the 100% directionless thread

In case anyone is wondering if you look South SouthEast you'll see the Star of Bethlehem aka the Christmas star. Last time it was visible in the sky was about 800 years ago.
 
How cool, from where I'm at in West Texas it is off to the Southwest.

It's too cloudy here.
 
It's too cloudy here.
Too foggy here. Very cool for those of you that got to see it for yourself!! I did get to see Jupiter & Saturn a couple days ago and they were just a couple degrees separated. That was pretty darned cool to see.
 
I always feel like I have a good grasp on Fetal heart tracings when I do my yearly training. Then I transport one and forget everything.
 
Went to try and see the Bethlehem Star. Couldn't find it, turned on a Sky Tracker app, turned out Jupiter and Saturn had already dipped below the horizon relative to us and we missed it 😭

I know its not supposed to be as bright and spectacular still, but aren't they (the two planets) suppose to be still fairly close for a few more nights at least? Hopefully at least still manage a glimpse...
 
I need to go last minute food shopping, get my vyvanse (ADHD is finally gonna get dealt with), get a few more gerbils, decorate, etc.

So much to do. So little time.
 
Dang. Bought something off of eBay. Since I'm on vacation with the fam in California for the next couple weeks, decided to have it shipped there... only for the order confirmation to say the expected delivery date is like 3 days after I fly back. Ooops. Shouldn't really be that surprised with the holiday shipping rush, but didn't think it'd be delayed quite that long. Oh well...

Email them asking to change the shipping address to my regular address. Aaaaand they said due to "security policies" they can't change the shipping address (even though I'm changing it to the same as my billing address...) and I can either let them deliver to the original address (then incur some extra costs and delays on my end having my folks re-mail it to me...) or I can cancel the whole order and re-order from scratch -_-

Ugh
 
Well. I have an overnight sleep study tonight and it could last until 1600 tomorrow.

Just found out they moved it up.

Fingers crossed they can tell me why I'm always tired and have a tough time getting up in the morning no matter when I wake up.

A sleep study that lasts until 1600?
 
Just did a COVID test. Mostly for peace of mind before I travel in a couple days, dont believe CA requires it, but since it was available for free might as well.

Self administered nasal swab, not quite tickle the brain, tho as I was sticking the swab up there, I remembered "NPA goes straight back not straight up" and angled the swab same way and it felt fine, no brain tickles lol. They said results should be available later today though I won't see my email till tomorrow's shift.

Then I go get my vaccine, fly back to LA to visit the family for a week, week and a half or so. 2-3 days before I fly back, get another nasal swab, fly back, wait 3 days, get yet another nasal swab to prove i didn't catch the Rona while on vacation, back to work, and hopefully get vaccine dose number 2 shortly thereafter...
 
NPA goes straight back not straight up
Good way to remember how to properly do the nasopharyngeal swab. I did like 9 of them on my last shift. All but one of them was positive. I've become VERY good at doing these...
 
I slept well enough for them to get data last night. They either saw something to indicate I need the day portion or didn't see something and need more data that indicates I need the day portion. The tech couldn't technically tell me, but he was hinting at the former.

Now I take like an hour nap in between 2 hour awake times and they monitor brain waves.

I might have fallen asleep during the second nap. Third nap coming soon.

I feel like a lab rat.
 
I thought he was coming back in to tell me it's time for another nap, but he gave a lunch menu. 😄

I love lunch.
 
Nevermind. They don't have pot pie and replaced it with dumplings. And there's no baklava.

I didn't know what dumplings were, but now I know they belong in a dump.
 
Got an interview coming up. The flight application is still pending, but this other department could be a fun change. Could have to experience what prolonged transport times are like for the first time ever. From what I heard there are 7 or so spots and twice as many applicants. I reckon a Bachelors degree, CCT, and years of high volume as an ALS provider should give me a good resume to show for myself.
 
Got my Holter monitor interpretation back. They told me what I already know, sometimes my heart beats fast and sometimes slow. At least we've determined it's sinus rhythm.
