Miss: Vincent is working late. Talk with Jillian

SORRY HONEY HAVE TO WORK LATE is Vincent's text.

You have an evening to yourself. Well then. Maybe Jillian is on line. So much has happened since you last talked with your daughter.

"Ah ha ha!" Jillian laughs. "They named the baby after you?" she says.

"Laura insisted, after hearing Jeannie's story," you say. "I did sit up with Jeannie all of last night. Well, with Julie Paul spelling me."

"Oh yeah," Jillian said. "She's your favorite nurse, right?"

"I suppose," you say.

"So what was this about you transferring, Mom?" Jillian asks. "I mean, wouldn't it make more sense to promote you or something?"

You say, "There was a scandal with our HR director. She resigned. The nursing director, Maggie Baxter, thought it would be better for me to do a rotation in a different group at the hospital."

"Mm," Jillian acknowledges you with a frown, but doesn't press you. "So you said Maggie had some thoughts?"

Jillian listens to you describe Maggie's suggestions. "I don't know, Mom," she says, "The birth center thing, maybe. And the intern training, that sounds like that could be kind of easy, as long as they aren't coming to it completely green. And you've told me you like that kind of thing. But the mobile outreach stuff sounds like where you started your career, I mean. At least you should be good at it, and you know what it's like."

"I suppose I should go talk to them about it. The Nurse Practitioner with the mobile outreach group is called Poppy Peaceflower Broadback."

"Ah ha, what a name," Jillian says. "Is she from out west?"

"Boulder, actually," you say. "I'm going to go talk with her tomorrow."
