Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That poor girl next to you, ita. Sounds awful.
Your story about the nurse reinforces something my sister told me, which is that in the hospitals everything depends on the nurses. The good ones are worth gold.

Overheard recently at my work here in the heart of Mormon Utah: "(longsuffering sigh) No, dude, a menorah is not just a fancy holiday candleholder."

There was an email that came over the campus parenting list-serv in North Carolina asking for mohel recommendations. A couple of hours later there was a very funny followup thanking everyone for the motel recommendations, but explaining what a mohel was.

Mornings BAD. Who the hell starts a conference at 8AM on a Sunday morning? Coffee is my my bestest friend right now.
I found the Mad Tea Party slot machines last night, but no sign of any of the "spooky" slots.

Thrive to spite them
I know someone who recently had a knee transplant. I had no idea they did those.
She was in a horrific car accident - she hit black ice and her car slid into the foundation of a house. The EMTs couldn't get her breathing when a doctor of some kind saw the ambulance and stopped and did something (can't remember now). If he hadn't been driving by she could have died. She had to have a bunch of surgeries and needed a knee replacement but she's too young for insurance to cover knee replacement so they did a transplant that cost more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This might only be of interest to Chicagoistas and/or fans of bank architecture, but there's an old bank building in Wicker Park (on the corner of Damen and Milwaukee) that closed down, and now it's the site of an upscale Walgreens. I think they did a good job of preserving the character of the building.
The bank vault was retained and now is a "Vitamin Vault": [link]

The Noel State Bank building, constructed in 1919, was designed by Gardner C. Coughlen in a neo-classical style. The original bank fell victim to a bank run during the Great Depression and has housed several different banks over the decades, the last being Midwest Bank, which closed several years ago.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband left for Houston this morning. Naturally, we were up until after midnight last night. I slept until 11, ate, and now I have 45 minutes until I need to get on a bus to make an hour-long trip to sing Messiah.
I want my weekend back.
