About Nurse Jenny
Dang it's been a long time!! I havent been online in, well, forever! So I'm a nurse now. This is week #3.. I'm somewhere in between loving it and hating it. Well, hate is a little strong but it's freakin hard. No long details or anything, but I was involved in my first "code blue" yesterday. It wasnt one of my patients, but I was one of the first people to get in there before it was decided to call the code and all I can say is she was blue...really really blue. It was scary. Other than that I think I'm catching on to some of this nursing business. On a good note I got my first paycheck as a nurse....on the bad side the mean tax people stole a lot of it! >/ But other than the blue lady it's been going well...and right now, I'm tired.
So after last nite I realize something. I AM ready to be a grown-up. I like what I do. Having the time off was very nice..but I do like my job. So now I'm more excited to start. Why not be a grown-up? It cant be that bad can it? :)
It's boring here. And that's made worse when you realize everyone you would normally hang out with is somewhere else. Not just somewhere else, but somewhere else probably having fun. I have to make my own fun. How many times can you shop or drink coffee by yourself? And not that I feel I need a person of the opposite persuasion to validate me but everyone else seems to need that so then I'm the odd one out. What brought this little rant on? Nothing out of the ordinary except that it's Friday nite and what am I doing? I'm updating my webpage. I tried using the excuse that "Erie sucks" but that's just not true. And I'm not even in Erie..I'm in Cambridge Springs which is waay more depressing. And anyone in this area who I would enjoy the company of this semi-nice evening seems to be out with their significant other! Do I want sympathy?? Absolutely not...I just needed to rant.
So Happy Memorial Day. Mine didnt start out so happy. After not sleeping until 3am due to a pain in the jawish region I was happily sleeping away at 10am...until...that familiar old sound of drums. I awoke to find the Marching Blue Devils marching down Venango Avenue. In an angry, semi-awake state I stumbled out of bed to see what the racket was. I almost missed them. Had I blinked they woulda been gone. But the drumming continued. Now, I'm a fan of the percussion street beats during parades. We usually had pretty cool sounding ones when I was a Marching Blue Devil...this however sounded as though it were only about 5 measures long repeated over and over and over again. So the whole thing just pissed me off.
Fortunately the situation was semi-quickly remedied when I got a phone call reminding me I was going to a Memorial Day picnic. And according to my last post makes me a very happy nurse Jenny indeed :D
Just sayin, I love picnic food. What's better than the smokey smell of food being grilled outside? I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it...too bad it's 11:15 at night :P Ooo...but there still might be some potato salad..
So it looks like stuff is working on this thing. Yay. Now if I only had the skills to make it prettier..
Oh well. It's a lovely day outside. Maybe I'll just go and lay outside on the grass while semi-trucks drive by being all loud and stuff. Or maybe I'll do the ever-exciting task of laundry. Or a nap might be nice. A nap with my windows open so the nice day comes in. We might have a winner folks.. It obviously doesnt take much to occupy me at the moment. 18 more days of freedom left.
It's a new day and a new weblog. This is the new home of "Nemo's Home." I figured it was time for a change (and I've got a lot of time on my hands at the moment). I'm at a new place in life so I thought my little place on the web should be too. :)
