Today was, without a doubt, one of the worst days that I have had since I started CT on days. It was purely a zoo from about 07:30 on. We had a full schedule, and we were a tech short. And then we had stat patients from the floors and from the ICU and from the ER and even some add-on outpatients. We probably had patients on the table 98% of the time from 07:00 until 19:00 tonight when I left. Yep, twelve whole hours. I wasn't running, I was on the console again today, 'cause I was on the Z and the Z person fills in for whoever is gone, and the tech that was gone was supposed to be on the console. So I got to sit. Saved my legs, but not my head. Sitting is close to the phone, dammit, and that thing was ringing off of the hook... everybody wanting to know when their stat patient was going to get done. And slowing down the doing of everybody's patients, thanx for asking, heh. Can't talk and work, y'know. Not that kinda work, anyway. So, not much more to talk about, after twelve hours. 'Cept that Karen and I decided to not go through with the loan that we signed on Friday, and we both feel a lot better about it now. It just didn't seem right, just a bunch of little things adding up. So we need to start that whole process over again, not something that I'm looking forward to, but still... we're wiser now. Well, dammit, I really *hope* that we are, anyway. In the Mail: On the shelf:
