In the medical field (and I’m sure other professions), it’s a common superstition that if you say the word “quiet,” things get crazy busy. I’ve been a nurse for 10 years and someone said to me “I’m not going to say the ‘q’ word.” I was so confused and loudly responded “queer?”
I’m about to turn 30. I’m laying here, my back hurts really bad, my mind is as dull as ever, and I’ve been trying really hard not to cry today. This will be fun.
