5 Days a Week
Here is to all of you people who I like to call "normal work people. . . " To thoes people who go to work 5 days a week every week. . . To thoes who still figure out how to get to the doctor, bank, and other places that are only open during your working hours. I just don't know how you do it. You see, my whole adult life I have been in nursing at some level or another. I have never worked 5 days a week. Once I started a job working 4 days a week and it about killed me, so I went to my boss and asked to go back to nursing hours. Normal nursing hours for all thoes who don't know are . . . 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week. A lot of people ask me "How do you work 12 hours? Don't you get tired?" The way I see it is that I am already there what's another 4 hours going to hurt. Sure when I first started it, I had a couple of weeks before I got used to it, but now 12 hours flys by (especially being a nurse).
The reason I bring all this up is because this week I have worked the last 4 days and I am wiped out. I will say how excited I am about my new job. The people are fun to work with and I am glad to be back on the floor and not in the procdure area. You get to use a wider range of nursing skills on the floor.
I also wanted to say a belated Happy Birthday to Shari!!! I am glad that you got to go skiing as your present. I like your idea of making that your birthday present every year, I know I would.
