HC Mems

...because it will make me feel better to share them, here are some 2007 Health Center "remember that one time when"'s:

1. HO and I did our one fire drill of the year with ghetto mini airhorns that died after 15 minutes in the golf cart with no breaks? And HO blew said airhorn in the window of Oneida RIGHT above a kid's bunk during rest period? And then the kid proceeded to kick out the screen onto HO's head? And then we peeled out into Teen X village like frickin' Bonnie and Clyde screaming "FIRE!" while people just stopped and stared?

2. EVERYONE got the runs after BLTs?

3. We used to get fast food every meal of the day, because we were Health Officers and we could?

4. HO and I used bandanas as makeshift surgical masks and shook out a kidney kid's poop laundry in the middle of the front yard with kids walking by?

I miss the HC so much it hurts. I wish I could deconstruct it, put it up here in front of my cabin and just get away for awhile with my Dr. Pepper, magazine and wifebeater.

Somebody save me,

I understand your pain. There's just something about being a HO that's amazing. More amazing is being the HO to those around you. If you know who Ricky is, he and I had some killer, wet-your-pants type moments as well.

One day something else will become your new "Health Center", don't worry.
