Mood: sadTopic: another night in the ICUI had to work with Danielle again last night. I was so hoping that she would call in as she has never really worked all three of her nights in a row since we started in April. Well, I wasn't so lucky. A couple of nights back she had confronted me about working on the computers. She said that I always insisted on printing the daily packs and doing the ward clerk job (we don't have a ward clerk right now as our census on nights is still too low to call for one so we all take turns doing the ward clerk duties). Linda was the charge nurse so I knew I could get some back up. I told Danielle that she could do the packets, and ward cleck duties tonight. I think she thinks it is an easy job as you are either assigned to help the other nurses with their patients or are assigned an easy group of patients to allow you to have time to do the ward clerk duties. She wasn't assigned any patients of her own and yet she still sank. She started making snide comments such as, "well if Anna let me do the desk more often, I would be better at it", and later in the evening, "Anna do you have a problem with me, Anna I can't work with this tension". I would only say, "I am just here to do my job", "I don't feel any tension". I am not going to get sucked in to her game. Well, it must have worked as she called Shannon's cell phone so many times that when Shannon finally answered it, she thought something horrible was going on. I guess she pleaded with Shannon to come in and take her place. She told Shannon that she hadn't slept any in the past two days (funny she had no qualms telling me that it wasn't her problem when I asked her if I could have the one on one the night before because I was in the middle of 8 nights in a row). So, Shannon came in and it was much better. Thank goodness.

I work in a kindergarden so I made my characters age reflect that factMood: don't askTopic: another night in the ICUlast night was so very bad that I didn't talk to anyone and almost walked out! I could hear the other nurses complaining that I was "grumpy" and "moody"

one big bitchMood: don't askI am having yet another bad night at work. Shannon called in again tonight leaving me to work with Danielle, hence I have no support and no one to talk to. I can't get on the computer after my "coaching" last night. There was a one on one patient and Danielle insisted on having it. That meant I got 2 new admits. Well half an hour into the shift they pulled her to Tele. She had the nerve to try to get me to go instead of her AFTER I had admitted my patients and done all of the orders, etc. I told her it was okay, she could go. Well not even 2 hours later, she comes back trying to get me to go, even tried to tell me it was a one on one patient that she had. I had to fight the urge to smile because I knew just by her coming back and asking me to switch, and the fact that she came back so very soon, made me positive that her patient must be awful. GOOD! I don't understand why they are catering to people that call in and don't do their jobs even when they are here, unless their job is to socialize with the rest of the staff. In my "coaching" last night, I was advised to get to know the other nurses, to try to make friends, etc, ask about their families! Excuse me but I thought this was a job not a social club. I have NOTHING in common with most of the women I work with. Half of them are older and have grandkids! Maybe I should take more acting classes so I can fake a interest in people that I don't even care to work with much less listen to stories about their families. I am trying to remember why I turned down the job on the fire rescue department. I truly think working with men would be better than working with a bunch of catty women. Maybe this is something I should strongly consider for my future. It could be another goal for my weightloss (so I can pass the physical exam). I am always being told that it isn't that I don't DO MY JOB, I was even told that last night during my "coaching", but I'm not social enough, don't try to make friends with my coworkers, etc, etc. It isn't even that I am RUDE, OR BITCHY! It's that I am ALOOF!, a PRIVATE person, and someone that thinks they are there to work and take care of the patients rather than socialize. One good thing, I am back to my pretrip weight. I am so glad that I have this diet working for me because it really gives me something to feel sucessful about.

Mood: irritatedTopic: another night in the ICUShannon called in so this left me without anyone to talk to and working with Dannielle. Lovely. Not even ten minutes into my shift Danielle corners me and tells me that 2 different people have told her that I have been saying that she has been looking for jobs on the computer. That she had to defend herself in a meeting. I told her the truth, I said, "look people have been asking me I thought we could work the schedual out with you and I told them that I thought you had given up as you were looking for jobs on the computer". So she spends the rest of the night sucking up to Tristian who was charge. So later in the evening, Tristian takes me to the lounge to have a "coaching" meeting with me and proceeds to tell me that I need to manage MY internet useage. That As a frient and as a charge nurse, she is advising me to be more social and approach the other nurses and get to know them. Excuse me? I am there to work. So I guess sitting around and socializing is valued more than actually working. So it gets even better, I come out of my meeting and Danielle says, "So did Tristian talk to you about being on the computer?" smirk, smirk. So I guess Danielle must have kissed the right ass after all, I hope she has a foul taste in her mouth and her lips are sore. I am sorry but I don't kiss ANYONES ass, I was under the believe that if you did your job, showed up on time and tried to be a team play (a team player helps when a coworker is swamped or needs assistance it doesn't imply that you are being a team player when you are sitting around gossiping), that there was no need to kiss ass. Later in the night Tristian and Danielle went over the schedual yet again. Excuse me, why are they going over and over the schedual with someone who calls in all of the time. Why are they making other people switch days to please Danielle? These other people haven't been the ones calling in. It amazes me that they are working so hard to keep Danielle when every agency nurse, aide, tech, ward clerk, etc that I have run across has told me how they have applied and applied for a position at our hospital! It's not like they NEED her. Again, maybe she kissed the right ass. Maybe I should give her a present of some chapstick.

Mood: sadTopic: my mother in lawWill left for school and work while I was still asleep Monday morning. I got up and headed to Jo Anna's to take her shopping, an hours drive each way plus the time at the store. Then I went to Costco to get fruit and Will some new shorts as his are getting way too loose. My mother gave me $50 dollars for our Anniversary. This is in strict contrast to Will's mother who came by as we were LEAVING for our Anniversary trip to bum $150.00 from Will while I was in the bathroom. I wouldn't have known but I walked out as he was giving her the money. Okay, back to Monday, I went purse shopping after Costco as my favorite wallet broke on our trip. I also purchased season 1 of, "fat actress" on DVD. I pull up to our house and guess who is there, um hum it is time to host the free mother in law bed and breakfast with free laundry service. Will comes up to me and starts saying how he didn't know she was coming etc, etc, how he has tons of home work to do, etc. She has already started doing her laundry. She starts hinting that there is no food for her to eat at our house. Starts hinting about pizza so guess what, we end up cheating 3 days instead of 2 because we end up ordering pizza, and I had to pay for it. Will kept saying how he didn't think she was coming and acting upset. Maybe NOW that it is affecting him, maybe he will say something but I doubt it. She is saying that she is planning on moving out this month and needs all of Will's weekends to help her. He looked so very thrilled each time she mentioned this. She also took a walking tour of our neighborhood and found 2 trailer parks near by with trailer for sale. God help me! She is thinking about trying to contact the owners. In the mean time she is going to move in to the basement apartment of one of her clients houses while they are away for the summer, with her 3-4 cats one of which is uncontrolablely incontenent. The house is also on the market meaning it could be sold at anytime. My theory is that this woman is going to come back from her vacation and throw Will's mother out on her ass when she see's what a wreck she and her cats have made of her house, that is if it doesn't sell before then causing her to be out even sooner. Sooty's mother is preg., just like I said she would be. The kitten that she kept from her last litter has been gone for almost a week, eaten by some wild animal no doubt. I am really getting tired of all of this. I was trying to sleep Tuesday morning so I could work tonight and I wake up to CSpan on our livingroom TV. She had it up pretty loud knowing I was trying to sleep. She finally left at 9 am , will leaves at 7am so she hung out watching tv and doing god knows what till 9 am. I guess if she moves into town, her excuse for having to stay the night is gone but I bet it won't help prevent her from trying to stay anyway. I just don't know what to do anymore.

our anniversary tripMood: amorousHey all, I just wanted to share with you that Anna and I had a great time this weekend in Glenwood Springs, and we stayed at the B&B with the link below. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a weekend to get away from it all. And yes, there is photographic proof that Anna got in a raft and went through the rapids with me, in the front of the boat no less!. I volunteered to be a 'lead paddler', and then nonoe of the others in the (all-female) group wanted to volunteer, so Anna jumped right in and we both had a great time. She took lots of pics; as soon as she has time, I'll bet she'll e-mail them out. We were only in town for like 32 hours total, but it's a small town and we packed a lot of fun into a short time. This was important as she has been working 5-6 12-hour shifts a week, and I have been enjoying taking summer classes. Plus, I just started my new job last week, and it seems to be going great. I'm learning a lot more about Unix systems than I thought I'd ever need to, but it's lots of fun, actually. It's a geek thing. I know we still have wedding DVDs to mail out to people on my side of the family; if you're getting this e-mail and want a DVD, e-mail me and tell me. I've been so busy since about January of 2003 (when I 'parted ways' with Peak National Bank), I really haven't had too many days off! Anyone got any good stories about their summer yet? Let me know... Will Here's a couple more links about stuff we did/saw in Glenwood... http://www.hotspringspool.com/ http://www.yampahspa.com/ (we highly recommend the 'mud body wrap' treatment! ) http://www.glenwoodcaverns.com/ http://www.coloradowhitewaterrafting.com/ ----- Original Message ----- Anna and Will, just to let you know that I have confirmed the reservations for your rafting tomorrow, Sunday June 5, 9:00 AM. You will need to be at the rafting companies premises at 8:30 am to get your gear and the instructions. The tickets are here at our B&B. Kind regards, safe travel and see you late today Peter Peter and Carol Tijm Lavender and Thyme Bed & Breakfast 802 Palmer Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 ph: 970-945-8289 fax: 970-947-0379 e-mail: innkeeper@lavenderthyme.com www.lavenderthyme.com

our anniversary tripMood: happyWe had a wonderful trip to Glennwood Springs, CO. We left Saturday morning after I got off work. We bought 4 new tires for my car, came home to load up and to unload the groceries that we bought while waiting for the tires to be put on and while I was in the bathroom, Will's mother stopped by to borrow $150 dollars from him. I walked out to see him giving her money. I guess she wanted to make sure that she got some of his paycheck before we left and spent it all. Anyway back to our lovely trip, I tried to sleep on the drive up to Glennwood but Will kept waking me up to see the scenery. It was amazing and he kept asking me if I could see us living in the various towns that we passed. We arrived to the Lavendar and Thyme bed and breakfast at around 5pm. We stayed in the rose room. It was lovely and had a private shower and bathroom. The inn keeper had filled our room with rose petals and chocolates (good thing we had already decided to eat off the plan). We left the inn and went to eat at a mexican resturant right by the hot springs. After we had a HUGE meal complete with deep fried ice cream, we went to the hot springs which consisted of a large pool with an area for doing laps, diving, and water slides (which were closed unfortunately) and a smaller (hotter) therapy pool. We spent the rest of the evening there and walked back to the inn just before it started to rain. The next morning we had an early breakfast at the inn (elk sausage, mexican style eggs, bluberry muffins, homemade green chile bread, spicy potatoes, bacon, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a little anniversary cake). We left to go to the river to go rafting. We ended up being issued wet suits and boy was I thankful for that after we got on the river as the water was VERY cold. Will wanted to be in the front of the raft so I ended up in the front also. It was very fun and something I would never have done if I hadn't had Will with me. After that we were invited to go to a local park and have some cheesecake with some of the people from our raft. Then we took the tram up to do the cave tours. The caves weren't that exciting but then I am not too interested in caving. After that we went to the local vapor caves which were great. We had a mud wrap and then spent 45 minutes in a private pool (it was really hot). We were starving after only having had breakfast and cheesecake all day so we went to an indian resurant and then out for ice cream. We headed home late that evening. It was a wondreful trip! align="left"> align="left">

Mood: a-okI was with a man (who was fat himself) who policed every bite of food that I put in my mouth for 7 years. I worked two jobs the whole time we were together to his sometimes one job. He kept my self esteem so low that I felt fat and ugly and yet I kept auditioning to be his wife. Now I know he was maniputating me into feeling so worthless that I wouldn't belive that any other man would want me, hense I would stay with him and he would be supported and have his meals prepaired, sex, and a clean house. When I left him, I did this after he tried to throw my 18 year old declawed (in all four paws) childhood pet cat into a wall. Even after that it took the help of some of my coworkers to get me away from him. I had to leave my first car (which we never had the money to buy a radiator for otherwise it ran great but it wouldn't have made the trip back home), a whole house full of furniture that I bought, my computer, most of my clothes, etc but I knew if I didn't leave then, I never would. After I left him, I ate all of the foods that I wasn't allowed to have for those 7 years and gained up to 260 pounds (from 140) but even at that weight I still felt more attractive than I did when I was thin and with him. I am still uncomfortable getting male attention and I think the weight made me feel more comfortable, like a shield from male advances. I had been hurt so bad before that I never wanted to have that happen again. I am happly married now and while I still feel uncomfortable when men flirt with me, I know that isn't a reason to stay fat. My husband is great and very supportive about my weightloss (I think he would like it if I was thinner also but he won't pressure me into loosing weight if I don't want too). The funny thing is after leaving my ex and not speaking to him for 5 years, someone told him that I was getting married and he called me 6 weeks before my wedding and tried to get me to come back. He lied to me and told me that he was going to the gym six days a week. Then he told me about his website where a recent photo is posted and believe me if he is going to the gym 6 days a week, is lean and buff like he said he is, the photo sure isn't doing him justice. He looks just like he always did. In fact, he sounded just like he always did, emotionally stunted and self absorbed. He kept telling me that I didn't sound like me, which made me know that I have changed! I am not the meek girl that catered to his every whim, whose self esteem was so low that she would accept any kind of treatment just to get the slightest bit of affection. That did make me feel better. It also felt really good to tell him in no uncertain terms would I ever go back to him that he had been killing me emotionally. I know if he had called at other times in that 5 years since I left him, I might have been on the first plane back to him, but he didn't and I thank god for that. I am finally happy with who I am, fat or thin and I am loosing this weight so I feel healthier and happier. I am not doing it for my husband, I am doing it for me. Oh I almost forgot the best part! He also mentioned that the only girlfriend that he had had since me, wasn't like me so it didn't work out. I told him that I would have thought that was a good thing as he always told me how awful being with me was when we were together. He said, "well she wasn't like you, you know in the bedroom." I almost fell out of my chair. I told him, "yah, and to think my mother always said I was wasting my time in those drama classes."! Yes that desperate, lonely girl that he knew in me is GONE! I think I will send Rick (the ex) a photo when I reach goal. Is that so very wrong?
