I went to bed early last night, but i *still* had a bitch of a time getting out of bed this morning. It was so bad that I forgot to kiss Karen goodbye!
Which reminds me of a story. When I worked nights, Karen and I would often go several days without really seeing each other. Once, after a several day separation, I was arriving home just as she was leaving, in fact she was down the block a ways. Lisa was with her, and they were both working at BS/BC at the time. Anyway, when we saw each other, we both pulled over and jumped out of our vehicles and met in the middle of the street for a passionate embrace and kiss... then we got back in our vehicles and went our separate ways. Really impressed Lisa and several passers-by! Today was not a fun day at work... only one fun thing happened. So I'll tell about the fun thing, and just forget the rest. I was the runner today, and I went out to the waiting room to get a patient. I called her name out and she got up and we started walking towards the CT waiting area. As usual, I introduced myself, and she said, "I know, I remember you from last year!" She seemed happy enough about it, so I told her that it was nice to be remembered fondly. She then told me that she had never had anyone else... ever... hit her vein the first time, and I did last year! Well, crap, there's nothing like having to live up to a good reputation. If you hit the vein, you were expected to, and if you miss you're a dog who just had one good day, as far as the patient is concerned. Anyways, long story short, I hit her the first time, but she was really impressed. But it was really hard... and, of course, there probably won't be a next time... not for her and me, anyway. 22:06... On the other hand, maybe part of my problem lately has been that I'm getting too much sleep? I've heard that's possible, though I hardly can give that idea credence... I mean, that's like too much sex, or too much fudge, or too much money, y'know? It just don't happen for regular people like me. Or probably you, either. I had a call on the machine from my job people, they got my paperwork and they'll be calling me! Yes, I am excited, how could you tell??? O'yeah, I went out to Sears tonight after work to get the saw that was on sale... well, they didn't have it so they gave me one the next step up for $30 off, making it the same price. And then I came home and didn't even open it up... OK, *way* past my bedtime!
Karen rented a movie tonight, "Vanilla Sky", and we just finished watching it. Weird, but interesting. However, it has kept me up past my bedtime, dammit.
