I <3 NY
I love when, twice in one day, I have to scrape giant chunks of ice off of my car. Awesome.
According to MSN.com, the Finger Lakes area is one of the best lake-area places in the US. (Go Geneva!) Also according to MSN, Rochester is one of the best places to buy a house in the Northeast. Houses are actually under-valued here. In California, by contrast, there are NO cities that are good to buy a house in unless you're really makin money. Not that I don't want to live in CA anymore because I definitely do, it just scares me that places are so expensive there.
I know I talk shit about my job quite frequently, but there are some parts of it I really love. When I was in about 6th grade I wanted to be a doctor, until we had career day and I found out I'd have to go to school for an inordinate amount of time. And not minding the school thing now, but definitely minding the blood and guts thing, at least I can pretend like I'm a doctor with some stuff that I do.
This new study that I'm taking part in requires me to go to the Colonoscopy Unit on the 4th floor and hook patients up with electrodes before their procedure and then we do some procedures of our own. I'm working with an anesthesiologist who is soooooo nice and while we're waiting for the patient to recover from the procedure we talk about doctor-y stuff. Mostly I just listen to her talk about how to suture and how big of egos the other doctors have, spinal taps, and other random info, but it just makes me happy. I watch Grey's Anatomy, I used to watch House and ER, and I've always had this feeling of outsider-ness with doctors, maybe even awe of how important they are and are made to be in society. So to be just talking nonchalantly with one is awesome, especially at Strong where some of the best doctors are (yeah that's right, Strong rocks).
Hmmm what else.....I met Joe at Eastview on sunday. It was a great time had by all. We got to do fun things like hide from people we know that talk too much, sing in Johnny Rocket's and go around to all the different tables to find a jukebox that worked, read gay porn-ish books (yay!), talk to my cousin at Borders, and just overall have a really great time. I need to hang out with Joe more often, I miss him so much sometimes and no matter how much we fight (usually quite a lot) I will always love him to death.
I'm so bored. I feel like talking in here is like talking to a person so I'm just probably going to keep on rambling until I run out of steam. I guess I did too much work earlier today, I didn't leave any to do for tonight. Well the subject wakes up at 6:50 so I guess I only have a few hours of nothingness left.
Oh speaking of subjects....we have a few job openings in case anyone is interested. There are no benefits or regular hours, and you'll have to work weekends, but the people here are awesome and the pay is better than most places. Also I'll be in charge of you. Woooooo. Anyway if anyone knows of anyone blah blah hit me up because my boss is really getting on me to find some extra workers. My boss also told me I was "really becoming a woman" today. I just looked at him weirdly and hoped he wouldn't say anything sexual. Apparently he meant that my newly acquired responsibilities are making me more grown up or something like that.
Let's seeeee, yesterday/today was Sue's birthday, have to give a shout-out to her for that one. I'll most likely be talking about her saturday birthday celebration in a few days, which I'm looking forward to, it should be really fun. Plus with Big Poppa and Beener Neener around, who can go wrong?
Okay even though I'm still bored I'm sure whoever is reading this wants to put themselves out of their own bored misery so I'll just post again some other time.
