Here I be.
Working in the hospital lab as usual, running tests. Fortunately the ER isn’t as busy tonight as I was expecting.
Why, a metric crapload, of course. Sometimes two.
Dex, I’m afraid, is gonna have to tap his foot a bit longer, as last I checked, Qatar is not on the Gulf of Mexico, so his rig is out of our region. Maybe we can send the stuff he needs over on that rocket Hyperelastic is preparing.
Yup. I’m workin’ 18 hours today. Bathing in oil. And drinking it. And shoving it in my eyes.
Pulled a ten hour shift first thing in the morning manning the desk clerk at the hotel today, fresh from my Thanksgiving night shift.
I can’t figure out why it is always the same early-thirties sounding women that called endlessly last night (ahhh, turkey’s done, family has gone home, let’s call up some hotels and ask endless questions!!!). They are the same ones that call at three AM to ask if we offer a heated pool or in-room coffee makers. Folks! When you call a hotel in the middle of the night, your waking up some poor soul who is probably on 24 hour duty and has to be up at six for the continental breakfast! Can’t it wait until morning?
I’m suffering with all the other people working in TV land. Sure, you’re all watching the Macy’s parade, the football game, and the news, thinking it’s all done with robots 
Just now getting around to posting. I was hard at work on Turkey Day putting 2550 people on a cruise ship. This is after getting to work at 7:30 am to get the 2545 people already onboard to GET OFF AND GO HOME! And they have the nerve to bitch. I finally told one guy,“Hey, you were on a 5-day cruise. You didn’t have to cook or clean. I’m at work on a holiday. And I still have 2 hours of cooking to do before I can have dinner tonight.” :wally
On the other hand, we were all getting Holiday Pay, right?
