Re: Monday moans
I got paged out ALL THIS PAST WEEK. I worked every day. I worked about 10-12 hour "normal" days Monday-Friday, but also was lucky enough to work all Wednesday and Thursday nights additionally on huge incidents! No fun!
Then i got paged out on Sunday morning JUST as i was trying to prepare Easter dinner. I'm so freaking happy to be off pager for this week..but I'll be back on next week!

Ugh. I don't know how you do it Kim - it sounds like being in pager is the DEVIL!!
My only moan right now is that I don't want to be back at work. After a week off, it's hard to be motivated. And, after our trip to Atlanta, I'm desperate for something to happen for us so we can move. We MIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS it!!!
I want finals to just be OVER. I feel like they've been dragging on FOREVER, mostly because I tried to spread my due dates out to minimize stress, but somehow I still ended up with like huge clusters of crap due - and I'm only taking 3 classes! I don't get how that worked out! I have a presentation tonight, 2 finals (1 paper, 1 project) due next week and an exam May 11 (which better not be a take home, because DH is taking me away for the weekend right before that, and I'm not doing a damned take home exam over the weekend). I rarely complain about school, but I am so over this semester...I feel like I've had no time for my husband at ALL and I just don't work like that - i.e. family comes FIRST.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Kim, you need a new job
Moan of the day is that we put another offer in on a house on Saturday. Really love it but trying not to get too attached because of what happened the last time. We really thought it would be easier this time... but now we honestly think it's worse. We decided not to put a 24-hour clause on the offer initial response since it went in on Saturday afternoon (not fair for the seller to have to make a decision Easter Sunday). Ugh. Waiting. Is. Agonizing. We drove by it yesterday and it's just such a pretty house, we love it but are trying not to get emotionally attached, which is so hard. Praying we have some good news later today that our offer was at least countered.
Also Mason is at the vet getting neutered as we speak so I don't have puppy boy to keep me company, walk the trail with me and decompress my anxiety!
That sounds so awful, you need a new job quickly
Friday before I was to go back to part time and have a 4 days weekend, I had a grand mal seizure at work. All I remember is walking towards a patients room to help feed because we were really short. Then next thing i know my supervisor is over me and I thought i was at home sleeping. Ended in the ER, cat scan and blood work was clean. I can't drive anywhere in case it happens again. So now I have to make a whole bunch of doctor appointments. Been here 3 years and have only ever seen an OB/GYN. I hate doctors. lol
I feel like i'm grounded like a teenager.
Oh my gosh Deb! That is so scary!!!!! I am glad you're okay now, I hope this is nothing serious. I'll be thinking of you, keeping you in m prayers that everything is alright.
Deb, I hope you are doing alright! That must have been scary. Take care!
No major moans here. Just bummed that today is my last day of spring break. I think I have one more day off (Memorial Day) between now and the end of the school year. Hopefully time with go fast!
Kim, I don't know how you put up with that job. Yikes.
And, Deb, I hope you're ok! That's scary
I don't have anything major yet except that I really, really didn't want to come to work. I want to come in less and less everyday. The only thing bringing me in is the guilt I would feel if only DH was bringing in a paycheck. Sigh.
I am supposed to hear back from 2 out of the 3 places I interviewed this week. I hope I get good news! It's so hard to wait. I just want them to call me already!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about the job/house/school/health stresses you all are dealing with!
I don't have anything too major. I'm just mad at myself that I spent the first part of my break being ultra lazy so that now, on my last day when it's sunny and I could be outside, I'm spending the day cleaning and doing laundry.
Plus DH wants me to make this Rachel Ray Easter Meatloaf recipe that he saw on TV and is all excited about. Normally, he's the meatloaf maker, but since I'm off today, he says I can make it. I'm not as excited about it as he is, but I guess I'll be making it since I'm afraid the expensive 2 pounds of ground lamb I bought Saturday won't last very long unmade.
Sad thing is, if I weren't married - I'd just let the house be dirty and eat take-out, but I guess I wouldn't trade DH for that!
Deb, I hope you're feeling okay. My dad has a seizure disorder, so I'm pretty familiar with all of the testing and treatments, and the difficulties taht go along with it. Please keep us updated - you'll be in my thoughts.
My Monday moan is that I am SO sick of the rain. The weather was really nice this weekend, but of course we woke up to pouring rain today. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could just stay at home, but it makes my commute to work a nightmare.
Hope everything is okay, Deb! Keep us updated.
My day started off alright (especially since I was coming back from spring break), but at about 11am I got an intense stomach ache. It has lasted pretty much all afternoon, but subsided a little bit after about 3pm. I am hoping that it is not some kind of flu. I am pretty sure that it isn't any food I ate today, because all I had eaten was cereal and a banana. Blah..not a great way to start a very busy part of the school year!
I'm also feeling a bit behind at work, but that is pretty normal for coming back from vacation. 38 more days of the school year. I think I can make it
Deb, that is so scary. I'm glad the initial tests came back clean and that the rest come out well.
I guess my only moan which isn't really a moan is that my spring break is over
but rather than getting to see my kids today or tomorrow I have PD days which are oh so dreadful.
Deb-Wow that is scary, I hope they get everything figured out so that doesn't happen again.
Kim-That sucks and I so feel your pain. My moan is the same as yours. I worked all week and in addition got called in Monday night till midnight, Tues. night TWICE which went until 11 pm, Friday for 4.5 hours, Saturday for 6.5 hours, and on Easter for 2 hours. It sucked so bad and I am already feeling the exhaustion of being pregnant and then working all these hours on top of it i could just sleep for 10 days straight!
Then my supervisor (who was off all last week) called in sick today so I got forced on call again tonight. UGH.
The job I interviewed for is doing a background/reference check on me and called my director for a reference, so I am hoping and praying that is a good sign to get me out of call prison...it's awful...
