That's because last week, I worked 6/7 days. That is too many. But my paycheck was AWESOME.
This week isn't a whole lot better, and we have had a full house all week (as in, 0 free rooms, filling up the empty ones as soon as we discharge someone). I'm on call tomorrow at 3pm, which means, more than likely, I will be working a 16 hour shift. I'm not really sure any of this is legal, and I know it's INSANE, but the other day, my boss stopped me in the hall and said that she had gotten more applause cards (appreciation from patients for great customer service) about me than anybody else. So I guess I'm handling the madness better than I think.
And just so you don't go feeling too sorry for me, here's a little story:
The other night at work, a new dad comes up to the desk and says "Get this- I got one baby momma in this room, and one baby momma in that room. This one knows, but the other chick doesn't. Ha." Um...what?! Congrats? I guess? And the two babies are lying there in the nursery, in cribs right next to each other, and don't even know that they are half-sisters and that this may be the only chance they get to meet--it's like something out of a movie!
This weekend was the annual Urbana Sweet Corn Festival- Delicious! Gotta love a lemon-shake-up!
