Got to get this to NOT do list off my mind!

Tomorrow is a very busy, very scary day. Tomorrow is when I *gulp* start anesthetizing people. It shouldnt be that hard but instead of putting together a to do list, I figured a to NOT do list might serve me better...

• Don't paralized someones face ( but if I do take pictures of them making various faces while the paralized side stays still)
• Don't tear an artery and cause someones face to swell and bruise..for 2 weeks ( but once again if I do take pictures of a pretend epic fight scene since they will look like the crap got beat out of one side of the face)
• Dont cause trismus ( pain in the muscle from too many injections in one place)
• Dont inject into an artery causing immediate overdose and anesthetic toxicity... especially not if it leads to cardiac arrest, that'd be emberassing and I think would probably lead to me failing
• Dont stick myself with the needle while trying to re-cap ( who knows what kind of diseases these people are carrying..Hep C! the Herp! COMMON COLD!!!)
• Don't trip while carrying needle to contaminated sharps container, because that would most likely lead to me stabbing myself with a 25 gauge needle ( probably in the arm or chest and I'd hate to break a contaminated needle in my and have some dramatic problem like part of it is being carried in my blood and on its way to my heart...no time for that people this thing ends saturday)

And really I guess my MAIN goals are not to have my face paralized ( although I think I could pull this face off very well...)

 or end up looking like I got beat up...because the sweatheart ball is coming up quick and I'd like for all the boys to swoon

Things, stuff and a few things in between

As I was walking in to the Doctors office tuesday I saw this sign and it made me laugh, and i kind of wanted to set up some type of stealth camera that would record the reactions of all of the paranoid people in this world. And then maybe I would add a small handwritten one that would say "just because you're not paranoid doesnt mean they aren't after you" and see if that got any good reactions...but since I dont have that kind of stuff just laying around I couldnt :-/


Today I sat in classroom for many many way to many hours learning about Neurophysiology, Pharmacology, and different kinds of vasoconstrictors and lightly touching on things like..how to NOT paralize someones face or anesthetize them for 6-8 months ( glad we skipped the unimportant stuff no one cares about, and seriously Bells Palsy type facial paralysis is very IN this year I'm told). I made some fun friends which was nice, but I guess every class- even the ones of about 15, have really annoying people in them. You know those people, the ones that say stuff like "if I dont get my OWN laser I dont want to work for you" ( this made me laugh because she said that she uses it on every patient, and I recently went to a Dental Conference where the speaker, a very well known respected periodontist that has done tons of research in these things said that lasers are good for SRP's  and 4910's but if you are using them on 0110 you should just get a laser pointer from dollar general.)...I wanted to tell her that she didnt know it all and that if most of her patients were 4910's there is something wrong with her..but instead I bit my tongue and quietly made fun of her double chin, lack of neck, and duck butt while she made several more annoying " I'm a hygienist so I'm entitled comments". FORTUNATELY I made some down to earth friends and during lunch I saw a shirt that made me laugh

Thats right friends, go bran or go home...Oh man some peoples kids make me laugh...and others I can only handle in small doses when I'm not tired, dont have a headache, and am full...and even then its debateable....

  Anyways I should probably go so that I can snuggle up with my text book and read all about Pheochromocytomas, inadvertently puncturing a blood vessel, trismus, and maybe end with a happy story about treating a local anesthesia overdose

MID-DAY CONFESSIONS OF A TIRED GIRL : Things I say in my head and only sometimes out loud

• I'm a burrito, but not a smothered burrito- smothered burritos cause heartburn
• If you're trying to cut me out of the herd I'm not your cow
• I feel like that was a harsh thing you said to me and I kind of never want to talk to you again
• I already put enough pressure on myself about that, I'd appreciate it if you didnt add to it
• Thank you for your unsolicited advice on a situation you know nothing about, I appreciate it...and when I say "thank you" I mean I feel like you're wasting my time and annoying me, and when I say "I appreciate it"....I laced that with a deadly dose of sarcasm 
• If you didnt hear/werent listening just say "what" instead...
• If we sent all the stupid people to stupid island...
• Unless you would like my honest opinion please say "that was a rhetorical question" and end the conversation
• If you want to live Tiggers life, stop acting like Eeyore- or at least take a page out of Rabbit and Piglets book, no one has to invite them to the party they just come.
• Being mean to the person at the fast food place wont make your food come out any quicker, your sandwhich any cheaper, or your life any less fulfilled. The best way to keep your blood pressure down is to realize that your server is 19 and probably putting herself through college. Times are tough people, and I've never regretted being nice to a complete stranger
• No one is perfect, and I'm no exception... can we just be excited about progress and stop having unrealistic expectations or choosing verbage that is more than what we mean? 
• Yes I realize that you dont approve of me giving money to the hobo's, but it will bug me for a week if I dont

Ok I think confession time is over, and I feel much better... thanks!

I never thought I'd fall in love with the city

Oh man all those times I drove in downtown Fort Worth thinking I could never live in those condos and how I would hate to live in the heart of the city... I have been working in downtown Denver for almost 2 weeks and I am in love! I'm not sure what it is, but there is something about the atmosphere there that is so entrancing. I park in the pepsi center parking lot and walk basically a block and I'm at work. It isnt very far to be sure, but somehow even though I loathe the bustling over crowded city scene- I look forward to that short little walk in the city. In fact when I get to work early I sometimes just stand on the bridge and look at the skyline as the sun rises and I cannot help but just gawk at it with a small longing and avidity...one day I'd like to live in or near downtown Denver I've decided. 

 

 

 

Good Morning to you too, Denver!

 

 

  

 

Even though this bridge kind of creeps me out sometimes I really like it. Oddly enough walking over it to get to work some how adds to my love of downtown! Maybe because it's like something from a movie to me....

  

Even though the blue lights kind of give off an eerie glow in my opinion, its kind of makes this bridge a little more fun to cross at night and also makes it a little more romantic and mysterious

seriously, in love

Fun little lamp posts
