apparently Aspergers syndrome is the new rage to give a character if you are a writer.  Jerry in Boston Legal has it, the cardiac doctor in greys anatomy a few weeks ago had it, and it seems like lots of new books have a character with it as well.  interesting how different mental syndromes come into the spotlight.  seems like the last one was tourettes, and now Aspergers. 

so, went and saw the new Twilight movie last night, and it sucked balls.  Somehow reading cheesey dialog is one thing, but hearing bad acting as actors recite said cheesy dialog is another thing entirely.  blech.  the movie was super boring as well.  this is what i think the producers were thinking at some points- hmm, lets fills some time and just have bella and edward make googly eyes at each other.  effin ridiculous!  at least i had a good time making up my own lines haha.

i'm excited that its almost turkey time!  i thought that i would have to spend it all on my lonesome up here since i didnt know if i would be getting the friday after off of work, but i did, so im super happy about not only the time off of work, but spending it with family as well.  hopefully one of my aunts will be hosting it at their places because last year rather sucked going out to cracker barrel for our thanksgiving meal since nobody had space for us all to cellbrate it as a family at someones place.  plus, it doesnt really feel like a holiday spending it waiting 45 minutes in the lobby to be surrounded by other families at other tables.  it was just palin weird.  so hopefully i'll get to do some cooking this time around. 

later xangaroos

so this week i have been working the different evening shifts.  on monday and wednesday i worked the 11am-7pm shift, which basically consists of coming in and doing lunch breaks for rooms, taking an hour lunch for myself until 3pm and then going in to relieve people at 3pm and basically help finish up in rooms until 7pm.  not so bad, but the jumping to totally different cases is interesting, to say the least. then, on tuesday and today (only 45 minutes left until i can go home tonight) i worked the 3pm-11pm shift.  it was pretty good on tuesday because there was a kidney transplant that started at 5.45pm that kept me busy circulating.  tonight, the last case finished up around 8pm... so ive basically been sitting around putzing on the computer after doing some room checks for tomorrow for the last 2.5 hours.  and oy, the time sure is slowly ticking by.  im sitting in good ole OR 16 (butts and guts room, haha) in a nasty chair, my butt is sleeping and i'm freaking tired.  at least i get tomorrow off.  too bad that means working the 7am-3.30 shift on saturday.  oh well.  next week i'm doing cysto and open GU cases, which are mostly penis cases from what i've seen so far.  those boys are a highly amusing bunch, so i'm looking forward to that.  hopefully there will be good cases!  more penile implants! hoo-ray.  hahaha.

the new apartment is very nice, even without my couch being there yet (it arrives saturday!).  luckily the heavy storms on monday didnt blow my place away, but a huge tree across the street fell over into the front of a house!  good thing it fell that way instead of across the street my way. yikes.  so anyways, i was so unprepared for this move!  i have a huge list of things i still have to buy.  like a garbage can for my kitchen!  i'm currently using a huge gift bag with a picture of a golden retriever and balloons on it.  whatever works right?  and my walls are so bare.  me with the plain wall phobia is going slightly cooky not covering the walls yet, but im taking my time with all that stuff.  i dont want to hang stuff until i get my furniture in.  i seriously have apartment ADD (as well as posting ADD apparently from this post.  oh well, deal with it, im sleepy and dear lord why isnt the clock going quicker?! 43minutes til clock out time) back to what the heck i was talking about.  oh yeah, apt add.  so i keep on flitting from one thing to anotehr trying to unpack boxes (which are all unpacked now!  too bad thats not everything from home) and then sort stuff and find a new place for stuff to go.  i find that i will finish up with one part of things and then flit off to where i put another thing and then try to organize that area, and then flit to another place, leaving no projects really finished up.  sticking to one thing at a time is not my forte this week...maybe its because i'm not staying in one room for the whole day?  that could be the influence.  omg this chair hurts!  why is the effing night bell phone ringing?  yuck-o.  anyways, i guess it is time to go sit in another chair downstairs and read some of my book. 

still no internet at the apt, and i have even signed up for it yet either, so i guess it will be a few more weeks until i get that all accomplished.  oh well.  laters. 

38minutes to clock out time!!!
