The official nightshift thread....

Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. Wait, I would have needed to go to bed first.

By the way. Mom and the puppies did great.

I'll be at work too yay!

I probably shouldn't be sitting up watching Carnival Eats at 0130. Earlier, he showed a slice of frozen cheesecake, dipped in chocolate, then rolled in bacon bits. If you've never tried chocolate dipped bacon, you don't know what you're missing!!!!

Just same ol' same old for me. Couple of more nights until I get a short mini vacation. I'll be off work for 7 days!!

i'm pulling out of the parking lot at midnight to drive to Sandusky, OH for a show...so I'll be up, but not exactly accessible. kinda like the rest of my life.

Sandusky use to be in my neck of the woods. I haven't been to Cedar Point in probably 14 years.

Woohoo!

I feel like I've been gone forever.

So, my dad was in the hospital from Monday night until Friday(today). He went to the ER with a temp of 105.3 degrees Fahrenheit. I tried putting my foot down and get him and my mom out the door when he hit 104, but what do I know, I'm just the daughter... :grumble:

Anyway, he's out now and on a super antibiotic pill and stuff to go with his IV antibiotics that he had.
I guess it started out as a UTI on Thursday, you know, the painful urination, feeling like you need to go when you don't, and being in/out of the bathroom all the time. Anyway, he didn't tell my mom anything until he developed a fever on Saturday that progressively got worse and worse until hospital. He never told her about the painful urination or the pain in his back. By that point it had gone up through his kidneys and was a blood infection.

Bottom line: If you even THINK you have a UTI, go to the doctor and get a full course of antibiotics. Don't be like my dad, unless you really LIKE spending a week in the hospital....

I missed work on Tuesday because they just couldn't keep his temp down and I was TERRIFIED of losing my dad at that point. So, I requested that I please be able to go to the hospital.
They basically called me an idiot without saying the words. Told me I didn't have to DRIVE into the office and I could have just called. They trust me and know I wouldn't call out unless it was something REALLY bad and beyond my control.

After I saw him Tuesday night, he was doing fine. He was feeling cold(fever related) but he was okay. I spent all day Wednesday with him and then spent Wednesday night hanging out with SSP because he thought I could use a friendly distraction. He was right, but I ate WAY too much.

My bridesmaid/maid of honor dress arrived today and it fits PERFECTLY and even though I initially didn't like it, it's growing on me. Definitely throwing into reality that my sister is actually getting married.

@lilaclovebird I'm glad he's feeling better tho!

And can I just compliment the new profile picture! Hello, gun show!!! Way to go!!!

Thanks.

When Leanna took the photo a guy at the gym walking by said he 'didn't know a girl could look so manly'
I said "Thank you. You could too, if you lifted heavier weights."
Leanna scolded me and said it wasn't very nice but NEITHER WAS HIS COMMENT!
Besides, he shouldn't let his envy of my biceps be an excuse to make stupid comments.

I LOVE how I look and I LOVE what lifting has done for my body. I'm not going to stop.
Well... except I got a UTI and my doctor ordered me to stop on Thursday but she said I could 'resume strenuous exercise on Saturday!'

Welp, no one else should have to worry about dealing with any nutjobs tonight, I'm pretty sure they're all right here where I'm working...

@Jennifer_417 Good! Because I don't want any!
Good luck though.

@lilaclovebird Only haters make snide comments like that. I think your response was perfect

My fitbit has been slow to sync up for about a week but it eventually catches up. As for the nutjobs, we've had a few around here too so I feel your pain.

Haha thanks. Glad you and your dad are feeling better! Sorry you ran into a douche at the gym, though. I will never understand why people think it's ok to make comments like that. I'd be willing to bet he was jealous.

I agree. Some people just are jealous. I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication at the gym and I for one think you look great! Glad you and your dad are better as well.

LOL. I can relate to that. Maybe in the morning going to bed for a couple hours will be a better idea.

Ugh. Can't I just stay in bed and sleep at night like a normal person, instead of getting ready for work?

I realize it's just because I'm in a bad mood, but I feel like every guest that I've had to deal with has just been unreasonably annoying.

I was like that this morning. I finally had to take a sanity break so I didn't start yelling at stupid things clients do unintentionally.

Wow. This thread has been really slow lately.
