    @Adamcourt - So what do you do that keeps you up working nights?

    Don't mind me @adamcourt I'm just picky. And cranky. I want a nap, a second cup of coffee with maybe some hazelnut creamer that I KNOW wont fit in with my calorie goals and I do NOT wanna do my rounds today OR the stupid weekly phone test... :angry:

    In all fairness, she does work two jobs. She works her night job and then acts as the family gopher during the day. :-) Lilaclovebird - I think your uncle should get his own beer. I'll cut your dad some slack since he is working with the government to get his license, but I'm not going to cut your uncle any slack. :wink:

    Ugh, I used to hate phone checks...but that had a lot to do with working at a huge property (500 units) and a long spiel we had to give every time we answered the phone.

    As far as getting ready, I can usually be out the door in 30 or less, perfectly polished, but I have to admit it's getting to be a longer and longer process the older I get...

    Wow! Not a good night for cats. At least we don't have to let them suffer but they are really taking it on the chin tonight. Renal failure, Saddle Thrombus and Liver Failure. If we are keeping score it's like dogs 15 and cats 0.

    Just like anything it becomes normal after doing it for a long enough time ! I don't mind the 6-6 plus I have a 10minute drive home so it works out good if I'm dead on my feet I can pour myself in to bed pretty quickly right after my shift and be up by noon good to go :wink:

    @sufferlandrian If I become a doctor, can I come live and work with you until I can get my own place? :wink:
    ETA: I'll pay rent! And I clean, cook, and I'm a designated driver!

    @sufferlandrian Thanks. :grin:

    My mom just came back from Dallas on Friday so she can be the gopher. Now it's just a matter of going to sleep when I'm supposed to because I keep wanting to stay up. I'm afraid I'll miss something while I'm sleeping. But I know on my days off(I only get one this week but whatev), I'll be totally available and ready to help my mom with all her projects she wants done.

    My mom realized that she had spent almost as much time with cousin/aunt Sheri in Dallas as she has at home! That's damn near a year! So she put her foot down and said she had to come home and I'm so glad she did because we can actually EAT in the DINING ROOM NOW! :astonished:

    Next up is painting my Uncle's room and then it will be the Laundry room, all the bathrooms, and then my parent's room. Followed by my dad's office. :blush:

    Welcome Adam! :smile:

    @Frankie and Jennifer - I agree. Being late for work really bites! At least I get to wear scrubs and I'm a guy. I cut my hair in a flat top and I can be out of bed and in to work in 30 minutes or less. :smile:

    I wish I was out the door that fast. I don't wear make-up to work and my hair is usually up too. it's get annoying when it's been hanging in my face for 12hrs.

    @adamcourt welcome!!
    @IrishMiner76 Straight nights, 530p-530a. 2-3-2

    @lilaclovebird I LOVE our world domination shirts!!!!!

    It's that time of night when I wish I could shoot the monsters via an IV line.
