Weekend:
Tonight DH and I have to help out with the graduation for the next class ahead of Annabel--IOW, the ones who are going to kindergarten in the fall. I'm feeling cross and cranky about this, which probably means I have no magic in my heart or something, but I've had a long week and I'm tired and I just want to go home and relax.
Saturday my local RWA chapter is meeting, but I'm probably going to skip it, since the topic isn't that relevant to my current non-romance writing. Haircut Saturday afternoon. And hopefully getting a good night's sleep or two somewhere in there. (Did I mention it's been a long week?)
No P-C, I work in Healthcare IT. If for some reason a doctor can not get his order in to a Drug Dealer, thats where I come in.
Do people not know that IT folk are often chained with pagers? I'm surprised by how often they're still considered the purview of doctors and drug dealers, although all my employers have tried to shackle me with one.
This week has been very long, but on the upside I'll be making it into work every day, which is huge.
Someone sent me this as a picture of Shia LaBeouf for my website. Freaky manip, no? How can you even think not?

RARRGH. Horrifying Beastmaster Shia is horrifying.
Our IT people turn off their pagers when they go home-- which makes them sort of useless...
We take turns with the pager. Luckily my team is big enough that I only get it 1 week every couple of years.
I don't have to carry a pager, and I almost never get called by work outside of work hours. Occasionally we have to, say, configure a new server for a client, which has to be done on a weekend or evening or something. But that happens maybe once every few years.
Also, I meant the pagers were useless, not the IT staff!!!
I got called at home ALL THE TIME for almost every job I have ever had, because I was an "assistant", and sometimes bosses can't find things like keys, or room reservations, or how to use fax machines.

Oh, that's sweet. I've got one every 6 weeks, but it tends to be a very quiet pager.
my boss does not have my home number. I do, however, have a BlackBerry and it is expected to be on for weekends.
