    Weird nights the last couple. Glad tonight will be my last for the week. Guy comes in insisting we call his regular vet. My tech just told him, "Would you go to the ER and expect them to call your regular physician?" He still insisted and she finally just told him it was me or he could go find his regular vets house and get him out of bed. I'm sure he would have enjoyed that. The guy finally gave in and let me see the dog.

    Went out on the Fat Tire bike today. Took a nap before coming to work. The alarm went off and I shut it off and fell right back to sleep. Thank heavens for a wife that was watching out for me and had my dinner packed and ready to go and made sure I was up in time for work.

    My work week is almost done. I'm home tonight; work Wednesday and Thursday night and that's it till Monday. So ready for the weekend. I think it's the first in a couple months where we have no major plans. I managed to get the lawn mowed Monday afternoon and it rained all day today. Hopefully we can tackle the front flower bed this weekend. They have more grass than some parts of my yard :s

    i almost never have to set an alarm, as i usually work backwards...go to sleep soon after coming home from work, and generally wake up well in advance of having to come in - but I'm cramming a ton of stuff into the next couple of days, so I'm doin' the alarm this week. and yeah - not one of my favorite feelings.

    runs in tandem with one of only a couple of reoccurring dreams that have plagued me my whole life...i used to work at my hometown radio station in high school, and now and then i'll have dreams where a song is about to end, and i'm searching frantically for something to play coming out of the fade and there are no records anywhere in the booth to be found.

    haven't had that dream in ages...but i probably just jinxed myself.

    I think that is one of my more anxiety producing moments, when I sleep through my alarm...doesn't happen often but when it does, eeks.

    Same here. I've woken up in a panic thinking I missed it when in realty, I have like an hour more to sleep. But I've slept thru an alarm more than once.

    I've had that dream where it's final exams in school and as I'm heading in to the exam room, it's empty. The janitor then tells me exams were yesterday. I haven't had that one in awhile but like Hampton, I just jinxed myself. :smile:

    Friday meh. It's my Tuesday of the work week but to be fair, I look toward Sat and Sun since it's really quiet around my workplace.

    Really slow night. Didn't bring my exercise gear so maybe I'll catch a moving on TV.

    Opened my mouth too soon. The pets started pouring in as soon as I posted the last post. Not a good night for pets. At least so far it looks like they will all live.

    Wow! That's bad. At least everyone on the way here was on the correct side of the road. Glad you made it to work in one piece.

    Back at it. It's been a long day and the night is only beginning. We've been calling a client all day trying to get him to come pick up his cat. He calls tonight and says, "I was just looking for an update on my cat." Either give us a correct phone number or don't expect updates.

    I hope all the pets live! They're in good hands :)

    Did a 2.4 mile hike today. 5 miles on par for Sunday :+1:

    I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    No smurf! I mean REALLY?!



    Expecting some hellacious weather from Sunday morning - Tuesday. Flash flood watch 10am Sun-10am Tues.
    Should be all kinds of fun. Allegedly, we're supposed to get a week's worth of rain in a day! :scream:

    Also, WLALW(World Laboratory Animal Liberation Week) has begun again! So extra patrols, extra calls, and a BUNCH of overtime for the officers and NONE for me. I wont complain though. I will be right where I need to be to afford all of my dental work after this pay check.

    Glad I don't have to deal with WLALW anymore. I'm glad I don't deal with AALAC anymore either. Because the hospital on one of the bases I worked at had Ferrets to teach residents to intubate children, we had to watch for ALF and PETA on liberation week.

    I LOVE ferrets.

    One of my little fuzzies is turning 6 in August. She's an old lady. She also has no known/major health issues thus far which is GREAT! She still plays like a young kit sometimes, for about 30 minutes, and then curls up somewhere for a 2 hour nap. :smile:

    ETA: While I love ferrets, and dislike the idea of using them for intubation practice, I'd rather someone get it wrong on a ferret than on someone's child.
    It's a trade off and it sucks sometimes, but it is definitely necessary.

    At least they are survival procedures. That's better than most research animals get. We kept these guys alive for as long as they were healthy.
