Biggest frustration at work

Here it is.. Why is it that the moment I pull facebook up at work for 30 seconds someone catches me and calls my boss to rat on me?  When at this very moment there are 7 nurses piled around a computer looking at senior pictures as well as the OLD you tube video of the Forever wedding dance down the aisle?  Sorry ladies that was this summer!

I guess it just has to go that I am not a nark.  I think the moment I ever decide to tell on all the stupid B.S. that happens here behind bosses eyes not a single person would believe.  BUT when Katie gets caught going on Facebook God forbid! She is doing something horribly wrong. 

I must say that my boss does not work in the same building as me and that he is very mellow and laid back.  He understands the situation of tattlers.  And if onl;y these people that tell on me and then go around and do the same thing for longer and a lot worse only knew, that on average a month I work 11 hours in an 8 hour day!  I do more than I should.  So when I have a free moment let me have my free moment.  But someone tell me why that free moment has to happen when the narcks are out?!?!

Nurses say they are always busy with phone calls, paper work, rooming patients, faxes. Let me tell you.  The moment after they speed through their duties in the room with you before the doc comes in they right back out at their computer.  Texting someone, eating their 3rd brownie of the day or gossiping about yesterdays patients or whatever big gossip it is or looking for a sale online at Herbergers! Personal favorite though is them learning how to use Facebook at work when they shouldn't and then they tell on me for seeing that I am on  it!  AND nursing supervisors follow this stuff too if not worse!!!!!!!!

I guess that it just sucks to be the super nice person at work that people rely on and know you will get the job done right.  And it also sucks if you are that plus the person with the kind of attitude like me.  Where you don't really care what other people do doing the work hour as long as it doesn't negativley affect my work.  People can do and say as they please by my standard.  Not everyone is that way.  Maybe this coming new year I should turn over a new leaf and start calling those out that don't do things at work. 

Ahh.. I  can breathe now.  Everyone have a great day that has to go to work tomorrow!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well, maybe not weather wise.  But everywhere else and with Thanksgiving on Thursday and the big shopping day I just can't help but get excited about the holidays.

I'm thankful for so much in my life right now.  I have the BEST family in the world.  A boyfriend that has made me stop, look and think about life and life choices in life that I may have at one point not wanted but could now foresee them.  He is truly my best friend.  I'm thankful for all the friends I have in my life.  Without them I don't know what I would do.  I am happy to be alive.  I know it's a weird one, but when you're surrounded with so much great it would be a sad thing to miss it.  All the good makes up for any bad that I may have as long as I stop and take that moment to remember it all.

So Happy early Thanksgiving!

Happy Friday

There are so many reasons as to why Fridays are my favorite day of the week.  It starts with knowing the day shift is almost done!  It tends to be a bit busy at work and makes the day go by faster than most.  I tend to get more than a fair share of fun little random emails throughout the day from the boyfriend that make me litterally laugh out loud or put a dorky smile on my face.  I get giddy around 415 because I know it'll soon be time for me to stop and get coffee and make my 45 minute drive to his house.  All the while I am rocking out hardcore.  And now that there is Christmas music on the radio..drivers beware! 

But today in particular I am a little on the sad side.  Tomorrow moring I have to come in and put in some over time.  So I'm staying at home tonight and don't get to see the boyfriend.  I know some might say so what.  But it's been over a week and I miss him! I missed him the day I left last!

The weekend should make up for it.  Work until noon tomorrow.  Mall of America in the afternoon followed by an awesome dinner thats already paid for. (Thanks to gift cards from my B-Day!)  And football and the AMA's sunday.  Go Vikes!

Anyways, everyone have a great and safe weekend!

My number one love

Yes it could be strange but Paul, John, George, and Ringo have always had my heart since I was younger.  AND I wasn't even a thought when they were an original hit!

Why? I've never been able to pin point it.  But I think it has to with they were kids writing and playing their music about whatever they wanted.  They were real talent and had actual views on the world or love or life.  And it all turned out to be beautiful and sometimes ugly mass chaos.  We are even reminded that wanted to come to America and when the played Ed Sullivan it was a true Holy Sh%(* moment.  What I would give to have been around back then.

Now here's the thing, criticize me all you want.  I know that this year has been a big year for The Beatles.  With Rock Band, 40th anniversary, etc...  And it seems like everywhere you look today it's a screen printed Beatles tee or a peace sign bracelet or purse.  Every store is doing it.  And I just wanna say that I have been wearing these things since I was a teenager. (Granted it wasn't that long ago) But now when I see a 14 year old with a tye-dyed peace sign shirt on texting her friend standing right next to her about the "Jo Bros" drinking a coffee cooler I simply want to scream!  How did all this become mainstream again when these kids wouldn't even be able to name a Beatles album ever relased?

I became this way thanks to my father.  He was and is always playing KQRS ( A classic rock station in MN) I used to HATE it.  But after hearing  it every day and listening to my dad tell me stories of the 70's I became interested and learned to fall in love with it, especially my 4 boys.

Whew, I feel better now!  I wanted to wrote this because I've been seeing the most exciting preview on TV for the past couple of days.  On 11/25/2009 at 9pm on the History Channel they are airing The Beatles recoding in Abbey Road studios for the first time ever.  Clips that no one has ever seen before.  So this should be a stellar hour.  I know... It's Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  Just DVR it and watch it in the morning!  I can gaurantee you will not be disappointed!

"You say you got a real solution, Well you know...  We'd all love to see the plan."

An evening thought

Here's something to chew on... Today at work I was sent Dove Chocolate via interoffice mail because I submitted an idea to help cut costs on office supplies.  It was a simple thank you for sending in your idea.  So I open it up and there it says something along the lines of. " Use Evergreen leaves to give your home a Holiday aroma."  - Martha Stewart.

I was SHOCKED.  I'm used to reading Hug someone today.  But apparently Martha has taken over and she is now offering holiday tips inside chocolate! Random, but made my day.

Why I started this Blog

Well here's the reasoning behind it all. I used to write in my journal, but I just can't keep up with dedicating anywhere from a half hour of my day to write.  I am online a lot and it's much easier this way.  So if no one ends up reading this I guess it's a little bit of an online journal for myself. 

I was inspired by friends and just other people to start blogging.  As of now I have nothing specific  that I will always focus on, but do you really need that in the beginning?  I don't want to write about day to day events in my life, because lets admit it I'm sure everyone has a day where they feel it's like the movie Groundhog's Day.  I realize too that a lot of people are doing these things these days and making life more public and out there.  In honesty I am intrigued by it.  Plus for friends that you may not see that often it's a great way to stay updated. 

Hopefully I  will do a good job with this, and if others read it hopefully it will be somewhat interesting or at the very least allow you to waste a good 3-5 minutes of your work day not actually working!  (Thats okay sometimes!)
