I do the same thing with Star Trek. Why don’t they use that transporter more often? I’d never walk anywhere!

As far as small talk with patients and others, I have always been a person to feel empathy for that nervous patient, and talk back. Probably why I’m a nurse, and not a doc(joke). But our administration would push all of us to go for FIVE STAR SERVICE. Which is bunk. Being rude is one thing, but just being quiet is another.

I don’t see why being a patient gives a person the right to expect conversation from every employee at a hospital. Would they expect that at the mall?

We are also expected to ask, “Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time!” After every interaction. Even if it’s not true. I can tell you how many times I’ve never heard that last sentence spoken!

Oh and I’ve come to the conclusion (long before now, this is the kind of nerdy crap I think about too) that the force field emitters weren’t accessible when they’re in the locked-down state. You’ll notice that they kind of pivot and tuck in to the wall. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Rick, you could write my own entry better than I could.

Jen, I actually went back and forth on the plural Jedi/Jedis thing while I was typing. I ended up using both forms in different places. For some reason, “Jedi” makes me think of “Jedediah” which makes me think of hillbillies. Which might explain Anakin’s hair braid and their ratty looking robes.

urm, the plural for jedi is just jedi, not “jedis”. sorry — i’m sure this entry is as deep as all your other ones but i just couldn’t get past the jedis thing. i’ll just go back to hiding behind my nerd cave now.
