They wear dresses!?!

This past week was pretty busy. I had an appointment to sign some papers for my new job and pick up my uniforms, finish getting the house all settled, get the dogs from the quarantine, and take Punkin to her 8 week post op check up.

At this point the house is all unpacked and organized and the dogs are doing great. Punkin had to have a bile acids test done and the lab values came back basically in the normal range (one level was normal and the other one was 11, normal for this value should have been <5 but her pre op level was >300 so I would say it's pretty good)! They seem to like the area and are really happy to be home.

My uniforms are a different matter! I was told after signing my papers that I would be supplied with 3 uniforms (since I am part time) and I would also get an $80 allowance for shoes per year. I was pretty happy with that, until I went to get them. The lady handed me a dress and told me to try it on. I was like "a dress, but I am in labor and delivery"! She then said that they have pants suits also and they just needed a size, so I went in and tried it on. When I came out she handed me the pants suit like she stated. Afterwards she asked what I would like to get. I told her "3 pants suits" she then replied "you have to have at least one dress" to which I stated again "a dress, but I am a labor and delivery nurse??". She then put down 1 dress, 2 pants suits. I must explain that these dresses are not ankle length. They come right above the knee.
Oh, and I have not told you the best part. Not only do they wear dresses but...............


They are WHITE!!!!

Yes, I will be a smiling, happy, labor and delivery nurse wearing a little, white, knee length dress!! Is it just me or does this sound a little off? Not too sure how this is going to go over but I will tell you this, the first time I get goody juice all over my legs I'm going home!!

That's all for now, I knew that some of you out there would understand why I am frustrated by this and I just felt like venting! Hope all is well!
