Thank God today is Friday! I am so happy for the weekend! I never want to wish time away, but I love having my days off from work. Plus, right now work is kind of intense because I am still training for my new job. It is a 6 month internship and I don't come off orientation til the first week of May. Right now I am in my cardiothoracic/vascular rotation. Those patients are generally really sick and the doctors can be real.....how should I put this......ASSHOLES! LOL! But, they are just like me....they put there pants on the same way I do and they shit just like I do.....HAHA!

It is quite alright with me. I think some women are too preoccupied with being what society thinks they should be instead of just being themselves.

Thanks! So far I am loving it!!!

Her is an OR story you might find amusing. This morning I was happily skipping in to work (because the schedule was slow and I thought i was going to get to go home), when the OR coordinator comes running up to me and says " there is a bleeding post operative heart in the ICU who is crashing and you need to go over and get him and bring him back to the operating room for emergency surgery." I love to start the day with a little adrenaline rush!
