Hi Topper,

Welcome back!!!!!

When I used to be " on call " at least I got paid for this. I got to

read a lot of books during this time...Reading is the one thing that

I can put down and come back to without getting irrated by the call.

Ever so glad that I no longer have to carry a company pager!!!!!!!!1

I used to be a lot better and dropping one activity and switching to another... I'm not sure if my reaction now is getting older, thyroid or just plain tired of being treated like crap... probably a combination of the three...

I mean... How many of the rest of you have to plan things, arrange things, coordinate things so that you can get things done without falling flat on your face with 10 hours of the day left?

I figure if I can get my crap together and do things that I need to do... why do these able bodied folks have so much trouble?

Well... maybe my attitude will wake them up? Maybe?

hehehehehhee
