The 5th Post of the day

August 21, 2006

As you can note, I apparently have nothing better to do than post on my blog. Particularly now, as I’ve been abandoned so T (who is on call this week as well) can drive 30 minutes away for a problem that can be fixed in about 2 minutes and then drive home. If this call had come in 15 minutes from now, the place would be s-o-l because their coverage runs out at 10 PM. Drives me crazy. It’s a fricking restaurant system. Will the world come crashing to an end because the IHOP in Holland can’t process a credit card? No. Will anything bad happen? No, except a few disgruntled customers who, if you tell them up front you aren’t able to accept credit cards that night, would probably survive. Now, I know he signed up for on call work by taking this job. But, um, somehow the definition of emergency has been misconstrued (or is just construed?) to mean things such as “You know there’s this report I want to run. Can you set that up?” or “Are you able to add an item to the menu for me?” Yeah, that’s an emergency.

Of course, nothing, absolutely nothing can top when T was in his old job as daytime manager of a “fine dining establishment” and the phone rang at our house about 9 AM on a Sunday morning (the restaurant is closed on Sundays). It was the restaurant’s owner asking,”Where do we keep the peanut butter?”

PS I’m in a better mood than I was earlier. Must be the mint chocolate chip ice cream I ate :P  You know that’s what is driving me the most “crazy”- I’m up and down in a matter of minutes.  And when I called PH’s office today because the lack of sleep part is NOT HELPING, his nurse called back and said he suggests we try dropping the Wellbutrin dose down first.  I’m not sure I follow why he suggested this and I didn’t think to ask his nurse when she called.  Oh, well.  I suppose if I really want to know, I can call back.  Of course, I’ll probably bring Widget in to get her ear checked (I said to T earlier that if I don’t take her in, it will turn out to be an ear infection, and if I do, her ears will be fine), although I suspect he’s full for the week and we would see someone else.

I’m absolutely rambling tonight…
