Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Nights
Whilst during the day we have our regular clients; people who’re lonely, people who’re not really sick but call an ambulance for the company, people who’s GP can’t be bothered to go out so sends an ambulance instead. During the night we get a different group of regulars. There seem to be several varieties, but…

Running a little behind with updates….
As you might have noticed I’ve been a little slack with updates; this is because of nights. Well, that and actually doing things with my time when I’m not working, which makes updating somewhat less easy. Anyhow, so here’s a bit of an update: Computers, still not working properly. I reinsalled OS X on the…

So, thoughts.
I know, I’ve become one of those become one of those people who rarely updates. I think that’s because, well, most of the time I’m busy and really any of my spare time I want to spend with Kathryn. I don’t hugely want to spend time writing about what I’bve been doing. Because at the…

Update
Um, somewhat of a lazy title – but lots has been going on here. The last week has flown past; I’ve had a lot of hard shifts at work, and a very good shift – I’ve finally started suturing. I can now officially say that I’ve put people back together. Not necessarily very well… But…

1 Week, 1000 Miles
This past week’s been a really interesting and incredible one. Kathryn finished her course and moved down to Slough last Tuesday; and y’know what I’m very happy. James commented that we smile a lot (“You both grin like mad things”) – and y’know what, it’s true. Somehow I just feel happier. Sorry, I realise that…

Now, that’s just mean
So I’ve got Brick back, and the Mac is now at least booting; although I need to reinstall again once I’ve moved some files about (to save them from a more thorough nukeing). But now the Laserjet’s died. “50 SERVICE” is all it says now; which appears to be most likely to be a fuser…

End of Nights
So, one week of nights over. I have a good nights group – although sadly two of ’em are leaving. Unfortunately, also, I have my usual post-nights malaise. I have a sore throat and feel generally like I have a head-cold approaching. At any rate, here’s a link courtesy of James. I’m going over here…

Well trodden path
There’s been loads written about nights in the emergency department in the UK, and quite frankly it’s pretty much all true. We get an astonishing amount of dross through the doors, many of whom claim that people have ‘spiked their drinks’ – before explaining that they’ve had 6 pints, ‘a few’ shots, and maybe a…

I think the technical term is ‘whoops’.
So, I managed to stay up ’til 4:30ish, which is pretty good for swinging my bodyclock round. Distressingly the big-sheets of cardboard behind the curtains had too many holes in (or it was too sunny), so I think I’ll have to put a little more effort into stopping light ingress. But still I managed to…
