Not a bad day, work-wise, or otherwise either. I was drivin' the console today, so my legs got a break anyway.

I'm on call this weekend, so I'll have a coupla 12-hours days Saturday and Sunday... I hope. I really like time-and-a-half, especially right before xmas. And working on call usually isn't really all that bad, you have the patients spaced out pretty well.

Well, call does get bad if you get called in when you want to be sleeping, of course. But I am of two minds about that... when I get called in on third shift, I get to see all of my old third shift buddies, and that's really nice. Yeah, I still miss most of them rascals.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm gonna be taking the CT Registry in two weeks, and I'm kinda getting worried about it. I finally got some study materials, and there's a lot of stuff that I don't know... but the materials that I got were pretty old, and I don't know how pertinent they are now.

I've noticed that my entries are a lot shorter lately. I will soon no longer be able to hold my tongue.

An old smoking buddy came to me today, wanting words of encouragement for her latest smoking cessation endeavor... I really like it when people trust me in matters like that. Unfortunately, I have no magic words, and indeed, I'm still mystified at my own success.

And speaking of things like that... JD is still not smoking! I can't remember if I'd mentioned that. I had not brought it up the last few times that I'd talked with him, figgering that if he didn't mention it, it was because he'd given up on it. I need to have more faith, obviously!

Karen called me about 14:30, and we agreed to go to the Y when I got home... but we didn't. We are slackers, fat-ass slackers.

I'm going in at 07:00 in the AM, so I need to get to bed now....


Thanx for being here!
