Start this for people to let off steam about the days happenings, work, or whatever is on your mind that's ticking you off.

Dealing with some medical patients is killing me. It's not the ones who need equipment, it's the ones that take advantage of the system or such. Take for example: One patient has been nagging us to no end the past week to be upgraded to continuous 02. What does he do? Walks (yes, walks) to his dr's office and asks to be tested, and of course, after walking that distance, qualifies. First off, if he's able to walk to the dr's office, my guess is that he doesn't need 02 that much.

Arch Coal loves Saturday. If you get one a month off, you are lucky. Maintenance usually will get 4 or 5 Sats a year off, not counting holidays and vacation. It is just the way they do things. But it does get old.

I hate being on call every other week. Can't hardly do anything when your on call bc you got to make sure you are close enough to the warehouse that when one of these coal mines calls and are broke down you can get your ass up here fast and get em their part. Especially hate being on call on the weekends, I look forward to sleeping in every Saturday and BOOM every Sat morning bout 7am the beeper goes off.

I have no sympathy for people who don't keep their dogs on their own property and then get mad when you tell them to keep them off of yours. If I can keep a AmStaff/Boxer mix and an English Pointer on my own property, you can keep your friggin Beagle on yours.

Walking around near my house or outside at work and seeing cigarette butts all over the ground. Nothing ticks me off more than people who are too lazy to put them in the trash.
