nursing in the snow SUCKS.
i can't get to work. there is still 2 feet of snow at the least in the road on my block. the men in my neighborhood shoveled a path for walking but shoveling the entire street is hopeless. as of yesterday afternoon you still needed 4wd to drive on both baltimore and lombard (which are the two streets that my block is in between), we've all put in requests to be plowed with the baltimore police too stating that several nurses and doctors live on my street.
besides my street not being plowed, for those of you who haven't seen my house, i have a parking pad in the back of my house. the men on my street shoveled SO MUCH yesterday to try to get us all out. my neighbor, Remington and i still can't get our cars all the way out. i cleared off my car and the snow is waist deep and i have NO WHERE to put the snow if i shovel it. they're doing more today though and i've been feeding Remington in exchange for his help getting me out of my driveway. even if i do get out though my parking area is an incline and my truck DOES NOT DRIVE ON ICE OR SNOW (or rain for that matter).
So, i have my bags packed, because once i do get to work who knows when i'll be able to get home....especially if another foot of snow is coming...i don't know i started crying trying to shovel myself out with what we already have.... i have called the hospital, and i am waiting for a ride.
volunteers provide rides for the nurses at the hospital but so many people need rides and not all of the volunteers are showing up. SO I'M JUST SITTING HERE WAITING. i'm in sweats but i have scrubs standing by and more clothes in the laundry too if they get done before i get to work.
The shift that is currently working has been stuck at the hospital since friday night, i feel so bad for them....that's terrible.
I never thought i'd actually be trying to hard to get to work.
In other news, I met a guy. He lives 2 blocks away so we've spent the past week pretty much together and we don't hate each other yet....more importantly i don't hate him. i've known him for the past 2 months. anyway we have plans, he asked me out relentlessly for valentine's day because his friends are all going to see umphrey's mcgee and he needed a date (even though neither he nor i like umphrey's haha) - then he's taking me to see Portugal. the man on March 18th....and we're going to opening day in April. it's so weird having plans and not being freaked out by them. it's even nice.
