Work Chants

anonymous · 08-20-2006, 11:54 PM

Sometimes, you need to chant something just to get thru the day.

Try this one and see how many people you can get saying it -

I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS -I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - ect.

Infectious little ditty, don'tcha think?

I've had a couple of work mantras. One is "Change is Evil, Change is Bad".

My favorite mantra: "Only two more days till Saturday... Only one more day till Saturday..."

Even better: "Only four more hours till I get out of this place!"

I just sing Todd Rungren:

"I don't want to work
I just want to bang on my drum all day"

HBO Special on Belleview (sp?) Hospital in NYC.
Opie and Anthony use it quite a bit.

I just grumble-mumble, long unintelligible sentences punctuated by an occasional, clearly spoken, "praise Allah".

Nice.

I sometimes get on the PA system and say "I love tatertots" in a dopey voice.

I just love the interdepartmental memos - "Please do not use the 'Public Announcement System' for personal use." Ok, yeah, I'll get right on that.

I need to see that special. I saw about 15 minutes of one that ran on A&E last week. It was all very, very familiar. I liked the little window onto New York Crazy. I'm very familiar with Philly Crazy. What I found interesting is that I have a patient that is originally from NYC, and has spent time at The Vue. There was a remarkable similarity between her and several of the schizophrenic patients I saw in the documentary (There are regional flavors to crazy, much like wine varietals vary from state to state, even if they are from the same rootstock).

No wonder I thought that the chant that started this thread had a real nuthouse feel to it.

You don't have to be crazy to work here, we can train you.

I fucking hate this fucking place.

We're all here when you're not all there.

These are just a few examples of ours ...

You have to have something to eat up the time in between having someone take a swing at you and sitting back and relaxing while discussing things like "which bodily fluid would you rather have contact with?"

Just in case you were wondering, there's a fine line between purulent stool and bloody phlegm. It's really hard to choose.

That is why we don't have a public announcement system.

See, you didn't have to touch the medical waste. That makes a big difference.
