Still feeling rather seedy yesterday, got up and did some exercise though, then all of a sudden out of the blue, work calls.
"Hey are you coming in? You are rostered on for an afternoon this afternoon."
"No.. I aren't" I say. "On my roster that is here in front of me I am not rostered anywhere until tomorrow."
"Oh, but your name is here..."
"Well I didn't agree to any shifts today, and I am not on my roster."
"Oh....Oh... well we will call around and see if we can get someone else, can I call you back if I can't?"
"Yeah I spose." I say.

I go and get into my work uniform, as I am damn sure they will call back in a couple of minutes to say I need to go in.

Ring ring.
"Hi Bek, They have staff all over the hospital doing double shifts, we really need you, can you come??"

I get in there half an hour late... they have 9 surgical patients for me to look after, including a 84 year old woman who is sposed to have 2 litres of GoLytely (which is a bowel prep, as in clears out your bowel... from top to bottom so to speak) and who can't get out of bed by herself, let alone to the toilet. YAY! err not.
Oh well.. she had a great sense of humour and was sharp as a tack for 84 years old so it wasn't too bad :o)
