I want each and every one of you to tell your parents "Thank you for not giving me a dumb-ass name". Please. Had a patient whose name rhymed. I can't tell you what it was but it is similar to Todd Dodd or Fred Phred. I wanted to puke. Also, strep throat is no reason to go to the emergency room. See the woman over there who cannot breathe? That's an emergency. If you have a scratchy throat, call your doctor's office. If you are in the waiting room for the ER for several hours then decide to go home, call an ambulance and you wind up back at the same ER. Congratulations! You're not only an asshole, you STILL have to wait your turn... and if the reason you came was due to your kid having a fever, please see above note to strep throat. We had so many patients tonight, I can't keep 'em all straight. I called a critical result to the ER doc about one patient, his reply was "Who is that? Oh, I haven't even gotten to that bed yet!" then lots of grousing. It was just a mess over there - people who needed help but we had to weed through the idiots who just want a day off from school/work. *Insert Marge Simpson grunt here*

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. I'm proud of myself - I did NOT buy any donuts. I did buy a container of brownies but that's for work. (We need to keep our sugar up.) I bought some jelly beans, too. If I come home tomorrow and I'mtypinglikethis it is because I've had too much sugar.

I found my antique drafting kit. :D It's old, not sure how old, and is in a nice folder with blue velvet lining. It has a compass with a bow pen on it so I can draw inked circles. I love it. My mom got it for me - probably at a yard sale. I was trying to draw a mandala yesterday and I cannot free hand circles. Rooted around in the art mess and found the kit. My kid is VERY similar to this http://www.etsy.com/listing/77761766/vintage-drafting-tools except I have all the pieces to mine, including some of the old wrapping paper around the pens.

Well, I need to soak my head and put my feet up. I'm so tired.

work, artsy farsty, names, fws, sugar
