There's this guy I work with on my three graveyard shifts who is dumb. I mean really stupid. It takes him weeks to learn something new and it's obvious he is learning disabled but do you think I show him any compassion? No. Of course not. I'd like to but I just can't help myself. I'm merciless in my treatment of him and it's getting worse to. I point out almost all of his mistakes and ride him constantly about doing his job correctly. I guess I'm justified in riding him about his laziness but when it comes to his endless questions of things he should know already I really should be more patient but instead I tell him things like,"Well, duhh..on(his name is Don), why don't you take notes then you could remember this shit." I swear every time he asks me how to fill out a lab slip or code on the EMF it's all I can do not to shout,"Look here dumbfuck, I have my own work to do." It doesn't help matters any that the nurse I'm working with right now is just plain bizarre and takes ten minutes to circumstantially get around to making any kind of point. This guy does take notes. Exteensive ones that noone else reads and take hours for him to complete and if his ritual is broken in any way at all then he is completely stymied. I mean he's smart but everything takes him time. I'll give you an example. A patient asks him for a med that is not ordered. Instead of saying,"Sorry, that's not ordered for you, talk to your doctor tomorrow about it," he'll say,"...(five second pause) Well...I have a list of medications that I can give out at any certain time and it seems that it doesn't look like that probably isn't on this particular list for you at this time. I'd like to give it to you, I really would but I don't think that I can right now. I'm awfully sorry about that but...hmmm...it seems like that is what we have to do at the moment and I don't think I can help you right now." I'm rude to him to and I don't like it but I can accomplish five tasks in the time it takes him to complete a sentance. I find myself stealing charts right out in front of him and doing what I need to do then putting it back in front of him before he seems to know it's even gone. Oh well, it's kind of fun even though it's frustrating at times.

I'm hoping my next batch of Netflix arrives today. I'm supposed to get The Incredibles and Paycheck. Jake and Jen are coming over tonight and I want to veg out and watch movies with them.
