I'm Baaaack!

Okay. I admit it--I've been a naughty, naughty blog-keeper! I was doing so well, too, and then I just stopped writing! I honestly don't know how some people do it, keeping a blog every, single day! Perhaps I'm simply not motivated enough? *shrugs* Well, we'll give it another go. Who wants to offer me a prize if I post everyday for a month? Hmm? Anybody? Anybody?!

No takers?

How sad.

I have a bit of a habit. I tend to minutely acquire accents that I hear. It's usually scarcely perceptible, being mostly certain words, and unless I'm "practicing" (I use the term loosely) the accent, it's generally unconscious.

Tonight, I took a late tray in to a patient and was setting up her tray table and whatnot. She had several feet of tubing on the table.

"They've got you hooked up to a mile of this stuff," I remarked.

"Yeah," she explained, "They gave me an extension so I reach the bathroom."

"Well, that makes a bit of sense, I suppose," I grinned.

"Are you from England?" she asked me. I can only assume I must have blushed a faint bit.

"No," I told her, "I've just been watching too many British shows." You see, I had been saying all of this with a British accent. The show I'd been watching just before work? Torchwood. She told me I had it down well, which I found pleasantly flattering, knowing my ability with languages and such. Then again.... she sounded a bit drugged, so maybe it just all sounded the same to her through her painkillers!

Anyhow, I just thought that I'd share.

Good night, all.
