1. Brand new Sharpies. Pointy tip. Dark ink. Perfect. I always have one in my pocket, that is, until I misplace it/lend it/leave it in a room and it is lost forever. Thankfully, we always have a nice stash and my pocket doesn't stay Sharpie-less for long.
2. Children who don't run away, throw humongous fits or spray bloody-snot boogies at me. I love those kind of children.
3. Knowing what the heck I'm talking about (in regards to medical stuff, obvs). Lots of time I don't, but sometimes I do and it rocks.
4. Working with cool chicks (and one cool dude).
5. Scrubs. They're just one step away from PJs and I like that.
6. Coffee. I'm a nurse, I work long hours, it's totally cool to be drinking coffee any time of the day.
7. 3 days a week. That's it. My requirements are fulfilled. I can (not that I do) have between 5 and 7 days off in a row without taking vacation time.
8. Overtime. I can pick up extra shifts and get lots of bang for my buck - literally. The only downside is that OT is feast-or-famine. Right now it's a feast and my bank account (and office full of new furniture) is thanking me.
9. Treats. May God bless the wonderful people who leave candy/cookies/cakes for us. My gut isn't necessarily thrilled about this, but my sweet tooth is happy as a clam.
10. Saying big words in normal conversation (and knowing what they mean) (I could just say "hole" but "ostomy" is cooler; and common, why say "heart stuff" when you could say "angina"!)
