What do you do to pass the time?

I play with my phone a lot. I check Facebook and EMTLife a lot while on shift. I usually bring one textbook (either Hills Chemistry, Ravens Biology, or Clinically Oriented Anatomy) too, but usually I only read a couple of pages at max. The only book that I've made good progress in in my opinion is Ravens Biology. The other textbooks I've read about half or less than half of it. I slowly go through the book. I put a lot of time into memorizing stuff like the steps to the Kreb's cycle is an old one, the 20 common amino acids, etc. It may depend on which textbook I am reading like if I am reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, I'll spend a lot of time memorizing the different bone markings on the bone, and what attaches to it, what action is associated with it, or if I am reading Hills Chemistry, I'll review over the gas laws, memorize some more parts of the periodic table, look up different elements online via my phone, etc. Sometimes I'll study Santa Clara County's protocols and policies, or the other day I was reading the summary of HIPAA since there was a discussion on it here and JPINFV posted up that link on the summary. I'll do a lot of staring blankly out of the window too which is another popular activity to do. I went to an ITLS and medical Spanish class the last couple of weeks for CEs, and I reviewed a lot of the stuff that I was taught in both class. I knew some Spanish from Wingstop, but didn't know a lot of medical Spanish so I was practicing that with my partner. My partner brought her jump rope yesterday and I was showing off to her how I can criss cross it and double jump it. Pretty much a lot of random things in bits and pieces.

Read, read, read. It can't help to be knowledgeable :rolleyes:

But along with FB, EMTlife and dinking around on my phone. Or cooking.

Some people say baseball is americas passtime (or is that football), I say its porn.

Also I work on cars in my spare time. Currently priming my mustang, piece by piece.

If you haven't seen Avenue Q's "The Internet is for Porn", google it.

Not sure if the mods would like me posting it directly. ;)
