thoughts in my head today

it was the "A" team today at work:
Angela
Andrea
Amanda
Alisa
Ashley
Anna
Honestly, what are the odds of working with people(7 of us) with their names ALL begining with the letter "A?" very ironic i say........
Other thoughts in my head today; am i ever going to settle down "with the one?" the reason this has been on my mind today is that i have been very observant of others. there are 2 girls at work who are pregant, others that have children, ones that have got married etc.... will i ever fall in love? will i be happy? will i ever have children? will my biological clock run out? will i be on the shelf gathering dust and cobwebs? Pffft. *look at computer screen thinking to my self snap out of it. stop feeling sorry for your self* maybe i should see a clarvoyant. see what the future holds......mmmmmm

my backyard was an animal farm!

today i came home from work to find my next door neighbours black floppy eared rabbit on the nature strip, as well as the fluffy white one in my backyard! then my mad cat was chasing it, while my neighbour was calling out to me to shoo it back to her place. in the mean time while i was trying to shoo it, my cat chased it under the fence so it went out the front. the neighbours 2 cats were also in my yard running around while there dog was barking hysterically! my neigbour then went out the front in her p.j's to retrieve the white rabbit. OMG! now when i think about this event that occurred i am having a chuckle.....apart from everything else in my life at present theres not much to report.SSDD.... well maybe theres one thing?! my lovely new car that i have now possesed for 1 week.i wont go on too much about it. just that i feel very special. Hahahahaahahaha.....

my mini holiday to tasmania...

well im back from my holiday to tassie. i had an absolute ball. there were no cofrontations with the other girls, everyone got along well without a hitch.
the trip started off with us flying to hobart. we hired a mini bus for the the 4 days were away.so once we landed we ventured off to our motel room. it was 2 stories(as big as a house) with 4 bedrooms,3 bathrooms, a large kitchen, living room and dining area.when settled, we went to safeway and bought nibblies and alcohol. a very important purchase to keep one well hydrated!LOL.
As night was nearing we had a bite to eat at a restaurant in salamanca square.then we vetured onto port arthur to endure a ghost tour! Now that was an eye opener. very spooky/eerie on a 5 degree night. the tour guide showed us a house the medical examiner lived in. there were noises comming from inside. our tour guide told us to be quiet as its probably the furnature moving around. thats what it did sound like. i dont know weather to believe it or not. i asked if there was heating or something in the house. she said theres a cooling system as the house is full of antiques. i tend to believe that was the sound we heard?????
the scariest part of the tour for me was going into the penetarium.it was dark and very daunting. the guide told us just a few days a go on a tour, a woman gasped and said she heard the whisper of a voice saying"help me, help me."not only that. our tour guides touch was going flat. she was in a rush to get out of there. so was i!!!!
when that was over we drove back to our motel.it was around 12-30am when we arrived back.so we chatted, drank and then played a card game called bullshit. was very funny with lots of laughs.When everyone went to bed,i went upstairs to get a drink.i heard two of the girls in there room laughing.i then barged in and went"ARGHHHH!"thery screamed and said i scared the pants off them.(ange the prankster).
After retiring to go to bed at 330 am, i surprising slept like a log.mind you alcohol can do wonders as a sedative.so up and at it the next day at 830am.our stop was the salamanca market.it had lots of nic nacks of hand made goodies etc etc..i purchased a cat ornament.how original for me.NOT.hahahaha.
post our venturing of the market stalls,we had a very long drive ahead of us to straughn.however we did a few stops on the way.our first was a place called Meadowbank lake.It was absolutely picturesque. unfuckingbelievable!( see the pics attatched).theres a bridge there called Dunrobbin bridge. i have never seen anything like it. my description of the place is its a painting!!!
we then went to russel falls. very pretty and relaxing.also quite chilly... nature does do wonders to forget about the chill factor.then it was lake sinclair.once again beautiful and relaxing to suck in the serenity....
during our travells on the bus, we sang,played games,and joked around with alot of laughs. Straughn wasnt much. we arrived at 8pm,ate at the pub,watched t.v,and then went to bed.excitement plus hey? we were all stuffed after travelling for such a long time.....
sunday i woke early.i went over to the other girls cabbin, got a glass of water and threw it over the shower curtain to get one of the girls showereing. "Ange the prankster strikes again".....
we made our way to cradle mountain.we explored lake dove. very immpressive i must say.then off to our last destination,"Launcestion."
we went out for tea at a pub then hydrated ourselves back at the room with alcohol. played some more drinking card games, and managed to play one more prank. this time i went to bed early with one of the other girls. i told her we should play a prank by getting everyones pillows. so up we get and end up with approximately 20 pillows. the girls heard us and took all the pillows so we had none! then they short sheeted the bed.in the end we did get our pillows back.....
last day monday the 16th of may. Happpy Birthday to kristy! we all put $$ for a ticket for a boat cruise along the timor river. it went for 4 hrs which included morning tea and lunch.was good and enjoyable. so that wraps up my tassie trip. i had soooo much fun and have made some good new friends. Now we are trying to figure out where to go next......................

EMERGENCY'S

CODE BLUE. A patient had a respiratiry arrest today, there were about 15 people in the room when attenpting to revive the patient. fortunately she is in the land of the living but, unfotunately her prognosis is poor.
Apart from that the day was busy/constant. Now i can relax for my mini holiday. Off to tassie tomorrow. im all packed. Cant wait. It will however be very interesting to see how well we all get along. im sure there will be stories to tell when i return.....Keep smiling all. I will be back.MWAH xoxo.

work sux!!!

i am seriously thinking about looking for another job! i had a run in with one of the other nurses who rubs me up the wrong way. i HATE her. i know thats a powerful word, but honest to god her and i dont see eye to eye. you know 2 peple can get along in this world and 2 cant. we fit into the clash side of personalities. i refuse to work with her any more. i have told that to the person who does the staff rostering.
any way this is what happened:
A patient of mine needed catheterising for a urine specimen.( i cant do this procedure, its not in my job description.)Mary(the nurse i dislike) asked me if mrs x had been catheterised. i responded with a no, as i cant do that. she said i should have asked someone else. i told her i didnt ask anyone else as everyone was run off there feet, its been a really busy shift.she then threatens me and says well the doctors wont be happy tomorrow when their doing there rounds, they will ask who was looking after this patient and why wasnt a urine specimen collected? i then said to her well i will tell them the truth. that i cannot catheterise and that no one else was available to do it due to a hectic shift. she still went on and on saying it will be me and no one else to blame as i was responsible for that patient. anyway i went and put the patient on a pan and told them to try and pass urine as the doctors need a specimen to be sent to pathology.yay! a specimen was collected and sent. i told mary and she said "well done!" what a suck.....i HATE her...
today was also a shift that made my blood boil!!! they had a fricken one hour session on scrap booking...yeah like thats got a lot to do with health care. myself and two other nurses were on the ward as well as four other students.(what a great example for students..NOT). i found this to be morally incorrect. it was a social thing that was on during work hours. it should have been planned to commence during social time....thats my whinge.ARGH!!!!!

tassie in 2 days, and 5 days off. thank FUCKING goodness.....

waiting....waiting.....waiting.....

one more flippin well week....i just handed over a cheque for x amount of thousand dollars for the car i have impatiently been going on about for weeks.ARGH....hurry up!!!!

Yesturday my cat had a little field mouse. he was trying his hardest to retrieve it from the long grass surrounding the plum tree in my bk yard. he was amused for hours. i managed to catch the rodent and free him. menwhile, the next door neighbours cat also had his bout of adventure by playing with his furry field mouse as well. it was hysyerical! both cats had there own real live toy. i laughed so much, it was really cute....

Dating dilema's

i have just recently been on three dates with the same guy and now its all over!
The first one was him getting drunk,spilling a beer bottle on the floor, lighting a cigarette when one was already in the ash tray,and being repeatative due to alcohol. I also must mention the irresponsable act of him driving home under the influence! Not only that but the level of immaturity for a grown man who rings me up at 4am. I was soooo angry that day.I thought "ggreat! dont tell me im going to be hastled with phone calls at all odd hours?"
The second date went really well. In fact it was funny as we were outside having a smoke under a tree when a bird shit on his head. We laughed when this happened and i told him to get a lotto ticket. He did but i dont know the outcome.He came over to my house that night for drinks and chatting. My bloody cat wouldnt leave him alone!!! he kept jumping up on his knees,purring and being very smoochy.While all this was happening we were being intimate"kissing."
The 3rd date was me going over to his house for pizza. He actually said before my arrival"i look forward to it." this made me think that hes interested.
We chatted,ate,drank and laughed.we even said to each other that we should take it slow and not rush. i told him i dont want to get hurt.he even told me he likes women?im still trying to figure that one out...i must admitt now that i have always had an instinct to be weary of this guy. some thing was telling me that hes a player. a friend told me he souns like hes lolly shopping. meaning that hes picking out the best ones.i believe she is right.
Last night i got an sms off him. this is what it said:

"hi ive been thinking what you said regards to not being hurt,so decided for that reason we shouldnt catch up no more because i cant see a future for us,im sorry,so i wish you the very best for the future,please dont contact me no more.by paul."
i had a few tears.i did stupidly get my hopes up! so i replied "i agree. good luck to you for the future. bye."
i have come to realise that he is obviously gutless. he had to send an sms instead of speaking to me directly.i learnt that lesson a longtime ago.you dont send things in writting.they get shown!!!
i have been a little down today but on a positive note hes done me a favour! i have learnt to not tell someone too much,to go really slow and to NOT get your hopes up. so all i have to say is that life goes on and that theres plenty of fish in the sea......
