It's Friday and I have to work. Boo. I really would like the day off, but that isn't going to happen. Apparently today we're going to do some trainings. We're going to be getting a new, hopefully better phone system that'll crap out less often, so we're going to get traininigs on that.
Our Epic update just went life, and I hate it. I don't know if I mentioned it. They completely changed the flow for our calls, and it's annoying as all fuck. It's not unusable, but it's pretty counter intuitive and doesn't seem to make any great changes. *shrug*. I have no idea what they were thinking. Maybe it's a good flow for the rest of the non radiology teams, but it sucks for us. And, they were up our boss's ass about our calls being too long, and this is just going to make them longer. That was the reason we couldn't have more people--because the workers we have aren't meeting the bullshit metrics that they want us to.
Thanksgiving was good. I started cooking at 10am, making stuffing and then getting out the bird. I'm not sure it was realy 12-15lbs. It seemed rather big. Might just get a breast next time, or a smaller bird. When it came out, it looked amazing. Just perfectly browned and sitting on it's big rack.

In practice, it was a bit dry, and needed more salt, but overall had a nice flavor. Between the three of us, we managed to eat about 3/4 of one side of the breast. The custards had absorbed some more flavor, though the topoing was a bit gummy from the fridge. The gravy and side dishes were very good though.
Had that with a little bit of Mt Hope Winery's Niagra wine, which is my favorite. When we go up, we will need to get some more. I feel like I should take a shopping cartand just start stacking booze. I know I want more coconut rum cream, that shit was awesome. I used up all the spiced rum mini I had, so I need more of that. I'm hoping for eggnog, and maybe I'll get a good whiskey. Then, some wine and cider and maybe a growler of Irish Red. I used to like Killian's Red, so we'll see.
This weekend, we mostly have games. None tonight, but two tomorrow and one on Sunday. Next week, I work 8 hours Mon-Wednesday. Thurs I work four hours in the afternoon, since Jess has a post op in Sibley. Then I go get a tattoo for 3 hours. And Friday 4 hours in the morning. Then, I will be free for the weekend and a trip to Pittsburgh for Steel City Comic Con.
I think tomorrow, we also may make another trip to the nursery and see what they have in the way of wreaths. Last week, they only had 2 wreaths out. I'm hoping by waiting a week, they'll be a bit more up to speed. We go to a small nursery where an old woman makes all of their wreaths, so I'm hoping that gives her enough time.
Okay, time to get ready for work. Everyone have a stellar Friday!
