So irritated!

[hiddencatRN]

So, Mondays are generally tough, but we've started to get our winter numbers so they are particularly busy right now. And within two hours of starting my shift I had 3 PARTICULARLY IRRITATING things happen. Don't want to go in to details but it was all right in a row. Add in some PMS so my irritation threshold is lower than usual and I'm ready to go home or throw down with someone. Not really, but you know. And because my shift has only just begun that makes it worse because now I'm anticipating a whole night of more irritating events than per usual. Gah.

I know it could be worse but for me it is just one of those nights. I welcome any SERENITY NOW vibes anyone wants to send my way.

Rants are no fun to read without details...

Lol, I know, but I figure I've posted enough about myself over the years to be pretty easily identified, you know? It would be more than irritating to have one little detail too much get me in deep doo doo.

I always say that's it's better to be pis**d off than pis**d on.

Also, I've found that what usually follows from a shift like that is an occurrence/something that happens that makes me feel REALLY crappy for feeling so bent out of shape in the first place.

Ehhh I don't mind being peed on so much. Hock a loogie on me or gargle in my face too much with your copious oral secretions that you aren't swallowing though and I might just vagal out.

My prescription?

Angry Birds, PRN as needed to prevent headcount reduction via homicide...*grin*

I'm a big fan of fruit ninja. I can pretend the fruit I'm slicing with my ninja swords is all sorts of things

Unfortunately, not alwas mutually exclusive.

I think we had the same Monday. PMS and all.

I do a lot of under the breath mumbling. Call people a$$holes and such (quiet so they don't hear you). Throw in a few F bombs (obviously). Combine a$$hole with F bomb PRN.

'kin A. Right with ya. I've found using the mother f bomb twice in one sentence to be very therapeutic. Go all Pulp Fiction, ya know what I'm sayin'? Muttered of course.
