 Once upon a time, there was a nurse who worked too much overtime. She said, "my community needs me!". One day, she dropped dead. And no one came to her funeral because she had no friends outside work, and all her work friends were working overtime that day.

The end. 
 That nurse should look into becoming an oyster.

Also, you need a vacation, stat. And a foot massage. And some tea... 
 Dang. Made two Spinsters cry.

It's OK, guys. I only worked 40 minutes of overtime today.

And, boss gave us pizza! I saw all the clerical and support staff sitting down in the boardroom with management, while I grabbed a couple of slices and took them back to the nurse's station. And no one told infection control I was eating at the desk!!

I feel positively giddy.
