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.

Those were some of the best promo pics I have seen! I am loving the look. They all looked terrific!

Your son is so adorable and hilarious! One of these days I've got to meet him. ; )
He does have his moments! Yes, at some point I am sure he will be tagging along with me to some excursion.

And how horrid about the rent-a-doc.
Yes, and he is back this weekend. If at all possible, I will have to work it out so that I am not in the ER with him. That may not always be an option but I think this weekend it will work out. If he is that volatile, it's only a matter of time before he hangs himself.
