Fun stuff

  • For the last few days I've been working 730am-430ish at one of the clinics associated with the hospital. Not a horrible shift, but holy shit we are slow. I was amazed that all 4 patients that we had scheduled for CT scans showed up. YAY me for getting a good IV start on one of them. Boo for the lady that got stuck FOUR times before the MRI tech could get one started....
  • I'm only at the the above mentioned until the 18th. The people who work there are nice, but I've spent so much time just sitting around, then getting my ass handed to me because of course 5 patients have to show up at one time, it really sucks.
  • On the 19th, we are leaving for Disneyland. YAY for vacations! Tom wants to drive down, so we are leaving early Saturday morning for a 10 hour drive, then spending the night. Sunday we'll try to be on the road by about 9 or 10 and get to Disneyland 4ish hours later.
  • We get back to town the day before Tom's birthday right in time to go straight back to work. I think I'm going to be exhausted.
  • Starting 4/28 I'll work 3 weeks of 730-4, this time at the hospital only doing CAT scans. When those 3 weeks are up, they expect me to pretty much be able to do any of the exams that we do on a regular basis other than heart stuff (only two techs are fully trained to do those, I'm WAAAAAAY at the bottom of the list :-). I still don't know if I'll be happy to go back to my regular schedule of 3 12's, or if I'll be sad to lose my weekends.....
  • My one close friend I made in x-ray school is getting married in May. Another plus to having weekends off is that Tom and I can go (it's being held about 3 hours away from our house), and I'm hoping to make it a late birthday celebration. Wish me luck finding someone to babysit the kids for 2 nights as my parents are going to be in England...
  • I'm still doing weightwatchers, but because of my shift change, I couldn't go to my meeting yet this week. I wanted to stick with an AM session, but I wasn't up for going Sunday morning, so I'll be going on Saturday. I'd hope for a big loss, but I know its not gonna happen. I'll be happy for a couple of lbs (it will have been 12 days since my last weigh in).

Well I'm gonna hit the sack early tonight--I stayed up late last night to watch the CSI miami conclusion, and I was hating life this morning. My wimpy ass needs 8 hours of sleep. Sure I can function on 7, but I'm in a shitty mood in the morning...
