I'm still learning the in's and out's of the clinical side of work. Still searching when something is needed stat. I need to...

So this weekend consided mostly of me sleeping and cleaning my house. I woke up Saturday and attended the conference that I was to speak at. Not a bad thing, had a good time seeing old co-workers and talking to old friends. So afterward I came home and passed out on the couch. Such a good nap. You know one of those naps when your...

Whoa, you are a good employee! However, I would have done the same, and then proceed to kick myself for the next six weeks. I love medicine, but I hate people(I am a misanthrope, not an asshole). I want to be a surgeon, but lack the self-confidence and drive to get myself there at this time. I guess I figure I've got enough life to live that I can fuck around pretending like its hard or something for a while until I pull myself up by the the puss hair and get on with it already. You intrigue me!
In Brandon Lee's Final interview he quoted this from the book Sheltering Sky:
...because we will not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is...

So I took my Chem Test today. Showed up an hour early and sat there and once I started hearing people talk about getting D's and C's on the test, I reached for my iPod, allowing Portishead to drown out the chatter that would certianly driven my nerves into "high twitch" mode.
I've never been so jittery after a test. Time winding down. I clicked...

Ok so my prediction for work today didn't happen. But I ran my ass off taking EKGs and learning the ins and outs of being an ER tech. I think I've reached the point to which I know what to do, I just have to start gaining experience by doing it.
I came home to a disturbing IM and an even more upsetting PM. A...

So today was day two at being a tech at work. After doing my usual secretary stuff I change into scrubs and hit the ER running. I got to stick some patients, draw blood. I think i'm getting better but hey I know I shouldn't speak so soon.

So today all the partying and sleep deprivation I've been doing has caught up to me. DAMN I'M FUCKING EXHAUSTED! Work wasn't too bad but class today was really confusing. Sometimes I just wish professors will slow down when they know what they are teaching is confusing, hard to grasp shit that you need a Ph.D to understand.
So today has been one big cracked...

So where the hell have I been....
Friday I left to New Orleans picking kimmy up on my way. The drive was a lot longer than I though but damn it was worth it. After checking into the Hotel around 9:30pm, 11 hours later, Kimmy and I were off to the French Quarter to meet up with my net buddy Lila and her dad. The...

Damn! I miss New Orleans bad! Mardi Gras is nothing next to Carnaval, though, and I'm not into flashing for beads. It's such a great city, though! Lucky you!
So today was my first day of orientation as an ER tech. What a fucking day. From seeing old ladies naked to a 5 yrd with burns over 80% of her body the high point of my day was that I learned to draw blood. YES I know how to use a needle, hit a vein and fill vials full of yummy blood
