So once again it was drill weekend so it is exhausting between working Friday and Monday at the hospital and then the weekend in Topeka. Lots of driving and lots of training.
First of all the weekend didn't start off great seeing as I didn't wake up until 7:15 and that is the when my supervisor asked me to be at work on drill weekends so that I can make sure I have a plan for everyone once the morning meetings are over. I called in and just got ready at a regular pace because I didn't want to forget anything and really there is no reason to rush when I am already that late. And on top of that they were fit testing so no one would be around until that was over. When I showed up people we still running so I was just going to sit around and not do much, most likely clean out my email but unfortunately the phone rang as soon as I got there asking for someone to watch UAs (urinary analysis). Being pretty much one of the only girls qualified I had to do it again! I was pissed, I had just done it a couple months back. When I got back I was basically just told that if they ever called again to tell them to go else where and find someone to do it because we weren't giving up any of our girls. We don't have that much time to waste every weekend and they needed to get the rest of the unit to participate. I think the thing that sucks the most about it is that I spend the first half of my day down out at the clinic telling people how to do a UA and then watch them pee. Just a big waste. They need to find their own group of people to do it.
Oh well, so to get to the rest of the weekend, there really wasn't that much going on. We went out and working in the rain which sucked because it was cold but we're much like the post office, rain or shine. Sunday we just worked on training stuff which means I stayed inside for most of the morning while I sent others to help people because we didn't have anything we needed to do. I guess all in all it was an easy weekend. It is just exhausting to work 4 days in a row when 2 of the are 12 hour shifts and then the other two were only 9 hours but about 2.5 hours in driving time.
