Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

New Work Shoes


Our dress code at work requires that we wear either white or black shoes. I bought some new work shoes today, they're lavender.

They are lovely in lavender and look very comfortable at that. Did anyone at work notice?

Thanks for visiting Chet and Cash Advance Guy. I'm happy to say that I have no need for either a premature ejaculation cure or a cash advance.

Michelle, Karen and Brandy, thank you for your comments. We're all rule breakers at work. I haven't worn them yet, but I think that they will fit in just fine with everyone else's shoe choices.

(Brandy, I enjoyed your email mini-blogs. I struggle with many of the same issues, especially having one foot in the real world and one foot in the internet world.)

Hi Melissa! Way to go! You are such a rebel! The great thing is because you are also an attorney no one will ever **** with you at work. Anyway those lavendar shoes are cheery and in good taste. I remember when I worked in the CCU we would recieve patients directly from cath lab, and this one nurse (I assume she was a nurse as she had an RN badge) came dressed to work like it was halloween and she was a hooker (maybe she stole the badge from a tricks car). She had on more makeup than Tammy Faye and more jewelry than Zsa Zsa Gabor. How do you sterilize jewelry when you get home at night? Did she have an autoclave next to her microwave? I can't believe she would cook with those same hands that were covered in unmentionable gook all day. She was an embarassment to those of us who chose to attempt to maintain a professional appearance...even when covered with gook!

What are you trying to say? You mean I should stop dressing like a hooker to work? I like rimming my eyes with an inch diameter of black eye liner, wearing 10 pounds of jewelry and wearing my top unsnapped to the naval. And, why would I care if there is pee, poop, pus or blood on my rings and bracelets? You professional nurses are so damn snooty. ;)

Part of the reason I got the lavender shoes is because of you. Since it's your favorite color, I think of you when I wear them.
