it was a nice party. it's put on by the surgeons for all of the OR. good food, plenty of boozin' and lots of door prizes. historically, spouses were not invited, and there were many scandals that people still whisper about. but this year things seemed pretty low key. no one had lit anything on fire or streaked across the room or anything when we left at 10pm. i'll find out on monday if i missed anything juicy after we left.
i'm feeling more and more a part of the group. this last couple weeks has just been fun at work. i love being on the floor and following patients over time. getting to know them and managing them medically...it's fun for me. and then usually getting to scrub for a short while in the afternoons. it's a nice variety. but my floor work is over and i'm heading back to the OR next week. i'll rotate back onto floors in another few months. on the next schedule i'll also start taking call and working afternoon shifts and all the other dubious honors that mean i'm official now. :)
plus, did i mention that i had a mini nervous breakdown this week? my house being a mess, not having decorated yet, etc, etc....it all caught up with me and i freaked out with fatigue and the stress of constantly being on the go and never having any time at home. so, regrettably, i'm missing out on a fun event with my parents and some time w/ my extended family. but happily, i'm checking items off my to-do list here at home. sigh. holiday time chaos got me again, i guess. :)
