While I was rounding in the hospital while I was dead tired, at the 25th hour into my call, I sat wearily in a chair in the hallway in front of a patient's room so I could use a mobile computer.  I suddenly felt something walking on my thigh, and looked down quickly.  To my great surprise, I found that a ladybug (of all things!!) had landed there and was walking along my leg. When I turned to tell my chief (who I know would have found it very amusing), it had flown away.

I thought it a great sign of good luck.  Thanks Ladybug!

Damn am I so tired of being sick.  Stupid school and germy kids!  I overheard a nurse in the hospital upset over the fact that her husband, who works for a federal library, was getting his H1N1 immunization (apparently through work?).  "I work at the damn hospital, and we can't even get immunized!  And you work for a freaking library and they're giving YOU the shots??"

Last night on call, I didn't get a wink of sleep.  I was so beat, coffee didn't even keep me feeling perky!  I think I actually fell asleep in the OR at least once!  How embarassing!  That's the first time that ever happened! 

I have way too much reading to do and too little time.  :(

Ow my index finger hurts from tying so many knots in surgery! 

Plus I had some bitchy nurse tell me I shouldn't wear nail polish.  It was the first time I've worn it like EVER.  What, I shouldn't and it's ok for all those nurses to wear it every day?  As if!  Studies show that there is no increase in bacterial presence in freshly applied nail polish, but there is a greater number of bacteria on nails that are chipped or on polish that is worn for more than 4 days.  So there!
