12 hour days wear you out

[cornerofmadness]

okay technically I only worked 11 of them. The other hour was spent bleeding into tubes to make the doctor happy on monday. Well,he won't be happy since we all know my blood work won't be good. BTW, Phleb, it's not good patient care to treat the patient like they aren't even there while you bitch to your coworkers about how your idiot husband took your money and your ATM card this morning. I would have forgiven that if you hadn't gotten snotty with me when I told you no tape to my skin. I'm allergic thanks for asking.


I had to talk penises today. You just know that class was rocking low.

Me - why do women get UTI's more

class - short urethras

Me - right. Males who get UTI's often have some underlying medical condition

Class - are there other causes

Me - age can play a role or if you're having to cath yourself regularly or playing with soundings.

class - what's a sounding.

me - google it later (knowing damn well they'll google it now)

Me - okay let's talk scrotum. (Meanwhile the guy in front's eyes are getting bigger and bigger as he scrolls thru his lap top and his bald head is getting redder and redder. The girls around him are leaning over to see what he's seeing, half the class is on the floor.

Class- HOW did you know about that?"

Me - i DID mention I used to work ER's in NYC right?


As for the rest of the day, stress city and yes all because of the same person (and I was not the only one howling for her blood this time)

I hate Lady Gaga. I think she sounds just like Madonna in the 80's with no originality at all and a voice that makes me want to throw my head back and howl. TOday I came across this hysterical send up Rips off Madonna So apparently the new music has gotten a whole lot of people thinking she ripped off Madonna and she is taking it well, read it for yourself.



Day Twenty-One: Favorite female character screwed over by canon



Really, I'm not sure I can think of anyone else who got so screwed over by canon. I loved Tara. I was iffy on her being Willow's girlfriend at first more because Willow never showed any signs of being bisexual before this but I liked Tara and quickly grew to love her as Willow's lover. She's more quiet and less snarky than most of my choices but no less smart and resourceful.

I would have been content if she chose to just leave the show, disappointed but okay with it. To have her die needlessly really burned me up. (and I was angry on Amber's behalf when I met her at a con and she was telling us about the network being on her case for being overweight and couldn't help wondering if that played a role). I got even angrier when Willow ended up Kennedy.


So I heard ALL this barking all night last night and thought oh great it's the neighbor girl's new schnauser, the bark machine. Well when I left this morning, it turned out to be 2 puppies. One black lab with fluff in him (like golden or maybe irish setter or collie) and one reddish brown fluffy one. I had two thoughts a) the neighbors got puppies and are letting the courtyard watch them b) someone abandoned puppies.

I got back tonight and the black one was gone but red is still there. I call him Breda. Turns out my neighbor DID bring them to the courtyard. Some asshole dropped them on the highway and she rescued them. One of the other neighbors had a friend who scooped up the black one. She thinks someone might come for Breda in a day or two or else we'll take him to the no kill rescue in Zaleski.





seriously isn't that the sweetest face? I'd keep Breda if I had a lifestyle conducive to dogs which I currently do not. Don't ask what's around his neck. Hillbilly collar/leash

Tell your neighbor thank you for rescuing them for me. Breda's adorable. Just adorable, and that's a perfect name for him.

And Amber wasn't fat! She wasn't! She just wasn't stick thin like Allie or Sarah or any of the other women on the show. Amber looked like a girl with curves and stuff.

You have to be the favoritest teacher at that college, I swear.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I've never understood the whole Amber is fat. She's a tiny little nothing.

Joss has sias that if Willow had still been with Oz, he would have died instead and I believe that.

I actually think Cordelia got screwed much worse.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Me either about Amber's weight

Well hearing Joss say that is oddly comforting. still doesn't excuse Kennedy

yeah I guess Cordy did but since I never really cared much about her, I went with Tara

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I will. isn't he just cute?

she most definitely wasn't.

i think they do like me

[bay115.livejournal.com]

me - google it later (knowing damn well they'll google it now)

*snorts* Reminds me when one of my professors said to the class to google later so that he can move the lecture going, only for most of the class to google it while he was talking. Also, LOL at the students' reactions to sounding.

I too hate Lady Gaga. My IRL friends can't get enough of her and the few sites I go to they keep talking about how great she is. Urgh.

Aw, Breda's cute! Yay for him being rescued.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yeah they google stuff all the time while i'm talking then whine they didn't get what i was saying.

I think she's a hack. Supposedly she has training in classical music or something but she's like Madonna drunk kareoke to me.

yeah i hope they find him a good home

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

OMG that puppy. . .

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

He's adorable. IF he wasn't in Ohio, and IF he wasn't a boy, and IF...well, you know how I am.

No, not at all, and she was very sweet, too.

I'd imagine if nothing else, you're quite the interesting prof.

I must be...

[ookamikagakusha.livejournal.com]

really niave with some things still even at my age. I had to google "sounding" and um...well ewww to that. I used to work in the ER as well, and some people that came in were...not the sharpest tool in the shed. Example: light bulb + emergency corrective surgery to certain lower areas that are related to said topic.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

AWWWWW he's adorable!!!!

Re: I must be...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i mean it's so easy to buy toys online these days do we really still need to use light bulbs?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he is

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i do. he's going to be a big boy

she was

i hope so at any rate

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't he so cute

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yup. I can see that from the way he looks as a puppy. XD

I'm sure you are. You always entertained me. XD

Re: I must be...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's a subject that needs some light shined on it?


DUCKS

Re: I must be...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you'd better duck. i know where to find you

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he'll be a handsome boy

snort

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

I didn't know sounding was the name for it, but "penis," "Google it," and "eww!" told me everything I needed to know. I never worked in an ER, either, so I must just be a natural pervert :P.

Breda looks kind of chow-ish. I wonder if he'll stay cute or turn into a cur. He's certainly cute now, whatever he'll look like later.

Bitching in front of patients--or customers--is so unprofessional. And yet I hear it all the time. Never mind what I hear people yapping over the cell phone for all the world to hear.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I NEVER bought Willow being "gay now." She fell in love with TARA. As a bisexual woman in that same situation, I can tell you honestly I still find men attractive -- but I am in LOVE with Barb, end of sentence. I wouldn't fall for the first lesbian to make eyes at me if, God forbid, anything should happen to Barb. I might even go back to dating guys. "Gay now." SHEESH.

As far as the story goes, I know Tara had to die (although it made me very sad, because I loved her dearly) -- the way it was done, and how badly they used it, is what pissed me off. IF they had had the balls to kill Tara off the way she should have died, and have Willow REALLY go bad, the way she should have (and not "magic=crack," either), it could have been brilliant.

As it was? Tara got screwed.

Re: I must be...

[ookamikagakusha.livejournal.com]

Lol, I know so true! sadley that person nearly died because he tore a artery and was bleeding to death.

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

Not a Buffy fan... glad I am not... the fandom sounds more effed than the FMA fandom. :)

Breda is adorable! I wish I had my own place. He looks like he'd fall into line pretty quickly. (With a small breed leading the way!)

LOL at "sounding"... doing it regularly and cathing would break their brains.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I've always assumed it wasn't personal with Tara. After all, it's Joss -- he kills people, and hates happy relationships. The moment Tara and Willow got back together and looked like they were truly happy, it was Doom City.

[hierath.livejournal.com]

I confess I googled it too, to see if it was what I thought it was...which it was :)

Cute puppy! Hope he finds a loving home.

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

His face looks kinda like Breda's, if you turn your head and squint. He's adorable!

Your class... LOL

While I did have a few WTF moments about Willow's random bisexuality, I sort of contributed it to her mother. It makes sense that the first signs we saw of it were in her first year of college. Before that, the biggest romantic rebellion was Oz. So it worked okay for me. I liked Tara, and I didn't know about that stuff with her weight and the network. She was SO not overweight. Curvy, yes, but overweight? No.

Bloodwork sucks. It takes them forever to find my veins, and they end up using the back of my hand a lot.
