The Scutmonkey: February 2009
http://thescutmonkey.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 08, 2009. Icarus be damned or "Back in the saddle again.". I started on the floor last week, and much to my relief, feel much more confident and happy as a cardiac nurse than a trauma nurse. In fact, despite having worked with very sick patients with complex care needs (Swanned, a dozen drips, intubated on nitric) I feel I was able to teach (if not to the patient, to the family) more in the last week than I did all year long as a fake trauma nurse. What can I say? So far, I'm slogging th...

The Scutmonkey: Red Scarf Project
http://thescutmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/11/red-scarf-project.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I'm not gonna mince words, here. For a lot of us this year (myself included) has more or less sucked balls. People lost jobs, loved ones. Shit happened. A lot of shit. And just when you thought you couldn't take one more ounce of crap- it poured buckets from the sky. And yet, I had family and friends to bolster me, and vice versa. What it would be like not to have that scaffolding of love and acceptance, I do not want to know. I'm hoping, whether or not you donate your time and...

The Scutmonkey: beginning, middle, end.
http://thescutmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/09/beginning-middle-end.html
Sunday, September 06, 2009. Beginning, middle, end. Beginnings are easy. Endings are, in some ways, even easier. But the middle? It's the hardest part. Middles are murky, untidy, full of bluffs and blind alleys. Nobody can say, in the middle of something, what or when the End will be- it just is. The End might sideline you, it might knock the wind out of you, or it might be a gentle passing into nothing- but it's certain. But the Middle of Something? I am good at beginnings- those require only a bit of a...

The Scutmonkey: November 2008
http://thescutmonkey.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. Folsom prison blues (lego style). Labels: Folsom Prison Blues. As the daylight hours compress upon themselves and the weather gets steadily chillier, I find myself wondering why I can't just hibernate, or become a spore, dormant until the spring time. To wit, I watched Mike Judge's Office Space. It's not that I want to do nothing, exactly, it's just that I resent being forced to do something. My fantasy is to quit my job and work in a knitting store. To continue with Why I'd Ra...
