Lights out

At the dental school we have about 150 chairs on the floor. That means that at any given time, there could be that many dentists busily going about their work. Well yesterday during clinic the light suddenly flickered, and half of them cut out. Luckily we still had some light, and the computers were still up. Handpieces still worked, but suction was down. Yeah, it was crazy! Add to that our crazy clinic director suddenly running through the clinic saying "get everybody out!" I had no idea what was happening, and this being Nebraska, I thought for sure there was a tornado headed for us! About five minutes later the lights completely cut out, and the computers went down. It was insanity! Then, Dr. Howard finally makes an announcement, telling us the electricity was fine and that we should resume clinic activity. What a joke! However, the rest of the day was perfectly normal, and there was no tornado.

Other than that, I have managed to put myself in numerous awkward positions this week. However, most the time I find them amusing, and just regard them as life as usual!
