Since no one replied to my roll call, I'm assuming this journal is rarely read by anyone and I'm going to just use my Blurty one from now on. If anyone needs the link to that one, just let me know but I'm tired of all the copying and pasting and the fact that many times when I try to post&publish here, my shit just doesn't show up for awhile.

Stalker roll call

Why are Emergency Rooms so cold?
Last night (Sunday) I worked the overnight shift again. Not a bad shift 10PM - 6AM. I went to bed about 9:30 and got up at 5:00. As I was having a nice IM convo with Jennifer, I got a call from the Group Home asking if I was available to go up to the hospital to stay with one of the residents because she had flipped out at the Home and needed a psych evaluation. There was only one staff member on at the Home so she couldn't go. I said "sure" and off I went. This was around 7:00 mind you. We didn't leave the hospital until 2:30! Partly because they're just really slow at this hospital and partly because the resident was so unco-operative that they kind of put her on the bottom of the priority list. Not that that punished her. She just went to sleep [sigh]. I, on the other hand, sat in an uncomfortable chair and froze my ass off! Okay, maybe not my ass, but definitely my toes. My feet were so fucking cold I could barely stand it. They finally released her into my care and I brought her back to the Home.

Upside? I got another 8 hours of work that I wasn't expecting this week and was smart enough to bring a book so am getting paid for reading.
