So I haven't really updated my WIP pic. I really haven't stitched since tuesday =-O So this is what it looks like now and I'm off to see if I can stitch on it some more, which I doubt b/c it's 3 in the AM and I work tmr and want to go to sleep. Nighty night.

I think I survived

Well I didn't get any sleep yesterday until 11pm when I truly knocked out. The day/night wasn't over for me though I so had to wake up after 15 minute *ugh*. I'm soooooo tired right now, not so much sleepy but my body just feels sluggish. I don't think I'm gonna try something like that again for a while. How people stay up for over 24 hours I'll never understand.

The concert was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! The fact that is was free and it didn't rain was even nicer hehe. I'll try to get some pics up later on right now I don't have the patience to do it. We all had fun and since it was "close" to Kelly's house we walked home which took like an hour (15 min ride on the train mind you) The euphoria from the concert quickly wore off once we actually got over the Brooklyn Bridge. I want to stitch or read today but really all I feel like doing is laying here. Kelly is on his way over and hates it when I'm not ready but today he'll just have to deal with it because I'm taking a nap.

I'm sooooooooooo sluggish! Later

Hello there

Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom with the door closed I hear this little sniff sound, actually it's not little it's long and loud. It makes me smile. If I open the door I get to see a little black face smiling at me and wagging its tail. Best feeling in the world I tell you LOL.

Work was work nothing new there. I'm off the weekend which is going to go by so fast. It's so hectic that I don't even have time to sleep! How's that for hectic? I just hope I survive. I figure a cat nap on the train will help some...right? Anyhoo just wanted to say hello to whoever reads this. I'm going to yet another concert, I go to one and I want to go to all of them I tell you hehe. This one is free and at the City Hall Park, it's a bit dreary outside so I just hope it doesn't get rained out. Later gator's...

More pics

I guess you can only post a certain amount per post because they wouldn't let me add these earlier, but here go some more pics
Kelly and I at my cousin's daughter's christening
My prized gingher scissor collection, I hide it from myself so I don't know that I have a collection and don't keep adding to it lol

Me and the doggies on the mean streets of New York City

More to come...

Just Pics

Here are some pics from our zoo trip, as well as others...thought I'd share :)


These are some butterflies from the butterfly garden

I think Gary looks cute as a bumblebee...bzzzzz
Showing off some of the goods

This is my ultimate favorite picture of my niece, I never was allowed to get my face painted when I was younger so I pretty much let her do it with no questions asked. Her dad would probably have a shit fit that I did but he was in Ecuador and doubt he'll find out lol. Doesn't she look so cute?
The kids riding a bug
A bit blurry - I don't know what its called
The kids made sure this was behind a glass before they got anywhere near it
This is the view from the uber teeny balcony that Kelly has
A pretty green snake :)
This peacock got out of its pen and was just casually walking around, it actually chased my neice.

Quickie post!

Just a quick WIP picture. Last night I worked mainly on the backstitch to the bottom half and started stitching on the top. Not much but I'm getting here. I'm taking my neice to the zoo, wonder if my nephew is going to tag along too or if my sister is taking him to Ecuador with her today or if she's leaving him home. Must run and shower!

At work stitching...

Finally got a break at work last night, I only took 1 hour off the floor but let me tell you - not having to worry about anyone for 1 hour out of the 12 that I'm there is wonderful! So anyway I put my hour to good use, I read for about 20 min and the rest I stitched on Spooky Spots. I'm looking forward to tonight, I plan to stitch the night away :)
Sooooooooo here's my at work porgress

Update pic

So this is my update WIP pic, not much but I had fun with it. I made my cousin and BF Kelly pose with it - such good sports lol.






And this is the final WIP pic - I'm going to bed now, will continue to stitch tomorrow or once I'm off

Been trying to stitch but...

things keep coming up! I swear I wish there were more hours in the day. I've brought my stitching out like a zillion times today and yesterday and have put like 4 stitches each time. I know they add up because it shows but I would truly like a long uninterrupted stretch of time so I can stitch!

I got my new camera in the mail today and was so excited. I've been taking pictures all day. It's amazing what you find pictures to take of, actually most of my pictures are of Kelly, Ana, and my cousins, but still the moments you capture when you have a camera.

Saw Talldega Nights tonight OMG if that movie isn't worth every penny spent then I don't know which movie is. It was soooooooo funny! I think I might see it again on Thursday either that or the 9/11 movie. Kelly doesn't want to see it but I think I can talk him into it.

Okies so I think that's all for tonight, I work tomorrow and should get some rest, I wanted to stitch but just looked at the timeand it's really too late to do that. I'm just gonna finish watching The Closer that I tivo'd earlier (love tivo!!) and go to sleep. Here's my WIP enjoy!!!

Spooky Spots WIP pic

Well here's an update pic, this is the 3rd day I've stitched on this maybe 3hrs total? I decided to do some of the backstitching tonight because it was starting to look like just a bunch of letters without a purpose and I was starting to get discouraged but now I wish I didn't have to go to sleep so I could stitch more, right now I'm going to hit the sack and read Confessions of a Shopaholic for a while - good book so far :)
Well nighty night!

My new stitchings :)

Shepherd's Bush Spooky Spots


I tried to stitch on Elizabeth's Designs Spring from her season's club but it just wasn't grabbing my attention so I went online to look at some things and decided to give this a try. I'm going to stop for tonight I think I've only put an hour into it so it's not much, but maybe tomorrow when Kelly is at work I'll stitch on it some more. It's going to be hot tomorrow or rather today high 90s but it will fell like 103, today was the same *ugh* horrible weather, so I'll most likely stay in and stitch in the AC :)
Nighty night!

I have something to blog about again

Just came back from my first concert ever - sawBloc Party, Secret Machines, and Mew at McCarren Pool Park and it was great! I had fun although I'm beat now. Can't wait to go to another concert. Never heard of the other 2 bands I was really there for Bloc Party but they were good too, I'm listening to mew now. I'm in love all over again with Bloc Party lol...wish Kelly would have came but he had to work...oh well next time maybe. He prob wouldn't have enjoyed himself since we have different taste in music.

Up next tmr on my last day off is to go buy floss to start stitching again. All of my things are stored away in the closet and honestly it's just easier to buy new things then to go search for them *sigh*

Later gators!

I'm still here and I stitched!

Hello all :)
I'm still here but haven't blogged in a while, there hasn't been much to say really. I'm still at the same job and desperately need a vacation before I strangle someone. Its like people in the hospital are getting crazier and crazier, what happened to the nice patients?!?!?
I'm off for the next 4 days so I hope I find some sort of patience to deal with the crazies as I call them.

I haven't stitched in what seems like forever - maybe close to 2 years? So that's another reason I haven't blogged BUT the stitching bug must have bit me in the past weeks because I picked up something I was working on and finished it *yea* hence the reason I'm blogging. I'll show a pic in a while dunno how good it will come out since my scanner is old now and well not working the way it use to. I'm going to take it to get framed and give it to my mum for her b-day this September.

While stitching today I realized that I missed it, I hope to stitch something after this just don't know what or when I'll muster up the strength to go through my stitching boxes. The day light in Kelly's new apt is so f-ing awesome that it really makes it a pleasure to stitch there. I usually keep the shades closed since the north side of the building looks right into the south side (he's on the south side) and you can pretty much see everything when you look in (I should know I'm always looking from the balcony hehe)

Saturday I'm going to my first concert ever lol - I'm going to see Bloc Party my fav band!!! Hope it goes well. My cousin is taking me to my second concert in August which will probably be totally different from this one since we're going to see O.A.R.

Ahhh...well I will try to keep up but in the meantime enjoy the finished unframed picture of my new finish. TTFN

Oh BTW - It's Green Old Gardens by Elizabeth Design's

I've been trying to blog since Thursday and something just keeps getting in the way!

I wanted to write all about this book obsession that I have. It seems I can't stop buying books. Its ridiculous I keep telling myself, and everyone who asks me, don't you have enough books, "This is the last one I swear." My rational for buying so many books and making it ok is - if I don't buy it right then and there I'm going to forget the title and end up missing a potentially awesome read. Well anyway as previously mentioned I'm running out of space to put them, so after the 3 other books I MUST buy that's it no more books for me for a while.

I had my tooth extracted yesterday - I hope I never have to go through that again. I had them knock me out but thanks to my lifetime movie watching I can't help but think of what could have happened while I was sleeping LOL. I know I could have stayed awake but I'm chicken shit and had them give me general anesthesia. I must confess I love anesthesia, I've never had a problem with it and when I wake up it's like I've been on vacation, but yesterday I was so out of it that I think I may think twice before getting it again unless it's necessary. This morning I wake up and I'm like did I pay whatever I owed the doctor? Did I leave my debit card with them? The lady said something about spitting what was it? I don't even remember walking out of the office, plus I woke up nauseous with a killer headache and lightheaded. I don't know if it's from that, the Tylenol #3 (which btw did nothing for my pain,) or the antibiotics since I took the last pill on an empty stomach. I honestly think it's the antibiotics with the lightheadedness being associated with the codiene , I can't remember if the last time I was amoxicillin if I was able to tolerate it and for the love of me I can't remember it's brand name and was too zonk out to look it up.

To make things worse I have a pill swallowing phobia, I just can't swallow pills. When I was younger forget about it give me a pill and I could take it without water now - UH UH there's no way I'm taking it unless deemed absolutely necessary. I know amoxicillin came in a liquid form and wanted to ask for that instead but my pride wouldn't let me hehe. I'm like counting down the time until I can brush my teeth. I called the dentist's office this morning to go over the instructions I couldn't remember and apparently I can't spit for 24 hours. I feel so nauseous now that I pray I can wait that long.

I haven't seen Kelly in over a week and am missing him like CRAZY!!! Since I'm on vacation as of Thursday I had to work like a dog the last week and had no time to see him. Yesterday I told him to stay home since all I wanted to do was sleep and today he works :(

Ana's been Ana - she barked at all of visitors yesterday, so it's confirmed that when I'm not feeling well she's protective over me. Gross alert - I just let it go so much for waiting 24 hours, 22 hours is close enough right? Now my "tooth" is hurting :( But I feel much better LOL.

Kyle is proving to be a handful, even patient Ana looks at us like he's still here? It wouldn't be too bad if we actually knew how old he was then we could be like "he's still a puppy." So we're starting to think he's either younger than we were told or is going to have a long puppyhood. There's no in between with him it's either super hyper or super lazy where you can't move him to get whatever he's laying on. The good thing is that he makes you laugh. Kelly thinks he's dumb but I think deep down inside he knows what he's doing. When you tell him to stop doing something he'll just sit down and look at you like "ok I'll stop I don't care" and 2 seconds later he's back to doing it again and when you tell him to stop again this time screaming because you must have told him a gazillion times to stop doing the same thing you would think he got the picture he looks at you like "ok I'll stop I don't know what the big deal is, whatever."

Whenever he does something bad you can easily tell because Ana runs from the scene of the crime and you see Kyle there doing whatever he's not suppose to be doing oblivious to you standing over him. You can't help but laugh afterwards. It's really like whatever happened to the unconditional love and the eagerness to please that you get from adopted dogs?!?!?! Ana sometimes hides from him, she's even nipped at him a few times at first I use to stop it but ignoring it seems to be better, he gets the picture to leave her alone, that is after the hundreth time of her growling at him, which trust me is an improvement!

Well I think I'll try to get dressed and kill the time until I can wash my mouth - I think I've covered the basics, if not I'll blog more later on- TTYL :)

Meet Kyle

This is Kyle, he's our new addition. We had to put Kobe down in October, something I didn't want to share because I never really accepted it until I saw his ashes in a box in Kelly's closet. Well anyway Kelly has been lonely at home and if you knew Kelly then seeing him without a dog is hard to imagine, so he/we adopted Kyle from a rescue group in December.

Kyle's a 1.5-2 year old Bull Terrier who's as crazy as they come. We think he may be either younger than 1.5 or maybe at the 1.5 mark but definitely not 2. He's full of soooooo much energy, so not like Kobe and Ana. The first night with him I didn't think it would work but he can actually be both, there is no in between with him. It's either I'm being lazy right now or come on let's play. Ana's pretty eh with him. She'll play with him but I think he may have too much puppy energy with her, if he looked like a small puppy I'm pretty sure she'd have more patience with him but since he's bigger than her in size and weight she snaps at him when she's had enough and of couse Kyle just keeps nagging her to play. One thing that works to stop this is music - Sade and Jack Johnson calm him down. In the car he'll put his ears close to the speaker to listen. It's pretty cute, he's sort of like Kobe in that way, music always soothed him, he loved to be sung to. The books we've read have said that Bull Terrier's are comical and that he is sometimes. He likes to move things like shoes. He hasn't chewed on any yet but if you leave your shoes out he'll walk by them pick one up without stopping and just drop it somewhere and come back to you. It makes me laugh when I see him do it. Yesterday we went grocery shopping and in Kelly's building they have the bellboy thing to put luggage in and we used that to bring up the groceries, well when I left the apartment to put some laundry in the wash, Kelly came behind me and left the thing in the kitchen where Kyle was sniffing it and when we come back Kyle is in it just sitting there. It was funny. For halloween I, of course, want to paint the bull's eye over his eye in red so he can be the Target dog but I don't know how it'll work with that black spot over his eye and Kelly has already said no to the idea.

Still no stitching for me, although I've been buying lots lately, which gives me the itch to stitch so who knows next post may be a WIP or a finish. I've been reading like it's been going out of style, so atleast I'm doing something I love. I'm going to maybe start that bookcrossing thing because I'm running out of space to put them. My dad told me the other days that I'm going to need a new house soon and if I ever plan on moving out of here I think it may be true because no teeny affordable apartment is going to hold all of my junk. Well I'm off from work for a while. I've been fixing my schedule so that I work most of my days in the beginning of the work month and then off for a long stretch towards the end. If I can get like that in the summer maybe I'll plan some short trips. Well I'm off I spent most of the day yesterday sleeping and don't want to waste anymore of my off time, although I may go back to bed to read some more before showering and starting my day. TTYL!!!

Question...

I'm sitting here thinking of the past. And would like to know how many people would leave their friends for a potential future partner?

I had lots of friends before meeting Kelly. Kelly was actually my old BFFs cousin. The friends that I had didn't "approve" of my relationship with him. Dunno why, they never told me. After dating him for maybe 3-4 months I had to make the decision of them or him. It was pretty sucky, of course you may already know I chose him. During those 3-4 mo I saw a pretty ugly side of my friends. So although I felt that I would probably regret my decision I really didn't want to be associated with such people - they turned really ugly and I mean REALLY UGLY.

Today I sit at this computer and am actually glad I chose him over them, he's my best friend and the greatest guy I've ever met. Although when he's in a crappy mood I probably think otherwise, but right now I'm really happy with my decision. And I don't think besides the time we were having problems have I ever regretted what I chose. I know there are some out there that would swear by their friends and would never do what I did, but oh well, I guess I'm different, I feel that really you have your BFF and then you have your SO and eventually, if you're lucky your SO replaces your BFF and you have everything in one. I'm also pretty sure they aren't as close as they were since getting older and what ever I missed is nothing compared to what I've experienced with Kelly.

He's a cool guy and now I have to go and get ready because he's on his way and hates that I'm never ready when he gets here hehe. Later gators!

PS - For some reason I can't fix that pic of Ana and my cousin *grrr* so sorry about not being able to see it :(

To everything bad there's always something good. It's true, remember my rant and rave about the Queen of Evil and Lardass? Well there's actually a nurse on the floor that totally erases what those two do, well for the night she does once I see the Queen it's sort of like "blah." She's taking some time off next month, I think she may be taking the first 3 weeks off and Lardass is going on va-cay soooooo "Yipee!" LOL. Well back to this nurse, she is the greatest to be around. She reminds me of the old nurses that I use to work with before they closed the floor. She's so helpful (being a new nurse this is muy importante) and she doesn't make you feel like you should really know it when in fact don't. I like working with her. Last night was just a great night for me, I'm so glad I didn't call out sick. I didn't even feel like crap last night (been feeling extremely tired with a headache for the past month dunno if I mentioned it.) I don't know how long me liking my floor will last because I think the next day I work Lardass works *sigh* but I also think the greatest nurse also works too, we'll see how this balances out.

I work Thanksgiving eve and Thanksgiving day, so I'll be thankful this year for the time and a half which will aid in buying Christmas gifts this year LOL. I've been craving turkey ever since I smelled a drunk on the train, it cracked me up. Usually the smell of a drunk is nauseating but this drunk smelled like whatever my aunts season the turkey with.

Dunno if I'll go shopping on black friday. I have a doctor's appt that I've been putting off for a week. I know what he has to tell me and I don't know if I'm ready to deal with it. I was suppose to go today but alas I'm here blogging.

Besides the bad news the doctor is going to give me and me feeling like crap all the time (it's so bad I almost fainted at work I had to sit and eat a high sugar snack - that's the only part I like about this LOL) everything else is fine. Ana is acting crazy, my mother says it's because she's getting old but if that's the case I'd hate to see her when she's really old because Ana's going on 4 and that's not old in my book. She's just been barking alot at things she never barked at before. I now seriously think that she may be able to deter any break-ins. The other day the deliverymen came to take away our mattress' and put in the new ones and she had a fit! Same thing when the gas man came. She's still ok if I take her out, she's still wanting EVERYONE to pet her. She met a dog the other nights and she decided to socialize when she was sniffing the dog she was like "eh" and went crazy with the dogs owner. It was funny you just had to be there.

Ok well I'm gone. I'm going to share one of my fav pics of my Halloween party (a month later) it's of your truly (Ana) and my cousin. He dressed up as a wolf and I thought it be cute if they took a picture together. Well Ana was a little scared of the costume at one point I guess she was confused. My other cousin captioned the picture as "Are you my daddy?" It's not a good pic but good enough to share. TTFN!

I'm off :)

The gave me the night off tonight. I actually realized that they started calling people and giving them the day/night off so I went to the office this morning after finishing my shift and requested it. It wasn't for sure if I'd get it off or not so I still had to sleep and get ready but once I got the call I went straight back to bed. I've been so sleepy lately, like really sleepy. I'm going to go to the doctor to see what is wrong with me because I don't feel right. Next time I go back to work is Thursday because I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. After that I don't think I can call out anymore though, I probably can but I won't chance it.

I'm throwing a Halloween party tomorrow for the little ones in my family. All togethere there are 5 of them. Five loud and energetic kids plus Ana. Gary will be here and when those 2 get together all you hear is thumping and jumping. I hope they have fun tomorrow, I know I'll be tired but with getting the day off it will help me out. I never knew throwing a party was so much work, but the nice thing is everyone we (my cousin is helping me) invited offered to bring something. The party is usually held at my grandmother's house, but because I have 2 aunts that are not so nice and don't want people visiting anymore it has moved to my house. It's a shame these 2 are so evil. I come from a pretty big family so there is always some drama going on but I've noticed these 2 are the primary trouble makers.

Well it's late, I'm going to watch some TV, make some treat bags and then I guess go to sleep. Bye now :)

Where do I begin?

Let's see if I can make this interesting because it will be long...

I work with people that I don't like. Correction I work with 2 people I don't like. I don't think I can complain enough about them for me to feel good. They make my job so unplesant that I want to leave. It's gotten to a point where I try to defy them every chance I get, which of course, since one of these persons is my superior, can't be good. The other one I don't care about because if I don't stand up for myself and tell her off she'll just try to run all over me. I don't bother to look either one of them in their faces, which may seem like a timid thing to do but I was raised that it's just a sign of disrespect. I can tell one of them doesn't like it *insert evil laugh* she must have been raised the same way I was.

I don't think I should be bothered by either one on my days off but, for some reason, I am. Lardass (I made sure it was a word - and by the way she really deserves this name) is one of the laziest nurses I've ever seen. I usually don't wish harm to patients, as a matter of fact I don't wish harm to any patients, no matter how evil they are, but the last night I worked I was wishing that this one patient fell. It got to a point that I wanted to place her gently on the floor and throw something to make it sound as if this person fell. I must have told her a gazillion times "your patient is half off the bed and seems to be in pain" and a gazillion times she told me "I just came from in there and she looked just fine." A gazillion times I thought to myself "Bullshit I've been sitting next to you all this time and not once have you gotten up!" This patient was destined to fall with what was wrong with her, I felt so bad that I even put her back to bed myself. She never did any rounds, or does for that fact, on her patients. Then in the morning she goes to the doctor, "Oh I was so worried about (insert name) last night." Huh?!?!?! The only thing she was worried about was that message board she always go to while she's there.

Hospital's, I know, aren't the cleanest places. But I swear I've never seen a nasty nurse in my life before. Maybe I'm just not seasoned enough and they have them out there, but with all of your knowledge on germs and stuff, why would you be nasty? Well, Lardass is just gross. She smells, but I contribute that to her size, I swear she weighs like 400+ lbs (no offense to those that are big and don't smell) but even her breath smells like she doesn't brush her teeth. The other night I didn't even want to walk pass her or touch anything she had just finished touching. I wanted to wipe down everything that even looked like she had looked at, it's that bad. She was coughing, sneezing, and blowing her nose. I know there is nothing wrong with that. When I was sick I was doing the same thing but the difference between us is that I would blow my nose in the bathroom and wash my hands right after, and if I didn't go to the bathroom to do this I would definitely still wash my hands right after. My hands got to a point that they hurt from so much washing, but I know this is the way to do it and so do others. How do I know? A co-worker of mine called me to the nurses station and made me stand back and look at her work station. Can I tell you that we were both grossed out. Everytime she would blow her nose it seemed that she was just throwing the tissue on the floor, she didn't even bother to aim at the trash can! Then with her chair she was rolling all on the tissue's so it looked like they were decopagged to the floor. She never covered her mouth when she coughed and while she was on the phone she coughed right into it. That was it for me I took the long way everytime I went to see my patients or went into the nurses station, just so I wouldn't have to pass to close to her. I held my breath everytime I had to get near her and even washed my hands a few times. I even stood up to do my work so I didn't have to sit any where near her and believe me when I say that every chance a nurse gets to sit she takes it, so I was sacrificing ALOT. Maybe I'm just over-reacting? I almost yelled out NOOOOOOOO! when a doctor picked up her phone to use. But when the "Queen of Everything Evil" picked it up I just laughed.

Both of them make everything a project, things that I could find a solution to with no problem they have to make a big fiasco about, always commenting negative about situations. I'm telling you if I was a doctor I wouldn't want my patient on the floor for the simple fact that the way the "Queen of Everything Evil" speaks she may offend one of them.

Exihbit A: Patient "it's too hot in here and I'm signing myself out if something doesn't get fixed" was complaining that his room was hot. I don't know what was wrong but half of the unit was hot the other half cold and in the middle it was ok. Well, I was told that when patient "I'm going home tonight" leaves to move patient "it's too hot" into his room. I think to myself great he'll be happy to know he's getting a new room. I go into the new room to check the temp and OMG had anyone realized that it's the same in that room?!?!? There was a room down the hall that was closed due to it being cold. Why not put the patient in that room I asked. Lardass says, "I was told not to put anyone in that room because it's cold and I just went into that room and it's like 40 degrees in there." In my head I'm like when did you go in there, when they were re-doing the room and hadn't put in the windows yet?!? But it came out as, "I just went in there and it was not 40 but 65 and this guy keeps his apt at 65." She still tells me the same bullshit. I take the patient to look at the room and he loves the temp, so I tell him I'll call the supervisor, tell her about the problem, and most likely she'll open the room up for you. He must have thanked me a gazillion times as well as his visitors. Since I went over her head, Lardass didn't like this and made the move into a huge project. She kept asking me questions about him that I didn't know, and I don't think she liked that I wouldn't find out the answer for her but kept telling her, since he's moved he's not in my district hence not my patient anymore. It felt good telling her these things. Well I digress, this was suppose to be about the "Queen of Everything Evil" so I'll get back to that.

Lardass has to give report to the Queen, when she tells her about the move, the Queen starts to yell things like, "Pt. "it's too hot in here" didn't want to move out of the room because it was too hot, he wanted to move because his pain of a mother started complaining that she didn't like the room." HUH?!?!? Is this how we talk about people as a superior?!? Does she know that the station is full of doctors and that this patient's doctor is standing right behind her??????? Does she know because of the location of the hospital we, as healthcare professional's, must bend over backwards to make our patient's happy? And screw the location, we want our patients to come back, we want them to go to friends and say "Hey that hospital was good and the staff was great - two thumbs up" no matter where the hospital is located. They are the reason we're in business and get paid every two weeks. My old nursing supervisor would have NEVER made a comment like that - EVER! I was truly mortified that she said something like that, for everyone to hear! She just doesn't know how to talk. I swear I've never heard her not complain and even when she's talking to someone it's in an evil voice.

I can't take it. The thought that I can't leave until after I complete a year is killing me, they make me feel like I want to give up any experience I can legitimately take with me to another hospital so I can get paid more and just leave. The floor itself is not bad, most of the people that work there are cool but these two just make it impossible. I never wanted to work on a specialty unit unless it was PEDS or Labor & Delivery but I'm seriously thinking of going to either a) the ER *shudder* or b) CCU. Well if you've gotten this far thanks for taking the time out to read. I'm going to get a well deserved mani/pedi and try to forget about the horror of people I work with and hope for your sake next time you have to be hospitalized you don't run into monsters like these two. TTFN :)
