2 days in lab hell...man am I tired and not sure what to do...

[magical thyme]

Long story. Basically, night tech and then early morn tech and lab assistant made a series of eff -ups. Moi inherited the mess yesterday, and just spent yesterday afternoon and, after a near sleepless night, all morning repairing the damage while getting my ass chewed out by the ICU nurse and respiratory tech who don't realize that I didn't make the mistakes; I inherited them and was fixing them.

Anywho, the lab assistant is a nightmare and my nemesis. I never complain about her because she is the asshat who set me up to be stalked by her friend, the brain-damaged alcoholic divorced janitor. She is champion pot-stirrer and shit-flinger when she finds herself in trouble, which happens relatively often because she is too busy schmoozing with her friends and whoever to actually pay attention to her job. And I figure if I complain about her, they'll just chalk it up to revenge for her setting me up to be stalked.

So the lab assistant who spent yesterday in hell with her and all this morning worked her butt off to help me fix the problems spent an hour on the phone with the LA supervisor. I decided to protect myself from the pot-stirrer/shit-flinger, and also from any doctors or nurses or respiratory techs who decide to throw mud my way (when they also made a mistake and I bailed them out of that) I'd better leave the lab manager a note on my version of events and how I came to be associated with this clusterfuck (er, I answered the phone ).

I'm debating calling the early morn tech to give her a heads up that pot-stirrer -- with whom she is known to have an ongoing all-out war going -- is going to be slinging shit like crazy once the supervisor confronts her over the weekend "party." Early morning tech was one of the two techs that was willing and able to train me when I first started, unlike the ones who refused or sabotaged me. She has bailed me out more than once, and was very forgiving the 2 times I looked at the wrong month calendar and was very, very late to work leaving her to do am in-house specs all by herself.

Actually, I've just realized I still feel indebted to her. Hopefully she won't think I'm nuts for giving her a heads up.

Thank you for reading. Or not. man am I tired...my feet and legs hurt...
