Would You Like a Moment?

Dani is from England and she is working here as a registry nurse. I first met her while I was on staff at another area hospital. I've known her for years. She's very knowledgable and funny, and she has her nursing chops down.

"So Dani, we were driving home from shopping the other day when we pulled up behind an SUV that had this weird license plate. It just had "96" on it. Some lady was driving it, " I said to her.

Sometimes I'll have these little "drive-by" conversations as I'm passing through the nursing station, the medication room, or wherever. My hands will be busy doing something- pulling a chart and transcribing orders, pulling meds, putting out a page to a doctor, but that leaves the mouth free for a moment of talk with coworkers.

"Just the two numbers?" Dani asked, and I confirmed.

"Maybe it's an Irish sexual position," she said, and I laughed out loud. I set them up, and she brings them home.
