Tonight was spent computer-less at work due to the hospital-wide program being updated. I think there were two things that were changed for the lab. :P Not sure what happened elsewhere. Anyway, it was without any major mishaps ( Read more... )

On 12/9, I have a doctor's appointment with a therapist. That was the soonest I could get in anywhere. Of the three therapists that are closest to me: one didn't return my call, one is a guy, the other called me back, is a female and is open for new patients. I felt like a dipshit telling the one secretary, sorry, but I can't talk to a guy. I have ( Read more... )

The apparent cold snap is my fault. I went to a shop online and only purchased one thing - what I had seen in a catalog at work. I looked at other things - backpacks, purses, accessories, sleepwear - but only got the shoes. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Hell hath frozen over ( Read more... )

Work was ok. Busy but not insane. Had another suicide attempt patient. This one took Ambien and drank a lot of alcohol. Her alcohol level alone was toxic ( Read more... )

I'm alive. Got a headache but I'm alive ( Read more... )

As most of you know, I'm pretty liberal. Live your life the way you see fit so long as you don't screw up something for someone else (meaning, me). However, I have issues with morons ( Read more... )

Yesterday at work was weird. Joy and I shouldn't work in blood bank together. We always seem to attract bizarre things. We had a patient come in with an antibody. She needed a transfusion. OK. So we have to antigen type the patient and then a bunch of units. Poor Joy. She had to antigen type ALL of our O- units... and only ONE was Duffy A negative ( Read more... )

Last day in micro. My boss asked me who was training me in that department. Since I'm not good at bullshitting authority, I said, "Damned if I know!" Seriously. No one really sat me down and said, "You need to know this, this and this. Here's how you do it." I hate that. THANKFULLY, I will be training on third shift with Tracy and she will cover ( Read more... )

Had a shitty day. I will skip most of it. All I will say is this: Microbiology was my all time favorite class when in college; having spent only TWO DAYS in the micro department, I now loathe it. All because of stupidity of others. Thankfully, only one more day left. Then I'm out to STAT chemistry in the main lab! :D Back with all the weirdos, ( Read more... )

The weather is utter crap. I tried to go to work. Slid off the road several times, nearly hit the hillside, decided, screw it, and turned around. To get up the hill to the house, I had to have my foot to the floor and spin the wheels like mad to whir my way to the top at a top speed of 0 mph on the dial. :S I absolutely HATE driving in ice ( Read more... )
