Six Feet Under

Wow.

I never watched this show, but like many others I did watch the series finale. What a finale. I almost wish more shows ended like this. It was amazing.

The show, incase you've never heard about it, is about this family that owns and operates a funeral home. I don't really know much more about it than that. Other than the family is a little bit on the messed up side, but whatever.

I was oddly very intrigued by this show. I sort of always wanted to watch it. I remember wanting to check it out when it was first arrived, but unforunately for me I didn't have the channel to watch the show. At least I don't think I did. So when I heard the show was ending and had to keep reading how great the ending was, it was only natural to actually watch the finale.

I was able to view this episode and feel like I've seen these characters from the start. It wasn't overly special. Nothing huge or anything of the sort. Just a sort of 'this-is-how-it-goes," kind of deal.

The last few minutes of the episode was probably the best part, at least in my opinion. Other than the last 10 minutes of montage (give or take), we get to see the characters sort of getting their lives on track and affairs in order.

Eventually came the end where we get a montage of the characters lives after the show apparently ends. It was really interesting. The song was so perfect for the images and I think you should all listen to it. It's by Sai and called "Breathe Me." It's really good.

This montage was just the best way to end a show. Mind you it's the kind of ending that doesn't leave too many questions and absolutely no room for any sort of future development involving the series.

In this montage we get to see how their lives continue until their eventual deaths. There are still some questions, but for the most part you get to see that everything turned out for the better and everyone seemed happy. It was just amazing. I can't get over it. Seriously.

More shows should have endings like that. I couldn't imagine it for a lot of shows, of course, but for some, it would be great.

Well I just thought I'd share this with all of you. Just a really nice way to end a show. No huge cliffhangers (ie Angel), no blowing up towns (ie Buffy), no running from the FBI (ie Roswell), etc.. etc..

Catch ya later, gators!

Feeling the need to blog

Yes, finally.

The urge to blog has returned. It's been a long time since I really felt like blogging. Sure there was the odd moment or two of "this would be an awesome thing to post" or "I must remember to post this on my blog." Mind you when the time came, do you think I actually remembered or felt like it? Obviously not.

Right now, I'm just chilling after another day of work. Drinking homemade iced lime green tea (own recipe that tastes just like the Snapple version), watching 'the Mummy Returns' and of course blogging.

Life at work has been the same old, same old . The renovations have actually started though. So that's new. Of course, it was a sort of shock because nothing was being done and then next thing we know they're starting the next day. These renovations are still driving me nuts though. I really don't know how well my x-rays are going to fit into their new space. I guess only time will tell. Until then, I plan to groan and complain.

Had a quite unproductive weekend. I did some baking and purging of clothes, two things I don't always enjoy the end result. The baking was not for me though. It's for a lady I work with.

No, I don't go randomly baking food items for co-workers. She told me, not asked, told me I had to make her muffins for the following week. A new one each day. All of this stemmed from my receptionist going ape over some muffins (actually plum baby cakes) she baked and brought in for everyone. She got all defensive and psycho about these muffins, because we didn't eat them the moment she gave them to us. It was only 11:30 and she went beserk. So we were talking with this other co-worker about Alf, so that's where this whole "make me muffins" thing came from.

Of course, she was kidding, but just to be evil, I thought I'd actually go ahead and make her a muffin for each day. No store bought or mixes were allowed. Saturday night was devoted to this task. Midway through the baking I happened to run out of baking powder, so sadly I had to stop at only two flavours.

I tried new flavours. They're actually quite delish. One is chocolate cherry muffin and the other is a coffee cake muffin. The chocolate cherry muffins are very similar to double chocolate muffins, with the exception of cherries instead of chocolate chips. The coffee cake ones are as they sound.

This afternoon, I gave the lady from work her muffin and she laughed. I'm not entirely sure she believes me that I knew she was kidding. I found it quite amusing.

Nothing too spectacular going on. Give me some time, I'm sure I can change that, or rather I hope it changes.

I did kick my mom out of the province. I kicked her all the way to Charlottetown, PEI. Yup, got so sick of her I sent her packing. Mind you she's smart, she'll probably be back on Wednesday at approximately 10:30 pm. Then again, she might have gone on a business trip to PEI to receive an award through work. But those are small details. She has some pretty crazy flight times. First we had to leave the house around 7am to get her to the airport and then she doesn't arrive back until 10:30, what is up with that? Oh well, as long as she enjoys herself that's all that matters. Until then it's just me and the boys and dogs.....beware...

Now for some interesting posting stuff. To follow suit from Lynnsey, I too shall do the 12 tv person game thingy. So here goes...

1)Liz Parker (Roswell)
2)Dr. Derek Sheppard (Gray's Anatomy) .. or at least I think that's his name
3)Max Evans (Roswell)
4)Sark (Alias)
5)Mason (Dead Like Me)
6)Felicity (Felicity)
7)Javier (Felicity)
8)Spike (Buffy/Angel)
9)Bill (Freaks and Geeks)
10)Cole (Charmed)
11)Buster (Arrested Development)
12)Vaughn (Alias)

(PS, so many people, so little time)

1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
OMG, that would be the most hiliarious fic. No seriously. Buster and Javier. ROFLMAO!! It is that funny. See Javier is a homosexual and a little eccentric. Buster is just plain crazy. Puurrrect pair. I really enjoyed that thought.

2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Hot? I think he’s as hot as lava, and that’s pretty damn hot. How could I not? David Anders, yummmm. Plus he’s not that much older than me. What more could a girl want. I just adore him. Who cares if he’s evil. He’s delicious.

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
That....would be one messed up child. First he gets Syd pregnant now Spike *shudder*

4. Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
I’m sure it can be found. I’m assuming pretty much anything ‘Freaks and Geeks’ related would have Bill fics. So go on, read....Bill Rocks!

5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Well one is a doctor and one is trying to be doctor (after finally coming to her senses). He does have an affinity to sleeping with residents, so anything is possible. I think they’d be cute together though. I don’t think hugely passionate or anything, but cute and sweet.

6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
I’m going with Five/Nine. Five/Ten would just a little too much crazy for me. Bill and Mason would just funny. Comical endevaours at all times. It would totally be sweet. Bill would take care of Mason, aww, really adorable. Five/ten, is just a scary though. Cole would ruin Mason in seconds. But seeing how Cole was always trying to become the Source (source of all evil/ruler of the underwold), Mason would make a cute ‘Queen’ of the underworld. LOL. Now that I’m thinking about this. Five/Ten is far more hiliarous. I could see Cole changing Mason into a million things. But they’s be hot couple, no doubt. Mason as the little trophy wife. Hehehe. Bill would be more of a comfort, ultimately way too geeky for Mason. Cole would rule Mason. Either way, Mason and Bill or Mason and Cole, it’s funny.

7. What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
So let me get this straight. Javier from ‘Felicity’ walks in on Dr. Sheppard and Vaughn having sex. First all, way too much guy in this scenario. Mind you, why is it that all the questions dealing with dating, sex or whatever are all clouted with homosexuality. Hmm, maybe I used too many guys in my list (mind you, I’d sacrifice myself to have all those guys, lots of good uses....).

Well first of all Javier would probably this it was seriously hot. Hello? Patrick Dempsey and Michael Vartan, how hot is that? Plus Doctor meets CIA agent, that’s hot (sadly sounding like Paris Hilton). As characters, Javier would probably think “it’s about time,” then jump into bed between them all happy. He would most definitely join in. I’m pretty sure Samuel had dumped him by the end of Felicity, so he’s finally be happy to find some lovin, especially from those two hotties.

Of course this would never occur, not on any show, but still, it’s hot...

Hell, I’d love to walk in on them and them join them. But that’s me....

8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
“Taken from the One I Loved”
Max having been on the run from the FBI gets seperated from his group and eventually learns the FBI have found and taken Liz. He’s now on a race of time and skill to find the women he loves. While on his travels, he runs into a spiritual being, whom promises to reunite him with his true love, but only if he’ll help him reunite with his true love. While on this quest they both learn a lot about themselves and each other, leaving only one question, in the end who do they choose?

Yes, I know I choose the cute fluff route, but I’m still hoping Cole is good deep down, plus he really did love Phoebe. Oh leave me be, I think it’s cute.

9. Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
I’m almost positive there is such fluff. Hello? Cute little Liz Parker, sexy as hell Spike? WOOT! They can reminise about dying and being brought back to life, it’s all good. If ye seeks, ye shall find such fluff.

10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
“My Man Turned Out to Be Rambaldi” or “Why did my agent leave me a woman?”

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
He pretends to be Future Max, saying they have to have sex or the world will end. Oh wait, that was sort of already done.


12. Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Not that I’m aware of. Mind you Javier slash would be regular non-homosexual plots eh? Nevertheless, I’m almost positive no one does, and if they do, you’re weird.

13. Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
No, sadly I am the only one that knows of Max Evans hottness.

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
I’m thinking no. I know Lynnsey watches Arrested Development and if she wrote Eleven, she is bloodly brillant. He’s sooo neurotic, only a twisted mind could think him up. Lynnsey, you got some ‘splaining to do! Hehe

15. Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
I’m thinking no. What a weird combination. Yikes!

16. What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
“Who’s your source of evil, who?!?!”

17. If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
Well the first thing that pops into my sick mind is “I Touch Myself,” but that’s just an easy shot.
Really thinking about it, I’d have to say Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself.” It’s perfect for him. He really is all by himself. First Dru kept going after Angel, Buffy goes and dies/comes back/uses him/leads him one, then in the end, can’t tell him the truth, then sadly he had an inkling for Fred nad she went and died.. He ultimately doesn’t want to be by himself. Although he’s dead, he’s surrounded by it.

18. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Lots of whining, jumping to conclusions, and brooding. Incessant wantings and not havings. Lots of angst, beware.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
“I hear you were once the source of all evil, how would you like to be the source of all my pleasure.”

20. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
I don’t think I really have. Or at least none that I can remember.

21. What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
She’s pretty boring, really.

22. Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Well, with these two, one could not be sure. Buster was caught in bed with one of those Roomba (those little vacuums that vacuum all the time, without you pushing it, etc..). Anything is possible here. Bill might do it on a dare too. Who just couldn’t be sure with these two neurotic guys.

23. If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Max Evans, hands down. He was once the ruler of a planet. Javier breaks down at the drop of a hat. He’s that stereotypical gay guy that would be the woman. Max is just a born leader, it was his choosen destiny after all.

24. "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
“Roswell” LOL
Seriously what are the chances that my choices would ultimately have Max and Liz ending up together, in true love. That’s priceless.

I’d call it, “The Truth About Dreamers”. Lynnsey might read it because she’s the only other person that knows all of these characters. Looking at who stars in this fic, it would be pretty funny. I couldn’t really see Bill running off with Sark, but anything is possible. She would be nice enough to sleep with Buster though. But still, regardless, Liz ALWAYS ends up with Max.

25. How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
I’d think it were weird that Javier and Spike were women. Spike as a woman, that’s just wrong, on so many levels. I think we’re safe on this one.

Phew, thank goodness that is over. I swear to you that I did not alter any names on my list or read those questions before I made my selections. Every ultimately happened through the sure genius of my subconscious and luck. Actually I didn't even read those questions before I made my list, so there! Hah!

Here's a warning, this one sure takes a while. A seriously long amount of time, keep that in mind. At least it's very funny though. It keep me in stitches while doing it. Well worth it in the end. Just really time consumming.

On that note, it is time for me to jet. Later dayz my little ducklings!

A ditzy Mexican priest who died during childbirth? Wow, sure sounds like an interesting life. Now of course my death says 'in childbirth,' doesn't that mean I died as I was born? Dying during childbirth seems the appropriate term, but maybe it's just me not reading it right. Still, pretty a ditzy priest, wow.

I am alive!

Imagine myself when I learnt it had been weeks since my last actual post. I have been busy, honest.

My work weeks have proven to be no different from previous weeks. Mind you I did take a few days off and go to Grand Forks one of the weekends. Alf is still getting on my nerves. She hasn't been too horrible lately, but then she does one thing and it ruins all the "good" she has done. I guess only time will tell. Today I spent the day cleaning up the back rooms because eventually I will lose those back rooms during the renovation.

Now these renovation are supposed to happen "next week." Mind you we're told this every week. Quite frankly I'm thinking they're pulling our legs on this renovation thing. It's been "next week" since May or June. Nuts, I tell you, nuts.

Grand Forks was nice. I actually bought items that were not food items and such. It was more of a by in pairs kind of weekend, but a good one nonetheless. Lots of Manitoba license plates though, as per usual. We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express. It was nice, the breakfast was good. Next time I plan on staying at the Holiday Inn because it has a small waterpark, so yay! Mind you next time I'm going to the USA is in October when we're going down to Minneapolis (although I'd rather go on the cruise to Australia).

Then this past weekend, we had our Veronica Mars-athon. It was very delightful. I just need to get the rest of the episodes. I think I'll wait on buying the DVDs, in hopes better ones come out for season 1, including bonuses and commentaries. At least one can hope.

Man it's been so busy, I can't even remember all the things I've done. Each day has been filled with some new "adventure" and such. It's been a rollarcoaster to say the least.

Here's a crazy thought though. It's actually been a full year since I finished my schooling. What a weird concept. I can't believe it has already been that long. Who would have thought I'd be where I am today a year ago. It's all surreal. I can hardly believe that both Carla and Lynnsey both started Med School today. It feels like it was just yesterday that they were waiting for the results from the interviews or as a matter of fact just having the interviews. I'm sure they both did awesome today, and hopefully with little hazing.

Anyhoos, I need to finish some organization in my room, so I shall catch you all in the future. Ciao!

stupid quiz

Well-Rounded You have: 55% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and 55% EMOTIONAL INTUITION

The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored about average on emotional intuition and about average on scientific intuition.Keep in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of intuition you're best at. (Weirdly, your emotional and scientific intuitions are equally strong.) Your Emotional Intuition score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you're good at Quake. Your Scientific Intuition score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the sciences.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Scientific You scored higher than 99% on Interpersonal

So, if I'm "well rounded" that means I get put in the "stupid" box? I'm not sure I like this quiz....I shall retry it and see if I get better. Yet, somehow I did manage to be equal in my emotions and sciences. Weird.

Woot! at least this time I'm not in the "stupid" section. HAH! Take that!

Finally..

...suddenly I find myself, relaxed. Yes, you read correctly, relaxed. This first part of the week has been pretty destructive and hellish. Not going into details, but it's nice to not worry about certain aspects any more.

Unforunately for me, I spent the majority of my day off stuck in the mall, helping my mom find some dress pants for her P.E.I. trip later this month. Why clothes manufacturers believe all plus sized women have massive hips and asses is beyond me, but some one should inform them that not all women are the shape of a bloody pear. Granted there are quite a large number that are, but not all. Seesh.

Out shopping today reminded me why I never wanted to work in retail, more so in clothing. The clerks are all bloody idiots. This one lady is trying to get my mom to buy some clothes, that obviously are horrible looking, thinking they look great. Worse is she's telling my mom that she should buy them and then have them altered. Well what's the fucking point of buying $50 pants if you then have to go and have them altered. I just shake my head at these people.

Other than that, it's been a nice day. No annoying people, no annoying phone calls, no annoying Alf, no nothing. Phew! Even Kali *knock on wood* has been awesome. She tried to help me with my laundry by bring down a sock, but quickly forgot and brought it back upstairs. Well, at least she was trying to be helpful. Such a smart little poodle.

Finally had a brain wave about work yesterday though. As scary as the thought is, the end result, I'm sure will be well worth it. So yay me!! Well both thoughts actually but that's besides the point.

Any hoos, I'm off to do more shopping (yes you read correct!). Later dayz!

{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}

When lightbulbs attack...

What a weird and unexpected day. Don't want another one though, thanks.

First has any one had a lightbulb fall from the ceiling? I did, and it was sure weird. Karen and I were just standing there, when *poof and shatter* we find a lightbulb laying on the floor shattered in the EKG room. Really creepy. It's not even like it broke in the fixure and fell, the whole entire lightbulb was laying on the ground. Thank god, no one was in the room at the time. All I know is this place is haunted.

To make my life complete I've decide to add some minor anxiety attacks, go me!! I am so sick of this, maybe I should pack up and move to some distant land. New faces and past wiped clean, ah now wouldn't that be nice. Just me and Kali (you know I can't leave her), hitting the road and never coming back. No answering to anyone, just us rocking out. So totally the life.

Now if only I could get a time machine and change my entire childhood, or at least starting at around grade 2/3. Those were the best first 8 years or so of my life. Not that life sucks now, but it's just not as expected. Oh well, once I get to Nwat, it shall all resolve and rock. I shall be ruler. Kali and Shadow will be in the shadows keeping the town in order, while Lynnsey "makes" her way to join me in Nwat. HAH!

I just got home from seeing 'The Dukes Of Hazzard." It totally rocked. It was actually a lot better than antcipated. Luckily there was very minor screen time with Jessica Simpson. She was clearly nothing more than eye candy for the penile community, as always. But it was really hiliarious, I recommend it to all. It's definitely worth tons of laughs. The movie even passed by really quickly, which is really good because the last few movies I'd seen, it'd felt like they were just dragging on and on and on and on... Go check it out!

Went and did some more shopping today *blush* I'm sure I'll stop...eventually. No more DVDs for a very long time though (you know, until Christmas...hee hee).

I really should be in bed, but the lack of sleep is building up and causing me to very wide awake. Never good. Damn night owl-ness. Too many thoughts in my brain too, and they're not very nice ones. So conflicted. I need a conflicted bowl, where I can put them all and when I'm ready, I can take them out and resolve them. Now wouldn't that be nice. Mind you, if Sassy and Kali weren't hell bent on keeping me up at night, I wouldn't have this problem. I swear these two "guard" dogs get scared by their own shadows. Oy vey!

Looks like I'm going to try and get some sleep, not likely but oh well. Toodles...

Home Alone...

Finaly Monday is over. Not that Monday was horrible, but I was just not feeling well at all this morning. It was so bad I was walking around with my nausea bands on my wrists and sleeping on the couch in the staffroom(while no patients were around, of course). These headaches need to go!!!

In other news, my parents, I swear are trying to mess with my mind. No kidding. My mom phones me before they leave for Grand Forks, albeit due to guilt. She tells me I should still take off Thursday and Friday. Hello? Short notice. But her and my dad were thinking that if I do take it off, 1) I'll get some much deserved time off (her words, not mine) 2) they'll take me to Grand Forks for the day for shopping. I didn't really care about the shopping, plus going for the day you have to spent money for all your purchases (minus food and anything made in the USA). I told her that, plus it's stupid for them to come back and go back just because they goofed up. Suffice it to say, I said to hell with it and took the days off (they don't know and won't know until they return, but I'm going to Grand Forks).

Ah well...

Well, I'm off to find some supper. Not all that hungry, but I need food. Some good comfort food I think. Later dayz....

Sunday, Sunday.....

Another weekend done and finished. Sadly, nothing all that interesting occurred. Still conflicted as always, but what isn't new.

Theresa's unofficial/birthday/get-together was fun though. Just had a nice meal, reminisced about her and Mel's trip to Europe (lucky bums). Then returned to Lynnsey's house where we watched 'Steve Zissou's Life Aquatic." It was a funny, yet quirky movie. Mind you I did get a little distracted at time, but meh, what are you going to do?

We all even got to meet Shadow. What a little cutie. He and Kali shall unite and take over the world! Kali will be the brawn and Shadow shall be the brains of the operation. World, watch out!

So other than Saturday night, this weekend has been pretty yucky. Still feeling a little under the weather. Probably just some flu or something. Hopefully none of my friends get it, because it is fairly nasty. It's a lovely mix of sleepiness, nausea, cramps, headaches and general malaise. I seriously need a new body. Overhauling needed, stat!

I haven't completely made up my mind about the hospital yet. Mind you they did call me again this morning. As a result, no sleeping in this weekend for me. I feel horrible to always saying no, or at least since May, but I'm just so tired and the thought of not having my weekends wears me out. Sure the money was good, but do I really need to work more than 5 days a week? Probably not. I don't exactly plan on ever working at that hosptial at a later date, so there there is no point keeping my casual position. Yet like I already stated, come fall everyone is going to be busy with school and I shall reamin the only free person.

Now that I'm really thinking about it, I sort of want to keep it. Maybe it would be different if I wasn't only called at the last minute for shifts. That is partly my fault because I don't think I ever gave my new work number to the lady there. Curses, this indecisiveness needs to take a hike!

Well I have fingers crossed that perhaps this week should go a bit better. One can only hope. Mind you all 7 of the doctors upstairs are going to be in plus there are the 5 surrounding doctors in the area, so I'm sure I'll be quite busy. Well at least the days pass by more quickly. I tend to prefer days where I am busy, but busy being just steady. Not having 5 people waiting for their tests at all times. It's like working at a restaurant and having people come in at all times, leaving you no chance to catch your breathe. You start to freak out because suddenly you don't have enough hands to do everything, the place is packed and yet you want your customers to be content with the service. Then you add a phone going off at the same time, let's just say, if I couldn't multi-task before this job, then I sure as hell can now! Oh well, I guess it's the same for everyone.

Sadly no hour long walk at 7:30am today. I must say it was quite nice to be outside when there are practically no cars or people outside. Kali was excellent, it was amazing. I was a little concerned I would have to carry her home near the end, but the little trooper lasted the entire walk. She did collapse when we got in the house and went to sleep, but at least she didn't just decide she wasn't walking and lay down on the sidewalk, as she did for my dad once. I think it's funny she did that, but hey what are you going to do?

During our little walk yesterday, I had Kali on my lap and we sat on the swings. Her reaction on the swing was slightly amusing. She just didn't quite know what to make out of the whole thing.

Ever notice how growing up sucks? While Kali and I were at the park, I noticed how the park has completely changed. There is only one or two items left over from when I was a little kid. It's completely sucky now. People wonder why more little kids are more lethargic and overweight. Hello?!?! You keep ruining the parks and making them smaller, with less things to occupy the children with, all because you're afraid of a few little scrapes and scratches.

Go to any park in and the city and you'll see what I mean. I almost never see any kids at parks anymore, or at least none in my neighbourhood. I can understand change, but not making them smaller or just removing them in general. It's just sad. I used to love getting in the car or hoping on my bike and going to the park. You were guaranteed at least a couple hours of horsing around and being able to run around. Such a shame nowadays.

Well I think I'm going to check out for the night. Here's hoping tomorrow goes smoothly!

Later dayz!

On a posting binge...

Seeing how it's August and my blogging has been significantly down, I thought I'd ramble some more.

Nothing new and exciting ever happens. Just the usual craziness.

Although, my work week was intense. Tuesday was ok, until I got one patient that backed everything up. I didn't make it out of there until 5 and we had dinner reservations for 5:30. It was horrible.

Wednesday by far was the worst day. From the moment I arrived I was bombarded with patients. My only santuary was the thought that at 11 o'clock I would have help from my receptionist. So you know of course at 10:15 or so, Alf phones asking if it's ok for her to come in for one o'clock. SUUUUUrrrrreeee, why not, I only have 10 people waiting, suuuuurrrrreeeee. She sounded like crap so I said "fine." So she finally arrives at 12:45, and I'm still working. Did I mention lunch is at 12:30? Yes so I finally go to heat up my lunch. AT 12:50, I had no receptionist. Get this her boyfriend's mother was rushed to the hosptial so she has to go. First of all she only works 3½ hours a day and she could have been updated on his mother's condition, but no she had to go. Here's the funny part, she was in such a rush to leave she left my files in disarray, but didn't forget her chips and pop, nor did she fail to leave out the part about having massive diarrhea, which she practially screamed out (and people were in the waiting room). Even better is she returned to work at a little after 3. If she's just come to work on time, she could have have more time to take care of his mother. Then promises she'll make up the time tomorrow. I was horribly swamped that day. I did 30 patients that day, had no lunch and had to do all of her work. What do I get out of it? Nothing. But being walked all over. I could understand if it was her mom, but this is her boyfriend's mom. Nevermind, if I say more I'll come off callus and stuff. It's not like he's an only child, he was siblings and everything. But whatever..

Thursday rolls around and wouldn't you know it. She CAN'T stay to make up the time. She has to take her boyfriend to his mother's specialist's appointment. I swear this boyfriend is 12 or something. He's just as messed up as her. He's almost 40, still lives at home, doesn't spend any money, doesn't have a car and just uses her. But does she care no? She dumped him after a few weeks of being engaged, then got back with him. I haven't quite figured out who is the bigger idiot. So fine, as she's leaving (and she left early btw) she says she'll be in for 9am for friday and stay all day because she feels "bad" about leaving me so much this week.

Today, guess what time she came in? After 11. UGH!!!! Then at 2 o'clock I hear her boyfriend arrive. Of course I know this means she's not staying until the end of the day, like she's supposed to. Of course she gives the normal "well if you really want me to stay, I can." Such attitude. So I asked her when she will make up the time, she says monday. I'll see it when it happens. But she said she couldn't today because of her boyfriend's mother. She didn't even have anything serious. She upset her bowels from going on a no carb diet. That's about it. It's not like she had a heart attack ot anything. Whatever.

I am still afraid to tell her stuff. She's so unstable, it's hard to say if she'd just turn around and punch me one day. I am dead serious when I say this. Just last week, I made mention to her that she shouldn't eat at the front desk. It's really unprofessional and when I told my manager, he freaked out. Just to clarify it's not like she eating small things, no. She's slamming a mcdonalds breakfast down her throat in front of patients. Remember that some of these patients have come in fasting for their blood tests. They don't want to watch someone gorging on McDonalds. Any ways, I mention this to her and later on in the day I find her bawling her eyes out over this. I wasn't even rude about it. I just mentioned it nicely and everything. She just takes everything so personally. If I want to put my films through the developer on my own, she thinks I'm mad at her and don't like the way she does it. If I get someone's file while she's busy, I'm taking over. I can't win with her. She's really there to take some of the burden off of me, not add a zillon other problems. Yikes!!!

But seriously, I'm wondering about this job. If it's summer now and I'm averaging almost 30 people a day (I get at least 20 a day), and this is with doctor's on holidays, I'm scared for the fall and winter. Plus the doctor's office upstairs from me added a new doctor so more people :( I'm going to be very exhausted this winter, unless some fantastic new job opened up. Mind you if they just hired Barb and fired Alf. I'd be on cloud nine! Will never happen because my managment is a bunch of retards. But winter and fall are a lot busier than the summer (or at least, all the staff says this and even they are remarking about how busy this summer has been). I'm scared. I'm not looking forward to almost 40 patients a day. Put it this way. A good weekend day at the hospital is 50 patients. They have 4 techs working to cover that. There is only one me and I have to do any where from half of that or whatever. Am i just stupid....maybe.

Oh and apparently I'm not going to be home alone on Monday. Apparently Ozzfest was cancelled, so Trevor is coming home early. My parents are still going away (hey it's only been almost 4 years since they last went away). Mind you Trevor coming home that day makes no difference. He's never home anyway. Still. Everyone is going to the States but me :( First Carla, then my parent and then Trevor and do you think any one asks me to go. No. Orginially my mom told me to book off next thursday and friday to go down to the states, but my stupid father informed her a few days ago he booked them a room in Grand Forks. So once again I was ripped off. I'm very much pissed about this. I'm just never going to get a vacation, period.

Well I think I'm going to collapse again. I'm just extremely tired tonight. I already slept for a while tonight (and I NEVER do that). Soooo tired.

{..::current..mood::..} exhausted. I need a vaction.

Crossroads...

Well the inevitable has happened. My casuality at the hospital is in question, or rather I have to make a decision. I enjoy not working on my weekends, but during the winter it was nice to have the extra cash and something to do.

Now it's nice, but come fall everyone is going to be busy on the weekends again, except me. On the other hand, by freeing up my casual spot, they can hire someone who would likely beable to work more. I don't know. I'm feeling a little torn there.

I mean, the hospital was a year of my life. I learnt everything there. Do I really want to turn my back on that and take my foot out of the door? Who are we kidding, I don't plan on working for this stupid company (the clinic I work) for the rest of my life. That's like a death sentence.

Yet on the other side. The hospital wasn't all that great either. Sure the equipment was better, you didn't have to do everything on your own, plus no annoying receptionist and of course you're paid a million times better. At the same time there are a million reasons not to continue there. Night shifts. Etc..

The way that "Alf" aka my receptionist has been acting and the workload, I'm thinking the hospital could just be better. Yikes! This week was just pure hell. Thank god for today though. It was a nice day, mind you I must have thought of blowing up patients, only every 10 minutes.

Seriously though, Alf needs to go. She starts ok, but man, oh man, watch out for those mood swings. She nearly ripped off my head for asking when she planned to make up the time she didn't work this week. Worst of all, I was totally nice about it, which she should be grateful about. She screwed me over royally this week, and for that she will pay, oh boy will she pay. Today I just wasn't in the mood for her so I let her not make up time today. Come Monday she'll pay for it, provided she doesn't have something else to leave work for, I wouldn't put it past her.

All I can say, is thank god it's Friday, because if I had to put another day of work in, I might have blown up.

On that note *POOF*

Dinner out....

Went out to Dinner with the girls from work tonight. Sounds harmless, right?

WRONG baby, oh so very wrong.

Here's our problem. We included the receptionist from my location. Secretly (the lab girl and I) were hoping she'd forget about the dinner, but lo and behold she didn't. I know you're thinking I'm some horrible callus person, but you have not met my receptionist. As surprising as that is, considering she's a cross between alf and a fog horn, you have not met anything like her.

She's harmless. A nice person. A few bolts loose? Most definitely. Easy to work with? No. Don't get me wrong, as a person she's really nice. But professionally, I can't stand the girl. Nor can the girl from lab, my co-workers or the staff from upstairs. She's good in small doses...very small doses.

So we all went out for dinner tonight to the Olive Garden. This was the second dinner we invited the "alf" to and it was the second time we all wanted to crawl under the table. Almost all the conversations had to revolve around her. She's so loud too, so of course all the surrounding tables were staring at us. But the worst of all is that when she got her meal she acted like such a fool. Oh my god, I know what she reminds me of. She reminds me of Richard from 'Beauty and the Geek," especially when Chuck said to him "You won't go down with honor, you'll go down with ridicule."

Ok as I was saying, she got her meal and within seconds she was totally unsatisfied with her meal. This also happened at our previous dinner. Now if you're not content with your meal, you just mention it to the waitress and not act all pompous, right? Not her. She goes on to tell the waitress that there is no way she's eating it, it's revolting and utterly inedible. Then when another co-workers realizes her pizza is undercooked, Alf blurts it out to the waitress saying 'you're about to really hate us." Poor Franca was so embarassed.

She just has no class (alf that is). She later went on about how "this never happens" but five minutes later says that last time she ate at this restaurant the manager promised her a free meal next time. ???? She's nuts. I can understand being unhappy with your meal and whatever, but to act the way she did was just stupid. UGH!!!!

I just needed to rant about this. She seriously drives me NUTS!!!! She just never thinks before she talks, and when she's trying to be funny, she comes off rude and idiotic. For example, she's seen my car and then makes a (or rather attempts to) joke about how "at least your car isn't black." Uhh, last time I checked it was black. Yikes!

Phew, well I feel a bit better. But I could probably go on forever about this girl.

But I digress and shall step off my little soap box (aw! no more height ;) )

No one is perfect, but most people can conduct themselves professionally.
