There is a full moon today

[Neesy]

Do you know how I can tell? I work at a Psych Health facility and I sit out at Admitting even though I am not an admitting clerk. Judging by the amount of activity out in the hall, I think that old wives tale about the full moon affecting our emotions, etc. is probably true. We get the strangest inquiries at the counter every time there is a full moon out there!

Probably... I won't know until it's time to go home! Of course all I need to do is get up off my chair and go outside to find out

Don't forget to brush off your cowgirl hat before coming in the house!

I work with the public and I see changes in behavior at the full moon, like tomorrow, and at the new moon. I have a friend who works in mental health and she sees it too.

Mental health & emergency room workers, bartenders & cab drivers (I've done both), they know all about that full moon howlin' bein' an "old wives tale", is what I'm thinkin'.
It's like there's weird magic in the air, and not always bad juju, I mean your average everyday full moon susceptible knuckleheads, they usually just gets their numbed skulls stuck in a toilet, or maybe wake up wearing someone else's pants ..hey hey heyyy hey hey, that was just that one time!
But then things always seem to just turn on the thinnest of dimes when it comes societies truly special's mental high tides, F-U-L-L M-O-O-N, that sometimes spells, Flashing Lights

Can anyone see any difference when Mercury is in retrograde?

I can't, but I have a coworker who always yells "Is Mercury in retrograde??" and when I look it up, it IS. I'm always very impressed.

Absolutely--communications are always more difficult during that time.

That's so interesting. He's always frustrated with our teams in Asia when he yells this.

I'm going to have to pay more attention......

Mercury in retrograde is definitely not Mercury's best side.

The skeptic walks in*

I think people, knowing it is a full moon, looks more closely for atypical behaviour.
