Today was a pretty decent and slow day. Of course, it's Friday night, so that means that I have to get through being 'on-call' tonight before I can say that it was totally a good day...but I have high hopes for the night.
I was thinking about Live Journal earlier today...it's kinda like sending an email to yourself that you might let other people read. I was thinking about this because while we were here hanging out, I was going thru my Hotmail acccount and cleaning out folders and old emails and what not. I've saved a lot of emails from people, and I had a gazillion folders for each and every specific person that I email on a regular basis. Not to mention the ever present 'Misc.' file folder...which had too many damn emails in it. Now, not so much anymore...
We watched 'A Knight's Tale' while we were hanging out here. When I have one of my partners over here and we're just hanging out, I feel like it's better to have a movie on than to just be watching TV. I really don't know what this person or that person likes to watch...but I know that you can almost never go wrong with a movie...so it's a safe choice. Not to mention, I hate it when people channel surf, and watching a movie kinda eliminates that. Of course, Larry being 'Larry', I had to explain some of the dialogue of the movie. And the sad part is, it's really not even a very historically correct movie and the dialogue is more modern than not. Still, there were a few lines that I knew he wouldn't have understood. There's a scene in the movie where Chaucer see's Joselynne entering William's tent at th e festival grounds. He mutters to himself, "Gwenivere visits Lancelot. Bed him well, m'lady. Bed him well." Personally, I would think that was a pretty self-evident line, but I could see that he wasn't really getting it. I told him that he basically said, 'Scew him hard'. Heh.
Yesterday was the day from hell, and today was so mild. Lynne and I were talking about busy v. not busy, and we both agreed that we were happier to be a little busy and have runs to do rather than to have to hang out in a 'bus' all day long with nothing to do. I pointed out that not every one was in the position that I'm in. That position being that I live in town about half a mile away from the hospital and I have a very understanding boss. She knows that I come here in our downtime and hang here when there's nothing to do. So far, she really hasn't minded. Of course, something like that could change at any moment. Someone else might realize that I'm coming here in my down time and get upset. If that ever happens, then that means that I'm not going to be able to do it anymore...but for now, I'm fine.
So I'm on-call and everything tonight. I think I'm going to get into the shower and settle in for the night...the weekend is going to be a little on the hectic side, and tonight and tomorrow morning before I head on out is going to be the only time that I'm going to have all alone to myself.
