This morning I had to try and treat a guy who fell 7 stories off a balcony in my hotel. I mean I'm only trained in basic first aid. There was not much I could do other then put some gauze on his bleeding held and tell him to lie still till the EMT's got there. All these years working there I've walked by that balcony and wondered what it would ( Read more... )

My department has been short of staff all summer. I haven't worked this much by myself since I first started. Now they're starting to loosen up on the no OT policy. One of our long time 1st shifters looks like he won't be back as he had a stroke. That was really kinda freaky news to me as he's one of the healthiest persons I know. Big time ( Read more... )

on the website I run for the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of RI I have a directory of members. I put some basic security on it to help protect the names and addresses. You have to e-mail me to request a password. In over a year no one has ever asked me for it until yesterday and the 1st thing that happens is that he finds this huge hole in my ( Read more... )

Well after a 3 day fever I'm finally feeling better. Just in time to go to work tonight, lucky me.

Lyme disease really seems to be bad this year. At least 2 people I know have it and it's really serious they're talking never damage. Now I have it, I went out to cut the grass yesterday and felt fine and by the time I went to bed that afternoon I was spiking a 101 degree fever. The worst part of it is that I had to go to work because it was my ( Read more... )

just bought a new HP laptop with my tax rebate. I love it it's got a 17 inch screen with dual hard drives and a centrino duo 2.2 ghz processor. I bought it refurbished so I saved about $300. The screens gonna take some getting used to though as it's a wide screen so I get a lot of extra space on most websites. I also bought this cool wireless ( Read more... )

I found a wallet with a few hundred $$ in it tonight, it would have been so easy to just pocket the cash and throw the wallet away, no one would've ever known.  I couldn't do it though, I had to track down the owner and return it to them :P

My life is entering a dark place.

I haven't posted to my LJ in quite some time because I really haven't had that much good news and I felt like it was turning into my own personal ranting page, but since it's mine I guess it can be whatever I want it to be so here comes some more ranting. I came down with pneumonia last week after going to a superbowl party. I though I just had ( Read more... )

Yes I have been gone from my LJ for some time now but that's because I got married a month ago. I've been so busy it's been ridiculous. Barb and I drove to VA then fl for our honeymoon. On our way I home I got caught in the worst traffic jam in NJ I've ever been in, 3 hours. I hurt my back 2 weeks ago and was out of work for a week this week I ( Read more... )
