positively
I'm going to try something I hardly do--- being positive in LJ. Most of the time I only make time to write when things are irritating me. So today I am going to list some good things.
1) I had clinicals today with the preceptor who caused me so much trouble last week. She was alright--- not as nasty as I had expected, but not thoroughly pleasant, either. I did get to watch her attitude with patients which I often view as "borderline" rude, reinforcing to me that I was NOT wrong and am NOT nuts. That's good.
2) The weather is really nice. And even the city trees look pretty.
3) I passed this HUGE house on Parkside that I am interested in, and the sign said "price reduced!" Hopefully it will keep going down.
4) I got to talk to my sister Allyson today, which was nice.
Ok, I'm gonna go to bed. I am anticipating working tonigth at 7pm, but I'm also tempted to call in. For one, there are two birthday parties tonight. Second, I have done favors for coworkers and worked 3 of the last four saturdays and am sick of not having weekends. Third, there is a lot I could catch up on, including sleep which I am in short supply of. Fourth, I'm likely to get mandated which sucks in and of itself. Fifth, if I'm mandated, not only do I need to return 8 hours later to work a TWELVE hour shift after a SIXTEEN hour shift, but it will eff up my whole Saturday and ruin any chance of going to the Bulls game or getting errands run.
If I DO call in, first I'd feel guilty because I usually do. Plus it's a Friday and I feel bad leaving them short on a day when no one will come in. Second, even though the chances are SUPER slim, I could potentially bump into a coworker downtown.
okay two reasons not to call in, five reasons TO call in.
whatever will I do.....
