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.

Mistaken Identity

While waiting for the elevator at work, I said hi to another employee. She looked at me oddly and also said hi. In a whisper she then asked, "Did you resolve that problem?"

I asked, "What problem?"

"With the aide."

I said, "Huh?"

"You know, the problem with the aide."

Again I said, "Huh?" (I can be so articulate sometimes.)

It turned out that she thought that I was the nurse who strangled the aide awhile back. Now, I admit that I have thought about strangling people. Heck, I've even been strongly tempted on occasion, but I have never actually strangled anyone. It wasn't me. Who else thinks I'm the strangling nurse?

Boy, it's always the ones you would suspect. You seemed so mild to me.

See? Now you've got a REPUTATION! **giggle** ;-)

Thanks, HP. This weekend I'm going to try your recipe with American ingredients. I wish that I had access to your ingredients instead. I think that dogs are almost always better than people.

R2ks, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for and I'm quiet and reserved by nature.

Karen, I never thought that I would be a woman with a reputation. I can't believe that someone hears about a strangling nurse and thinks, Oh, that must be Melissa.
