    Back on for another 62 hours shift. Not looking forward to starting a shift with a sore throat.

    I hear you on that one. It was all I could do to bring myself to work. If I was single, I might have quit.

    So it's come to this. Mixing 5 hour energy drinks with Monster energy drinks. Now if only they would last five hours. :smile:

    With that mix, the toilet would be full of 'power-puke', plain old coffee is my power drink of choice lol.

    What do you do for night work, @stephaniepethtorres? Or just a non sleeper? :)

    Oi, we're a batch, aren't we? Doing 4 12s in a row every week is wearing me the frak out, but I have a lot of other stuff going on, too, sooo...I have 7% of an excuse?

    I'll take your 7% and raise you 13. Heading off to work in a couple hours (but at least I am high enough in the company hierarchy to get the 8's instead of the 12's bwahahaha). Snowing AGAIN.

    A bit slushy on my commute in. I wish businesses would clear their sidewalks. I have one strip on a busy road that none of the businesses have cleared the walks. Half of them plowed their parking lots onto the sidewalk. How can there be so much slush when the temp is 25 degrees F. ? Hope the commute home isn't as bad.

    I don't mind 12s anymore, I enjoy having days off in the middle of the week. I also like having a 3 day weekend every other weekend.

    I’ll be happy when I can go back to four 14 hour shifts and have the rest of the week off. :smile: Soon. New vet arrives at the end of May.

    Well, seems like lots of time yet before bikini season here... I might join you in 2026, Jenn.
    Here's the snow pack after several days of melt & rain (refreezing at night).
    Central courtyard of the University College (part of my patrol) - care for a picnic?

    Wow! That's impressive. We have 40 mph winds right now with snow starting to fall. I can't tell if that wind will take all the snow away? or if the wind will settle and the new snow will accumulate. We went from 51 to 18 degrees in three hours.
