 and what is up everybody welcome back to my channel so it's about 7 45 a.m. and i am at the airport picking up my lovely wife so she has actually been gone for the better part of a week so she was in paris this whole last week with her mom doing like a kind of mom daughter trip and all while i was working nights so basically she just wanted to get the heck out of the house while i was on nights because i never did any sleep and i'm always miserable so she and her mom flew to paris had a fantastic time so she was supposed to fly in last night but her connecting flight from paris to lisbon portugal was delayed so that delay in lisbon portugal made her miss her flight coming back home here and she was supposed to come in thursday night late work today but she had to be rescheduled on a flight this morning so now i'm picking her up so luckily i am still on my swing shift which means i don't go in until 1 p.m today so i can actually pick her up and also this is my last swing shift of my entire life and i cannot wait i cannot describe to you how much i hate this shift but i'll tell you all about that in just a minute so first let's go ahead and pick up the wife because she is about to come in right now all right so indraana is still at her gate right now so i wanted to take a little bit of time and tell you exactly why swing shift is so miserable it's also freezing out here so swing shift is from one p.m through eight p.m and the reason it's so terrible is because of the five p.m to eight p.m part of it so that one three-hour shift is pretty much the worst part of it also look at this cool little observation deck right here hold on a second so the reason it is so terrible is because the five p.m through eight p.m part of that shift is the worst so the whole radiology department leaves at five p.m which means i am the only one reading studies so that means all of the inpatients in stat high-level cases through the er are read by me now normally that's you know what i do on night shifts but the reason it's so bad is because during the weekdays all of the outpatients are scanned during the day and then that means all of the inpatient post-op patients are reserved for after five p.m all the non-stat ones and for some reason they all tend to dump at the exact same time which means like as soon as it hits like 505 i just get absolutely pummeled with non-stop studies so it's actually not that bad but i don't get any help at that time and then that's when like everything else starts blowing up and i'm the only go-to person in the hospital for radiology so it's normal working hours for the rest of the hospital but i'm the only radiology person there hold on interruption so it's just the five p.m through eight p.m shift that is absolutely terrible but today is my last one of my entire life and i have never been happier because no more stress in dealing with that crazy crazy shift but that is later today why don't we go ahead and pick up andriana because she is almost here right now so on a side note i haven't seen andriana in about two weeks now even though we live together so the first week i was on night shifts and she was on her day shifts working every day so our schedule is never overlapped she works 8 a.m to 8 p.m and i was working 8 p.m to 8 a.m so even though we were sleeping in the same household i never saw her for that entire week then she went to paris and was gone for almost a week so i haven't seen her in about two weeks even though we live together so i miss her excited to see her again so let's go ahead and pick her up i see her i see her no hon i need this in the fun because i have to give you the macarons this is my present yeah what is it macarons from two different places macarons macarons want to try them hon yeah let me try them i didn't try them the flavors i may have to try a bite of all of them oh what else is new but i just wanted to get you all different flavors let me pull over here i mean we can go we can go i just want to see them okay i just want to see what parry they're two who is that oh it's delicious i think sarcastic no oh i'm gonna destroy these okay we're gonna eat them now all right so i am officially back at home now uh indreana just left to go to work which is absolutely crazy so she's gone now i still have a few more hours till i have to go to work and it is now time for me to get some serious work done because i'm not gonna lie i've been so stressed out lately with all the stuff i have to do i think that's part of the reason i can't sleep and all that stress compiled with no sleep is kind of eating me alive currently so i just finished my seven day straight of night shift this past sunday it's now friday and i finished it's i finished at 8 a.m on sunday morning and then had to be at work on daytime shifts on monday morning so i didn't really have any time off to kind of transition over to daytime schedule the past three years when we would do our week of nights we'd only do six in a row that way i would finish saturday morning and have all day saturday and all day sunday to kind of recollect myself before switching back to days but this year we decided to do a thing where we do all seven days straight rather than have some random person come in on a weekend and do just a night shift on saturday so it's good in the fact that nobody has to come in and waste a weekend for a night shift on saturday but i've quickly come to realize it is terrible for me to transition back to the daytime life working seven days straight and no day off in between so like i said i have a lot going on right now so for one i'm finishing my night shift block so i have today's my last swing shift which i cannot wait for i'm so excited and then i do seven days of nights again starting on sunday once that's over i switched back to ir for two months then i do a cardiovascular imaging rotation and then i go to vascular surgery for a month and then i'm completely done with my residency here before i go to new york for training so i only have four months left down here and i have so much to do in that time it's like killing me so for one let's start from the top one i have three s ir projects that i'm trying to do right now so s ir is a huge ir conference that's in seattle this year and it's at the end of march secondly i have to do my taxes which i'm switching accountants this year my last accountant completely ruined our taxes i don't know what they did they told andrea she was getting all this money back and then like a day later they're like oh actually you owe that money i mean i don't know how you screw that up but and that's actually really hard to find a good accountant that i trust and getting recommendations is tough too and some of them are really expensive so we're trying to do that the fourth thing is i still have to keep up with all my content on youtube so i mean this this is probably my favorite thing to do is film all these youtube videos and edit them in my kind of usual fashion and kind of think of ideas and work with other sponsors and come up with video ideas it's it's super fun for me so i want to keep doing it in the future so but it's you know it's it's a job essentially it's a hobby but it's it's a job and i still have to do a lot of work for it and uh yeah so that's tough to keep up with but youtube is one of my top priorities right now so we're gonna keep it going oh and i also failed to mention that we're moving to new york city in four months so we don't have an apartment don't have movers i have to sell both of our cars so i have to do all that in the meantime as well and as you all know new york real estate is not cheap one bedroom apartments can run anywhere from like 2,500 on up to like five thousand dollars a month which is crazy so trying to find a good deal on those is tough in itself and new york real estate is very unique because some of the apartments can be absolute garbage and some of them can be like super high end and there's a huge price difference between them like huge so trying to find the right one is really tough and they're they're so small to begin with so trying to find a unique space with a billion of space for the price is very challenging so anybody who's lived in new york knows exactly what i'm talking about and uh yeah it's kind of crazy this this is all happening within the next four months so you know oh i also have my niece will be born in may so i'll be spending a lot of time in chicago uh so that's cool so basically basically this four months is crazy and i think that's why i'm getting no sleep because i'm just constantly thinking about everything i have to do compile that with switching between night shifts and day shifts is just kind of crazy so if i miss a week on videos that's what i'm doing i'm just running around like a crazy person trying to get everything taken care of before i move to new york city so you'll have to give me a pass if i miss a week but i'll try not to so anyways that's that i'm sorry this video is kind of like a hodgepodge of things that are going on in my life but i want to keep you guys up to date on everything that's happening in my life regardless of how crazy it is and i'm not complaining at all i absolutely love this it's just stressful and i'm trying to get through this four months because it's so hectic so hopefully you all understand so as always make sure you smash that like and subscribe button and follow me on instagram if you don't already leave a comment below
