How to tell if you need sleep, Installment #396:
You are reading the obituaries on Wikipedia and one man is listed as a "lesbian politician". After the double take, you realize that it is actually listed as a "Lebanese politician".
How to tell if you need sleep, Installment #395:
When driving past the local VFW, you read their menu as "hamsters" instead of "hamsteaks". (I did that one last night.)
Work was blah. Well, it was and it wasn't. We had several overdose/crisis patients... ah, yes; the full moon loon syndrome. One is in bad shape, too. :( I don't know if she will be staying at our hospital until she is physically able to be transferred to a psychiatric place or if she will just go directly to psychiatric care. I feel sorry for the intentional overdose patients more than I do for those who are mixing things they shouldn't. I mean, didn't they pay attention in health class? *Sighs* We also have a diabetic patient who is 17 and in our critical care (ICU) unit. She is in DKA as well as having "intravenous drug overdose". Nice. I understand youthful rebellion and all that but jeez. If you have a health problem, you should try to at least do a little bit of your own health care. :S As grandpa Cazad said, a doctor can only do so much for you so you have to listen to him/her and do your part, too.
As I work third shift, I have become aware of the fact that I'm getting forgetful. Nothing major - no Alzheimer's or anything like that... but I misplace things a lot. Such as, my registration and insurance cards for my vehicle. Shit. I had them out of my car to fill out the form for my speeding ticket. Now I have no idea where they are. *Smacks head* Yes, I thought I put them in my car but they ain't there. I looked. Hell, I even had the guy at the garage look. My inspection runs out 07.31.10. Shit again. (I did get the oil and lube done that it needed. I was also told that it doesn't need anything to pass inspection. :) Yay.) So, now I'm trying to fill out DMV forms and such. I did get a hold of the insurance company and they're going to send me another one. (I usually have an extra one in my wallet - can't find that one either! Dammit!) Does anyone know where I can find the TITLE NUMBER of my vehicle if I can't find my registration!? Brain, I need you to smarten up, there, boy or I'm gonna have to stab you with a Q-Tip!
