I am. What does that have to do with this.

Just asking. . .okay off to shower and sleep. ..I have to work tomorrow.

Happy One Week to Hershey Day! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. It still feels like we're living in an oven down here. Definitely time for a trip to the pool.

And I've actually managed to clean most of my apartment. I should be able to get the rest straightened before Wednesday.

I will admit I do like a nice colone on SOME men. there are men out there that just smell nice after a shower. something that some men forget is that if they have a soap that has a scent to it, using a colone may clash with it and then it just sucks from there.
I had a friend in high school that used to wear Aramis and I literally would go up to him in the middle of the hall, grab him by the collar and just sniff his neck....yeah I was kinda bold in high school!

You? Bold?? NEVER!!

Todd. . .cath lab is no more stressful than any other position. The difference is call shifts. At two shifts a month in DC, no issues, here I take call 11 days a month. . .sucks.

I blame the old people living in Florida.

 

[bluedevilinaz]

So my friends, I have decided to step out of the cath lab (current work place) and go back to floor nursing. I don't like call shifts. When I was in DC, I took call 2 days a MONTH. now I take call a minimum of 2 days a week, most times its 4 days a week. I am also going to be making more money because I will no longer be working for an HCA company. That is probably the best news. I interviewed last week for a new position and was offered the position. This week I find out the hiring process and when I actually go to work. There is also a sign on bonus with this position. . .I am excited about that. But the best part about the new position is NO CALL. . .

Yay.

Congrats! I know how much you despised the on call shifts.

1. Different hospital, different hospital company, better pay and lifestyle.

WOO! better pay is always good!

Its funny to note but most of my patients in the cath lab are in their 50's. I always expected to have older patients in the cath lab. Its rather amazing.

DC, get the apartment cleaned. Pay someone if you have to. We wenches (or princesses) do not like dirty digs. . .lol.

Yes, the on call shifts I hated, but you also know I have been complaining about the pay forever. And stop laughing at me. . .lol

For the nurses. . .if you work for HCA companies, you have no secure job or future and your pay is at the bottom of the barrel for your area. They don't care. If you quit, they find some other sucker. I was amazed when I found out what other hospitals in the area pay for the same skill level. I am happy I am leaving HCA. I will NEVER work for another HCA facility.

1. It's pretty much cleaned. Just need to run through with a vaccuum.... and probably straighten my room a bit. But the rest of the apartment is cleaned at this point.

2. Ssooooo.... Does this mean your new job is bringing the pay back up towards the level you had in previous jobs? I remember your saying that what you got paid in florida was less than in DC or Vegas, but the proximity to the parks made it worth while. I'm wondering if you finally fixed that one downside.

DC, not quite Vegas level but definitely DC level. With the added sign on bonus I will be feeling a bit more flush than I have been since I moved down here.

Are we not taking care of ourselves as well, perhaps? Or maybe it's a sedentary lifestyle?

Congrats on the J-O-B!!!! In HCA...you're just a Number to them?


I, too get to work this morning....going in early to do a monthly count. Oh, boy!

Ya'll have a fun day!

Sweet! Drinks on you then when we come down in September/October.

Congratulations, Darcy! A better paycheck is a good thing


Hope everyone's weekend is going well. The heat is over the top here, glad there is an ocean close by to cool off in. Yesterday I participated in Wounded Warrior ride, due to the heat they cancelled the 60 miler. But still very uplifting to see these guys out riding with artificial limbs.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Morning! I'm sad to say that I'm not going to make it to Hershey next weekend I thought I could swing it but I really can't. I was looking forward to meeting you crazy..uhh.. I mean fun folks. On the bright side the reason is that I just paid off my trip (and my bills) and I'm saving to get an AP (my first ever!) and to have enough money to spoil my neice and nephew rotten whom I barely see because my bro is in the airforce and stationed so far away. Let me tell you ten days of spoiling in Disney is a lot of dough but hey; somebody's gotta do it. Anyway, pretty soon I'll be living in Fla and I can meet up in Disney any weekend ya'll are down there with my shiny new (expensive) AP!

So as I was waiting for my last flight I wandered through the Duty Free Store for your assortment of whiskies, wine, chocolates, watches etc. When I came across Men's Cologne.....so just throwing out the question to anyone that wants to answer, is cologne worth it? Do you like cologne on a guy???

Perhaps sleep deprivation with the all night flight is taking over......

It all depends on the guy and the cologne....

Yay.

Yay. That is awesome. No call is just one of the many things I LOVE about my job, and just think it will be easier to make plans with the new guy.

I am sorry, but even if you stand in a shower for hours, the scent of shaving cream, soap and toothpaste will be there regardless. . .and its awesome to smell.

Clean man is good. . .lol.

I have to agree with Darcy on this one, the one exception is the HOT guy at the gym that sweats next to me on a machine, but I am guessing he still smells good. I haven't gotten that close but I am working on that.

I prefer a "DIRTY" woman..LOL

You would


I had a great day yesterday! We went to a party for a friend up from FL. I went to Jr high and High School with, I saw people I haven't seen in years. It was a great day.

ME!!

OK so I thought I would update you on my world....
So last week I told you all that I had to travel to Williamsport, PA for a huge project for my south Jersey office, basically we are vacuuming dust from every area of this facility...oh and my guys are suited up and it's been over 100 degrees every day up here. so now we have the same project for the same company out in Pittsburgh and my Director has asked for me to start their job off on Tuesday. so I will be on the road for the next week....Yes I will be at Hershey for our meet up, I basically will spend my entire week in PA ending it with a really cool weekend. unfortunately because of both projects I have to go back to the site on Sunday so I don't get to hang out with our favorite painter/bartender
I'll still be lurking in and out this week but we're working 12 hour shifts night and day so it's gonna be kinda grueling.

Hmmmmm.... Since a Few of us will be hanging out Friday at Knoebels, I'm guessing some drinks may be had afterwards. For those arriving Friday night into the area, Feel free to text me when you get into the area and I'm sure we can tell you where we are so you can join us in getting your drink on.
