I finally got a full night's sleep! I woke up with the alarm and immediately got up, ready to face the day. And I'm glad that I had the energy for this day... it was the roughest that we've had for a while. For one thing, the computer system went down... the RIS system, the one that kinda feeds actual patient info to the other systems so that we can do our work. And it still wasn't fully up yet when I left at 17:40. So I thought about making a list tonight about the things that I regularly bitch about, and then only do like one a week or something like that. I do have some pretty consistent ones... my back, my fatigue, how poorly I sleep, how hard I work... But no. Without those things, there probably wouldn't *be* a daily journal, and then what would I do? There are only just so many things that I can say about religion and politics, especially when I never really know what I'm talking about anyway. Well. Okay, so I got off work an hour late, and then I took Karen out to the New China Inn to eat. I may have mentioned that I really like that place, and I finally figgered out why: I don't have to wait for someone to bring my food, I can get it as soon as I get seated... or rather, get a place to sit, I seldom sit down before I go to get the first course. My first course is always the same: Egg Drop Soup, boiled shrimp, crab legs wrapped in bacon and cocktail sauce. After that, I usually branch out, but some of my favorites are Gen Tao's chicken and the chicken-on-a-stick. And green beans. And an egg roll. Tonight I branched out and got some yummy beef and broccoli... the broccoli was excellent, the beef so-so. And tonight, for dessert, I had a mixture of chocolate and banana cream puddings. I really shouldn't'a' done that, but it was delicious. And today for lunch I skipped the salad bar, and I had a Monte Cristo sandwich, which was wonderful, and a piece of corn-on-the-cob. Bout 75 G of carbs, which is about what I'm supposed to have, but I seldom do for lunch. Which reminds me... I'm not getting any skinnier, like I'm supposed to. I did lose a coupla pounds last week when Karen was gone, but that's back already, dammit. I lost all of the stuff in my pocketPC today when I turned it off, thinking that would solve a problem that I was having... seeme that there was a lot of stuff in volitile memory that I didn't know about, I need to find out more about the archecture of this thing, heh. I think that I lost all of the data for my BS program, and I certainly lost the program, I need to go find it again and re-load it. In fact, I need to go ahead and give the people some money for it this time, I really like it. Now if I could only remember the name? Ah. GlucoPad, it is, and a fine program, and it's now bought and paid for. And this day has gone on long enough. In the Mail: On the shelf:
