Long week over

Thank GOD this week is over. If I heard one more person at work bitch about doing their job and working even SLIGHTLY hard... I was going to kill. At least everyone else at work is getting a paycheck... and I'm working harder than any of them !! (with no pay)

I'm flying out to CA tomorrow to move Greg out. So, i'm farting around the house doing laundry and trying to decide how warmly to pack. It's a little colder in San Francisco than it is here in Florida. I'm also a total cold wimp now.

I've had a saga this week about my check card. I got a letter from washington mutual this week saying my check card # has been "compromised". So, they're issuing me a new card and deactivating my old card on Saturday. No huge deal , right. I'm just checking for unauthorized useage on my card number. ..... until today. My card is being shut off tomorrow and yet today in my mailbox NO NEW CARD !!! And, remember.. I'm leaving tomorrow for CA for a week. So, i called WAMU customer service to see if they could not shut off my check card. No can do. SHIT !! So, I raced to the grocery store to get cash back before they close... anything more than that I have to use my credit card until I get back next week from Texas. This is so horribly inconvenient. I also came to realize how horribly dependant I am on my check card now. Stupid piece of plastic. But, it's so much easier than cash !!

Off to pack !!

Booked

I got my confirmation letter today for my part 2 boards. Scary !! I've committed the money weeks ago... now I've booked my hotel. I'm staying less than 1 mile from the site where the test is being administered in Ft lauderdale. I called G to find out if he could get me the traveling honey hook-up.... but he only gets discounts at the pricier hotels (which I couldn't afford even with his discount). So I'm staying at the Baymount Inn. Looks nice and he says the reviews are good. (which works for me)

At work today I got a frantic SOS at lunch from Dr Jamie. She had 20 patients to see in the afternoon and no husband to help her. So, she asked Dr Jon if she could borrow me. He told her to cash in now while i'm free labor. when I return... i'm much more expensive (since I'm free now it's only up from here, eh? )

I can't believe I leave for CA on Saturday. I get to spend a whole week with Greg !! It makes me happy. It should... right.

Well, I should head off to bed. I'm in surgery tomorrow with Dr Jon. there's more going on than the run of the mill CE's so it should be cool. I get to see a few different kinds of ptosis repair, some blephs, etc. hey, it gets me out of the office and off work early to study.. always a plus !

I'm bored... and I don't feel like studying any more. I just finished my last book.. so now.. all I'm left with is the studying. *sigh* Oh well.

guess what I'm going to be doing all weekend anyway? Maybe I can at least stay outside tomorrow to do it... be less pasty when i go home for Thanksgiving. I have to get at least one perk out of living in Florida. ;)

Soooo tired

I have no idea what i want for my birthday... Greg keeps asking me what I want. I have no idea what to tell him. Of course my mom just keeps saying "diamond ring ! diamond ring! " geez.

Since today was veterans day, everyone was off school. So, we had patients scheduled every 15 minutes from 9-5. Which, may not sound like much for a doctor's office,but it IS for an OD. Dr Jamie and I were EXHAUSTED by the end of the day. I was surprised we had time to meet Dr Troy for lunch day (he's so nice).

After work I raced over to the hospital to donate blood. I'd been due to donate and heard they were staying open late today since it was veterans day. So, I got my t-shirt, free ice cream, and tickets to the Dali Museum in st Pete. (which is what I'm most excited about).

Now, off to study for boards before ER comes on.

Rain

I love listening to the rain beat against the window.... where's my cocoa ???

I wish G were here to snuggle with. It's a snuggly kind of day.

Another Manic Monday

I have two min-pins curled up under my covers as I write this. they're too cute. I love it when it finally cools off outside and I get to use blankets on my bed. So snuggly. Plus, I get to wear my cool jammie pants... much love for the jammie pants.

I talked with my boss today about getting off every day at 4pm between now and boards. Since I'm an intern, he's not paying me, and he knows i've been working my ass off.. he agreed. I love my boss. So, by 7pm I had driven home, run, showered, gone shopping, cooked, eaten and was flopped on the bed with my study guide. All this by the time I would just normally be heading out to run. Gotta LOVE that.

I spent a little bit of time recently talking to Greg while he's working up in Baltimore. He was out at dinner with work friends so not long to talk (standing outside the resturant with no jacket talking to me hastened the process as well). Apparently they're rolling 1/4 of the project off the project. They gave Greg two more groups of people to be in charge of. YAY for him... THREE TIMES as much work... NO PAY INCREASE !! JOY !! He's um.. thrilled. He's the only non-management employee on the management team. Woo. Now pay the boy....

Alright, enough procrastinating... back to studying I go.

Ready, Set, GO !!

Well, after one of the most exciting football games I've EVER seen... it's back to reality today. A fun-filled day of laundry and studying for boards. Especially since I just realized boards are exactly one month from TODAY !!!

Greg is busy packing up his apartment so we can drive his things to Dallas in two weeks. We're going to put it all in storage while we wait for closing on our new place. It's so weird to be planning out the rest of our lives.... graduation, Europe, new condos, boards, jobs.. etc. It's a trip I'll tell ya.

oh my.. could my team BE losing by more points... I think not..

New Blog

I've decided I've grown tired of Live Journal. It hardly ever works... runs slowly... and I just needed something new. So, welcome to my new blog !! Now, to figure out how this thing works... hmmmm
