Since it's coming to the end of the year, it's time for us to start clearing out our old files. Anything that is over seven years old (so any records on children who finished their chemotherapy by the end of 2005), needs to be scanned into PDF files and then all of the paper records have to be shredded.

Now since this is always a huge undertaking (usually takes until the end of January), we try and get some of the staff to persuade their kids to come in and lend a hand (saves paying agency staff a small fortune). One of our new nurses has talked her 19 year old son into helping out, as his university has already broken up for Xmas.

The only problem is that he makes this look like the rear end of a bus:

and makes one of these jealous (and yes Andy does know, because Andy peaked in the restroom):

I just hope we get this project finished before I drown in my own drool.
