A compliment.

One of the patient's at work needed a breathing treatment so a respiratory therapist came to our floor and was looking for the nurse for that patient. I had been at the nurse's station charting and had gotten up to do something and the respiratory therapist asked if I was the nurse for that patient. I said no but let me find the nurse who is. The RT asked 'Are you the charge nurse?' I said 'Oh gosh no, I'm not even a nurse!' and she laughed and said 'Well you really looked like you knew what you were doing!' LOL You know, I didn't think of it at the time but what a compliment! I laughed with her and said 'Thanks!'. And that was my good feeling of the day. ;-)

Another great night at work last night with great people. <3>

OH AND... an Iraqi couple said that our hospital is wonderful, the people there are wonderful and they are just floored at how great it is. It was wonderfully refreshing to hear that. :-)

P.S. One more month (from today) to go until my parent's anniversary party! Ahh!

Keep Breathing.

Just keep breathing.

It gets old

Being excited, caring, sympathetic etc for people when you don't get the same back. I don't do things to get recognition but really how freaken hard is it to say a few words when I'm excited or sad or whatever emotion I am feeling at the time? It's NOT. It flipping blows my mind and irritates the shit out of me. @@

On the plus side, I had an awesome night at work with some of the best people. If only it could always be with those specific people, I wouldn't be annoyed by the cattiness.

Stupidity and lack of common sense.

I was watching Parking Wars today on A&E and it just kills me how the parking officers are being treated. I know lil' ol me can't do anything about it but people are so cruel. It is YOUR fault for parking in an illegal parking area, not the officers. Do not yell at the officer for your stupid mistake... learn from it, pay it and move on.

This one woman (and I use that term loosely) always parked her car in the same No Stopping zone and always got a ticket. She had the audacity to say to the camera that the parking officer was targeting her and that she has gotten so many tickets for parking in the same spot all of the time. OMG it literally takes all of my strength not to yell at the televsion. LOL Why in the heck are people so stupid?! DO NOT PARK YOUR DARN CAR IN AN ILLEGAL PARKING SPOT. And you'd think, after $800 in tickets, you'd KNOW that but no. Instead you grab your Chanel handbag with your matching Chanel wallet and mouth off to the camera criticizing the parking officer's hair and her "old lady" face with too much makeup. Good Lord in heaven. Get real lady. Why doesn't anyone say anything to these people? I guess because it won't matter. Stupidity breeds though so I'm sure they'll be offspring following suit. @@

My completely inappropriate rant post.

Let me preface this with the fact that I am in an uber pissy mood congregated by many factors. Therefore everything will piss me off and I will most likely overreact to the smallest things.

1. I am sick to death of the media. I do not fricken care that Jessica Simpson has gained a few pounds because she ate a cookie and forgot to do 10 crunches. She is a human and a woman and it's about damn time one of those celebrities got some curves. Instead of criticizing her for it, how about praising her? She's HEALTHY. She's not obese, she's not stuffing herself with Big Mac's (and if she were, she'd be just like the rest of us). For God's sake. Just shut it. And I don't even want to go in depth about the octuplets situation. How did we all suddenly become so extremely judgmental of everyone? Yes, we have established that it was irresponsible for the doctor who implanted the embryo's, to implant so many at once. But talking about it, bashing the mother etc is NOT going to change the fact that she has 14 children. Start reporting about real things that affect the world. That's all I'm saying about that.

2. If I ever decide to go grocery shopping on Superbowl Sunday again, please shoot me. Holy crap. I was about thisclose to running over a grandma in her little mobile wheelchair. Trader Joe's is small enough as it is, do not stop in the middle of the aisle just because you believe you have the 'right of way'. And THEN, do not proceed to get OUT of your mobile chair and take 10 minutes to decide just what kind of ground beef you're planning on buying.... and futher more if your mobile chair things makesa hideous high pitched noise when you back up, for goodness sakes, turn it OFF when you get up. I, nor anyone else, do not appreciate hearing that throughout the store for the next 5 minutes.

3. My dad and his loud breathing in church today almost had me going postal. I thought, for a split second, to stand up during the pastor's sermon and scream at my dad. What a great message to send at church. GAAH.

4. Because I felt so bad that I had all of these thoughts, I took a lady's cart back to the corral (along with mine) so she didn't have to.
