Tick Tock

Tick tock.  I’m finished watching the clock.  I've been counting down until the fateful hour of 7pm, mentally commanding my phone to ring.  It never did, so my hopes of working tonight are dashed.  This wistful waiting is one of the downfalls of working exclusively for an agency; work is never a guarantee.  Essentially, I’m a free-lancer, so when the patient census goes down, I’m out of luck.  Thankfully, this doesn’t happen too often, but still… Nights like this can be painful.  A girl's got bills to pay!  My only consolation is that a free night equals dinner and wine with my Mouse.  So, I'm off to the store to pick out a crisp white and a nice piece of fish.  All I can do is enjoy my forces R&R and hope for better luck/employment tomorrow!
