Annoying
right now I am waiting for my car to be repaired, thus why I have been "blog" happy with posts...
this guy is standing watching the progress of his vehicle and jingling the change in his pocket...I think this is one of the most annoying/distracting habits on earth
now he is ratteling a mint wrapper as he struggles to open it, again another annoying thing to me, people that struggle to open a mint wrapper to try to be "quiet" while it actually takes longer thus rattles longer...

Tales of Surivial Inside 'Miracle' US Airways Jet
This event just amazed me, I think it is because it reminds me that God is truly in the details...

Passengers: First Engine on Fire, Then Frigid Water

A giant crane and a barge were brought in today to begin hauling a partially submerged jetliner out of the Hudson River, one day after it was apparently knocked out of the sky by birds and spectacularly splashed down alongside Manhattan's skyscrapers.
Many survivors were exposed to the frigid water of the Hudson River.
More PhotosThe US Airways Airbus A320 has been lashed to a Manhattan pier since all 155 passengers were safely evacuated by a flotilla of ferries, tug boats, and emergency craft. A giant crane and a barge began working today to drag it ashore.
While the passengers were stunned, bruised and shivering from their icy ordeal, they were largely unhurt and are hailing the plane's pilot Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III as a hero.
Tales of fear and survival inside the plane began to emerge today.
Irina Levshina told "Good Morning America" that she was sitting in the last row of the plane.
"I feel quite shaken still," Levshina said.

"Nurses eat their young"
I am currently going thru interpersonal relations difficutlies at work. I cannot remember ever struggling as much with coworkers as I do in the health profession.
I am learning that a lot of nurses do not take care of themselves thus making them more irritable. In addition a lot of nurses are burnt out from the demanding job.
I found the following interesteing...

"Nurses eat their young" is a frequent subject of discussions in nursing chat rooms, and is one of the top discussion threads on allNurses.com. For those unfamiliar with the phrase, it refers to the idea that older or more experienced nurses are unhelpful, unsupportive, critical, and even mean, predatory, and generally destructive in their interactions with new graduate nurses and nursing students.
“But even if it's not a problem unique to nurses, it's a problem that does exist. And to help solve the problem, the recommendations from nurses range from extreme ideas (e.g., warn once, then fire nurses who can't be kind to coworkers) to excellent ones that may not work due to liability issues (e.g., have recently retired nurses "who still have their grey matter functioning reasonably well" act as preceptors, to take pressure off the other nurses). Here is a summary of the suggestions from various discussion boards:
• Nurses: Support and respect each other, and model and promote supportive and respectful behavior. Think of the Golden Rule, and model the behavior you would like to have experienced, rather than the behavior that you have experienced.
• If you see someone being bullied, speak up. (This is especially true for experienced staff members.)
• Speak up to debunk the negative stereotype, and advertise positive experiences.
• Stop making generalizations about "eating the young."
• Don't expect that "being eaten" is a given.
• Experienced nurses: Don't think that new nurses know nothing, and don't think you know everything.
• New nurses: Don't think that you know everything, don't think that all older nurses are out-of-date, and don't let people make you believe that you know nothing.
