Sliver of moon...

That's what I saw when I looked outside tonight. The new moon is nearly upon us.

Work is still the same old, same old, which will get more fun and exciting when the annual vacation schedule for next year is turned in soon. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Boss enjoys the position of keeping people in suspense, so we're still waiting to see who he's going to assign to work Thanksgiving, since everyone knows the nurse with the most seniority, S, is already off anyway, just like every other holiday (and day after, if she chooses).

It's always fun asking the specialists questions they don't expect...like why were using a product off-label. Thankfully, the guy I asked has a sense of humor. His boss, the chief, vacillates on humor on, humor off some days, so he doesn't always like to be asked. I did get an interesting answer, so I was happy I asked. Met one of the specialist's new residents who is really good. Now if they could keep her from writing goofy all acronym orders, that would be even nicer. No wonder JCAHO has a fit at our place all the time!

The Slug did an unusual thing today...missed a personal phone call during business hours. Yes, indeed, another sign the moon is changing!

I've had fun so far this week. I got to play with some new tools and get them to work after only a couple of uses. I'm one of the few people who use this product right now, but it's so much better than the old stuff. I can't wait until Santa brings us a couple more!

School is still school. I attended an optional conference via web today, so that was interesting, especially since my instructor was there, too. (She must attend all of them). Hopefully, my redone paper got a good grade.

On top of that, I've got my date for the my certification exam...just days after the semester is over. At least, I'll have a little time to celebrate.

More later...still tired from yesterday. Stay tuned.
