Good day? OH YES. Yesterday was good even if I barely managed to do anything after signing off last night. I ate and poked my homepage to see how it would react - yes, I have the entire page backed up onto my own PC - and skimmed the SchuKen evil fic (I cannot believe I've finished it. It feels good) but it didn't seem to want to do anything else. Which is no bad thing.

I love being random with music! ♥ When I got upstairs I sat round listening to Paul Simon and eating potato cakes. So just when I thought I couldn't possibly get caught out as any more random than I had been already, I hads to go and surprise myself...

HDU. Ay yes. *rereads strangely incoherent post and realizes though she may have explained the differences in attitude, she didn't actually explain why* HDU is like the fluffy version of ITU. The patients, by and large, are awake and alert, there are far fewer monitors, the observations take less time, there's marginally less number-crunching and everything is basically a lot more relaxed. All of this has the knock on effect that I, as a lowly pre-reg nursing student, am actually able to do some actual work instead of standing round watching other people do it.



I feel a bit happier though, thanks for asking! ♥ ♥ ♥

At least I'm getting a grip on things now, and that makes a real difference to the way I feel when I get out of work. Apparently, though, it takes new staff nurses 6-8 months to really get used to working in an ITU/HDU setting, so I'd guess they didn't expect us to be much more than well and truly culture-shocked at first. But I still want to work in theaters (that's OR, I guess). That really does appear to be my one true love and my love for it has eaten my soul. Must work in scary OR because it's just great. I know, I've never actually worked there, I've only visited, I could be wrong. But I really doubt I am. It feels like - yeah, this is it. Ambition! Help.

As to the fic: I'm going to be posting sometime this weekend all things going to plan, so just you stay in that mood for something twisted, okay? *looks hopeful* In terms of what some other people have come up woth it's pretty tame, but I'm convinced this is the most extreme thing that I personally have written, so... yeah. I hope I don't let you down...

And some things out there just should not attract fanfic.

I know, I'm a mad ficcer myself, but some of the things out there people write fic for... well, it worries me. Really. It makes sense to me in the context of book, movie or anime fandoms especially in fandoms where it's blatantly obvious the creators just haven't admitted that half the cast are gay there's a lot of subtext and unexplored angles leaving it to fan authors to fill in the blanks, but something like Calvin and Hobbes? No. It is what we see. End of.

The idea of Calvin and Hobbes fanfic is bad enough. Calvin and Hobbes Mary Sues scare the living bejeezus out of me--

--hang on, did you really say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SLASH?
