And a better night was had by all. Well, by me, anyway. And by that vast hoard of people that I didn't have to x-ray.
Sherry, my trainee (?) was there last night, the last night that we will ever work together probably. Kinda sad, that... I was getting pretty fond of her. I'll just hear about her second-hand, like when the nurses in the ED ask me "Why aren't you as nice as Sherry?" and "Why aren't you as fast as Sherry?"
O'well.
Back to just me there... nobody to do my work for me but me.
I did have a very happy surprise last night, though... I was talking to a guy out in the smoking area, and he mentioned that it was payday. I thought that it was another week away, and I was kinda worried because the ol' checking account was really low...
So I got a big life from that news. Since I'm not doing the seven-on-seven-off, I've gotten confused about paydays. I like to be working on payday, since that means that I won't be out of town and unable to take the $$ out of one bank and put it in another.
Yes, our institution does not let you choose the bank that your paycheck goes into, the direct deposit goes into one bank, and I prefer not to do business with that bank... so I have to write a check for the full amount (-$0.50 for the check) and put it in my bank. A real hassle, it is...
Once again, I was full of ambition before I started home... now I'm not. I will take my nap today sooner than I'd planned on, I think. I was kinda wanting to work outside, but it's been raining, so that put the kibosh on that idea anyway. Darn.
But... something neat happened yesterday afternoon whilst I was sleeping... the lawn fairy came and mowed my front lawn!
I really think that it was Tyler, though.
And that was really nice of him. He is a good kid. Not a perfect kid, mind you... my mother will tell you that there's no such thing as a perfect kid... but a very good kid nonetheless.
And yes, I do feel even guiltier. Thanx for asking.
I'm really looking forward to JD coming up next week... it'll be fun. I'll probably get to see a lot more of Tyler then too.
I think that I'll go to bed now, and put this up later tonight...
21:04...
But I still didn't feel like doing anything. No ambition. And Karen seems to have none, either. We were trying to figger out what to have for supper, and decided against it by default. Didn't feel like going out, didn't feel like having pizza delivered, definitely didn't feel like fixing anything...
So, when in doubt, go with breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast. Easy, fast, good. Cleanup done in 3 minutes, too.
And... the jackasses are out with the fireworx already. Firecrackers, at least, although I've heard some aerials going off too. Aerials? I'll bet that the spellchecker doesn't like that one... nope, it didn't... I spelled it "arial" though... I like that better, but I didn't add it to the dictionary, since it's probably wrong.
And it doesn't like "spellchecker" either... it wants it to be either sepulcher or two words.
Spellcheckers are wonderful, but... I should use a grammar corrector too, but I've never seen a really good one.
What I really need is a brain wave translator that incorperates a grammar-checker and a spellchecker and a thought-corrector. No. I know that you're thinking it, but please don't write me and tell me what you're thinking... it could get to be a bloody battle, and we don't want that here, do we?
Enough.
Got a little sleep. It did quit raining, too.
