Shoulder your gear and get ready to go

Today I'm on the late shift. 1-9pm. which is better I think than the 12-9.30pm stint i used to do in Frenchay. More time to read, watch youtube (it's a happy addiction) and skip around inside my own head. You guys may laugh at the last one but for me it's a good thing. I'm not sure why it is good, just as I'm not sure where this journal post is going, but it allows a bit of release as my creative side runs riot in my cranium.
Passover starts tonight, Easter's at the weekend starting the 4 day bank-holiday in England. I wouldn't get this is Frenchay. I'd be rostered on for at least 1 possibly 2 of the shifts. Either half-shifts or whole affairs breaking up any time off I would get to rest, chill, see friends and eat. I like the fact that that isn't the case anymore. Urology is generally elective (90% of the time) and runs that way. I'm on the nightshift next thursday night during the royal wedding (yawn!) but as that is a weekend and also a bank holiday I think I can sacrifice my weekend for the bonus that'll hit my bank-account in a few weeks time.

I'm just stressed out at the moment with this move. We go on Friday, I've no idea when the guys arrive but when they do it'll be as fast as it was last August bank-holiday when we moved into the flat. Not rushing, but not stopping or slowing either. Steady - pace.
And I've got a block of monumental proportions. Sorry, should that be BLOCK OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS? I have part A, and part C but I can't for the life of me see a part B to connect the two at the start of the second part of this manuscript. My protagonists are landing in New York, but it's just starting the ball rolling from the correct perspective. I've got around 4 on the cards as possibles but none of them seen 'right'.

And for the record, fellow writers, question: If you're writing dialogue and speech these days is it " or '? Which speech marks are correct these days? Cos I was brought up with these = " not these = '? But if these ' are the thing I guess i have A LOT of amending to do. :(

Work is still there. That case on thursday wrecked my confidence a bit, I know it's gonna take a while to build everything up again. It's just.. I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct anymore. Even the littlest things like laying things on mayo tables correctly. I don't know how I fix this feeling.

and I've just noticed that on the 'Post an Entry' page it says "devida switch".
wow.. spooky.

scrubbing, work, scary surgeons, moving house, writer's block, self-belief, stress, doubt
