Shitty day.
Wrist is still not better, workers comp sucks, am hoping I get payed for the holidays I was sposed to work but now can't cause apparently there are no "suitable duties". I know I didn't explain it, a patient let all their weight go on my hand, I was not prepared for it and pulled the tendons in the back of my hand/wrist.
Anyways on to the day, got to work and find out I am in charge, light duties my ass. I hate being boss, and making me it cause I am light duties really sucks. I get no hand over of the patients apart from.. oh this one this one and this.. one is going home. So its... fix it!! then I find out we have 3 (enrolled nurses..ie.. a step below registered nurses) EN's with no medications endorsement, and one staff member hasn't turned up yet, so I call about the extra staff, they call back and say they have called her house and she isn't there and should they get us more staff? I am like DUH, we are now understaffed, what do you think??
So i get on with the medications cause I know that no one else is gonna give em. I am half way through when the roster office calls and tells me they have another staff and she will be coming up. So I go back to the medications, she doesn't show. So we are still one staff member down, the boss of the ward has to get in and take those patients. I get on with the discharges, nothing is easy, no one is straightforward, i have to call community nursing in like 3 places. I get some of it sorted but I keep getting interrupted with people wanting me to help them with things, all the EN's are asking me questions and I can't afford not to look into them and answering em. One of the EN's patients spikes a high temp, gets the shivers and needs blood cultures and antibiotics, patients are being admitted as others are being discharged, I have to do all the IV and other meds cause the EN's can't. ARGHHH.
During all this wrist is aching on and off like a bastard, no time to eat, drink, pee or take meds to fix the wrist.
So I get home after leaving late, even though I had no lunch, and I get on WoW... for my housemate, cause he has a raid going to ZG at 6pm and wont be home in time to make sure he gets in.
Swap to my computer and get onto WoW, talk with a friend, he starts telling me that people are leaving my guild, one left today and one other is apparently planning on leaving. Then he tells me one of those two was talking about an alliance with his guild lords of winter, so that makes me feel bad cause I was the one pretty much responsible for the alliance that is being made currently between our guild and firemist. If I had known there was another alliance in the works I woulda held off, or at least talked it over a bit more before I made my move to try and create something.
The guild wants me to go to ZG, but i can't cause I went with a firemist friend who was running the LO raid on the weekend. I didn't know that our guild was going today. So one of my guildies gives me the guilt trip about not being able to go with the guild cause my instance hasn't hit the 3 day mark yet. I understand where he is coming from, but kinda harsh. (This bit was just for you Arshes - its okay, really!)
So then another guildie pretty much demands that I help his group of lowbies, and I go to help them, then they tell me I shouldn't be restoration. I got the question "If you are going to be a healer, why didn't you just become a priest instead". Raaawr! Because all people want in the high end instances is for you to be a restoration druid! you don't get into the high end instances as a feral or balance.
okay... phew.. have ranted enough now.
better get going
