Dog tired!!!


Hey guys, just want to complain. Its 5:19 am eastern time and I just got done with my 11th case of the shift. Started work on a 24 hr shift and have worked non-stop for 22 hours with two 15min breaks. I know its hard to believe but I think I just set a new school record at my program.

Usually you pull a 24hr but you never really work for the entire 24 but thats not the case today. I just dropped off a ASA class 5 to the unit who went head first into a car from a harley with no head gear. Hes got vitals-- thats all cause they removed alot of his brain.

I love anes but I am too tired to learn anymore today!!

Later time to find a couch!! Lee
