So yesterday I worked in my usual place. I work Peds too, but the girl I work with most of the time prefers Peds and I prefer the other floor so it pretty much works out for us. We had a steady morning but then sent 3 people home and I pretty much had nothing to do. So I basically sat on my ass all afternoon. I had everything stocked and cleaned. I did that in the morning. I did roll a computer into the NICU and did some hearing tests on a set of twins. That took up an hour anyway. When I first started there the NICU was pretty much closed. There were hardly any babies in there and when there was, they weren't there much. Now there's a constant flow of babies in there. THere's usually more babies in the NICU than out on the floor with the moms. It's crazy. And twins being born left and right. So this has been such a learning experience for me. And I very much like and respect all of the NICU nurses and they answer each question I have and let me do things. I don't know that I'd ever be a NICU nurse, but I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the time I've spent in there. Laura cut off a couple of inches of my hair last night. I'm so damn sick of the way it looks, frizzy and absolutely no life whatsoever. I plan on coloring it today, maybe that'll help make it look better. I feel horrible about going to work the way I do. I put in my contacts and put makeup on and then there's my hair. Everything looks good on me when I go, I smell nice and pretty but then my hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket when I got up and it just doesn't look professional. So I know I need a new style. It's shorter now but if I have to get it cut even more I will. I need to have nice hair. It's been so long, I forget what it looks like. And if I got my ass up at 4:30 every morning and completely flat ironed it it would look nicer but come on, who is gonna do that??? Okay...so most of the nurses do that but I won't. I have a hard time being on time to work at 6:00. I am NOT a morning person and won't act like I am. Morning is for sleeping people. I guess it's time to rant and rave about the neighbors. They don't read this and if they did I still wouldn't care. We call Diane "Debbie Downer". If you watch SNL you know who she is. She has to shit on everything. You say one thing and she has 10 stories related and it usually has to do with her cancer or depression or whatever the hell. Her daughter who HAS NO JOB (she's 21 and is living off the state, she says she's a "caretaker" for her moher but really gets paid to do nothing) took her mom's debit card and ended up getting her $600 in the hole in overdraft charges and whatnot. So Diane comes crying to us and wants money and such because they have no money. Well, is it OUR fault her daughter is a piece of shit with no ambition to even ger her GED (long story there) and get a real job. She's had a few in the past, but she's always quit them. Then Diane bitches because they have no money and she thinks SHE needs to get a job. No, SHE doesn't need to get a job but her daughter who is basically a waste of space at this point should probably get one. So Diane comes over here crying for money and food ALL THE TIME. And yes we've helped her out. But there are times we don't even have the money or food to help her. She's always the "victim" in every situation. She pulls the "O Woe is me" thing. It gets old. Damn old. It takes a toll on a friendship when one side is always mooching off the other ones. Diane's dad has paid the last two car payments on her daughter's vehicle. But she has money to go to UNL basketball games and buy shoes and purses. See my point? Cry and cry because your cell phones are going to be shut off and your cable and internet...but go piss you money away eating out and spending the weekend in Lincoln for your friend's 21st birthday and drinking alcohol. That shit doesn't fly with us. If you are down and out, you do what you need to do to get out of the hole. For me, it was take a second job. Cook at home for every meal, don't eat out. Buy cheaper trash bags and don't blow through so much gas in the car. It really does work. But don't go on pissing your money away on shit you don't need and then come crying to us because you don't have groceries. It just pisses me off to no end. So last night we were at Laura's because she cut my hair and my sister's boyfriend's little sister got her hair in an up-do for a dance. So we were kind of in and out (and she got paid to do all of that). So as soon as Jax and I go inside and Laura is outside, Diane tells her how pissed off she is because we never go to HER house and spend time with them. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THIS DEBBIE DOWNER???? Because no visit can ever take place without hearing about how much money they don't have and how they have no food or anything else. Fuckin do something about it. Be proactive. Don't expect people to give you hand outs, make your own way in this world. Guess what? We all have to do that. So when Laura told us what she said, we were both pissed. First of all, it was pretty stupid for her to say stuff like that to Laura because she WILL tell us. It just proves that you don't have to have working brain cells to survive in this world. No biggie, we're over being pissed though. If she comes over for even one thing she's getting a big NO. She can kiss my ass. If their life is so bad then she needs to keep her debit card away from her loser daughter and encourage her to get a job. If she doesn't want to do that, then she's on her own. I am not charity and am no longer taking away from me and my family to help hers. Have fun eating government cheese and watching regular TV bitches. Maybe your daughter can make a sign out of cardboard and tote around her designer purse and try to get some money standing on the highway. But this ship has sailed. past and future A few hours my ass! - 2007-05-07
Archives Cast Rings 101 things about me about me
I am a 34-year-old college student, mom, friend and all around sarcastic and fun loving person. I'm going to school to be a nurse. I recently quit a high paying job from home to get back into the hospital setting and to get my feet wet in nursing. I work on the Maternal Child Unit which includes the birthing center, perinatal care and Pediatrics. I LOVE IT! These last few years have been all about changes in my life. Although they have required great sacrifice, I know it will be worth it when I'm through. I have a great life and great family and friends and occasionally bitch about my white trash neighbors. Mostly here you will find rants and raves about various people, places, and circumstances. ENJOY! Loves: Nursing, chocolate, my daughter, family and friends, diet coke, Grey's Anatomy (DUH!), being out of my front patio in the summertime with my neighbors, babies, US Weekly magazine, reality TV, being smart and being a mother. Hates: Chemistry, online cyberstalkers who have no life but to be online 24/7 causing drama, my white trash neighbors, pepporoni pizza, mice, bugs, when it's too hot outside and I get sweaty, seafood, backstabbing people, liars, crooks, and when people play the "victim" and whine 24/7.
