Read and Think and Do

Thanks for dropping in to view the Halo Staffing Blogroll. This is the first addition of the category Read and Think and Do. I will update this roll on a regular basis.  Hopefully more regular than Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue.  Which just happens to be a fabulous read.  You should check that out also.  Ok this category stems from a quote that I come across every once in a while.  It’s from Christopher  Morley - - “Read, every day, something no one else is reading.  Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.  Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.  It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.”  

Read:  I read about Nauru.  What do you think?  Not really much to good ole’ Nauru.  If your wondering how  I got to Nauru, I just thought of the world’s smallest countries.  However, keeping with Morley’s quote, I couldn’t really read about the Vatican City because I assume everyone would read about the world’s smallest county. So, I decided to read about the world’s third smallest country.        

Think:  I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream, like all at once I woke up from something that kept knocking at my brain.  Before I went insane, I held my pillow to my head and sprung up in my bed screaming out the words I dread…… IIIIIII thiiiiinnnnnkkkk I love you.  I don’t know what I’m up against, I don’t know what it’s all about, I got so much to think about…III tttthhhiiinnnkkk I love you. 

Ok, maybe this isn’t going so well.      

Do:  This was an easy one.  I had to submit a couple of profiles for my travel nurses.  These travel nurses were primo and the top candidates for my nursing jobs.  Since I work for a nursing agency I could have just scanned and email or faxed theses travel nurses (by the way they were interested in a position for thirteen weeks) to the facility contact.  But, I decided to do something silly…very silly.  I walked backwards.  Honestly I walked backwards.  The worst thing about it, is that my hamstrings are killing me.  Here is what I did.  I walked out of my office space, out of my office, out of the building where my staffing agency resides, across the parking lot, hit the button for the cross walk, waited backwards, walked across the street, down the street, into the ER, across the foyer, said high to ladies at the front desk, winged (not really but in my mind) to the girls in the gift shop, pressed the button for the elevators, stood backwards in the elevator (the Dr really didn’t know what to think about me), out of the elevator, down the hall, and into the staffing office of my hospital that accepts 13 week assignments for travel nurses that are looking for nursing jobs. Then I came back to my office and WOW!! my hammies are really really hurting.

Well that’s it.  That’s what I have to offer on this categories first post.  I would love for everyone to partake.  Keep me posted on what you Read and Think and Do.
