So last night was it. Today a new chapter begins...but of course last night had to end with a strange bang.

So I'm down to one more shift. ONE more shift of work then I'm off for the next two months until school starts. So of course tonight I was visited by the nutty insane all-star team of patients in the ER.

So tonight I signed up for an extra shift. Strange things were destined to happen since tonight the Engineering Dept. decided to shut off the water to the entire hospital to fix a leak. That's right. NO Running water in the Emergency Room. We were given buckets of water to wash our hands with and 55 gallon drums were placed near bathrooms to "flush" the...

So I'm home after a long day of traveling and weekend of partying. I can honestly say that this years Starscape was very weak in terms of the music, except Sander's set, but honestly I don't care. This party has became all about the venue and the people that attend. I'm so glad the Vanessa was able to come. I've been telling her about Starscape...

my nose can't stop dripping.

my throat is dry.

I smell like a F.O.B.

BLAH!

Eh, life is going. Work last night was well, work. It was slow and quiet, very uneventful with nothing exciting or memorable. I spent most of the night reading Newsweek, stocking rooms and talking to the nurses I work with.

I honestly can't wait to move on, I feel as if I'm in this "dead zone" for the next four weeks. I can't really go...

I really have few quims with my job. I love the adreneline rush. The fact that I'm in a field where I'm helping people and not stuck in a cubicle somewhere crunching numbers.

One of the shitty things I don't like about my job is that I work weekends and I'm living a crappy nocturnal life. I'm finding myself unable to sleep before 4am unless...

So after clocking in at work today I was asked to "help out" in an extension area for the ER. This is an area that we place patients before we bring them to their room on the floor or discharge them.
