It's been a very long week. Kentucky has been slammed by snow storms and ice storms. Getting to work, and home from work, has been a struggle. A couple of the nurses spent the night at work rather than take their chances driving. I'd rather drive through hell then spend the night at work. But it's been difficult.
I have phone lines down in my front yard. My phone lines are working, so I assume it's my neighbors line.
Daughter has been out of school all week because of the weather. I guess it's a good thing. She's down and out with a pretty nasty cold. (poor boo!) Her Valentines Day dance is around the corner. We ordered her dress on-line rather than shop in thsi crappy weather. I love the dress she picked out. Can't wait to see her in it.
I've yet to touch the messy room. I have all these grandiose ideas of what to do with the room and yet I can't seem to get off my butt and get started on the project. Maybe tomorrow I'll get started?
One of my work friends, a guy who heads another department, was diag. this week with a terminal illness. He probably has a few months left to live. He won't be coming back to work.
I've always liked him...he's funny, humble, and he reminds me a little of my friend that died several months back...and so I always went out of my way to file his charts after he had completed his work.(I curse the other department heads when they leave charts on my desk rather than put them away.)
So we've always had thsi little game where he pretends I'm his secretary,& he's my boss. I'd call his office every now and then to ask if he needed coffee, to ask if I could have a raise,and to let him know Obama, Hilary, or Martha Stewart had called for him. (he loves all 3 of them.)
Some of the other nurses would want to play the game. They'd ask him if they could be his secretary too, and he'd always say to them "NO! I already have a secretary and she's the best." He even told one of the African American nurses "I don't hire coloreds!" lol......He's black.....and of course he was joking.......but
He was always faithful to me in our game..... I love him as a work friend......I'm sad and sorry for what he is going through...and I'll miss him.
