In the middle of the night....

So far, so good... but it's not even midnight yet.

And I had a helluva time getting out of bed again. I just want to sleep, sleep, sleep. However, again, it was sleep for an hour, look at the clock, sleep another hour... maybe I'll start taking melatonin again.

The idea of sleeping is to get rested, and I hardly ever feel rested when I get up... and I want to.

I was talking to the other tech that had applied for the supervisor position... he says that there's something politically fishy about the person that was hired. I couldn't get him to elucidate any more about what he knew, though...


And then the shit hit the fan. I spent the next six hours running in zig-zags and circles. Got in the middle of a small power struggle and stayed away from a bigger one but suffered the consequences anyway.

Nothing interesting, nothing big, nothing fun. Just workworkwork. Didn't have time for a backrub or even friendly conversation with my favorite nurse.

Not one of my favorite nights.

It's supposed to be nice today, high up to 55F, but it doesn't make any difference to me, I'll be snoozing. This was my last 10-hour night, coming up are the three twelves... and for the last two of those, my main x-ray machine, the traumex unit, will be down... it's being replaced (finally!) and it'll take a week to get it done. So by my next rotation, I should have a new unit to play with!

Get yer minds out of the gutter... a new x-ray unit! Don't play innocent with me, I'm not in the mood. I know you too well...

Good night.


Thanx for being here!
