When to quit

Hello my suckas! I know, I said I would be better about posting, well I lied. But this week at work was frustrating and I thought I would share my woes. So Monday I was in ICU which is taking care of any patients in the hospital and any coming out of surgery that day. Well we had no surgeries scheduled, so those techs left at about 4pm, but I had to stay until 6 to round over to the night er tech. No big deal. Tuesday I think we got out about a half hour early, although the person in charge who was scheduled until 5 left at 4. Now this happens alot, GRRR. So Wednesday we are finished early again, and the same person tells me at 4 that she is leaving, but I have to stay and help in receiving and finish paperwork and stuff for tomorrow. Well, I think if they are really that far behind, it wouldn't killl her to stay for a half hour or so and help, instead of leaving an hour early, again! So I end up there until 7. So going back, my friend Helen was in a bad mood Tuesday, so we made plans with another delightful coworker to go out Thursday night because we were all off Friday. So Wednesday night I'm in a bad mood and tell Doug I want to quit. When I tell people what I do, they say that's so cool. The actual surgery part is cool, but all the crap and personalities make it a drag, and there are about 3 or 4 of us that feel like we are always the ones that have to stay late. We are also the ones that never call in sick. That is seriously a problem, I can't believe some of these people are sick so often. In two years I've used 2 sick days. And honestly, both times I was hungover! So when do you decide you can't be there anymore? I mean there is piddly crap with any job isn't there? And for a tech job, this is pretty good and pays comparatively well. Oh well. I'm done complaining. See ya suckas!
