Hi, How are you, etc.

Tee hee hee. I stole my subject line from Dr Kelso on Scrubs.

What can I say? The weekend was actually pretty good except for major drama on Saturday night with rent-a-doc, Dr. Pissy, who got mad about something on the previous shift and decided that he wasn't going to be happy till he had his pound of flesh, namely mine. Ah, no...so not going to happen. My first tactic was to go on about my work and hope he got over his little tantrum as all children eventually have the sense to do. (Sense being the operative term) I could have stated, "the sky is blue" and that would have induced continued screaming and yelling like a two year old. My next tactic was to take a few moments for meditation (read count to ten) and go back in. My coworker had already seen the writing on the wall and was very effectively hiding in plain site. Being the RN, I didn't have that luxury and, besides, he had already acquired his target. (I knew I shouldn't have worn those bulls-eye scrubs but my ones with the knife in the back were dirty!) Then he wanted a nurse for every patient. (Hello? From what planet did you arrive today?) I told him that was not an option...imagine the wait times if I dealt with one patient and one patient only from start to finish? In the ER!! Absurdity!  (Oh, so sorry that you need a little CPR....maybe I can work you in)Then he asked a question where I did not quite understand his intention and when I asked him to clarify, he went off the deep end. Seems that I was purposely making an issue regarding his foreign accent and that I was "Rude and insubordinate". And that was the proverbial straw. Buttons pushed as intended. I told him that I had never been talked to in that manner and I wasn't going to start now and I left to call my supervisor. He followed me railing all the way. You know it is bad when your patients feel sorry for you...LOL! Needless to say, if my supervisor has her way, he won't be back. All I know is that I sure won't work with him again! We nurses may switch off and take turns working with the more irritating and idiotic docs but I think this is the first time I have ever flat out refused to work with someone not to mention having ever been called, "rude and insubordinate."

Brandon's latest still has me chuckling. We were driving down the road and he was talking about all the things I do for him because I love him and he wondered what he did for me. So, I started naming things like, "you sometimes make me cup of coffee when I don't want to get up and get it and you pretty much always do what I ask you to do." Then he says, "and I pay the pizza delivery guy when he comes." and I say, " because I am sitting around in my comfy clothes looking like crap and I don't want to answer the door." Then he says, "Except you don't look like crap..."

At this point I am thinking, "awwwwwwwww....how sweet" when I should have known better because a beat later he finishes his sentence with, ".......because crap is round and brown." ROFL!! Now, at this age, I have to wonder. Was he being overly literal or just being funny. I'm leaning toward just being funny.

You have such a sweet kid. Even the whole crap comment has me smiling. I think I'll need those knife in the back scrubs in dealing with Danielle. She's 'this' close to starting her cycle. She may have started it already. Moody doesn't even begin to cover it.

Pardon whilst I LMAO at your work rant. I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time. Reading your account however was truly giggle worthy. The way you share your work could make for a very funny book. I read a book written by a flight attendant last fall. You are twice as funny and look at the material you have?

So glad to hear from you. Maybe we could call this week?

Brandon does have his moments..

Poor Danielle with the monthly thing....Poor You as well. Poor Shawn with the possibility of three menstruating females in the house!!! (A great big hug to all of ya's)

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

Speaking on hormonal...... No it wasn't funny and I was hormonal and in my frustration shed a few tears after all was said and done. Something that I HATE doing, you know. A few days out, though, I can turn it into something funny and laugh about it. You are right, though, I do have lots of material. All of us at one point or another has made the comment, "we could write a book!". Putting it all together would be the difficult part, though.

It would be nice to chat sometime this week! I am free most evenings except Wednesday and then I am free after church.

I'm not sure what K's schedule is like. Maybe give her a ring and try for a three way? I know she has choir on Thursday, not sure when she'll be home.
