Fortified wine and noble rot
Friday 8 July 2005
Madly rush to finish selection criteria for Western Australian Public Hospital Graduate Nurse Programs.
1513 - Submit application to Graduate Nurse Connect. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital listed as first preference for graduate nurse program.
Relief that I have submitted selection criteria that makes me feel employable. Mum checked and agreed I had addressed the criteria. Await interview and offers.
1530 - Mission Impossible forms. Contact Rover Crew chairman.
1600 - Limit sensory stimulation. Rest in bed to prepare for a night shift.
1900 - Get out of bed
2100 - Night shift on the Neurosurgical ward begins.
Saturday 9 July 2005
0715 - 10 hours later night shift finishes.
* Helped dad collect gas stove (soon the sitting room will be warm, just need to call the plummer to install the gas)
* Trousers and jeans (with subtle fake damage) taken up.
* Got down to Rovers.
* My mum got me to open the bottle of Campbells Rutherglen Tokay. Drank Tokay with bread and butter pudding. Delicious, perfect for a cold winter night.
* Epistaxis - blood from nose sucks.
* It is over 24 hrs since I last slept. Should do. Further sleep deprivation not indicated. Normal wake/sleep cycle will resume on Sunday morning.
