mama never said there would be days like this

Man alive!! I just arrived home from work at about 8:30 p.m. I have duty today so that means that I am the man. I had to show up at 6:30 a.m. today and get a rundown of what was happening at work. Then make sure that the cronies that I work with put the flag up without incident. Then of course I had to go and do my normal job. That is always lame. Then back to the main clinic and make sure that people are where they are supposed to be.

We are usually done seeing patients at about 6:00 p.m. But not on my night of duty. Turns out we had a woman come in with a broken nose. Seems that she was a bit reluctant to tell the docs how it happened. Well, she finally broke down and told the nurse and doc that her husband beats her. Nothing against this woman and her situation but now I am stuck there for who knows how much longer. The docs call the police and report the situation and all seems to work itself out. I guess this happend about 2 days ago and she was just now coming in to be seen. her husband is in San Antonio with work. He is a Marine so that should tell you something right there. Not all Marines are bad bust some are real fucking douche bags. So, all was well and then I was ready to get out of there and I take a walk around and see the lazy cleaning crew there doing sqaut! I shooed them out and was on my marry way.

Oh yeah, and I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to get the clinic open. Which is a waste of time. I am supposed to open up and let people in so they can catch a shuttle to outlying military hospitals. Sometimes theres 6 people and sometimes a big fat ZERO people. Those are the days that make you go crazy.

On the good side, I have no docs tomorrow so I will do nothing and leave work at noon or so. That is always a good thing. I need to try and get the boy to bed and I need sleep myself. Fuck!!
