    Well......I did stick to my floor near the fridge.....but that's a quick wipe up! :) I also just learned I have an unplanned 5 days off. Thought I was going to have to work a day in the middle.....but yipee!!! Does the JanRN mean you are a nurse?? I recognize the work schedule if you are. :) Who else gets to work weekends and holidays on a regular basis?
    I'm an RN. My dept. is open M-F with weekends and holidays covered by "on-call"...so yes...I do call about every 4-5 weekends and have one "major" holiday call per year. July 3'rd is part of my "weekend call", I also was on-call Saturday of Easter weekend, and my holiday call is New Years Day 2011.

    And BTW...July 3rd is our wedding anniversary! And I get to spend it on-call and most likely at work! :(

    The joys of being a nurse...
    Happy anniversary. My daughter has same ann. date.
    they will be married 40 years and left today for a short vacation.

    We all suffer from the same illness. I even had a conversation with my husband and referred to my "online friends". He thought I was nuts.

    I agree with you. The board does take time to read and respond to the posts. I love it though. Such nice people and great photos of quilts and projects! I have learned so much about new patterns, color matching, tools and fabric. I don't feel guilty one bit! I think of it as being in a guild. That takes tons of your time too. Right?
    I think there are limits to our time, and I try to balance it out the best I can between family, garden, home, sewing and the board! LOL!

    I have picked up lots of ideas and hints since joining the Board. Have no one to bounce ideas off of, so this really fills the bill.

    I know what you are talking about working weekends, holidays, whatever. I worked 13 years for the phone comlpany in operator services. No regular hours or shifts there. I hate holidays and weekends just because had to work them so much.

    Been there, done that.
