twilight33Sleep? Nonexistent.
Work at 7:30 since it's payday, become inundated with questions about a new pay premium that's retro to November 16th last year for about 100 of my employees.
Try to call home to check on Ryan & Kieran for a mid-morning break, no answer. Try again & again & again & again for an hour and a half. Sleep deprived imagination gets the best of me as I envision Ryan crumpled in a heap at the bottom of the stairs or dead from an aneurysm or something & Kieran screaming....
Email Ryan, check voice mail to find a message from another dr. in the same group that saw Kieran last week for his eye (the one who saw him is on vacation today). Culture came back positive for bacteria, prescription is called in to the pharmacy.
Ryan emails back, our phone line is dead... yet DSL works?
Get home, Ryan goes to work, I get Kieran & go to the pharmacy. Pharmacist agrees with me that eyedrops for an infection on an eyelid surface seems odd, but the dr. has gone to lunch. Suggests going home & calling her in an hour so she can check with him.
Call Qwest on cell phone, they confirm line trouble after a test and say it will be fixed by noon tomorrow.
Pick up phone out of curiosity after an hour, it works. Call pharmacist, who hasn't called dr yet, and since the phone works she'll call me back. Get a call back not from the pharmacist, but from a nurse who says the dr. wants to see Kieran as soon as possible.
Feed a hungry & cranky Kieran, pack him up and go back to the medical center. Grumble to self about having to shell out another copay.
Dr. sees Kieran, and says 'Oh! His eye looks great, we don't need to treat it and I'm sorry for all the confusion. I'll refund your copay.' Mood improves.
Come home, get Kieran to sleep in my arms (he's long overdue for a nap at this point), doorbell rings and wakes him up. Answer the door to find a Qwest tech there asking if the phone works. Apparently they didn't do anything to fix it? He checks our line and decides to leave the request open for a tech to check tomorrow.
Get Kieran to sleep again. Wonder where the afternoon went. Ponder going to take a nap too.
