I'm in north Florida, and was scheduled to work Thursday evening at a LTC facility. Thursday was when the tropical storm was supposed to be at its worst, so I was expecting a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Anyone who's ever worked when some kind of natural disaster was looming/happening knows what I mean.
All I can say is that I must have worked off a ton of bad karma, because I had a hall full of pleasant, coherent patients- none of whom crashed or fell or even had so much as a cough. One lady asked for a clean washcloth and apologized for "bothering" me for that. My coworkers were equally pleasant and helpful. The only thing that went less-than-optimal was that my relief was an hour late, but several bridges had been closed at that point so I'm amazed she got there at all. In fact, in my entire experience as a nurse, I don't think I've ever had  such an uneventful shift anywhere besides a group home. 
Oy. I mean...oy. I couldn't believe it. I guess you get one of those every ten years, huh?
