As u know, I work every other weekend for now. 16 hrs each day. I work AM shift in another facility, and PM shift in a different facility. It’s so stressful cause I’m always on a hurry to like go to my second job, or like to go home early to sleep for my other job. I just get this feeling of anxiousness and I start to have insomnia on the Friday before the weekend. But it’s kind of ok since I do nothing in between this every other weekend work… I semiquit my other job. I had three part time jobs at one point… lol
Anyways the weekend was HELL. By the time I got home on Saturday my legs were so sore and I felt like throwing up. I tried to call off the next day but the night nurse wouldn’t fucking let me. I was just like “ohshit cant it be your problem now to look for a replacement??” Really pissed me off lol.
So the next day on Sunday I was really like out of myself. I would go around in circles most of the time, trying to think what I was gonna do, what I was supposed to do. It was just crazy cause I was both tired mentally and physically.
And my AM job sucks. There’s no communication at all between the supervisors. I don’t know what the shit’s happening in the facility. Incoming shift don’t give a crap about you, and don’t even help you. Call lights are ignored all the time. I heard the record for longest unanswered call light was two fucking hours wtf. And then they’re all about customer service and shit. Can’t call lights be answered efficiently then since they’re all about customer service?? =_= Chris told me to quit that job if I’m so stressed and stuff, but the thing is I’m getting paid more by like 2 bucks. I think I can hold on to it for awhile for now before I get offered a full time job @_@
Saturday highlights…
AM job:
- one crisis intervention. Resident was threatening to leave and this receptionist bitch tried to like intervene when she dont even know wtf she was doing =_= Called the administrator and shit. Handled it real good tho =) Felt like it was a great moment for me as a nurse really
- one death =( RIP to that grandma cause I didnt even know her name…
- one transfer
- one fall (ugh not good on my record I try to avoid falls on my shift wtf)
- five IVs in two hours xO
PM job:
- two infiltrated IVs, but two successful IV restarts :D one was twice attempted, the other was first attempt and I got it =)
- 7 IVs in one shift. Holy crap the most I’ve seen in this facility lol
Sunday highlights
AM job:
- had to redo the work assignment cause one CNA called in sick. what a pain in the ass omg
- same patient from Saturday was doing another episode of threatening to leave. Learned never to expect pt to feel the same the next day lol. And don’t ever use “Remember when…” sentence. It never works. LOL
- five IVs again
PM job:
- same IV I got yesterday was pulled out again. Stupid AM shift supervisor didnt even attempt to start it again to finish her dose. It was so funny no wonder she was trying so desperately to “help me” restart my IV.
- stupid charge nurse didnt tell me that the AM supervisor left her a paper to fill out until the end of the shift. when i was about to restart the IV… fml really im getting annoyed with this charge nurse she’s so lazy.
I love my PM job btw. Everybody else seems to hate it already tho =( Which I really don’t want. If they all quit, I’m gonna quit too lol @_@ They make it fun to work there =/
Before Jack in the Box started selling their Mini Sirloin Burgers commercially, the only other place you could find sliders are restaurants like BJ’s or Cheesecake Factory. And of course the ever famous White Castle from the Harold and Kumar movie, but we don’t have no White Castles here except for the ones from the frozen goods section =(
Now they’re like everywhere. Burger King now has them. JB got a new one, the Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich. I’ve yet to taste both.
Then Red Robin brought their steak ones back. Omg I had them today and although it was really good, it was really hard to bite into. I kept on chewing in it for like 2-3 minutes and I still couldn’t break down the thing. My salivary enzymes aren’t enough to soften it up D: I kept on spitting it out cause I didn’t want to swallow. I kept on thinking it would take my liver days to break down the thing lol.
I just thought it was interesting how sliders are becoming popular.
So school’s out, and I’m back to being a super lazy bum D: Oh shit I dunno why, but I missed the feeling of not doing a lot of things. But I feel like I’m back to where I was before I started working, except I still work (occasionally) and I do have the money.
I do want to work full time, but it’s like I’m waiting for this job opportunity at LA County… I really don’t give a crap where I start working. But my mom’s been giving me these ideas it’s better to start at the county hospital cause the fucking name sounds good.
I’m definitely easily brainwashed. Imo lol. I think this is evident with my multiple fandoms and what not.
Speaking of money, I’ve been getting some money come in lately and nothing to spend on. I do have the occasional JPOP purchases (STILL?? CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SH8T lol) and some manga when they start to be on 4-for-3 prices. And of course video games, DVDs, and CDs all catered to the American culture. I can say I’ve become definitely assimilated with the general population of my dwelling lmao.
Honestly I feel like by the time I turn 23, I should definitely quit Jpop (which means goodbye Lead) and since I still possess some fascination with Japanese stuff, just continue watching dramas from time to time anyway. My money’s being spent on CDs and DVDs that I never even open anymore. It’s just not normal LOL.
Want to do some faux soul searching of my own tho. I’m going back to school again September, I feel like I have some time in between to do something meaningful in my life. I want to continue my studies, but I feel like Nursing’s not really it. I’m leaning towards the idea of trying out anthropology more, thanks to my Medical Anthropology class but my mom’s just really all against it. Dunno why but even in life, I’m always “attack all around” you know.
I feel like spending my money on a new iPod, a new digicam, and maybe an iMac. Things I definitely don’t need, but feel like getting just to be unbored or something.
I’m planning to watch a bunch of Jdrama next week… or whatever. Hopefully lol.
Spring 09 dramas:
- BOSS
- Smile (just cause Matsujun’s char is supposedly half Filipino lol)
Winter 09 drama:
- VOICE
lol so far all of them are like titles with ONE word. dunno what else to watch. any recommendations??
and it seems like medical dramas are popular right now wow
This weekend I’m working 16-hrs. I don’t really wanna go to work for this reason… LOL. Wishing I would get sick just so I could really call in sick is like =_= I think I want to quit my 3rd job? I’m looking for a full time job…
APU called me last Tuesday. They said I got in and can start the BSN program this September, but it’s the online one. I want to go for the once-a-week class too, but I’m afraid the next one starts January since the September cohort is full already. Whatever I guess.
I have been chilling at home mostly and I’M LOVING IT. How nice this kind of life is… I guess if I only love my job I would be willing to go everyday, but at this point I don’t really like keeping three different jobs at the same time.
Next week I’m planning to meet most of my friends. Oh yeah how nice. I wanna go on vacation this summer too. Dunno where just get me out of here I guess lol. I think I saved enough money already anyway.
