An official Masshole now
I'm an official masshole now. say what? my dear friend Jelani (from MSU who lives in worcester 40miles away) informed me that I'm a masshole. well this masshole hates tom brady....so I can't be a true one, but I don't mind being one while he is on disability!
Crazy things about Massachusetts:
- the rolling stop is done by EVERYONE! school buses, garage trucks, cop cars, grandmas! in michigan it's not too bad because really there aren't that many people, here... whew! and if you do stop, better what out because they are skipping you in line...lost your turn for coming to a stop & gaurenteed honkin behind u!
- everyone wears their emotions and thoughts on the outside. no midwest nice. I'm gonna tell ya what I think about it and about YOU and YOU should be strong enough of a person to deal with it! I actually love this! you know where and how u stand with everyone, no hidden agenda etc.
Rhode Island
...is where I work. 20 minutes away from our apt. and 40 mins from Boston. not too bad.
...is a large city with a small town mentality. everyone knows everyone, no one leaves, wants to leave, or thinks they will ever leave- why leave when everything is perfect here!
...is gorgeous! the entire state takes 1 1/2 hrs from one end to the next both ways to drive. and the ocean surrounds most of it, love it, can't wait til summer
jon is at classes three days a week all day, so we only see each other tues & fri nites after I get out of work and the weekends. I work normal people hours! about damn time! 3 years of night shift is enough! m-f 7-4pm no weekends/no holidays. my boss honestly respects me and my opinion & she is welcome to constructive feedback on herself, the unit, and the hospital. my last boss pretended she wanted feedback, but got defensive and than offensive when u tried to give it. I get to do more administrative things on this new job, which i like. the patient population is different. less crazy neuro/psych/alcohol/drug overdose patients or crazy older adults with UTIs! these pts are honestly sick and medical care is needed, no babysitting.
miss friends and family though. things can be lonely. I fill my evenings with working out, JEOPARDY!, and reading. over the last 2 weeks I finished: Janet Evanovich's #13 & #14 (highly recommend the series- literally I laugh out loud!), Newest Nicholas Sparks book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Currently two fisting Friedrich Nietzsche & a management book.
miss everyone hope all is well!
