I need a Ben icon to lul me to sreep.
Right now I'm ridiculously cold because I took my RLS meds for bed and they mess with stuff your body should do on its own, like regulating your body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, etc. This wouldn't be a big deal if I were in bed and hooked up to my CPAP.
Buuuuuut I can't seem to fall asleep. I just had a really weird night last night at work and long story short, I spent over 2 and a half hours running back and forth between the ethernet switch (in the BACK of the lab in a fire closet) to the FRONT of the lab where the computers are kept trying to figure out why none of the computers were reading the room base stations (I know that makes no sense). It didn't help that I was on a conference call with K AND the guy that originally set up the system and HE didn't even know what was wrong.
After much exercise on my part (including getting medieval with scissors and wanting to kill whoever tied the cables together), the guy finally figured out that one of our entire ethernet switches is fried (we have 2). So I was able to get 5 out of 8 rooms up and running. Good enough until we can get a new one.
Add to this that patients were coming in and being hooked up when we STILL didn't even know if things were going to work, ANOTHER person was there in training and barely lifted a hand to try to help anywhere (had the nerve to ask if he could turn the TV on), the chick I was working with was copping an attitude with me and then being all sweet. The only person that helped me is that one that's still halfway in training. She totally kept a level head and made sure things got done while I was running back and forth. So yeah, 4 people in the lab, me one of them, and only one other really helping out.
I'm still afraid of trying to stand up tonight when I wake up. I know I'll probably be a pile of crippled feet. Urgh. But now I guess my mind is still in OHMYGODOHMYGOD mode. I have the next 3 nights off, and I told K I'm NOT available for calls of a business like nature. I've earned this weekend.
