Dream Journal: Work

You know you've been working too much or too hard or enjoy work way too much when you start dreaming about your job. I swear that last night I was taking a history from a patient who was wheezing in the mergency room. This 5 year old little girl was breathing at 60 breaths per minute (try that, it's not easy to do) with nostrils flaring and retractions. Her oxygen saturation was 90% on room air. I remember ordering breathing treatments, a chest x ray, and oral steroids. I remember presenting to the emergency room physician. Then a 10 year old boy walked into the emergency room with a 2 inch laceration on his cheek. Luckily I woke up before I start in on that case. I am a kind of slow sower so it might have been excrutiatingly painful to watch myself stich. So what do you think? Crazy? Obsessed?

Motion of the Ocean

WARNING: PG-13 rated

I was filling up the bathtub to soak in it. With nice hot water. As I sat in the tub I could feel the water moving back and forth (it probably came from me splashing it around). Then all of a sudden I started to feel a bit of motion sickness. You know that you're prone to motion sickness when you get seasick in your bathroom. That is all.

Oh, and thank you for Lori for posting a comment. I got to read a little bit of her blog, Faith and Mika's Mommy and found it very interesting and entertaining. I go back to work in the Emergency Room on Wednesday. Wish me luck folks. And if anyone else is reading please leave behind a comment.

A Tale of Walmart

So I went to hang out with Valerie and Jennifer last night in a belated celebration of Valerie's birthday. I, of course, not buying a gift yet, dragged her to Sam Goody's and made her select an anime DVD under my nose (after dining delightfully at Ruby Tuesdays). Oh, of note, we ordered a Super Sampler, but it never came...So I can't tell you what that's like. The Ribeye steak was good though. And I ate a baked potato...for the first time.

After dropping Valerie off, Jennifer and I (you can read her rendition on her posts) started talking about random things. At first we thought we should place an add in the local newspaper for our friend Valerie (I'm reminded of the Golden Girls episode when Rose accidentally puts Dorothy's work add: "Will do anything for 8 dollars" under the Personals and Dorothy reads a Personals add that states something to the effect of History Professor seeks woman for tour of european cathedrals. Must be into Wesson oil and bear a resemblance to Florence Henderson). We thought something along the lines of Asian female looking for an Orlando Bloom lookalike, Japanese speaking a plus. Must be into anime. I'm sure the English Major will spiff it up.

One of the stories that Jennifer told Valerie was our sojourn to Walmart on 3.10.05 at night. I needed proof that Walmart was now open 24 hours on Ke'eamoku street. While perusing through the merchandise we chanced upon some fuzzy green pillows. With my handy dandy camera I proceeded to set up a shot with the automated timer. She had the pillow on her head when an engaging middle aged employee asked her if she would like some help. Calmly she turned to the employee and said no thank you. I started with gales of laughter. Anyways, here is the promised picture.



And another thing. Jennifer has noticed traffic from my site going over to her site. She thinks that because I update so infrequently people go to her site to see if she's had contact with me. Sometimes I recognize frequent IP addresses. So if you would be so kind to leave a comment or two, it would be appreciated. Then I'd know that someone else besides Jennifer is really reading this thing.
