Or, they look like giant dominos waiting for someone to push the first one over...
boom,boom,boom,boom........

I would have never thought of that Grifspop. Good thing you watch tv, because I sure as hell don't and would NEVER have thought of that. Now I must ramble on about how that does look like a Cingular ad.

Well, it rather looks like "Beth" to me, but then, I'm a little on the non-romantic side - sterile and clinical and all that. :-)

ROFLMBO Grifspop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)

At first, I thought it was a Cingular ad, you know, more bars in more places.

One of my all time favorite hallway shots, Mr. Motts!!!! ;-)

Jo, I REALLY love you! 8`-)

Marvelous shades of blue.

It's interesting to me that the rooms all had windows facing into the courtyard. That is unusual and somewhat comforting to me. Due to the vast size of so many large facilities, many isolation rooms had no outside window at all or the outside windows didn't have much in the way of a view.

If you've ever worked the violent ward and had someone in a seclusion room urinate on you, throw their food back in your face, or spit or vomit through the slot in the door on you, you would appreciate the slots being located at the bottom of the door more. That probably sounds cold to some of you, but trust me - one of the few things that makes a number of staff predictably furious is having bodily fluids tossed on them, whether or not the person doing the throwing is in possession of their faculties. If anything "prompts" abuse from those staff who may be prone to do it, it is being spit on or having bodily fluids of any sort flung in their general direction. The positioning of these door slots probably saved many a person an abusive encounter, as folks were generally placed in isolation when they were the least in control of their faculties.

Spoken as a person who has had to wear their fair share of other peoples' bodily fluids. :-)

After shoveling the driveway (and sledding some) I came inside to a wonderful surprise by Mister Motts. <3

Thank you Sir Motts.

I agree completely; especially with the feeling of tension, because I have it when viewing this photo! I keep thinking, "If only I can make it across this walkway to the door...if only I can make it..."
