    Right peeps...I am back......

    Not sure how to take all the newbies..........is that a good thing....more people to confuse.....or is it a sign that while I am away people flock.......lol........Fk it its my home and I am staying.......;)

    Firstly.....why do we not get any drunk women asking to be taken advantage of.......we need more equality in this group going forward......

    Been a great Holiday........Been to Portugal, Vilamoura......fantastic spot with the main Algarve Marina 10 minutes from my door....got pissed as a fart my first day.....feel asleep in the sun the second day for 3 hrs.....got burnt to fk.......threw up the next 2 days.........drink stayed down...but not food.....so no harm done.......

    Mojito's have Lime and Mint in so I was getting my 5 a day in many times over still......

    Welcome back. And no you cant have drunken women asking to be taken advantage of....then it would just be normal society. Besides, we didnt take him up on the offer so far. :wink:

    On a legit note......that rum and coke......or ya know if one of ya'll wants to send some crown, jack, so co, or even fire ball whiskey my way for one of my non-work and non-pager duty nights.....that would be stellar.

    @fatjon73 The only thing I don't particularly care for is your excessive use of ellipses(.....). Other than that you seem okay.

    Just had a BIG storm roll in and then back out. LOTS of alarms going off, power failure in some areas. I'm pretty sure we lost a couple of experiments in lab 4. :disappointed:

    I'm feeling job burnout! No matter how many days off I take, I am apathetic towards my work. I hate feeling this way

    @MadDogManor - I hear you! I have been battling that all week. I'm finally starting to come around. I had a couple of very good clients this weekend and that helps a lot. The eleven puppies didn't hurt. :smile: Well, it has been a long weekend shift and I'm going home. Catch you guys next time. :sleeping:

    It sucks, I'll agree as well. I have been feeling it, I don't want to even go to work anymore (and I have a lot more time to go!), and it makes for not a pleasant experience for everyone. I get extremely crankty once the first thing goes wrong, and I wasn't always like this, so I know it's part burnout. Other than switching jobs which ain't exactly easy, I'm working on finding a way to fix, and hope you do too.

    Thank goodness in my work, burnout can sometimes be resolved by success on a very difficult case. Unfortunately, those are kind of spread out these days.

    I wish I could post the X-Rays for this dog. The owner says he never eats anything but it looks like he ate the whole dead dear off the side of the road. There are bone fragments EVERYWHERE! I think I can get them to pass.

    Eww. One of our beagles hunts and eats voles from the backyard. I cannot stop him, even on his leash he's too quick.

    There may be a move to another part of the country in our future. But I cannot stomach the thought of finding another job in another laboratory, doing the exact same shite over and over again, without any recognition or thanks whatsoever.

    I get two days off after this shift! TWO WHOLE DAYS! *dances*

    When I get home I am going to go shopping with my dad and then PASS OUT!
    Weather has been wonky here lately. Cold, wet, rainy. Not at ALL like the normal Texas I know...

    @Imback257 6 DAYS?! I'm jealous. :grumble:
    Actually, I don't think I would know what to do with myself with 6 days off. Anymore than 2 and I get anxious.

    Trust me, I know how you feel. First time I've had more then 2 days off in years..I done what I'll do with myself but I won't mind figuring it out. Lol. @lilaclovebird

    Imback257 - I'm so jealous, 6 days off sounds awesome! Have fun finding stuff to do lol.

    suffer - I've thought about going back to school. Advancement in medical laboratory science above a bachelors is practically a joke and not necessary at all to do the work. Unless I went into administration, which makes me gag just to think about. Maybe PA, due to my many years of Navy Corpsman experience and subsequent education and training. But again, the thought of ANY patient contact makes me want to gag. I think I need a completely new career!! The hunt continues....

    So...yesterday was my 'rest day'. WOOO! But eating like it was a rest day was a problem.

    When I got home, I ate everything. The cheese, the tortillas, hot dogs, chili, MORE cheese. Then I became SO ITCHY because I'm not supposed to eat the cheese... I feel horrible and I can't wait to go home and workout. :cry:

    Oh, I'm so sorry you can't eat cheese! That is one food that I can't keep stocked quick enough at MadDogManor!!

    I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS), and I work in a 300-bed hospital laboratory, as a "generalist": hematology, chemistry, urinalysis, coagulation, serology/microbiology, and blood bank. I process and analyze human bodily fluids and tissues, as well as maintain, troubleshoot and QC the analyzers used to test the sample (among other administrative and phone call duties, too). One lab I worked at a few years ago processed dog samples for pre-transfusion purposes, too.

    @MadDogManor Woah....nice resume. I know the facility I work at for MD Anderson appreciates their employees but the only lab stuff we do is typically Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM. Unless one of the Chimps kills a possum/racoon/stray cat. Then we have someone do a necropsy of the dead animal to make sure it has no diseases to affect the Chimp.

    I hate that I can't have cheese. I LOVE cheese. I'm not sure if I can have non-cow cheeses yet. But I was told to generally avoid dairy if I don't like being itchy.

    Yup... I totally asked for it.

    So, I hear we have some 911 dispatchers...I would guess none of them work in Balitmore, MD because they would be WAY too busy to comment/be on this thread.
