You get what you give

I was talking with a teacher at the end of the day about a bizarre rash on one of her students. As she was walking out the door she turned back as if she forgot something and said, "I'm so glad you're our nurse. You rock." All I could stutter was thanks, and out she went. This isn't the first time this teacher has given me such a compliment, and it's the reason I go the extra mile for her. It's also a very pleasant way to end your week. (Yes, I have a four day weekend for Memorial Day. No, I don't know why it's so long, but it's probably part of the reason our summer is so short. No, I'm not complaining, I'm just tired of people asking why I have such a short summer - if you consider six weeks off not enough.)
