Completely unrelated, my boss called a few minutes ago to see if I could come in and run after care today. Apparently, the girl who works the days I don't called out a few minutes ago--she can't come in because she's going out of town. She forgot.

How do you forget you're going out of town?

Yes, S and I are finally home.

And yeah, I feel pretty righteous in my irritation, but I also have a great deal of respect for the nurses (per the discussion from, I think, last week). I know who the real people performing the jobs that need to get done on a hospital floor are.

Still, we were rapidly approaching being in the hospital 36 hours longer than we needed to be.

Unacceptable on every level. Also, I don't get it since I thought hospitals were notorious these days for getting peope out the door ASAP.

Meaning *someone* hadn't been doing their job for at least 36 hours. Sometimes people need to be kicked in the butt. No shame in being the butt-kicker.

Let me tell you, we were discharged within twenty minutes of my little outburst.

So... it worked. And yeah, even S is telling me the problem was not with me, and there should be no shame in hollering a little just then. I myself think she's biased because it got her out of the hospital.

I now have an image of Seanie going Shirley MacLaine on the hospital staff.

Heh.

OMG that Annabel video is the cutest thing ever! What a little sweetie.

Happy birthday to Owen!

Video of Annabel is to DIE for! Oof.
