Workin' 9 to 5

C'mon, you can't just read the title and keep going...you have to sing it! All together now!

"Working nine to five
what a way to make living
Barely getting by
it's all taking and no giving.
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
if you let it..."

I started a new job on Monday. (Hence the lack of bloggership on my part--my deepest and most sincere apologies!) I work for the lab in a local hospital. Yes, I am the one who comes in the ass crack of dawn to draw your blood, and run the lab tests. You can call me a phlebotomist, vampire, blood sucker...but please, do not call me $&@!*? #*%$&#! Remember, it is YOUR doctor who has ordered the tests; I'm just doing what I am told.

I don't really work nine to five, but I was trying to get the song stuck in your head. Did it work?! I have been doing the morning shifts (4a.m. to 12:30p.m.), but I'll start nights this weekend.

More about this later. Apparently, there are people (ah hem) tapping their fingers until I get this posted!

  9. This is like one of those "don't blame the messenger" things isn't it? Honestly, I never blame the lab people--it's hard to imagine a less fun thing to do than be poking people at the ass crack of dawn or otherwise.

  10. Thanks for the song... Now I have it suck in my head!

    Good luck with the new job. I either love you blood suckers or hate you. Some people have quite a talent for drawing blood. I love when I get a good one. And others, well, they need to get a new profession. I hope you fall into the first category. (Wink)

  14. Congratulations on the new job!

    Ah, yes you would love me. You can't take it from the middle of the crook of elbow. It has to come from one of the side veins that everyone always says will roll. Trust me it's better that way.
