Daily Nilknarf Haiku

Ephemeral devices fail;
scant memory does not suffice
All is dust, dust, mud.

Before I forget yet again, go read JD's entry for the 24th of April. It's a very good one, and of course I agree completely. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree, heh.

Crummy night's sleep, runnin'-my-butt-off day at work. Although we did have some breaks today, and I was in the scan room, doing what I like best (most of the time).

Cooler here today, yesterday got up to about 85°F and the south wind was a-howlin'! I think that the temperature had something to do with my #1 computer (thunder) failing, 'cause it's kinda all right tonight. Also has some software problems, though, MS stuff not working right, mostly office. Might have something to do with the new software that I installed for the PDA, though. It wanted me to install outlook 2002, so I did, and it complained that it had already been installed, BRRRRR! Try again. Well, I did install it on the laptop, dammit, and crap like this is why people hate MS. And it's messed up other stuff too, of course.

But Zephyr is up and running just fine, no problems there. In fact, I'm using it right now, 'cause I couldn't get my editing program to work on Thunder either. And on Zephyr, I get to use my regular cirque keyboard, not a funky standard one.

I think that my attitude is somewhat better today, and I'm not really sure why that might be, maybe just writing about it yesterday.

However... I'm on call tonight. And... the regular night tech called in sick, she does CTs. The tech who's filling in for her also does CTs, but she's rather limited in what she can do, and she's only going to be there until 03:00. So I need to get to bed early tonight so that I'll at least have *some* sleep.

And tomorrow's schedule is already overbooked in at least three places, those are ones that I authorized, and I'm not sure if anyone else added anything to that number.

And... I'm on call this weekend, until 16:00 on Sunday. Planning on sleeping there again, that seems to work out best for me.

Therefore... no entries, probably, until Sunday evening. Yeah, you need to be on the reminder list! 'Cause if I get a chance to post before then, I will. And if you're not on the list, you won't know about it, and that would make you sad, and I hate to see people being sad over something that could be so easily resolved..

Right now? My back, legs and feet hurt, and I can't get walgreens.com to renew some of my prescriptions and to complain about them giving me 30 pills in a bottle clearly marked 60 pills.

Dammit, you just gotta watch everyone all of the time, don'tcha?


Thanx for being here!
