I used to be mildly annoyed by patient standbys, but when you have nearly 3 month's worth in less than a week and a half, it gets really fucking old, really fucking fast. Especially when they mostly involve frequent fliers. WTF people? If you want psychiatric help, GO TO A PSYCH HOSPITAL. . . we don't have the capacity for that kind of crowd, nor do we have the proper staffing for that kind of thing. I'm so sick of standbys.

On top of the two that we had today, there was a rather interesting incident that occurred in the parking garage today that killed an hour and a half of the shift. A person turning to park in a space had the front driver's side tire fall off. It didn't completely separate from the vehicle, but it certainly wasn't properly attached anymore. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but it was parked diagonally in the middle of the driveway to and from a certain level of the garage. I was redirecting traffic to the employee parking area. Luckily only a few people argued with me about wanting to go the direction they couldn't. I explained that if they wanted to be part of a demolition derby, then they were more than welcome to go where they wanted to. Otherwise, they had to park in a different area.

Needless to say, today was busy. It's like the complete opposite of what happened yesterday. At least it was Wednesday and my coworker is a no-nonsense, straight to the point type of guy who gets his shit done and doesn't take shit from people. I kind of wish he worked day shift instead of swing shift, but it is what it is.

After work, I came home and napped. I had a minor headache from the fact that I hadn't had time to hydrate myself throughout the shift. It helped slightly, but I had to keep drinking water once I woke up. I will actually probably be going to bed early again tonight. My computer decided to update stuff last night {even though I set it up to update only at 5am since I'm awake at that time anyway ...} so I woke up in the middle of the night with the bright ass light of my screen in my face. It took a while to fall back asleep.

Alright, I think that's it for today. It's a little longer than most of the other recent entries, or most of them in general, but I needed to rant about today. It was ridiculous. Here's to hoping that tomorrow is as calm and easy as yesterday.

Until then. . .

How does a steering wheel fall off? o_o
