I'm still here, I know I announcd my presence last time then disappeared again thanks to work and other stuff.
I work now as a medical transcriptionist, someone who listens and takes down doctors' ramblings. I find it fascinating listening to these doctors especially if it's a psychiatric evaluation.  Sure I end up falling asleep while typing ( ( Read more... )

I know, I hardly log in LJ anymore thanks to real life stuff as well as getting distracted by the Sims 2 and 3 (Island Paradise rocks but I need to get better hardware if I don’t want the game to freeze on me).

And then have them fall down on you. These past few weeks had been hectic. Now my aunt died from complications of Parkinson’s and I had to leave after my shift at work tomorrow to be able to make it in time for the funeral.

I wonder if I’ll be able to concentrate later because I feel like an airhead earlier. I mean I’ve been working but it’s like ( Read more... )
