fried
I woke up late today. Really late. The clock said 6:22. My carpool buddy was supposed to pick me up 2 blocks away at 6:25. I threw on my scrubs, grabbed my keys & my badge, and literally ran the whole way. We made it to work on time.
Where I had 5 patients in the course of my shift, one of whom spoke only Spanish. And was going home. And needed teaching about his new colostomy. My Spanish is really not up to the task.
Then my night-shift coworkers didn't come get report from me until 15 minutes after I was supposed to be gone.
Now I'm going to sleep the sleep of the dead. And luxuriate in my four days off.
