Work was insanely busy. All departments getting slammed. Banged my right arm on a door handle because I am the Queen of No Depth Perception. Yeah, got a nice hematoma coming up there. Makes it painful to do certain things. Around 0345, some of the analyzer interfaces stopped working. Also, at the same time, the hand held mobile phones also stopped ( Read more... )

I have to get this out before it festers. I have a coworker who is ALWAYS late. Last Friday morning, she called at 0515 to say she was going to be late. Then at 0520 she called again and said she wouldn't be in at all because she was sick. Well, she's supposed to be at work by 0500 so this was all particularly shitty. This morning, she was late ( Read more... )

Crappy week ends on crappiest night of all. Busy, blood bank, computer downtime with everything all buggered up, trying to do everything alone (including the downtime computer stuff)... headache.

(You may skip over this post as it's going to be a lot of bad words about my job but I have to 1. vent and 2. document what's going on in case I need back up from where I have been overworked and made a mistake. I don't think I screwed up anything but there was so much bullshit going on this morning, I have ( Read more... )

Last night was hell on wheels. 21 patients, 3 manual diffs, 1 type and screen with XMs, 1 DAT, blah blah blah. Yeah, typical Dr. A. night. :P ( Read more... )

No post yesterday. Sorry. LJ was acting up and I was so tired, I didn't have the energy to wait for it to quit being stupid ( Read more... )

I am exhausted. I did not sleep yesterday. I tossed and turned but my mind was in high gear despite my body being half dead. I don't know which it is, the Welbutrin or the newly filled bottle of Ambien. I decided today that I will take the Welbutrin before work rather than when I get home. I went to bed at noon and was up and down until around 1700 ( Read more... )
