I will never work Leap day again

No this is not a cleverly titled Friday lady post.
I am sorry.
But work last night? Was BAD BAD just beyond exhausting bad.
Suck out all my energy bad.
Damage my brain bad.

But I am not going to whine. Instead, I am just going to take a pass on the friday lady, and go nap. I gotta. Maybe, after I get up, I will feel like finding a worthy candidate to post about, but no promises. I am just done in.
I hope you all have a good leap day, though. I am going to go sleep mine away

Now if I could just pull that magic wand out of my ass

the world would be a better place.

Usually I talk about my work crap over on First Do No Harm, but I am too tired to go over there at the moment, so you all are going to have to bear with me.

This is the first full week I am doing three nights in a row. Last night was not picnic-y.
We started off busy and just proceeded to get even busier. In the midst of the busy beginning of the shift, attempting to get report from the tired day shifters wanting to go home, and deal with the supposedly not breathing patients (if you can holler NURSE! then you are breathing, trust me), the old ladies who either want a bed pan or MISSED the bedpan, and the confused little old men who sit up in the bed, and scream they are falling out of it... well, you get the picture
.
In the center of this storm, the phone rings. Family, for one of our sicker denizens of the ICU. Lady has multiple problems, diabetes, a stroke, and chronic pain issues being the ones we are dealing with. Said genius family member proceeds to ask me 100000000000000000 questions regarding her condition. I always ask them when they had their last update. She says "this afternoon from T".
Okay. So, she expected, in a matter of ONE AFTERNOON, that somehow, the staff at my little ICU all got together and collectively healed the Diabetes, the Stroke, and the od on pain meds? WTF? If we could do that, we would all be millionaires!
The phone conversation just got even more ridiculous from there, and covered everything from death, to when they could call tomorrow. I told them anytime before 7 pm, of course.
Okay, going to bed now Maybe, if I wish real hard, that magic wand will fall out, and tonight the ICU will be much more happy.

Name That Movie

I've seen this in a few other blogs floating around the blogsphere, and decided it would be fun to do. So, here are some movies that I like, or rather, quotes from them. How many do you know?



1. "With enough courage, you can do without a reputation."

2. "You know that feeling you get when you get out of a warm bath... well... you make me feel like a bath?"

3. "It's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire."

4. "Get out of my way, son, you're usin' my oxygen"

5. "The city has fallen silent. There is no warmth left in the sun."

6. "You mock my pain."
"Life is pain, highness, anyone who says differently is selling something"

7. "This place has a sign hanging over the urinal that says "Don't eat the big white mint."

8. "Don't be upset. It was a mercy killing. He had a certain naive charm, but no muscle"

9. "I have rid England of her enemies. What do I do, now? Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?"

10. "It's like my Mom says, the weak are always trying to sabotage the strong"

11. "Maybe you can find yourself a nice antique chair to die in."

12. "Oh, this is your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must have been something before electricity."

13. "How an elephant got in my pajamas, I'll never know."

To the Asshat that ran the stopsign

Good things I have good breaks

If you would have put a dent or scratch in my lovely red Veruca, I would have put it into reverse and ran your ass over.
Next time stop your piece of shit truck.
the end.

It works both ways

MM read an article this weekend, a "he said/she said" article about women, and why they seem to always date jerks, (Sometimes referred to as the "bad boys".) Do we want to do that?
My answer, was NO!
but there are so many of them out there, that they are hard to dodge.
Interestingly enough, both the he and the she that co-authored the article had pretty close the same thing to say. Don't accept the jerkiness, dump them, and take the time to find someone better whom ISN'T a jerk.

My question, though, now, is this.
Aren't there as many female jerks out there? Bitchy, unhinged women who use and abuse the guys they date? I know there are, because I know some of them, personally. Women who take them for every dime they have expect MORE, no matter what the cost. Women who expect things to be their way, all the time, 24/7.
It really makes me sad, and disgusted.
My biggest hope, really, is that these people would find each other, the jerk men and the cold, bitchy women. The flaw in this, is that while they might notice each other, they won't date each other, because, the cold bitchy female won't accept being treated badly by the jerk, and the jerk? He isn't going to let some girl manipulate him.
Thus, they end up preying on the half way decent people that are left in this world, making messes of them, occasionally. And breaking more than a few of them, leaving them completely changed, and usually, very distrustful.
Now, if we could just find ways to brand them, so that we could all tell the difference.....
