What a fucking night.
24 hour shifts are fun, after about eight in the evening they quieten down and I can generally hangout with the A&E staff and eat their biscuits. Last night was none of this, although there were biscuits. I have had 3 1/2 hours sleep and spent most of the night waiting for a really uncommunicative doctor to let me know what was going on. By five thirty this morning I was about as close as I've ever come to being too tired to do my job. When my relief came in at nine I was listening to The Defiled on the speakers in the department in order to stay awake. It was almost like the scene in the Simpsons where Apu is so tired he thinks that he is a hummingbird. Because there's a Simpsons quote for every occasion.
I do not recommend visiting a mortgage adviser while severely sleep deprived. But I did find my old Smashing Pumpkins Zero t-shirt this afternoon so it's not all bad.
