Long weekend

Hello my suckas! Well, I had to work this weekend and it was long and tiring. Although it has been a while since I had a bad weekend so I really shouldn't complain. I got there Saturday morning around 7:45am. The dog I told you about before that had the esophagus surgery was doing poorly all week and died Friday night. That sucks, I didn't really deal with the dog, but the ICU tech and everyone worked so hard keeping that dog alive. Now since we were busy I had help Saturday, Mandy came in and was immensely helpful. She discharged 6 patients and did all the paperwork, I did the treatments on the other 4 patients. But 2 were critical and 1 was just a mean cat, so it took a little while. Plus it was good to have Mandy there as a buffer because the doctor on this weekend, I'm sure he doesn't like me. I have felt this way since I started. So Saturday I left around 1:30. Forward to Sunday. Our receptionist asked if she needed to come in on Sunday and I said no. Really I didn't think we needed to pay someone to page back and say some owner was here to visit or whatever. I got there at 7:45 again, the doctor came in around 8:15 and asked where the receptionist was and then it all went downhill. I got mildly chewed out for saying she didn't need to come and I should have checked with him and the list of reasons went on and on. Well honestly, how the fuck should I know the political fall out of this thing? Apparently we'll catch hell from Pet ER for their receptionist having to page us. It's all so stupid and yes, some of the services in the same building do not get along. Then the doctor was very scattered and didn't give orders for the patients well, I should have reigned him in and made him focus. Then another doctor's patient was supposed to come in for a bandage change. The owner called at 9:40 and said she was supposed to come at 9 but was up all night, can she still come? I said yes as long as it was before 10:30. Well then I really got it from this doctor, again I should have checked with him because the dog needed to be sedated because he has open wounds, blah blah. I said he didn't tell me that, he just said it was a bandage change, so I didn't feel that mistake was my fault. I really don't like this guy. Well we get through the morning, he leaves around 11:30, and I don't know what happened but I didn't leave until almost 3!! I didn't stop moving the whole time but I couldn't get everything done. So on my way home I called Beau Puckett (Michael Sherwood) in California and got a 2 for, Ryan Duncan was there! He was going to the premiere of Grindhouse, the Tarantino film because Tracy Thoms is in it. I would love to go to a fancy red carpet thing like that! So I was off today, yay, back to work tomorrow. I will go with a positive attitude though. Later suckas!
