Change Of Shift | CoS

Posted by Sean on June 11, 2009

The latest installment of Change of Shift is up over at Florence Dot Com with Florence, er.. I mean Barbara(SafetyNurse).

Barbara, sometimes called BO, does a great job. She claims that she sometimes ‘channels’ Florence Nightengale (Flo) in her blogging. I think Flo showed up.

I finally submitted an entry, even if it wasn’t that great of a post.

As always a BIG THANK YOU to Kim over at Emergiblog for getting the CoS party started!
