8 hours of sleep, not bad

Now I'm so damned hungry... what to eat, what to eat...Steak, yeah, that's the ticket.

Hey Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.... hahahahaha

4 days off... gonna get a bit of rest, then tonight go drinking

So I am working the night shift... I'm actually enjoying it except for certain lazy nurses that think that everyone is there to serve them. I'm cool with it though as my director told me that "they can fuck themselves, if they want maids to clean up after them, they're welcome to hire them." hahahahaha :D that and my Director really likes me (she's pretty bad ass) so no worries there.

On another note, my schedule rocks for right now. I work Mon-Wed, 7p-7a and I get 4 days off. I get better pay and benefits than I ever would on an ambulance and I keep seeing the guys doing the job I left over 2 years ago and they look they way I used to. Beat, tired, hating their jobs yet telling themselves that they still love it. . . till they find out my hours, benefits etc... I don't tell them what I get paid, as not many medics get that pay around here in the valley. Did I mention my director likes me?! hahaha ;)

Got off of work this morning after sitting around the ER since about 3am doing absolutely NOTHING as we were dead last night. My daughter called and told me that I would be very proud of her, as she was already in her seat and seat belted in.... you see, today she took her first airplane ride... she is on her way to California with her mom to visit some of her mom's family and then go to San Francisco. They will be there all weekend. Kinda sucks that she won't be there when I'm going to be there, but I'm taking a more adult oriented trip out there and it would be hard to do with her there. Another time, another trip. She should be calling me daily or texting from her mom's phone.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep for a bit and plan for this weekend as I have things to do. I also need to sell one of my motorcycles since my brother doesn't want to buy it back from me ( I told him he could have first dibs at it, but he thinks its too expensive) so I can purchase another bike. Ah well, nothing is forever and nothing lasts forever. Someone else can enjoy the bike. I want something different.

Peace.

just a small update

Finally got around to cleaning my desk off. I'm tired. Getting used to working night shift has been fun. I'm working in the ER now while I go to school. New hospital, new people and much better pay than before so I'm ok with it. I work 3 nights a week, off from Thu-Sun so I get time to do my thing and spend time with my kiddo whenever possible. Although I will say that night shift is filthy. Is it really that hard to put the trash from shit you open in a trash can? And then to get indignant because the mess you made hasn't been cleaned up for you? haha, luckily the director, a friend of mine, agrees with me 100%. She told me to tell them all to clean up after themselves and if they had a problem with that, they could go talk to her about it... like I said, I'm liking my job. Now, that is not to say I don't like helping, or cleaning or backing up the teams when the shit hits the fan. But when getting online to check softball stats, or stereo equipment comes in first ahead of pt care or just plain cleaning up your mess, then I don't really care much for your work ethic. Anyway, let me step off of my soapbox now...

And start planning my trip to SF. Thats right boys and girls, I'm headed back to Cali. I will be in LA/Santa Monica for about 3 days then driving up the PCH 1 to SF for about 4-5 days of exploring and hanging out. We have 1 day where we are going to go to Napa and have a limo drive us around while we get drunk as skunks. Other than that we haven't set out a plan just yet. A lot of eating and sight seeing and maybe some clubbing. We'll see what happens. We have also noticed that we don't have to be back until July 27, so if we can find a place to stay on the not so expensive side, we'll just switch our flights and stay several more days.

1st stop on this trip when we get to SF is going to be (depending on the time we get there) to Tygers Cafe for breakfast. Other than that, maybe some burritos, deli's, Thai place that I went to last time I was in town, and who knows what else.

We'll figure it out.

I texted my brother but like always, no answer. So Ric, Jes, We'll be in town from July 18-23. If you guys would like to get together one of those days for lunch or dinner, awesome, if not, no worries. We're gonna have a blast one way or the other. And no, that is not a subtle way of hitting you up for a place to stay if that is what you were concerned with dear brother. We'll be staying downtown.

Will update soon
