You leave work totally exhausted due to a day straight out of an
insane asylum and you think if I can just lie down for just a
minute, I can get a second wind for the chores I have to do before
going to bed. You're out cold before your head hits the pillow.
Suddenly you sit straight up in bed and look at the clock and it's 6:30.
You jump out of bed screaming obscenities because you've overslept
and you're still in the clothes you wore to work. You call work to tell
them you're on your way — only to discover it's 6:30 at night.

When bathing or showering, you start from the center and wash
out, just like you do on a skin prep.
20.
You think the best photograph of yourself lately is the one on
your ID badge.
21.
After work, you know a shower isn't going to be enough. You're
going to need an autoclave.

You might work in the OR if you line up or stack everything in
your closets, drawers and cabinets in the order of the
most frequently used down to the least seldom used.
I rotate my linens and socks in this fashion.
The grocery stores call this "fronting the shelves."
