I heard from an old friend yesterday.  What a nice surprise!  We chatted for a while, caught up on "stuff", and it was all good!  There is nothing like someone you haven't heard from for a long time, and luv a lot, getting in touch.  Soooo nice. 

Our lives are so busy nowdays that we may not have time outside of our immediate reality, family, work, real life stuff.  I find that I no longer have that luxury, either, altho weekends are now something I look forward to, a lot!  I need to keep in touch with my friends, that's for sure.  Just wanted to say that.  That's all.

I was late nurse last night.  Yeh, we are all having to do that once a week now that they require 2 nurses to stay to the bitter end.  Well, it is safer, just in case.  If you are alone with a patient and something goes incredibly wrong, you are on your own.  Call a code, that's all you can do.  So, I am getting more and more OT when they are cutting back.  Go figure.

I am so excited for the Chi Lan Airfaire contest winners!  It's always fun to win something, and this win rocks!  It's just that many more friends I will get to meet at the Lan.  It's getting closer all the time.  It will be a fun party.  I would try to sneak some of you in, if I could.  But.....  Wish everyone was going, all 16.000 of you.  Yikes!

Today, my nurse manager got fired.  Yeh, we knew there were problems.  And we knew how tough Ian is.  Ian...the head honcho.  Yesterday we had staff meeting, and she was leading it talking about all the things we were going to be doing, and today she is gone.  We were called into a conference room a few at a time and told about it.  No explanation, nothing.  Just, she's no longer with us.  I asked Ian if  she knew about this yesterday, and he said no.  That made me scared again.  That's two nurses that have been fired recently, one a manager, the other a staff nurse.  We all sat there in sh

I bought cherries today. mmmmm, I luv cherries. I started thinking about cherries, and a few things came to mind. For one thing, cherries are really wonderful and delicious, but you have to watch out for the pits. Having a great day? Looking forward to something special? Are you in love/lust with your soulmate? The kids are at grandma's, the significant other is out hanging with his/her buds and all you have to do all day is game? w00t! Those are cherries! The pits? Well you know what the pits are. All those bad things that happen on a daily basis.

There has been some talk behind the scenes about the reasons that would prevent people from attending the lan in August.

1.  Family commitments

2.  Money, ability to get time off from work

3.  Money

4.  Real Life

5.  Money

6.  Feeling "shy" about being alone with a bunch of strangers.
