Ramblings on being slightly surprised

Well, it seems as though it’s going to be one of those weeks that my past life comes back to haunt me.

A girl just had a fit in the office; never been known to have one before, just went down. Apparently all that training doesn’t leave you and it just kicked in without me even thinking about it. I haven’t worked for the service for two years now and I’m surprised by how automatic my response was. Everything that I was supposed to do was just there in my head and I took control of the whole situation within a second. And it’s weird, when you act and talk with authority people just listen and respond. I’ve experienced it a hundred times before, but not in this environment so it was a bit different. Although I have just had to apologise for barking orders at people…

It’s also weird because I don’t expect to have to do that sort of thing anymore so it all seems a bit surreal and I’m now downing coffee likes it’s going out of fashion. My non-smoking during the day thing has just flown out of the window too…

Oh wow, that's really good to know. I've wondered about that...seeing as how I've been out of nursing for over 5 years now. That's good to know.

Yeah, I've wondered if anything would come back and it did. I was a bit shakey afterwards, but that was processing the surprise of it I think. When it actually happened it was total auto pilot. Hopew you don't have to find out yourself anytime soon.
