    Got it on Saturday

    Started first with diarrhea at 11:30, then nausea and by 5:30 couldn't take anything p.o.  By 9:30 there was no GU production anymore and by 11:30 I went to the hospital.  I got 500 of normal saline, 8 mg of Zofran and I asked the doc for a GI cocktail (he did a double take...apparently not eveyone knows about it).  Sent me home in 3 hours with Phenergan to take at home.  I just started feeling back to normal on Tuesday but was still about to work Mon and Tues.


    I feel your pain.

    Saturday
    Today is Saturday.
    I won't B dateless this Saturday...
    I'm going to see ELTON JOHN in Cincinnati!!! YES! Quite a dream come tru for this old 70's teenager. I've never been to a rock concert in my life - what should I expect? (shudders)
    Work every Saturday
    Sometimes Sundays too
    by the way, SNL last Saturday was a RERUN.

    Sounds like me on Saturday, when I get done in 3 hrs,
    xxxxx
    Meet me here Saturday night.
    I would love to chat.  I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
    Saturday night chat. SM
    After all my efforts to get some use out of the chat rooms, I have to tell you that I will be unavailable Saturday night. Hopefully, others who are aware of the potential for someone to be in there will take advantage and join in.

    Anyway, thanks for the effort scc. Hope we can hook up another time.
    Leaving this Saturday for a week...

    in Bethany Beach, DE.  My parents rent the house and my family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 plus Mom and Dad all go together.  The beach is almost in our back yard and there is outlet shopping paradise in Rehobeth, not to mention seafood, seafood, seafood!  Can't wait!



    I'm bored and dateless on a Saturday night...
    Is it my basic personality?
    Only "bath night" in our house was Saturday

    You're like school on a Saturday, "Babe"...

    No class. 


       


    I worked 2 hrs 35 last Saturday and got my 1200 for the 8-hour day sm
    Had the same epiphany. End result? I have worked 72 the past 2 weeks (not quite 80, not till tomorrow). How much money have I made? $2000 at 8.5 cpl SO FAR, I have to work tomorrow.
    I work Tuesday through Saturday on the night shift. sm
    I really like the off shifts when no one else wants to work. I get a lot of work at those times, and I don't mind being out having fun when everyone else is at work.
    Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
    I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
    They made him lose 20 pounds for Saturday night fever, so he's always

    my 18 yo daughter will be working for a grocery chain out here starting Saturday.

    It will be interesting to see if she gets any tips ... or will be allowed to. She's going to be starting at $1 over minimum wage but has to pay union dues. She just quit a restaurant job where the business received tips that were to be divied up between the staff. She got lots of tips at her tables that she had to put in the tip jar. She never saw a penny in her pocket from those tips.


    Personally, I've never tipped the baggers, but they do work hard!


    Kind of like that Saturday Night Live skit about subliminal messages.

    I always thought that was hilarious.  Some of these doctors are so transparent in the tone of voice and when you get their reports over and over, you can almost tell by their choice of words (and the background conversation when flirting with the nurses) that they're chauvinistics going through middle-age crisis.  Can you see it:


    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:   The patient is an elderly 45-year-old female (I only go for young blondes) who is here complaining (I hate whiners) of a migraine headache that has waxed and waned over the past 2 days (must be that time of the month).


    PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:  Hypertension, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia (did I say I hate whiners?).


    MEDICATIONS:  None.


    ALLERGIES: None.


    SOCIAL HISTORY:  The patient is currently employed as a secretary,is married (how does her husband put up with it), and currently lives in ___. 


    FAMILY HISTORY:  No history of CVA or TIA.  Positive history for coronary artery disease, migraine headaches, and anxiety (now I see where the whining comes from).


    PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:  Vital signs:  Temperature 98.6 degrees, heart rate 72, blood pressure 110/65, respirations 20.  Weight is 140 lbs (whatta cow).  GENERAL APPEARANCE:  This is an obese female, well-nourished (obviously) who appears her stated age (not Jessica Simpson by a long shot). HEENT: Face is symmetric (including both of her chins).  PERLA, EOMI. No nystagmus. NECK: Supple (I hate having to say supple when it's as flabby as this one).  No tenderness.  LUNGS: Clear to auscultation.  BREASTS: Symmetrical.  No masses (Not bad for an old woman). ABDOMEN:  (Ughhhhhhhhhh) Obese, flabby, nontender.


    Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.  When you hear these dictators over and over with such obvious distaste in their voices you wonder if the patients sense it or if they put on such a good act that the patients don't even realize.


     


    I gotta work on Saturday, but on Sunday I'm going to take the kids to a Renaissance Festival.
    And Monday, the kids and I are going boating and to a cook out at the lake with family. 
    Just received mine Saturday. More or less the same thing we were emailed last week. Kind of repeated
    that. Just curious about benefits for SE. Never heard of that. The letter might have been a little more explicit about things but still nothing on what the pay plan is.
    Update on Tom kitty - we brought him home Saturday and he is back to his playful self today. SM

    I brought him home from the vet on Saturday.  He was still running a temperature, but it was much lower - 103.  It had been 106 when we took him to the vet.  He was still lethargic, but had started to groom himself.  I have antibiotics I have to give him twice a day, by Sunday afternoon he was becoming playful again and was drinking a lot more and started to eat more.  Today, he is back to his old self.  Attacking my PC wires and walking on my keyboard, trying to get my fingers when I type.


    I am so relieved!
