osodecanelaIt's been horrifically busy here for the past week and a half. My husband and I were away for a week, and then it was into the fire of work. I'm now in a new call group as of a week ago and last weekend was my first call on what was supposed to be off hours.
It was a clusterf*@k of a weekend, and that's putting it kindly.
Saturday started quietly enough, long enough that my husband and I managed 1/2 an hour of marital time. I had hoped to get to the office and have some time to catch up on paper work. I never actually made it into the office. The phone calls started at 8:30 in the morning and were so fast and furious, I could barely get showered and dressed. It took me over an hour to just get those two things accomplished.
After rounds, discharges and hospital admits, and more phone calls than I could count, I finally headed for home. At 10:15 pm. And finally got to sit down and have some lunch. Although at that point I guess you'd have to call it dinner.
Sunday was not much better than Saturday.
I had planned to call a good friend, who hopefully is reading this, Saturday morning, once I got to my office. Since I never actually made it there, that never happened. Normally I would have called while driving, (yes I do have hands free phone service in the car) but I know how much it distresses him if I do, so I didn't. I never made it to the gym that day, either. Hell, I barely had time to make it to the men's room.
I'm hoping that this was just an unusually bad busy weekend. It it keeps up like this last one, come September I will exit this group. I don't mind making some money, but I don't know that I want to give up this much of my free time this way. It's not worth it.
