Well I passed my exams for the med passing classes. Now I just have to go through observations and be checked off and then I can pass meds. It earned me a certificate, that's avaliable online if I continue in this line of work and its good for a year. I should feel accomplished.
Actually I feel behind. I haven't posted here in a long while, due to being so busy this week and I barely managed to look over my friends list and respond to anything. I haven't seen any of my friends lately, the only person I hear from at all is James. I opened my e-mail and found I had over 100 messages to go through, and then 30 on my school e-mail account. Even though I'm caugh up with my homework, I feel like I'm behind because there is so much more to do.
Despite all this I still love my job. It's not easy, but it's still wonderful. Where else can I work and get paid to play small little games just to make someone laugh. I get paid to make sure seven people are feed, comforable and happy...it doesn't get much better then that. Sure there are little upsets along the way, but there are all these good moments too that far outweigh the bad ones.
Anyway, moving on. I've had a cold for over a week now. It got to bad I stopped taking showers at my parents house and started taking them at the gym I belong to or at home (my Grandma's, where I live, runs off a well so I really don't like doing this) I had to though to help myself start feeling better. My mom moved one of her kittens litter boxes into the room where my brother and I shower. I'm allergic to cats so it was causing me all sorts of problems, the first day when I stopped showering there I noticed my throat was less scratchy and it was easier to breathe. Several people have told me I should just move the litter box, and don't seem to get that I can't. It's my parents' house, it would be rude for me to just start rearranging something. I don't know, maybe I'm just weird.
I've come to the conclusion that I've been watching too much mindless tv at work...I've got a few hours in the middle of the shift where there's nothing to do but wait so sometimes I watch tv. I saw an episode of Room Raiders, that was gay...it was the first time that I actually found the show amusing...usually it's only kinda interesting, but this time it was funny. It was still pretty mindless though, I mean didn't make me think in anyway. I was watching an interesting show on Discovery and that was cool...but at this point I'm just sick of tv.
I've really only go on other thing to add. It kinda threw me because on this day I was so tired, and sick from my cold, that I could barely keep my eyes openned, let alone react so I just remained silent. This was at the med passing class. One of the girls was talking about her experience moving to a suburb where she was discriminated against because she was black. This started a conversation about discrimination in general and the entire group basically decided that all discrimination is wrong.
This was on our lunch break.
Then classes started again adn we had to go do a few pratical, hands on sections, so were were split into three smaller groups. At on of the stations were were learning how to take pusles and temperature correctly. There wasn't much equipment so two of the girls were praticing taking a pusle at a table using. One girl was letting the other use her wrist while the other woman timed the pulse. All of a sudden one of the other woman turns and looks at them and goes, "Are you two holding hands?!"
I mean in a total freaked out voice. They looked at her like she was mad and then she realized what they were doing and apologized. Then everyone else in the group agreed that it would've been gross if they'd been holding hands. I didn't say anything, I was simply too sick and too tired to be able to come up with anything construtive to say to them and now I still feel like a moron for not opening my mouth.
