Drill
Sitting around at work today. No, not usually there on Sunday, but I volunteered for a Disaster Drill, needing the extra income of a half day, after several weeks of low census. I'm sitting between two other nurses, as we waited for further instructions, we poked around online.
The Drill was very low key for us, but apparently there was a full scale simulation going on. To put the best possible face on it, much was learned and no one died. And I got nearly five hours pay to make phone calls. Good thing I had the new flashlight in the car, because the lights in the locker room/restroom would not come on. Didn't need to change clothes, but I did need the instruction sheets and call list. Their idea of "lunch" at the debriefing was El Cheapo's Extremely Greasy Pizza. None of us tried it. But it was popular among the bloodied actors (presumably from a high school or college theater group.)
All in all, a pleasant morning considering I was being paid.
D and I took a good long walk once I got home.

I have to admit. I buy a Cheapo's Greasy Pizza on violin lesson paydays. They're awful and I can usually only hack down a couple of pieces especially if I scrape the cheese stuff off the crust but for $5 for a large cheese pizza it's the cheapest dinner in town.
RK,
As a hungry student, I had no qualms about *any* pizza. But over the last decade or so, I can tolerate only really good versions, and those rarely.

Always excellent to be paid while having a bit of fun!
Doesn't sound like too bad a day for working on a weekend.
I'm still okay with the greasy pizza, though I do not eat it often.
Good to get some work that wasn't too taxing.
I agree about pizza. Maybe our tastebuds change as we age? I still make pizza, but with very little cheese.
*awooga* *awooga*
We have a list of demands from the alien mothership. They'll hold back from destroying the Earth as long as these three nurses are left undisturbed. All hands to inaction stations!
Pacian,
Whew!

wv: foromano (a cheese-free pizza?)
You all look as if you are having a nice, low key time.
I like cheesy pizza. It just doesn't seem to like old women much.
