Here's to you!

In recent times, Amandah has struggled working at the hospital in
housekeeping mainly because it's housekeeping and because of the persona that goes with it.
She would like to kid herself that people don't treat housekeepers any differently but such is not the case.
Doctors, nurses, even the occasional security guard looking down their noses.
Shame on hospital workers who think themselves above the help. 
At first it was a way to get her foot in the door, but now she is down with the sickness...
 the housekeeping sickness.
She will miss these people.


She has been applying to new positions through out the hospital since July but no di.
UNTIL two weeks ago.
Suddenly she had an interview with the lovely people
at the AF hospital in Pediatrics,
 blew them out of the water
(or so she would like to think),
and won herself the position of PCT
(Patient Care Tech/Patient Care Assistant/Certified Nurse Assistant)
That's right!
Now, instead of cleaning poop off of toilets and floors,
 she will be cleaning poop off of kids.
Oh the excitement!


But Amandah will dearly miss the relations she made in the hospital.
Here's to:
 the mean nurses and crazy orderlies in the O.R., the nerdy anesthesia tech's, the quiet lab people, the bald EKG guy, the fat ladies in blood bank, the chow hounds in staffing, the bald guy who wears a hair net in the cafe who always thinks he knows what i want, the phlebotomist guy who won't make eye contact in the hall, the elevator eyes CP guy, Vern,  the ER lady with fake hair, the radiology lady with no neck, little ol Barbara and her oils, the stinky floor crew, The Sergios, Geoff the laundry guy, Sheri the woman who always talks about HBO, and of course her confidants, Melly Moo, and Erin.
And all those other smelly weirdo housekeepers.
She fit in pretty well with the weirdos
and will truly miss them.

Hopefully she's onto bigger and better things, where more adventures await!
