Bad Ways to Wake Up

My cell phone beeps at 3:47 a.m. on a Monday morning. It's the coroner's office, urgently needing records on one of my patients.

  1. Thats just wrong. There is nothing urgent about "dead".

  2. My daughter says "what on earth does a coroner want that's so urgent? They'll still be dead in the morning!" She's 18 and off to study drama, but I often wonder if she should do stand-up comedy instead.

  3. A murder investigation would be urgent....and dramatic too.

  4. Were you able to sleep after that? I know if I got a call like that my curiosity would be killing me! Awful pun, I know.

  5. Does Mrs. Grumpy sleep with earplugs in her ears?

  6. Lipstick- No, after 12 years she's just learned to zone them out.

    On my call weekends, though, I usually sleep on the couch in my home office. This is my decision, because I can get boatloads of calls on those nights, and don't want to bother anyone else.
