I get all kinds of fun phone calls here at the Surge, some entertaining, some borderline excruciating to get through. I especially love the ones that are a little bit of both, like the one I just received ( Read more... )

I'm going on my seventh year of riding the LIRR daily. Sure there was a year of not doing it because I was at Genesis and also the few months when dad fired me from the Surge, but basically it's been seven years of commuting. The first year of commuting is done by myself but the second year I join my dad on the Port Jeff line every morning at 720. ( Read more... )

I have called out sick today. As much as I didn't want to waste a day and go through the same spiel over the phone with dad ("If there are any repeats to be pulled I can do it tomorrow or Cassandra can call me from her phone and I'll talk her through it other than that, no one should be in my room because I have charts everywhere.

It's lunchtime here at The Surge. I have the office next door to the lunch room so every time the microwave is used, delicious smells waft in and sometimes not so delicious smells.

He's just casually walking down the hallway as if he owns the place. I see him from the corner of my eye and I watch as he makes his way towards Debbie's office.

But he then changes his mind and makes his way towards dad's ( Read more... )

I've just finished stuffing a bagel into my mouth when Valerie alerts me to the fact that there are pastries in the kitchen. I'm floored. "Really? Aw man! I just ate." She tells me I'll change my mind when I look at them. I look at them and oh Lord, I want to change my mind ( Read more... )

The Surge suspended a doctor when I was working at Genesis and somehow in the past couple of days this becomes my problem.

This particular doctor neglected to dictate her operative reports (shocker!) and sign her charts (like oh my God! really?). I'm not sure what makes her any different than EVERY OTHER DOCTOR HERE but The Surge decided this ( Read more... )

To make journal surfing easier, I'll let you in on the secret of my tags. I'm still in the process of tagging (I can't believe how long it's taking!) so bear with me. I think I might have neglected some tags for others so I might go back and even it out. In the meantime, these are the ones I have chosen. From here on out, if I add a tag it'll ( Read more... )

It’s Magda’s birthday today and apparently I’m the only one not privy to this information ( Read more... )

I almost killed myself. And then I almost killed my dad ( Read more... )
