working late gets you thinking....
I must be a glutton for punishment. I was supposed to have two days off in a row, but I'm trying to make money for Alaska, so when I was called around lunch time to work a graveyard shift that night I agreed. I stayed up till 2030, when Chet told me I need to try and take a nap. I only got like a half an hour, and I was more tierd when I woke up. I've never worked a graveyard either. Now I know why Dad had such a hard time sleeping. I so feel his pain! So in order to make it through the night I bought two Rockstar energy drinks and a took a NoDoz. That's like crack to me, it's worked for about 6 1/2 hours, but now I'm finally starting to slow down. Whew! I can't wait to go home and sleep till 1400 when I get to go to Colville with Chetters and help the rents. It's good to see my mommy getting better.
Anywho, I overheard that they didn't have anyone for tomorrow's graveyard shift...so me being the retard that I am I volunteered to work again. It just means that I get Friday and Saturday off in a row. Sort of. I hope I'll get more sleep than I did for this shift. Graveyard isn't too bad, but I was the only Aid on the floor, so I did 26 sets of vitals, and 11 the second time. UGH! And every room I came too, people either needed something or they got the chatty Cathy out of me. Then I went to go give a girl a break, and I thought she'd be gone 10 minutes, but no- it was 25 minutes later! I was only half way done too! I was pissed because it took me like 1 1/2 hours to get them all done, then I charted, ate some food and did it all over again.
The nurses' are all really funny though, no one's a grump, so I'm happy about that.
Well then, I'm going to mill around and look like I'm busy. Ta ta!
