Word of the Day: Triage

I was just talking to a friend of mine online. In describing my work I used the word triage. I don't know why, it just felt like the right word. I was a little concerned that it might be a misuse, considering the heavy dose of hospital-related TV shows Nelly and I watch. However, after looking it up online, I think it's pretty appropriate.

the system of prioritizing patients in an emergency situation in which there are a great number of injured or ill.

It's an apt metaphor for my situation these days. It's funny how this sort of thing just kinda blows up on you.
