finally. i have a day off. sort of. i didnt work last night. but i did have to go in from 0300-0600 this morning. ugh.
final proof that different shifts do different things different ways.
--pretend you understand--
when i got in to work this AM i pulled a pending log...lets me know what hasnt been done...i pulled a log for yesterday to see if anything got missed. it did. a patients labs got kicked into the 2400 hour and the label does not print anything in that hour. its either 2359 or 0000. our LIS does not recognize 2400. an ongoing unresolved issue. so at 0330 i force printed a label for it and this mornings tech asked me about it. i told her i came in at 0300 and when i pulled a log to just make sure, i found it. 3rd shift tech shouldve caught it. but our 3rd shift tech for the night was a regular 2nd shifter person. ugh. so it wasnt caught. or just nothing was done about it.
and going in with a hangover so does not help. nope.
had to take my sister to the dr. today. that was an all day thing. not that i mind. i dont. thats why i took the night off.
so whats the first thing i do when i get home? drink. oh yeah! a 'shot of happy'. whisky is my drink of choice. at least this headache thats been plagueing me all day is gone!!!!!!!!!
i have worked last thursday night thru this past wednesday night, and friday morning. i go back saturday night and sunday night and them i'm off mon-wed.
yay!!!!!
hopefully the new tech will start soon. i dont know how much extra hours i can pull and still live.

my daughter asked her dad today about 'retirement'. shes 7. what a conversation that was.
i got 'the bourne ultimatum'. saw it in the movie theater. good movie.

3rd floor nursing station. i wrote "there are trolls in the elevator" on one of the white boards wednesday night. this morning a nurse asked me if the trolls were still there. and she didnt even work wed night! i had to admit to her that i didnt know since i just got here at 0300 and havent had a chance to ride the elevators. so i wasnt sure.
peace out....be careful of the trolls.
