Burned Out

Yesterday was a rough day at work. We had a resident who was in pretty bad respiratory distress. I don't know about anybody else but when i have a hard time breathing I get tired. So, this residents was getting tired and just wanted to lay down. The dumb paramedic said ," Are you giving up breathing? Are you ready to die?" What kind of jerk says that to somebody? What ever happen to public service and encouragement in crisis (no matter how big or small) After they took the resident out of the room to the ER the paramedic came up to me and said, "It doesn't look as if he will make it, you might want to prepare everybody now." UHM! What a Jerk! So, I was suppose to leave work at 7pm last night because I was in at 9:30am and that emergency got ober at 7:15pm, I took out garbage, toileted two people, but someone to bed and then at 7:45pm when i was getting ready to take the garbage out I hear, "HELP! HELP!" Once of my residents fell and that took another thirty minutes. The nurse and I were coming downstairs when the other nurse called on the radio. She had dropped all the other nurse's pills on the ground and they were alll mixed up, so guess what I stayed and helped do.... PILLS. So, obviously I was not meant to leave at 7pm yesterday. Who knows maybe I would have gotten in a bad accident on my way home or someone would have hijacked my car, either way I am very frustrated with work right now. I am just burned out! It doesn't help either that I am no getting very good sleep either!

I know a blog is suppose to be a place where you can vent frustrations and share whatever is going on in your life. I realized that putting things, for example, how unhappy I am at work, could come back in bite me in the rear end, so I deleted it. FYI, I only got a $0.30 raise. So after three years of not getting a raise, that is all I am worth. I am not quite a happy camper!!!!

Idaho

My mother, Christopher and I drove to Idaho this week. We left Sunday after church, almost got in three accidents in the QFC parking lot while Chris was driving and then got really close to the side rail. He drove from Kent to Ellensburg. We saw my Uncle Brian, he barbequed us the BEST chicken ever, left and then drove to Spokane, staed with the Burches, got up and drove to see my Aunt Sharon who took us to IHOP and tried to convince to stay the night but we decided to continue to drive to Rexburg. So, I am loosing reception on my cell phone while trying to make hotel arrangements for that night getting frustrated and finally gave up. We waited until we got to Rexburg at 8:30pm, reserved a room, got my stuff out of storage, went to Walmart, went back to the motel, slept got up, went shopping, visited Kiersten and Brilynn (WHO IS SO STINKING CUTE, except she cried when she saw me!!!) left Rexburg and drove to Rupert, Idaho where we stayed in 110 degree weather with Grandma and Grandpa Beth, who doesn't remember who I am :(. We stayed the night and then left for Washington at 6pm, made it four hours and got another motel room in Ontario, Oregon (stinkiest town ever!!!!) Slept and then left at 8:30am. We drove back home where "my mom folded the map" and time traveled. Somehow we missed the whole city of Yakima where we were going to go and get fruit to bring home. Made it home, my parents and family left to go camping with Jen and Joe and friendsm left me all alone at home and now I have to work this weekend so I don't think I will get to go camping. Maybe i will drive up tonight hang out a little bit and then come home. I am debating whether or not to put a mattress in my car so I don't have to sleep on the ground. THANK GOODNESS for fold down seats. I really need to wash my car but that will wait until after I make the drive. Anyways best part of the trip... I GOT NEW SCRIPTURES. Mine were in need of some First Aid so I just bought new ones. I LOVE NEW SCRIPTURES. If I am forgetting something in my long rambling, I will make sure to add it later. Pictures also... I will add those at another time :)
