fredericksYet another Saturday where I'm at a complete loss when it comes to figuring out what I should do with myself. My problem is that I'm so task-oriented during the work week that once 10pm on Friday rolls around I just want to go to bed and avoid any and all responsibilities until Sunday evening. Think I managed to reach new heights of ridiculousness last night by washing down a crazy-rich cupcake with beer. Just say "no" indeed.
This was the sky in the city last night around seven in the evening. It was amazingly beautiful: everything was bathed in orange sunlight and the clouds looked like they were straight out of a children's television program. Folks were stopping in the middle of the street to point, stare, and take photos.
I've been trying to use Facebook. Thing is, because I've undergone a name change most of the old folks can't successfully search for me. And my motivation to hunt down people waxes and wanes. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; I had few real friends through my school years anyway and the ones I'd actually *want* to connect with are probably as wary of the whole Facebook/MySpace stuff as I am. I'm also a bit discomforted by the lack of anonymity over (that's my real name! coupled with my opinions! oh no!). It's been fun to reconnect with a couple of folks from nursing school and make brief cyber-contact with other people who I feel have blessed my life in one way or the other, but I'm as shit at maintaining cyber-relationships as I am with offline stuff so I figure things will fall through over there fairly quickly.
Officially started the new position this past Monday. I'm getting paid at the new rate, only thing is I've only had one day of training and as there's no nurse to take over my case load I never quite know what I'm going to be doing (as in seeing patients or staying in the office). I do wish they'd make up their minds. I'm a creature of habit and routine and the constant lack of certainty has me on edge every time I step into the office. Work remains crazy (crazy patients are crazy), and that's always amusing. In a "Imma gonna climb a clocktower" sort of way.
Will not watch Transformers 2 (it is an ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD. or so I infer), already bought IMAX tickets for a 7/26 showing of Half-Blood Prince (I may be slightly mad). Still cannot wait for Dragon*Con although I'm more than a little sad that K. may not be able to accompany me (who else is going to join me in a search for our Snape?!?!) but haven't purchased plane tickets yet (toying with taking the train down just for the sleeper car experience). Am quite tired of all the Michael Jackson news coverage, although this Wednesday there's going to be a Michael Jackson-themed Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre and I really do feel like going. Bought October tickets for An Evening Without Monty Python, primarily because Alan Tudyk and Hank Azaria will be in it. Got front row seats. Am more than a little stoked.
'k, this entry's completed. Hope everyone's doing well.
