody I coulda run into at Phil and Friends the other weekend. He seemed to know the lingo as well, so it makes me wonder…those birkenstocks looked pretty worn out :wink: We literally walked all over the hospital. I guess I thought we’d march in a circle a few times or something, but oh no. We went to all 4 floors, every department and in one door of the nursing stations and out the other. And there were close to 50 people. We looked more like a mardi gras parade than a protest march, but at least it got me outta work for an hour. Some people really spent alot of time on their posters. We didn’t place, but there were like 30 posters being judged.

It was nice being in my own clothes and blasting the Beatles all day while I was registering patients. Most people ignored the fact that we were dressed up. A couple of people asked if it was hippie day and then started talking about how all they did was smoke weed, blah blah blah. I’ll try to get some pics up in a bit. I’ll have to get a photobucket account for that, I guess…

I forgot I set up a Song Image Station account back after Coventry. Okay, I just learned how to post photos 2 days ago, so I bear with me. I aplogize if these come out huge!

This is my supervisor, Lethia. She’s such a fun boss

This is how I roll at OPC (outpatient registration center)

The litte sign that couldn’t

Me and some of my Registration girls. That’s my girl, Kimyatta "representing for Black Power " :wink:

One more group shot

And just for fun, my home away from home…for a few more weeks, anyway :frowning:

Who was looking after the sick people during the parade?

— And when I went to teh_ER, it only took about an hour but there were only two people ahead of me. I was smart and got a hoagie from WaWa before I admitted myself.
