Hospital Admissions

"Hospital Admissions"

In the admitting office of our hospital, some
patients were filling out forms, others were
being interviewed and still others were being
escorted to their rooms.

An elderly woman hesitantly entered my cubicle.
She had completed her admitting forms and,
upon my request, handed me her insurance cards.
I typed the necessity information and then asked
her the reason for her coming to the hospital.

"Just to visit a friend," she said, "but this had
taken so long, I'm not sure I have time now."

"The Sorting Office"

Myrddin had gotten a part time job at the Post Office
and the supervisor there had been warned that he
was somewhat of a dullard, but the supervisor
took a liking to him and agreed to let Myrddin help
him. If nothing else, he would be an extra set of hands.

The supervisor gives Myrddin the job of sorting,
and much to everyone's surprise, Myrddin
separated the letters so fast that his motions
were literally a blur. Extremely pleased by this,
the supervisor approached Myrddin at the end of the day.

"I just want you to know," he said, "that we're all
very proud of you. You're one of the fastest
workers we have ever had."

"Thank you," said Myrddin, "and tomorrow I'll try to do even better."

"Better?" the supervisor asked with astonishment.
"How can you possibly do better?"

Myrddin replied, "Tomorrow I am going to read the addresses."
