gridloreI am so glad this week is over, as I over-extended myself a bit. I just had so much to do! It started Wednesday with a chest CT after work. No contrast was needed, so it was a literal five-minute affair, but still, it took away some spoons.
Then on Thursday, I had to deal with job stuff. Not just dropping my timecard off at the station, but we're finally switching banks and I needed to change my direct deposit. After an amusing phone conversation with someone in HR where I confessed that while crossing guards don't get city email accounts, we do get really neat whistles, I ventured down to City Hall to go into Payroll.
Which took some doing, as while they are open, they aren't really open, if you know what I mean. With the aid of a nice lady from HR, I found the right window and got that done. This was between my two shifts on Thursday, so you can only imagine the spoon deficit I was running with by the time I finished work.
Then today I had to go get more labs done. Again, I did this between my shifts. I was expecting it to be quick. It wasn't. As usual, there was difficulty in finding blood in my body, and one of the orders caused great confusion, and it appears to be for a spinal fluid tap, and they don't do that at Quest.
Add in the cold weather (I take a blood thinner, so I do not react well to chill conditions) and this has been a freaking week.
