im in serious need of a vacation. atleast today is my Friday and its supposed to be in the 60's/70's and sunny the next 2 days....too early in the year for a day at the beach??0

Back for the start of my week...ugg. There is light at the end of the tunnel though. I'm off Mar 25th-Apr 4th. :-D0
-
My long just started too.
And I agree, never too early for the beach. The weather is awesome my way too.0 -
Okay, listening to the scanner and I gotta say 4D1 needs to learn to ANSWER when dispatch is checking your status!
I can HEAR her getting panicked after the 4th call. Jeebus!
They already did a radio check with you earlier tonight. Get your smurf together! COMMUNICATE DUDE!
I just wanna punch you in the face.
/end rant
Moral: Don't stress your dispatcher. We've had enough craziness the last two nights. We ALL(even security at MD Anderson) would like to know that you are code 4. K thanks.

Night shifter here. Hate eating on nights though and always feel like I've got a hangover the next day. Heads on upside down ha ha0

So I don't feel like death anymore. But took the night off to give my barking cough a chance to calm the eff down and it has. Should be back in the seat tomorrow night.
Welcome back to the darkside @hamptontom0 -
Welcome back @hamptontom !
I worked day shift for 4 hours last week. That smurf is for the BIRDS! I do not see WHY everyone else is clamoring for day shift, I think it blows.
Update on me. Sorry if it's TMI.
Since last Friday I have been experiencing some breast pain and I kind of ignored it until Tuesday, when it got worse, and scheduled a doctor appointment for Thursday afternoon. Nothing conclusive from the initial exam, but given my history, my doctor wants me to schedule an ultrasound, soon. I should know more next week.
The pain has lessened but it is still there and is no longer a sharp zinging pain from my armpit, across the underside of my breast to my nipple. Now, it is just a heavy soreness and a slight burning sensation in my nipple.
It was initially only when I leaned forward or bent over and now it's almost constant, especially when I sit down. The "annoyance", as I call it, is in both breasts, but mostly in my left and I have a cyst she wants images of in my right breast.
I am pretty sure it's nothing, but I'm hoping it's like a torn ligament or something that requires surgery so I could be like "Hey, while you're in there, make 'em smaller so this doesn't happen again. "
No, I'm not pregnant and I didn't THINK I was worried or stressed until my doctor kept pushing the ultrasound on me.
After the appointment I made it to my car, called my mom, totally calm. I made it to the main highway to get me home and had to pull over because I was hyperventilating and crying. I managed to calm down after a bit and stopped to see a friend I haven't seen in a long time and talked for about an hour. Then I went home and told my dad and my uncle.
I still don't think it's anything serious, but the worry is obviously still kind of there(as noted by my tearing up as I type this).
I'm frustrated right now because the imaging place I need to go to wants me to fax paperwork to them and I don't have a functioning fax. So I'm going in person on Monday just to MAKE an appointment for hopefully Wednesday or Thursday morning and give them copies of the paperwork.
The appointment HAS to be in the morning because I'm pretty sure Gerwick (MagicThyroidPill/Migraine girl) is going to call in sick again like she did this past week. I hate that she pulls this ***** RIGHT when I start getting friendlier with her. I'm hoping we're giving her enough rope to hang herself with but with FMLA it makes things fuzzy.
SSP left on the 10th for a road trip to New York and will be out until 21st and has been texting me constantly to ask 'how I'm feeling'. It's sweet but it's also starting to get a LITTLE annoying. I'm humoring him though because he is showing that he cares and there's basically nothing else he can do right now.0 -

welcome to the circus
What?! Was that some sort of shot at my Chimps, bro? Because some of them ARE from the circus and they were VERY MISTREATED!
Note: I'm just *kitten* with you.
Although, we DO have a retired circus chimp and many former lab subjects that were mistreated.0 -

bahahahaha!! But boo for the mistreated ones. People suck.
Sorry to hear about the boob scare. I hope they find nothing and it is just some pulled muscles. I had a boob scare myself about 18 months ago. No fun at all.0 -

I think I'm more stressed about just making the damn appointment. I have no idea when I can schedule it because my *kitten* coworkers keep calling in sick. I've been here for another unscheduled, surprise 12 hour shift. I'm running on 4 hours of sleep because my lieutenant woke me up to let me know I was getting 'voluntold' to work it.0 -

So those that live in a area that does the spring forward time thing that happens today, how does that affect you with working nights at your job? I luckily still get credited 8hrs even though I only was here for 7. They do get me back later in the year during the Fall when time goes back 1 hr in which I work 9 hrs but get paid for 8 hrs.0

I have to stay an extra hour to get paid for my full 12...I'm unsure if this is actually optional or not...
And when we Fall back, we stay until relief shows up at 7am and get paid for 8 hours.
Basically, tonight/this morning, we only HAVE to stay until our relief shows up at 7am. If we want our full 8 hours worth of pay, we have to stay until 8am.
When we fall back, we HAVE to stay until our relief shows up at 7am, and we get paid for 8 hours.....
This time travel stuff is screwy.0 -

We worked 11 and will get paid for 12. In the fall if we have to work it, we'll work 13 and get paid for 12. Our relief comes in the same time regardless.0 -
Hey everyone! I work 2nd shift and sometimes 3rd if my workers call in...how's everyone doing?0

Yes it does. Please don't share.
For my lunch today, my dad made me this AMAZING Chicken Salad. Let's start with, he never makes my lunch, I always make it myself, so that was SUPER nice of him.
He said he felt sorry for me having to work so much.
And I'm eating it right now and it is the MOST DELICIOUS EFFING THING I'VE EVER EATEN IN MAH WHOLE LIFE!

Very nice! I'm sitting here eating whatever bland food I can find in the kitchen. The tortillas are gone so I guess the saltines are next.0
