Really bad start on this night, taking care of a 13-year old suicide victim. Gunshot to the head. What a waste... a permanent solution to a temporary problem. But you can never know what goes on in someone else's head. If you could, you'd be crazy too. A case like this affects all of us, not many cheerful people around the hospital tonight. I'm really glad that this is my last night, it's been a long hard seven days this time, even worse that the 21 I worked earlier this summer that I bitched so much about. Anyway, they're harvesting the organs on the patient, and will it make seven or eight families happy to see their loved ones receive them so that they can live.

I'm going to start moving stuff around in the basement tomorrow so I can get the computer stuff moved. I think I've got it pretty well planned out... but I know it'll end up entirely different anyway...

I got an email from JD today, his trip back was not so uneventful anyway. It rained really bad on him, and he ate some MacFood and got really sick, had to get a motel and there weren't any available, drove on further, finally found a room, and called Lisa and she and Tyler came and rescued him. I think he was in Tyler, TX. So that's why he didn't call Saturday! I knew he should've got a good nights' sleep first. Maybe next time, he'll listen to me! Right, JD?

Getting fed up with my ISP. Many "can't find" errors, slow mail, slow connections. I haven't talked to them about it yet, and I don't really want to move my site, but I will if necessary. If I can't get out, that means nobody can get in, so what's the point? Also, a couple of friends of mine who signed up with the same service (at my recommendation) are jumping ship, that makes me feel like a fool, too. And I do that often enough by myself with no prompting!

Curses! The tech who comes in at 07:00 (so I can go home) has a sick son, and isn't coming in today! I have to be here an extra half-hour! Actually, I'm supposed to be here until 07:30 anyway, but I usually have OT and leave at 07:00. So Darn! I'll miss seeing Karen, we've been seeing each other a few minutes after I get home and before she goes to work. That's really nice for me, she's all prettied up and perfumed. Probably not so nice for her, I've been working twelve hours and look and smell like it!

Home, kick off the shoes, take the pills, come in and sit down at the keyboard... no work for the next seven days! I've got to go in early to Medassist tonight, though, the day tech has a dr appointment at 15:30, so I need to be there by 15:00. Looking forward to that, I like working there.

I'm really beginning to feel bad about my lack of inspiration lately. I don't want this to get boring, and it seems to be. But my life has been boring lately... work and sleep. Maybe that'll change with the time off, maybe I can get rejuvenated and get some zip! back. Maybe not. I dunno. Maybe I should just skip days that'll be boring, but then I might just forget about it altogether, and I don't want to do that. O'well, I'll figger it out and let you know. Or maybe not...
