well, i have outdone myself. i was on call this past weekend, and i will be on call tomorrow for my regular week day call, well i had to get switch my call while i will be out of town (trade around a little). so i get to take call tonight too, so 4 days in a row. working 96 hours in a row before i go on my trip. good thing i was so excited i got almost everything packed over a week before the trip.
my ankle/foot is a little better today. still hurts a little. i had an x-ray taken of it today and nothing suspicious really showed up.
i did get my satellite phone in the mail too. that thing is almost as big as an old bag phone. a phone booth would be lighter to carry around.
the thought of the day is this: even when you are getting close to going on a trip or leaving for a while, do not get in a hurry and get sloppy. finish the things you are working so that no one will need to ask questions about it. that way you do not have to worry about it when you are away and it doesn't stress others out to try and get it done for you. i always try to do this, but, inevitably, there is always one or two little details that i miss. it always seems the day before i leave everything goes crazy and i have to deal with twice as much. but i do my best because i don't want to stress others or make them work harder than they need to.
