  1. Howard's my guy, and still in love!!

    Slept from two to ten, solid. No one woke me at 2:10 to take blood. No one woke me at three to add a new drip or two to the IV. No one woke me at four to find a new IV site because the old one shut down and/or they needed two IV sites at all times. No one woke me at four to take vital signs. No one woke me at 4:30 to take blood. No one woke me at five to weigh me. No one woke me at six to give me a heparin shot. No one woke me at seven to introduce themselves and ask if I wanted a bath or a change of linen. No one woke me at eight to give me a vitamin B1 pill, four vitamin D pills, and half a blood pressure pill. No one woke me at 8:30 to offer me puree cream of wheat, puree scrambled eggs and jello. No one woke me at nine to ask me the last time I had a bowel movement. No one woke me a nine thirty to ask me if I had a history of high blood pressure. No one woke me at nine forty five to ask me what I felt like when I decided to come in to ER.

  3. Puddle, if there was any doubt in my mind over whether I want to spend time in hospital, you dispelled it.

  4. Lol! If it *fixes* what's wrong, it'll have been worth it. There's likely an operation in my near future, so I'd better gear up on *good attitude* eh?

    Hi y'all. I just opened listeners email regarding our puddle's recent scare. Unfortunately I only check that account every week or so, so I'm late to the ...party?

    puddle, I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Get that good attitude in gear for whatever awaits.

    Take care friends. Back to the salt mine for me.

  10. It's so amazing to be home on a Tuesday!
    The Library is closed until tomorrow because of the Library Conference
    and I get paid for being home! Ha!

  11. Well, can hardly do better than that, ma fren! Glad for you.

  12. Yum! May I have a refill?

  13. Ya can't beat getting paid.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yes, getting paid is great. The frustrating part about my job is that the guy who does the checks can't seem to keep track of when one is due. They're almost $50,000 behind at the moment. If we had even a third of that in hand we could get a permanently installed backup power generator and wouldn't have to worry about freezing if the power goes out this winter.

  15. Yikes, Bill. I'm so sorry he's lackadaisical about paying you. Can't you light a fire under him?

  16. Late post: My client contact tells me that they really want to get rid of this guy, but they can't seem to find anybody better. As he says, with the economy what it is you'd think there would be good people looking for jobs, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

  17. Eventually the way that gets fixed is to stop services until they pay you. There MUST be someone who has supervision over the guy who writes the checks, who would not want to lose your work.

  18. I do get paid about 2/3 of the time. Plus, the job is interesting -- that's a big part of the reason I'm working. And finally, the guy who values my services doesn't have supervisory authority over the guy who writes the checks. In fact, sometimes HE doesn't get paid when he should.
