I dunno
Bored. Yep. Bored. I can't get Piper to answer me...she's probably not even at the computer and I poke her in IM but she's not there! Poop! I really wanted to talk to her so maybe if I waste time here...she might pop up.
Jenn is here from California and I think I really put my foot in it this time. I mentioned my problem with putting my 'first shift' manners on with Roman and it got blown all out of proportion. She doesn't understand why I can't just BE myself but not BE myself to him. Or rather...keep any comments about him to myself. I'm not used to being censored and apparantly it showed. Jenn mentioned that the last time we were together, I was very cold. I thought we hashed that out and everything was fine but apparantly not. Ah well.
I don't think she'll ever quite understand what I'm trying to explain but for her...I will do my best to get 'over' my reticence with Roman. He IS a part of our family and it really was my acceptance of him that got me into trouble in the first place. I just got TOO comfortable and opened my mouth. Seriously tho...all I said was, 'cute ass'. Unfortunately, he took it wrong and even tho it was NOT my intent...it made him uncomfortable. So now I feel odd around him...like I can't quite be myself. I don't want to put my foot in it again and am being uber careful and I guess that is what Jenn is picking up on.
I wish I could just forget the whole thing every happened or that I mentioned it again to Jenn since it didn't really do any good by bringing it up. I think that the idea of a family trip is a good one and perhaps THAT will enable me to get to know him better and be able to feel comfortable around him again. I definitely don't want him to EVER feel uncomfortable around me since he IS part of the family. Hrm...perhaps I should give Jenn this link...might do that. Sometimes I write down what I feel better than I can say it.
Other than being an idiot...things are ok. Work has hit a dull spot with the same old, same old. Happens every now and again. I get to the point where if I see even one more req or one more spec to label or take one more assinine phone call, I'll totally scream. Dave was harping on me today and I was about to take his head off. I made two simple errors and he had a cow. One was forgetting that the code for a urine creat was different than a serum creat. Then I left an alcohol serum on it's own number from the er rather than putting it on the bmp label. Even tho I DID write the number of the bmp tube so he could find it on the label...duh! So he comes and complains all at me. Wah. If he'd come out again, I do believe I might have told him to jump out the fifth floor.
However, I do think that the fact that they were slammed in chemistry does give him some credit and I understand why the errors I made frustrated him but don't be taking that crap out on me. The one humorous thing was that at the end of the day, Wendy whispered to me that if Dave had done that to her, she'd be crying! Imagine that! Me less flappable than Wendy!!! She's very emotional but still! I used to freak out on a regular basis. I'm very proud of myself for standing up to him.
I'm also going to deck one of the ER techs. Nicole is her name and talk about freakin rude! They kept sending up specs that hadn't been entered so I called her and asked if they could keep them down there til the orders were in. To me...that makes a lot of sense...then I don't have to call down there...wasting their time asking about orders and asking them to call when they're in (which they don't always do). But she got snippy and nearly slammed the phone in my ear. Does it again... and I swear...I'll write her ass up.
Hrm. Sounds like I'm getting a bit tired of being walked on, yes? Good for me...about freakin' time!!!!
Piper's back so I am outta here!
