Community

So, This must be brief as I must study for my Community Nursing exam.

Game Night has become interesting. We've had one, yet everyone wants to continue them. Problem is, when. More to come on that topic.

I've been up and down lately as far as my mood is concerned.

Jameson and I had out pictures done. Out of 100 or so we were given around 40, and out of those 40 I found maybe 3 that I liked. *sigh*

The two you see are examples of those.
In other news today starts my new goal. First: I will try to go to the Y at least once a week. (I like to take baby steps.) Then I will progress from there as I have time. That is my issue at the moment. I never have time to go.

Thats about it for now.

GAME NIGHT

My friends and I have decided to start a game night. It took one of us having a birthday party for us to figure out that we all like playing games. So, needless to say, Friday night was our first "game night" with many more to follow I am sure. We had a lot of fun, I had class that day so I was up at 6am and then game night didn't end until around 1am... Staying up until 1 am normally would not be an issue if it weren't for the fact that I had to wake up at 5am the next morning. Still, that wasn't so bad. I went to work, came home, had a dinner party with the parents and in-laws... they left around 8ish or 9. Jameson and I went to bed and slept until 10am today because of the tiring weekend. Now, however, we have to get back to the real world.

MONOPOLY

So, Jameson and I have been playing Monopoly Deal like crazy. Guess that's what happens when you have nothing to do and no money to do it.

Class today went well. I had my first test today and got an 83%. Not terrible. Work tonight.

That's about it.

Ciao.

"It's a Tooosday, and We're not open on a Tooosday."

Right, so today is my first clinical for my Community Nursing course. I arrived at the school I will be working for (for the next 3 weeks) only to be sent back home. They are on a 2 hour delay.

*sigh*

More to come when I get home tonight.

So, clinical went well, work went ok... Tomorrow I have class and work so, not much going on.

Mi Vida es Loca y Muy Insana

Rant: I woke up early because I had to wor in Bellville at a different store today. So I get there at 10 til 8 and they have no clue that I am supposed to be there. Great, just friggin great. So JJ calls Jo to ask if she is actually coming in or if she has the day off. No answer. So she calls Tony. He says I am supposed to be there but calls Matt to find out. Again, no answer. So I sit around for 30 minutes unti Jo calls back ans says that, yes, she is coming in. So I have to go back to my store to work. My hours this week went from 31 (and a $200 check) to 25 (and a much less than $200 check) And rent is due... as well as 4 other bills...

So I went to a birthday party tonight. I didn't really want to go at first. I am kind of a home body and I don't really like to go out unless I go out in the early afternoon and just stay out. After about 7 or 8 pm I pretty much want to stay home, like I said, unless I am just already out. I had some fun but to be honest, I am inda tired of always being brought down. I mean, here is blunt honesty and then there is just being mean. I understand that sometimes I bring it upon myself but I hate that I am always being put down. Still it was nice to get out of the house and have some semblance of a good time.

School is going... well, its going. I've already turned in two papers. I have a timeline due Thursday as well as a test and I have an ATI and a test on Friday. Somewhere I have to start fitting in time to work out.

Well, I guess I'd better attempt to get some sleep.

Goodnight Cyberspace- think of me and wish me luck.

Act I Scene II

My pillow felt so comfortable under my head that I new I must be awake. I looked at my phone and read 0023. I closed my eyes and wandered back into the realms of fantasy and occasionally fear. Now, repeat scene. I for some reason continuously woke up last night. Finally at 0400 I decided I would stop attempting to fall asleep again and stayed there until 0430 when I actually had to get up. The shower was glorious this morning! I love hot water! So much for the good part of my day.

Act II Scene I

Work. Pergatory. Servitude. This was a long day. Over all it was not even remotely as bad as other days that I have had but still. My first break was at 0700 and that was just way too early. We were so slow that it was boring. Everything was caught up and so it was hard to stay busy yet still work. The only projects that could keep you busy were the kind that required hands on-elbow grease yet you still had to be 100% into running your position. Second break at 1100. My wonderful husband came and ate with me. Then later my parents showed up. That was a nice surprise. After lunch we had a bus and 4 church vans... Now dont get me wrong, I appreciate customers and feel that they are essential in my acquiring a paycheck but when they trash the dining room I get angry. There is no reason to be a slob just because you are eating at a fast food joint.

Act III Soliloquy
[darkened stage, spotlight, gentle music] ent. Star

Why? Why do you treat the cashiers as if they are uneducated. Do you not know that this job pays my way through college. Did you go to college? Why do you treat us as if we will only screw up your order, and you come in expecting failure? Do you not realize that I will ring your order exactly as you say? Why do you yell at me when you were the one who forgot to order a part of your meal?

Parents, if your child does not know what they want before you pull into the lane, please order for them. Why must I reap the wrath of my boss for your inconsideration? Why must I be responsible for the fact that you were in our lane for over five minutes when you spent four and a half of them arguing with those in the car? Why must you yell at me if I miss something off your order because your screaming children were drowning you out and I couldn't hear you?

Please stop yelling at me when I ask you if you want cheese on that, fries and a drink, or if you would like to upsize your meal. Did you not know that these are the requirements of my job and that I must ask them lest I fall into trouble? Do you understand just how much I am yelled at thoughout the day? Do you realize just how much I am responsible for?

Please no not get upset when I charge you for sauces. They cost us 10 cents, so that is what I charge you. We are not making money on them, we are not ripping you off, we are just trying not to lose money.

Please, think of me. Think of the person serving you as a person. I am a human being with feelings and am doing my job the way I am supposed to do my job. If you cannot handle they way my job is done then I suggest you spend a day in my shoes.

Act IV

So I spent a good bit of time on the phone today. I am just plain exhausted. I am writing this as I am watching my husband play a game. I think I shall end this and return to realm that I so long to make reality for some of my dreams are quite nice.

Getting Started

I am not a "blogger" by nature but I do like to talk. So, in venturing away from xanga I have decided to officially "blog." This will mostly be my thoughts as they come to me, a journal of sorts. Seeing as how I do not expect anyone to read this I plan on saying whatever I want to.

Today is miserable. There I said it. The snow outside, while beautiful, makes me scared out of my wits to drive. I have class all day today and of course the school would make one class on campus and the other in Ontario at the annex... My school irritates me sometimes. Speaking of which, I found out yesterday that I have to be fingerprinted to take the NCLEX. I don't mind that they want to fingerprint me but it would've been nice for someone to tell me that I had to sign up. We have to have it done on the 18th of this month. There was no email notice, nothing. So how was I supposed to find out? The girl with me had no clue either. I get frustrated sometimes at how often it seems that I have no clue what is going on until I find someone who blurts it out to me and then has to fill me in.

Today is day 3 of winter quarter. Classes seem like they will be interesting to some degree. Work at the BK still sucks. I've narrowed it down to why. However, that is one thing I won't put in any form of writing.
