People I See

There are two famous people that I see frequently at work. Well, they look like the Hollywood stars.

Darnell, the Crab Man from My Name is Earl rides the same bus that I do. He always has a smile in his face just like in this picture. For some reason, he also carries a blue duffel bag wherever he goes. I invariably wonder what it is that is inside.

The other person I see is Dr. "Ducky" Mallard from the hit show NCIS. Why, he eats breakfast in the same cafeteria that I do. He even takes a fiber suppplement for *cough* umm, well I better not say. He wears green scrubs daily, and just looking at him, I would peg him for a pathologist.

I'll be sure to add more "stars" as I see them.

One of my favorite nurses at work comes up with the strangest conglomeration of words. This week it was: monkeyfool. As in, "them kids actin' like a monkeyfool" I always bust out laughing when she says this, it never gets old to me . Thanks DeDe for brightening up my day. I'm looking forward to next week's new word.

I hate that I don't have a computer at home and that I have to wait until the weekend to go to the library to update my blog. I've tried writing down interesting things that happen during the week but even that falls to the wayside. And telling someone to "hold on a minute before doing anything to that compound because I just remembered something for my blog and have to write down now before I forget" just isn't going to cut it. I guess I'll just have to keep up with my bi-weekly visits to the library and fight the snotty nosed kid and the rebellious teenager for the computer because "IT'S MY TURN!"

Welcoming the Year of the Rat!

Have you hugged a rat today? If you didn't already know, February 7 marked the beginning of the year of the rat. It includes those who were born in 1960,1972,1984, and 1996.

GRE vs ACRP

Back in October I briefly talked about studying for the GRE. Yeah, that hasn't happened. I'm still vacillating between studying for the GRE or for the ACRP exam. Eh, I'm young I've got time.

Eat your heart out Martha

I found accent pillows for my bedroom, that also tie in with the bathroom colors. Who knew I could get so excited about pillows?

I really like the tree and how the orange ties in with the other pillows.

It's off to work we go

In the clinical world I have been keeping busy with multiple studies and have taken (been given) the responsibility of writing and rewriting job aids. I've also been given the go-ahead to cross train on phlebotomy; something I'm very excited about. I've been a pin cushion for nurses and other phlebotomists recently and have been wrapped up to my eyes in a rainbow of colors of Coban. Fortunately, arms were ordered so I will no longer have to endure anymore sticks. This past week, I was allowed to observe a muscle biopsy. To some, this is nothing more than routine, but for others, myself included, its something you don't get to see everyday. There is also some juggling of resources going on at work. People are being transferred in and out and there will definitely be changes. Expect a post about it later.
