Today in the course of my really bad day at work I get a phone call, "Hi is this person in charge of escorts?" I told them no and transferred the call to someone who can help and then burst out laughing. I wanted to say not that kind of escort.
Jello. The day before one of my very difficult patients was being discharged I am informed he wants to see me. I'm like dude he's going home tomorrow what does he need. Evidently the night before he was trying to provide Jello to his roommate. His roommate somehow didn't get it but the pt decided the roommate and tried to provide his jello and gave the staff a very hard time. I came out of the conversation cracking up OMG he needed to see me to discuss Jello? Really? I have nothing better to do with my time?
Suicide. I have a super difficult patient who dropped the S-word in the course of a conversation. I looked at her and asked is this really a suicide attempt or is this is a way to get attention. Oh wait she wants attention. And don't you know she was just kidding about the suicide and why don't I find it funny? I had to explain that as a social worker any conversation any discussion of the word suicide and I automatically have to react. But Ilana I'm just kidding. Right.
Crack... So my coworkers crack me up periodically. They were joking around that one of the stuffed animals in the office was on crack. 2 seconds later a cop knocks on the door he is a parole officer and wants to discuss one of the patients.
Yarn. I'm in process of making multiple things with yarn including a baby blanket. That's ultimately going to look like pizza. Two of my good friends just had a baby and they nicknamed the baby while in utero pizza. So I went to the yarn store yesterday to pick up some more yarn to complete the blanket. I got there and had to explain that I needed more soft yarn to make a pizza blanket. I got some very funny looks. Only me.
