I finished another 12 day stretch and this one was particularly difficult for me. I think it was because the first week I was stressed about my grand rounds and then I worked the weekend and then I got all my mistakes since July handed to me in a nice yellow envelope and all the while I'm trying to be a good clinical pharmacist and follow all of my patients' various problems and know everything about them all the time. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love what I'm doing, but by Friday I was so glad to get the hell out of there I could have screamed. Fortunately we had an event to attend at my university where students can come and talk with us about our residency program and ask questions etc... so we left around 11am and then I got to go home straight afterward. B came home on Thursday and then left today to head home for his next rotation. I know he'll be much happier there than he was in Linton but I'm a little sad that he won't be here for long weekends anymore.
I went to dinner with my sister and her friend tonight and we had, quite possibly, the dingy-est waitress to ever grace the presence of the Olive Garden. She mumbled, she got my drink order confused at first and then even after I corrected her and she brought me the right thing (a mango martini) she insisted on calling it a margarita. In addition she was generally just annoying as she kept coming and asking us how we were doing... So, after the actual dinner was over she asks if we want any boxes and we say we just need one. My sister was not going to take her food home and her friend and I both got seafood alfredo and I was giving mine to the friend to take home. So then we order dessert and she brings it out and asks again if we need boxes, and I say again, just one. She then starts to walk away but comes back and says, "so are you just going to combine those two then?" pointing to our two dinners. I pause for a moment and then say, "yes, yes she is taking it all". Then she leaves. I then turn to my sister and she starts laughing... I mean, why else would I only want one box? Am I going to magic it into two? I mean, the thing is, she really wasn't that bad but she was so ditzy! And then of course our bills were completely wrong... so wrong we couldn't even trade them to fix things... and then she couldn't fix them... or get them to print... or figure out how to talk to us without apologizing so much that I wanted to shake her and tell her to get over it. I wasn't mad about anything... I was having an enjoyable dinner with my sister and her friend... yes the girl was annoying but she was mostly annoying because she seemed to know she was annoying and felt the need to apologize for it... that's like a dog apologizing for slobbering or a cat apologizing for getting underfoot... they might do it but then they will just go right back to slobbering or getting underfoot... as such, this girl kept being ditzy and apologetic. Still, it was a nice dinner and we had a lot of laughs.
Now I'm just chilling at home and watching The Big Bang Theory reruns... I love this show. It is hilarious. Even better show though - I watched the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy today and I am both excited and upset about how this season may go... I have high hopes but I'm nervous that I'll be disappointed. I think Meredith and Derek are going to stay together but they have certainly hit a rough patch and I just really love them when they are happy. I heard that the actors want this to be the last season and as I was watching reruns over the past couple months I realized how much they have aged since the early episodes. It is really interesting. I want to get all the seasons on dvd at some point.
Ok, now I'm rambling... I wanted to blog a bit about my actual resident life but honestly I don't really want to talk about it at this point. I really just want to think about -- nothing. Until tomorrow at least. Then I might start to think about smart things again.
goodnight happy people.
