Why aren't I sleeping?

I'm feeling the funk. Everything's just a little more trying nowadays. I can't get past the feeling that I'm behind: I still haven't asked my profs for recommendations, I haven't really buckled down for the GREs (I got an okay score last time which I'd forgotten about, and now I'm wondering why the hell I bothered to give Kaplan my money in the first place), thinking about work leaves me a little queasy, and my bank account is only now beginning to make its way back to respectable number...with the money-sapping cruise just around the corner. The room is at a standstill. A nice-looking standstill, though. I wish I'd taken off the week before the 8th instead of the week after. Gah ::headdesk::

On the positive front - nothing makes one realize how much one knows like working with neophytes. We have a crapload of new hires on the floor, and the last night I was on the floor I was the second most senior nurse (!) working. Boggles the mind. They'd ask questions and look to me for advice and I actually knew what the hell I was doing. I know! Startling. I have eleven more shifts until vacation, including the ones today and tomorrow. Hopefully things will continue to be relatively uneventful and my nerves will settle down.

See? Everything is either work or...work. And I babbled about my job a lot anyway, mainly because I see it as a *career*, but it's coming to the point where I have no life outside of it.

Enough of that. Here's a meme I found in modpixie's journal that I filled out because, hey, it's 4:27 and my ass is still awake.

1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?
No one. It's so much better to let them live and make them suffer.

2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Who will it be?
Coldplay. God, they just get on my nerves.
( But wait!, there's more... )
