The work week is winding down. One more night to go...I don't feel quite as bad about having to go to the union now, as someone whom I work with who has been with the government for over 25 years, and who has never been in trouble or caused any trouble, is now finding himself in need of a bit of help...we also got in the new pyxis machines, which will take a finger print instead of a password...the nurses on one of the patient units thought the little fingerprint reader was a camera and were waving into it. We had all thought that it read thumbprints, but were told today that is HAS to be the middle finger..."How appropriate!" we all thought!

Oh, is has been SO GOOD having the kids home this week!! This might be the best I have felt since the middle of December when all of those bad things started happening...the fact that the sun has been out every day this week has been helping...and one more workday to go and then I have my kids for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
