Nice pics!  Makes me really look forward to Vegas!
Today I came in and someone was in my chair.  They said I was sitting elsewhere for today.  I was pretty upset about the way they did it.  I asked who made the decision and was told it was the head nurse.  I went to her and told her that we are not cattle and I am a patient, not a stock number.  They said that there was an issue with the machines which upset me even more as the machines are on wheels and they move them around all the time.  I sat down in the chair that they moved me to and found that the TV did not work.  I took off my BP cuff and walked across the room to another chair and checked the TV and it worked.  I then moved all my stuff and sat down in the other chair and advised them that my set up needed to be moved.  They did.  I am NOT second shift chair 1. I am Marc.

Geez, sounds like they were lazy on Monday. I never had to move to a diifferent chair if there was a machine problem, they just moved a machine and told me beforehand.. It would have been proper to tell you also before you went back to your spot also.

I had issues like this where they would have the machine on the wrong side for my line and be too lazy to move it so I too
refused to sit down UNTIL they did. WE ARE NOT CATTLE.
