Yes, I still exist. Clinic, Work, and Class time = 68 hrs. per week plus studying. on top of that. 75 hrs. per week this summer between clinic and work. 0 days off between labor day and mid-august. 0 days off between now and mid-december (literally). Nazi's don't even cover this program. Unbelievable and often unethical. However, 100% of graduates pass the registry exam. Last years class had an average score of 90. you graduate a competant radiographer cuz we do twice what is required by the arrt to take the registry exam. comping exams have to be more perfect than the radiologist needs. hell they have to be more perfect than the textbook in some cases. they play mindgames with you and if they know that they're getting to you...they poke all the harder.
Dry shit I know. sorry. i will be back here someday, perhaps sooner than i would like as they are threatening to kick me out if i don't comp a barium enema by tuesday. haven't seen any to comp so if someone just really needs an enema, and it just wouldn't be right without barium,please drop by my clinic site...please. 3 of us need one...
serious unbelievable bullshit has passed on all fronts this past year. but hell, i've grown quite the thick skin. it's boiling actually. but hell...and bollocks to boot. how does one spell bollocks?
still had time (even though i have/had no time) to see someone who happened to get out of the federal pen last march and have mindblowingly good sex all night long on more than a few occasions. went to work at 5 a.m. once while still drunk. i now know what meth smells like (no i have not done it nor will i). not seeing the guy at the moment and miss him (though i know its for the best---the meth and all). sweet, intelligent, considerate, dangerous, bad-tempered man who kissed like deep water...made my knees weak. you know how delicious that is? he makes the best wine that i have ever had. he put air conditioning into my car for free. he also studied cosmetology and hair. he is a renaissance redneck. but i probably won't be seeing him again...at least for anything lovely.
lost weight this summer cuz brother-in-law demanded money and had to live on breakfast bars that i had bought previosly for three weeks. feel like i can take just about anything thrown at me unless i happen to be feeling like i just can't take anymore. it jumps back and forth. not liking most of my life these days....can't wait till the light reaches the end of that tunnel. i see it though you know? that glorious end when i'll wake up in the middle of the night going "fuck!!! what must be done? what's due?" and then realize that I can sink back cuz the next day I can watch tv, or take a hike, or see a movie....or catch up w/ ya'll who i miss ever so much. i wonder about you...just wanted to let you know...
not dead
