work talk. again.
i'm doing 72 hours this week. i've already completed 48. its 5am. anyway, i'm crazy exausted and deck out my locker with all the toiletries i need in an event i have to sleep at the hospital. asides from that i've been getting crazy phonecalls about the wedding. i'm 4 months out. and far behind. apperently my godmother and mom is more stressed out than i am. i did complete my save the date and sent a bit out. my mom and soon to be in law is slacking on hooking me up with adresses. yah. i'm only 13 hours away from my next shift. for another 4 days (7am-7pm) stretch. i can't belive the holidays are rolling through. damn. time sure flies fast. | | Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 | | 12:36 am |
day 5, one more to go...
so i'm on day five. its started like this: friday-night, sat-night, sun-night, monday night get off 6am tuesday, tuesday evenings shift start 3pm. I have one more evening shift to go. i'm wide awake. despite only getting 6 hours of sleep, i could have stayed another 8 hours. i pretty much live at the hospital. i haven't slept in bed with don since my work week started. we've seen eachother when i get home and knock out and he gets up to go to work. its crazy. and my co-workers said they never see their significant other when they're working. its pretty weird. and its so normal to everyone. and annoyed/angry spouses has to just deal with it. plus: buster doesn't even greet me at the door no more. hes like, oh its you. you'll just pass out anyway, why bother... anyway, enough about work, work, work. i've been addicted to kid nation. i can't believe parents let their kids sign up for that. surely they do have adults around with cameras, but man, these kids are pretty much running their lil society. i'm so greatful for episodes on the internet. its the best thing ever. besides IHOP carry out. open 24 hours and just a block away from the hospital. | | Saturday, September 29th, 2007 | | 3:42 pm |
two trips to hawaii this month was exausting. the days that i was home was either working or catching up on sleep. but anyway, i finally get to write about hawaii. ( Hawaii x's 2 ) | | Thursday, August 30th, 2007 | | 1:33 am |
only 3 days till hawaii. since i don't get vacation pay, i worked my ass off doing an average of 48 hours a week of both days and nights. don has been complaining that we don't spend time anymore. currently, he's camping and i made myself available to work more. dunno, its kinda a cramp in the relationship lately. but its kinda nice for once to be financially stable. almost addicting. yesterday comfirmed i fucken hate salty's sadly its located right next to the beach near our house and has the most awesome veiw. but the service is terrible. ( me hating on salty's ) | | Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 | | 3:49 am |
today i worked a day shift. it was absolutely brutal! i came home and immediately took at 4 hour nap. so i'll be coming home 2x's in sept! keep it up hawaiian air! i LOVE your $300 tickets! i'm so excited!!! i just can't hide it! jane and robert got married this weekend. their wedding was by far the funniest and coolest wedding ever! it was amazing! tomorrow get a day off. to do absolutely nothing. i have 5 weeks worth of laundry + mail to process. i wished i had enough dough to hire a cleaning lady and a cook. or somehow brainwash donny to do so. that would be dope. for sure. | | Friday, August 10th, 2007 | | 7:11 am |
every since i started working nights i can't get my sleeping schedule back to normal. On my days off I've been sleeping at 5am. Last night we went out for paul's birthday party and I got a 3 hour nap. Now i'm up at 4am. fun stuff. Yesterday after working a 12 hour shift and getting off at 630am, i had a training right after for a new software that we'll be using and soon everything will be, paperless charting. it was the worst 4 1/2 hours of my life. the guy was seriously the teacher from feris buller, "buller.. buller..." i seriously almost died. and had evil thoughts of screaming at the guy to talk faster. worst he went 1/2 hour over. ok enough about that. i could go on forever. just one more day... damnit. so i bought my tickets to hawaii for sept. it was for an amazing price, $300!!! I'm surprising my dad for his 60th. I already told him i couldn't come with the new job and all. He's having a big party at some hotel. a little over the top. but whatevas, he's turing 60! anyway, i can't wait! only 3 more weeks! whOOHOooHoooo! p.s my glasses broke and i haven't put i n my contacts. please forgive me for any typos. bad grammar also. | | Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 | | 9:20 pm |
i just finished my 4 night, 12 hour, 630pm-700am stretch. today i got to sleep in till 5pm and woke with the narliest headache. but 4 advils cured it. i love night shifts. they're such a different scene. all my co-workers are so fikken awesome that it make work so fun. the one thing i do HATE about the hospital is that every worthy site is BLOCKED! myspace, all games, ebay, craigslist, livejournal... so all net use i do is searching for a new house, reading newpapers, and amazon. sucks. oh well. one night for shits and giggles i checked out hawaii houses. my co-workers couldn't belive the fact that 900,000 houses looks super modest. and 1,000,000 house doesn't look like 1,000,000. The seattle housing market is starting to get expensive. trying to buy a house closer to the city is impossible without a 3,000+ mortgage. so yah. i'm trying to get used to the fact that we may be here in the burbs for awhile. so i hadn't really seen don till today. he was dirtbiking all weekend and i worked sunday night. then when i saw him in tuesday coming home from work he ran stright to the bathroom puking. it took him 2 days to recover. he said he started feeling sick after eating one of those premade sandwhiches from starbucks. gross. | | Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 | | 5:46 pm |
warning: extreme whinning...
so today i turned 27. it so happened that also, 2 other people from work were born on th same day. i've only met one person in my life with the same b-day. suddenly there's 2 more. i was bless with the day off. but worked till 11 last night and work tomorrow at 6:30am. my crazy schedule. next week i work 3 12's with a perceptor then i'm on my own. Last friday I got my first 2 week pay-period paycheck. it was super depressing that the government took out 600 bucks in taxes and my year-to-date was 800. super craziness. don said welcome to the real-world. i asked my preceptor about it and he said, "thats it". i dunno. its crazy. ok enough, tax whinning. so today i guess don's taking me to this restaurant near the beach near our home. i've been wanting to go there forever. ok. back to being depressed, getting older. sucks ass. | | Sunday, June 24th, 2007 | | 9:30 pm |
in less than 12 hours i sart my new job. i'm a little scared since it will be probationary period, so if i don't meet their expectations i could easily be dropped. the HR lady surprised me with an even bigger offer than i expected. not including my differentials. i've been already calculating how many days i would need to work in order to buy my dream truck, 42" flat screen tv, a ski trip to europe, etc... dunno. its exciting and scary at the same time. and all just happening so quickly. so this weekend was pride. my co-worker invited me and a few classmates to watch the parade. it was kinda lame with election canadates, toyota and yellow book enorsements. i think the was less than 4 drag queens and the straight people in the parade out numbered the gays. i know. weird. then we walked to the seattle center, waited in line for an hour to eat crappy, food court, thai food. my stomach has been aching ever since. | | Friday, June 22nd, 2007 | | 11:56 am |
HOLY CRAP!!! I PASSED!!! now just waiting for the HR lady to call and officially say, "would you like to take the position." whOOoohOOoooOhoOOOo! | | Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 | | 7:03 pm |
in less than 20 hours i take my boards. i'm scared shitless. i've been too busy planning my wedding and grad party that i only dedicated 3 days of studying to cover 2 years worth of context. sigh. i wished my future employer wasn't in such a hurry for me to pass and get certified to work. i guess thats a good thing. but if i don't pass, they won't be my future employer, in which they informed me, "if you don't pass. you shouldn't be a therapist." yes, the pressure. ok. back to studying. | | Friday, June 15th, 2007 | | 3:19 pm |

back in the cold.
we got 6" of snow fall last night. we were in the mountains snowboarding with only light snowfall. it was nice to come home seeing snow. interesting seeing the highways litered with abandon cars. it was a lil spooky. so i have a mini vacation no school till tuesday, but a load of assignments to do during the break. boo. it dawned on me that i'm almost done with school. i have winter quarter, only 5 days of spring break thanks to ACLS classes. then spring, then graduation, then my boards, then serious wedding planning. whew. hawaii was awesome. i didn't get to do everything and see everyone, but i should be back again this summer. we still have a broken roof. the insurance gave us enough money to get it repaired, however, contractors have a 3 month back log. boo. anyway, i had a million dollar idea today while walking in the snow... open a how to drive in the snow school. i'd be rich. | | Monday, December 18th, 2006 | | 3:19 pm |
recovering...
being without electricity has made me more appreciative of the little things like, heat! so we had this narly wind storm in the western-washington area. so on thursday night don and i got all dressed up for his company party, to get a call while we were on the freeway, "party cancelled i-5 is flooded!" i was a lil salty since i hate spending time getting ready=time wasted. so we spent the night ordering in and watching tv, until power went out. around 1 we were in bed and heard a crash. the wind had been making interesting sounds all night, so i thought it was a neighbors tree. don and i got up, and flashed light through our office window to find tree branches blocking the view. yah, so massive craziness. we went outside to assess the damage to find both of our pines laying on our house. the next day we waited around for the tree guys who said they were coming at, "early afternoon" but came 30 minutes before sunset. they rolled up in a hundai! 3 guys with chainsaws in the trunk of their car! super sketchy, but the phonebook said "liscenced and bonded." they said they'd do the job for $1700 bucks. we're pretty desprite and tell them deal. they get on our roof, and butchered the shit outta the tree. not even concerned about causing more damage. in which, more holes were poked in the roof. they only took the tree off the roof. now we have branches and tree parts lying around. they estimate a crew to come in 2-3 weeks. 3 days without power = 3 days without doing dishes (i've been spoiled with a dishwasher), vacumming, and doing laundry. i think i'll be spending the rest of my days cleaning before leaving for hawaii. yesterday we spent the entire day with don's family since we won't be here for x-mas. i fell super bad for taking don away for the holidays. and even more bad that his mom will have to deal with the aftermath of the windstorm for us. we got to open our gifts! i got hooked up with a resturant quality pan that i've been eyeing up for months, tons of socks, magazine subscriptions, and SCRILLA! much needed for hawaii. i'm so blessed to have his family in my life. you're not just marrying a husband, but his family also. so we'll be in hawaii this friday. i'm trying to talk donny into getting a few tans in before then. he's super white and i don't want him to turn super red. only 4 more days till warm weather!!!!!! here's some pic of our poor house:  uprooted!  our poor neighbors will have to stare at this for a while. | | Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 | | 12:26 am |
after a crazy last weekend. this weekend was what i needed. relaxing, stress free, along with drama-free friends. + my monday clinical was cancelled giving me an extra day to lay around and do nothing. felt good. i have one more clinical day.. then off for the rest of the week... oh yah. so a few of my friends got puppies. i was so proud of buster for being a good host. he didn't jump on them or play rough and even let them play with his toys and eat his bones. he's such a good dog.  | | Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 | | 8:20 pm |
netflix sucks. they have bee completely slacking. i sent in the dvd's last friday and i just got the notice today that estimated arrival is this friday. suckas. so in the mean time i've been spending countless hours on ebay, amazon, and craigslist gearing up for the snowboard season. i've been working full time during my five week school break that my bank account is actually in the + side. amazing. school starts on monday. my boss is letting me come into the office after school to answer phones and study. i gost my pediatric rotation this quarter. and dreading it a bit. i'm seriously afraid of kids. i'm afraid i might drop them. i get to go home for xmas for the first time in 4 years. whats even crazier is that my brothers are in hawaii. so this will be the first christmas together since i was 7. they were off to college by then. and never came home together. just one at a time. i'm counting down the days. we seriously need a vacation. i talk to my dad today. he;s considering buying a 1965 chevy sting ray. that needs a lil work. i'm scared cause he's not a mechanic and i don't think he realizes the upkeep of that kind of car. plus they converted their garage into a familyroom. who wants to keep that kind of car outside? so i spent half an hour trying to talk him out of it.. but how can you kill a dream? craziness. |
