Burnout

Argh. Blogger doesn't want to upload photos. Maybe Blogger hasn't had a real vacation since February (a vacation that didn't involve going somewhere else to work), and is starting to resent having demands made on it's time. Perhaps Blogger is starting to feel flashes of rage when totally reasonable requests are made of it. And the fact that Blogger's next real day off isn't until the 28 or 29th of December probably isn't helping. Or maybe Blogger is just grumpy this morning because Blogger's pager went off at 3:46 AM when a patient decided to pull a tube out of his chest that Blogger had taken the time to carefully insert yesterday afternoon. And the insult added to Blogger's injury is that the on call guy didn't answer the initial page, which lead the nurse to decide to page Blogger, despite the fact that Blogger just finished a very busy call week. Which of course made it difficult for Blogger to get back to sleep, since Blogger was recalling the many many nights when Blogger got woken from sleep because of wackiness that was going on with the other guy's patients.
