Goodbye ..

I have been waiting for this day, the day
that I would get to leave this floor permanently.
I am usually one to deal well with change.

But walking off 7 North tonight was rough.
There's just something about when you get
what you want .. sometimes it just feels all wrong.

Despite all of the verbal abuse, and cranky employees
who are stuck in their ways, I had formed
relationships with these people, more good than bad.
It had started to feel like home.

After 9 months of being treated like the "FNG",
I became molded into a pretty darn good HUC ..
I have faith that I made the right decision to
transfer to PICU. New relationships, new challenges..
It's where I have always wanted to end up. And
honestly, I don't think I could have done it without
the help of all the good and all the bad ..

I hope I don't let these people in PICU down and
hope I can continue to be the cheerful, thick skinned,
efficient HUC that I have learned to be on 7.

Goodbye 7 North.
I will truly miss you ..

Relationship Status

Some co workers and I were talking today about my “new guy”, whom I have been seeing for about a month. There has been no mention of relationship status and he hasn’t met any of my friends, let alone family, although I have met a few of his friends. But this weekend is a big weekend, it’s my birthday weekend. My best friend is throwing a HUGE bash in which my “new guy” is going to attend.

The valid point my co workers brought up was, what am I going to introduce him as when he meets my friends?

Questions running through my head:

• When is it ok to consider someone your boyfriend?
• And does it even need to be stated once you reach a certain age?
• How are you supposed to introduce this person to your friends if you don’t know the relationship “Status”?
• Do you just introduce them with their name, or is it necessary to dub a title as well?
• How long can you date someone before defining the relationship?
• Is it really necessary to have the awkward boyfriend/girlfriend conversation?
