(no subject)
I think I'm going to get back into posting in this thing. (I know I've said that before...)
*I think I'm going to get a Roomba. I was going to wait for Christmas but 1)that's a sad Christmas gift and 2)I currently don't have a working vacuum cleaner and I can't wait 3 months to get one. The difficulty comes when I can't figure if I want a high end fancy one (cleans 4 rooms!) or a cheap one (it's still a vacuum cleaner after all).
*The Cubs' magic number is 3 (any combination of Cubs wins and Milwaukee losses that add up to 3) and they get into the playoffs. There are four games left in the season. Tickets for the playoffs sold out in 15 minutes. I was out in Wrigleyville on Saturday night around 1am and there was a line around the block to buy the tickets. My friend A thought they were homeless people, but I'm pretty sure that most homeless people don't have laptops. If they do, they don't have priorities I suppose.
*Work is work. We're moving into a brand new very fancy hospital in a month. Seriously fancy. 42 inch plasma screen TVs with on-demand movies and video game with individual room service fancy. Though there are lots of things they forgot like to give the clocks in the rooms second hands so that we can count pulse and respirations, and there are handles on the sinks instead of foot pedals which is not good for infection control, and the patients can't control the lights in the room from their bed. Bet that'll be good for falls. Ahh well at least there's a big screen TV right?
*Because of the move we're decreasing the number of beds on our floor. This means that we're decreasing staff size, which is fine. But a lot of people have already left for their new jobs and we're short staffed now. Which is not fine and means a lot of shitty days.
Other than that not too much going on. I'm kind of broke, I still have the itch to buy a house but I really can't afford it.
Oh yeah! My sister's pregnant. She's due in March/April. Which is the biggest news of all. I'm already spending most of my non-existent spending money on the baby.
