I am oh-so-fullo snot. It's like the Tick SnotMonster took up residence in my sinuses, fer serious. But I work because, you know what?, who else is going to wrangle demented old women at 3 o'clock in the morning? 

Worked without a preceptor for the first time last night. It was stressful as all frell, but I survived! even if I ended up staying behind an extra hour to get all of my charting done. The wrangling old women line? completely true. That lady was the main reason I ended up so behind in the first place. Well, her and (another!) GI bleed patient, although this one was much more stable than the last. I go back again tonight and I do hope things are quieter. After this shift -three days off in a row, babee! ::is stoked::

My BF from HS e-mailed me after more than a year of non-communication to ask me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. Here begins my "always the bridesmaid" routine. I'm thrilled for her, of course. Just this side of bitter, that's all. 

Why are there no goddamned Wiis anywhere in this blasted city?!?!?!? 

Okay, /transmission.

Overstaffing + option to go back home for the win! 

The staffing person managed to stick *eight* nurses on the floor this evening; five is the usual number. One person called out, but that still left seven people scratching their heads looking at the assignment board while the assistant manager tried to figure out what to do. Once she mentioned going home I jumped all on it: the Snot Monster is still lodged in my nares, and I have a headache that has fought off numerous aspirin attacks. So now: four days off in a row, babee! ::fistpump:: Not getting paid is a minus, but a minor one at this point.
