Sunday...I worked last night, came home and proceeded to get ready to go to the eight o'clock service at church. We typically have a hard time getting there, as I ususally find myself climbing into bed instead of into the shower on Sunday mornings. Well, we made it there and I spent the entire service struggling to stay awake. I felt so stupid. I felt like everyone was watching me and shaking their heads in disgust. Is it worth it? I may as well be at home in bed. I think what needs to happen is that I need to do my best to avoid scheduling myself to work Saturday nights.
I slept all day, since it was possible they might need me to work tonight. But, I was told they would know and call me by 4:00 if they needed me and I haven't heard from them. At least I feel rested and did not spend the day laying on the couch fighting sleep, and being a psycho hose-beast. I am a little frustrated about my work schedule this month. You see, Shane mentioned to me about a week ago that we should go to San Francisco for our anniversary. So, I called my manager and let her know I needed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of that weekend off. I got a call from her the next day saying that she had just completed the schedule and I am off Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday, but scheduled on Saturday. How much does that suck. And no one can trade. I am tied with another girl as the senior full time nurse on our unit and I ask for one measily weekend off and cannot be accomodated. Everyone has these set days they can work and I always end up being the one to fill in the blanks. It really bums me out. I know if I had known a few days sooner, it wouln't have been a problem and I would have been able to get the time off. I was just too late. So, I think I might just call in sick. There are a few other possibilities in the works, but if they don't work out, I might just have a cold that evening. I so don't care.
I am reading Breakfast of Champions right now. I think I might finish it today. It is very humorous and I am enjoying it very much. I was reading at work last night, as were a few other people. They all read such crap! Like, stupid romance novels or stuff by James Patterson. Someone is always reading a James Patterson book. Actually, I have never read anything by James Patterson, but I can only assume his novels are somewhat trite. There are so many awesome books out there...quality books! I don't get it. I need to go to the bookstore and look for some new books to read, but probably not this week. I could read Winter's Heart, the ninth book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, but that would make Shane very very sad. I don't want my Shanie to be sad, so I will have to search our book shelves for other books to read in the mean time.
