Daydreaming in the CCU

A light day in the Critical Care Unit can leave some dull stretches of time. Everything in here can change in an instant, and suddenly, you may need to be in several places at the same time when over the past hour you may have been looking through 6 month old journals trying to fill the time.

Time goes by quickly when you are busy. How is this related to the Space-Time continuum? Can you actually go back in time if you are really lazy? If you put a group of lazy people on a train and an equal group of busy, time-pressed workaholics on a train moving at the same speed, which would arrive first? (This is a trick question due to the lazy engineer and train staff which would not take off or arrive on time.)

Well enough of this...my pager has gone off and I need to get back in the game. Nate will likely wish time would move quickly while making his transatlantic passage tomorrow from Paris to Tupelo International. If only the flight would take less than the charge duration of an Ipod. We're thankful for the fine tour operator who has personally planned and executed this great trip (Anna). The heavily travelled skateboard will touch down tomorrow here after ripping it up in Barcellona and Marseille and perhaps in Paris as well. Hope the camera makes it back with proof.

Another page from the beeper. What do they think? Can I just stop typing and answer the phone. There are priorities! Code blue! Yikes! Oh, I'm awake again from my daydream and my pager has not gone off at all. It is raining outside. Now I know that I am actually asleep and dreaming to type during a daydream.
