I can't cook garlic bread so how can I save lives?

I should be in bed. I have 2 more nights left to work. I am tired.

I got home at 10am this morning and put some garlic bread in the oven. I was so tired I thought I'd lie on my bed whilst I waited 15 minutes for my breakfast/dinner to cook.

The next thing I was aware of was waking up at 1.30pm in a room full of smoke and the fire alarm screaming in my ears. And now I can't sleep because it has been a really nice sunny Spring day. So I will be very tired when I start my 13.5 hour shift in 4 hours time.

Maybe if Patricia Hewitt knew what actually went on in her hospitals she would give a toss. I challenge either her or one of the multitude of drones she employs to come and shadow me for one night at work.

Still, at least I have taken the next week off as annual leave (would be nice if I was provided with some time off after 7 nights in a row, but never mind. I am delighted to use up my limited annual leave to recover). I am going to leave the country for a few days and party like a MF with the Lost Doctor.

Oh yeh, hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day. I was working nights and the love of my life was on call in a different hospital from 9am to 9.30pm.
Happy Valentine's Day Mrs Hewitt.
