I'm doing pharmacy tech TRAINEE. I paid for the cert, just need my fingerprints.
That makes more than my 911 job before I'm even a full tech.

I doubt that. But hey, you do you.
That's the good stuff right there.
Reporting for duty.
I'm off now. Shift went pretty well, overall crew was pleased. Just a few things to work on. I was already familiar with their PCR system and the inventory system.
School until 1300. I can do this.

Wow, no medical calls yesterday. We DID get to play lumberjack after a tree fell into the roadway so we (as our Captain said) did a chainsaw drill instead of Ladder drill lol (luckily no one was hurt, a couple shifts ago, in the quiet part of the island, a tree fell on a car driving on the highway resulting in a whole Auto Extrication assignment of 3 engines, and 2 little old ladies being sent to the hospital...)
Oh, hey my package I ordered finally arrived! 2 weeks and being shipped via USPS First Class!
(granted it shipped from Tennessee so that whole Texas snow and the rest of the country polar vortex thingy probably didn't help... but still lol)
Aaaaand, because of some big quake off of New Zealand (like a 8.0, so yeah, big), we're now under a Tsunami Watch. Guess I'm not going to the beach today...

I have come to realize that I do not like edge painting
There is a trick, if you're OCD like me.

I'm currently disappointed nobody commented on my lupus joke.
Hit a bit of a sore spot for me. I had a teen recently almost die from lupus nephritis after a long series of failure to diagnose, predominantly because they thought she was whining and seeking attention.

Sorry she had that happen to her. It sucks that providers were not listening to her and glad she did not die.
I'm also sorry you did not find humor in an old Dr. House joke. I giggled.
It’s not that I didn’t find the humor, rather its frustrating when there are people who consider themselves healthcare professionals who are quick to dismiss the possibility of serious illness in cases where a benign eitiology is far more likely (although not certain).
I doubt that was your intent, but I do think it can fuel the fire for those who cannot differentiate the joke from reinforcement their own sub par practice.

This two hour round trip daily commute really makes me not want to go to work, but I'll just have to deal with it for at least 6 more months. Luckily it's only 3 times a week.
