this n that

So yesterday boyfriend and I went to the Belterra Casino Resort and Spa in Indiana for the night.
I'm not a  gambler.
But boyfriend enjoys a good poker game now and then.......and I've heard him talk about "going to the hill" with his friends in Colorado to play the slots. I thought going to the Belterra might be something he'd enjoy. And he did.
It was a nice time. Just being alone for the night, getting away from home, even if we'd done nothing else, it was fun.
 We won a few bucks throughout the night.......but put it back in the slots...........After gambling we had dinner at the hotels Grand Buffet...... I'm not a big buffet person.....I don't think buffet food is usually very good..........theirs was worse than most........but we sat at a quiet table by a window that over looked the river..........and had a romantic, sweet, relaxing time together.
I wish we could have stayed another night.

Tomorrow I go back to work.
One of the nurses is on leave for at least several weeks more. They gave me all of her patients but didn't have the balls to tell me. One of the CN'S informed me what my new assignment would be. How's that for leadership? I've been killing myself trying to meet all the demands of my new assignment.
I'm resentful that the powers to be stuck their head in the sand rather then tell me about my new patient load..........and I'm resentful they think it's possible for 1 nurse to give care to 30 patients.
I'm afraid to say anything for fear they'll think I'm whining. On the other hand I don't want to stick my head in the sand like they did theirs.

You should at least go to your immediate superior and let that person know that if they think that the 30 patients will be able to receive the proper care someone is stupid and the patients are the ones who will really suffer and that shouldn't be.

Pfff, I can lose money at card games faster than I can take it out of my wallet so I don't play those games.

I do like to play certain slots at the casino but I'm a cheap son of a bitch and not bad at math so I just do it for amusement, often just playing penny or nickle bets while watching humanity around me.

Studying humanity is very interesting to me.

Oh, in a few years it will be 35, welcome to the Dilbert Zone.
