Jillsy-isms

Well, I am definitely feeling more comfortable in my work relationships,because I have found that people are starting to treat me more familiarly(is that a word?). And by that I mean that they are comfortable enough to laugh at me ,with me and about me. Which I am so very cool with,because if you can't laugh what's the use in getting up every morning and going to work. I used to like to dress cute and go to work. Believe me there is nothing flattering about hunter green scrubs.So I needed people interaction/fun conversation to motivate me to get to work, and it's really tough when these people are sizing you up,and you need to be professional and make sure they trust your skills. So now that I think they trust that part of me I can finally show the true Jillsy. First of all they didn't know the Jillsy name. They do now, and some of them are using it. I found out I make sounds... One of my coworkers was working on the computer and she said I'm going to make a Jill sound. I asked, I make sounds? They all laughed,yes. They all knew the sound, The only way I can explain the sound it's the sound you make when you are signing a cut throat. Isn't that funny? I didn't know I did that. I do it when I make a mistake on the computer. And believe me I did it a lot when I first started. I caught myself the other day making that sound when Rob was driving and just missed an oncoming car.(he hates the sound)he! he! I also do a MMM,Mmm,mmm, kind of noise.I knew I did that one...you know like when you're dissapproving of something. I just didn't realize I made that sound out loud, I thought it was in my head, oops.
Another random thing was while in report one of the girls had a premonition about a patient, and Pam another therapist said, You have ESPN, as Jill would say. Yes, and don't you forget it. On another occasion I had forgotten to document some of my procedures, and one of the girls left me a note, I made my corrections and and left her a note thanking her,and the only explanation I had was that I had a TIA.(transient ischemic attach,mini strokes),hello, they are all using it now. Love it.In the words of Sally Fields, "you like me you really like me." I'm being my drama self now,but I need to hang on to these little meaningless things in order to be comfortable being the real me. Which is a whacky zaney person.They ain't seen nothin yet? Have they friends?
It takes me back to when Bri was in a psychology class in college, and she informed me there are different kinds of humorous people. She stated that her father says funny things, while I say things funny. I guess she was right after all.I am just happy to laugh again in the work place,cause nothing is worse than a job without fun. It's like a day without sunshine,and we all know how sucky that is.Smile it takes less muscles to smile than to frown.
