What are you doing today...revisited! (2)

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

I got to play 'office girl' today - barely left the office.

The case coordinator wanted to scrub today, so I just did her job - answered pagers, received theatre lists, discussed operations with patients who rang up, etc etc. Very cruisy for me!

Spent most of the day writing out the updated roles of the Coordination, Scrub and Scout nurse. Glad that's done.

Then did a bit of my selection criteria, and wrote in detail how I 'fulfilled' all of my assessment tools for an RN...

and your skipping life group why?

Today wasn't all that fun for me - we were preparing 2 rooms in the house (my bedroom and one of our other rooms that had heaps of junk and shelf units in it) for tiling tomorrow, which meant taking all the stuff out of my room (bookcase, shelves, desk and bed, plus items on them) and the junk room (too much paraphernalia to list). It was a headache trying to get one particular standalone wardrobe out of the room because it wouldn't fit through the doorway properly, so we had to shift it through the window. Some other stuff was a bit tough to squeeze through the doorway, but every single item in both rooms is scattered in the lounge room and TV room downstairs, and I get to sleep in the lounge room for the next 3 days (have been for the past 2 because Lauren stayed the night on Sat and we offered her my bed because we had a family friend staying over as well and she was on the sofa bed). So it's chaos in my house, the tiling gets done tomorrow and Wednesday, and I won't be back in my bedroom until Thursday...

Oh Kris, my sympathies - I do know exactly what you're going through.......My house has been undergoing spasmodic renovations for 30 years - some simple and some extensive.

 

[KristianJ]

Hehehe...MOTH, you make it sound as if I shouldn't be sighing... It's just that the junk from our spare room requires sorting out to separate the real junk from the proverbial junk, and that will take forever...

No, no, it's true, Kris, I kid you not! Stuff at our place gets piled in one room while other rooms are undergoing renovations.....Then someone says they are coming to visit, then everything from the temporary 'storage room' has to fit into the other rooms, whilst undergoing paint jobs etc; all this to fit the visitors in......aaaah! It sounds confusing and it is! You sound like you're living in the early stages of what could become chronic! and long term! My advice? Nip it in the bud NOW!!!!!

 

[marduke]

about to head off to work... yep its 5.20am and its a tuesday....... they made us clean up the workshop today instead of thursday........ stupid foremans meeting.

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Today I am the Coordination Nurse outside (grr hate the name, but must placate the precious people amongst me at work!), and it's our biggest day of the month (with the nastiest surgeon)... eurgh...

THEN - I get to go to Gold Class with B, Elm0, S_E and B's work to see Star Wars!!!!

PARTY!!!! Can't wait!

this morning i had a 'group interview" with coles myer i was very surprised they have changed the formate somewhat. i was expecting to fill out soem forms do some silly test then have a 2 min one on one interview but....... i went in filled out some forms then as a group we did a murder mystery where we as a group had to work out who the main suspect was out of a list of 6. then that was it.... we would have got it right if someone had listened to a clue i had pointed out. oh well... anyway this arvo i am working and we are making yummy puff pastry twisty things. then tonight starwars

 

[heavenliejediofthebeach]

[elm0]

Well, I've just got home from my psychologist appointment, now I'm off to organise some steak sandwiches for dinner, so I can eat before going out, and someone_else can eat in the car. She'll be home from work in time to pick me up and go out again. Off to see Star Wars in Gold Class, nice comfy chairs, YAY!! Much better than going to soccer training and running around in the cold night air.

I know how you feel danie... one more assessment to go for me. cant wait! hehehe

Today I got up and left home fairly early (ie i left at 7am...) and yes rob, thats pretty late compared to you i know...

discovered that the closed reserve at uni didnt open until 9am, so i waited around a bit then borowed the subjects textbook for 2 hrs, which we'd pretty much been told we didnt need to buy - but had alot of stuff i kinda needed for the test.

got some marks back which i was quite happy with, did the test and came home.

tonight i've got to do some more uni work but, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel... cause its all due on thursday! then i'm home free. heehee

[KristianJ]

that you do, or that you pay others to do

I can either design the renovations and pay others to competently carry out my designs, or do it myself, which could be risky!

jacqS Wow! I'm breathless, Perhaps you should post this on my thread about mums being forced out into the 'paid' workforce...... and just maybe (although I doubt it) some of the powers that be will recognise the value and contribution of our unpaid workforce (sahm&d's) into community life. I know it's a dream, but one can hope, hey!

 

[someone_else]

just been to see star wars in gold class with elm0 sascha b and another friend lets call him A, was soooooo awsome how often do you get an icecream sunday deliverd to you in the movies. was a great movie so hope they bring out a movie marathon like they did for lord of the rings but how they will fit 6 movies into one night beats me.

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

easy - start it at 6pm and let it go til 9am the next day...

I really liked it. Being a burns nurse, I was hysterically laughing my head off at one bit where the rest of the theatre were all like WOW, but other than that - good 2 and a bit hours of escapeism...

Tomorrow I am scouting in urology and then scrubbing for a burns list (of skin cancers). Going to mum's after work to have dinner and watch the Origin...
