THE HEATER IS GONE

I went to work on Friday like any other day. As I was sitting there checking in patients, my co-worker says to me "have you seen the heater?" I was shocked, the heater was no where to be found. It was all I could do to not start laughing and doing the happy dance. Throughout the day I looked around and suddenly my eyes drifted toward the ceiling and behold, there on the top shelf, sitting very quietly was THE HEATER. ha ha ha ha, I could not believe it. There she sat wondering what the heck happened to her heater and it was hovering only 3 feet above her head. This could not have been more perfect if I had planned it myself. I felt rather tense during the day, I was afraid her eyes might drift toward the ceiling and she would spot the heater and then I would have to spend the rest of the day in sweltering heat. I was also concerned that I would burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Later in the afternoon I mentioned the situation to my supervisor who looked at me and said "ITS SUMMER, SHE DOESN'T NEED A HEATER". This is why I love her and am so devoted to her. "In fact," she said, "lets throw it out". In one felt swoop I heard the angels singing, the saints were dancing and my hot flash disappeared. I could barely contain my joy. Then she said "do you want it?", OMG do I want the heater that has tormented me for the last 6 months ......thinking...........thinking......NO. I do not want to know where the heater is. I do not want to be an accomplice.
and just before I left for the night, the super walked in grabbed the heater and with a thud, it landed directly in the garbage can.

THE END
