Goth Girl

A new secretary was hired recently. She had a conventional appearance, but that has suddenly all changed. A couple of days ago she showed up in black scrubs, black lipstick, black nail polish and a newly pierced nose and lip. She doesn't have any direct patient contact, but she sits at the front desk and she is the first thing that patients and visitors see. People are leery enough of us, without her totally freaking them out with her Goth appearance.

Management spoke to her, so she has stopped the black scrubs and make up, but the face studs remain. She can't remove them until the holes heal or else the holes will close. That doesn't sound like a bad thing to me, but who am I to judge. Apparently she enjoys looking like there is a booger (sp?) on her nose and a chunk of food on her lip. I'm wondering if she thinks that she looks pretty like that or is she just trying to gross us out? Who knew that it's even possible to gross out nurses?
