Tomorrow night is my first night out in over a month and I would love for everyone to meet up. I haven't figured out what to do yet, so if anyone has any ideas, feel free to speak up. As long as it doesn't mean hanging out at The Plaza or Bailey's I'm cool with it. Irish suggested Dave's, but I may drown in the sea of fratboys. I was thinking about meeting somewhere around 8:00. Give me some ideas.
Four hours and counting until I'm out if this great city and bound for Orlando. I dread the drive, since it will take me 9-10 hours to get there, but I can't wait to get away and relax. Nothing to do for 5 days but lounge by the pool an play with poohbear. I can't wait!
Over the past few week I have seen several "the world is about to fall apart" movies. Last week I watched The Day After Tomorrow. Really good movie, but somewhat disturbing. It had a lot of "yeah right" scenarios, but over all it was good. Then, a few nights ago I saw Core. I had never heard of this movie and I'm not quite sure if it was ever in theaters. Basically, the outer core is a ring of liquid that spins around the inner core. This makes the magnetic field on Earth. In the movie the outer core stopped spinning and caused horrible side effects. So, this team of scientists and astronauts had to go into the center of the Earth to set off nuclear explosions and jump-start the outer core. Also a movie with "yeah right" scenarios, but still a really good movie. All those movies have the same sort of plot and they have gotten very predictable. NHP and I kept guessing who would die first and what would happen next. We got every guess right. Last night we decided to change up our viewing a bit and we watched Anchorman. Freakin' hilarious! If you haven't seen that movie, I recommend you check it out. Tonight is once again movie night, but I haven't decided what to watch. I just have a feeling it will have nothing to do with the death and destruction of thousands of people. Kind of a depressing way to start the weekend.
We hired a new girl about a month ago to work part time and kinda help us with the patient overload. She is a middle aged woman and seemed to have experience with the job we hired her for. Apparently she has never seen a computer before in her life. My 3 year old has better computer skills than this woman. She types like the keys keep moving. I just don't understand how it can be that difficult. I figured after she worked with it awhile, she would catch on, but she has no long term memory. Or short term, for that matter. I caught her trying to open up my hard drive the other day to put trash in it. She thought it was the trash can. Yes she did. She has made my job harder, because I have to stop what I'm doing to explained the same things over and over again. I was on the phone with Irish this morning for 5 minutes and she came over to my desk twice while I was on the phone to ask the same question. I just about lost it. How can anyone be that dumb and not retain a single piece of information? I don't claim to be the smartest person in the world, but I can take basic instructions and roll with them. Geez! Ok, I'll stop ranting. Just a bit frustrated with the whole thing. Not only do I have to train her, the other girl is out for the week, and I have to do her job, my job, and the new girl's job. I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!
In the past 2 weeks I haven't gone to bed before 12:00 and it's finally catching up with me. I know 12:00 doesn't seem late, but that was the early night. All the other nights I went to bed around 2 or 3. That sucks when I have to get up and go to work. Or like last weekend, I had poohbear and I got to sleep around 4 only to be woken up around 6:30 because he wanted to play. It's amazing the hell a body goes through when you don't get enough rest. Plus, when I do get to sleep, I either have bad dreams or I wake up once an hour for no freakin' reason. Oh well. The way things are looking right now, I can expect this trend to continue for at least 2 more weeks. Maybe, things will go back to normal soon. For the sake of everyone that has to put up with my cranky ass, I truly hope so.
