~What the hell...
~Tuesday was quite uneventful. I was semi-busy in Short Stay, making charts and discharging patients. There was nothing really exciting, although yesterday was a tad more interesting. While I was in the breakroom, aparently bored out of my mind, Catalina and another nurse came in talking about a certain gorgeous man sitting with a patient (who was either his brother or his cousin, I don't remember). Catalina mentioned that he had been married for 28 years, and the other nurse asked, "What? That cute boy??" Now, I, of course, just had to see what this fellow looked like, so I'm getting up and asking, "Where's the cute boy...man...whatever?" They showed me, and just then, an honest to goodness handsome doctor/surgeon walks by and the second nurse's eyes are following his ass saying "Well, he's not that bad either." Why I bring this up? Because I had to take this patient down in a wheelchair a few minutes after, and when I reached the car, the gorgeous relative was helping him get into the front seat while saying "You lucky boy, having a pretty girl give you a ride in a wheelchair. Hell, I want a pretty girl to give me a ride in a wheelchair."
~Honestly...why I can attract older men, and not guys my age is beyond me. To those males who are my age...give or take a couple years: YOU DISGUST ME!
~I was in the Gift Shop today. I cleaned out the backroom a bit, then headed upstairs and priced Christmas ornaments. The upstairs storage room still sucks. There is ONE plug, no air-conditioning (and all there is is this little fan that doesn't do much), and a lot of boxes. There's very little space to work in and it feels cramped. Around 4, my supervisors just let me...do whatever for an hour before I headed home.
~A couple nights ago, I was watching The Breakfast Club and then I watched some television and on came a commercial about...haha...pads and periods. In the commercial, there were four women: two white, one black, and one Hispanic (Latina...I don't know the correct political terms for people anymore). So...if The Breakfast Club were to be made today...how would it be made so it would be more 'politically correct'? Obviously the movie has only white characters...would it be more or less 'politically correct' if not only the stereotypes were portrayed, but different races as well. Of course, you'd kill the movie if you took out the stereotypes, but what about what races fit those particular stereotypes? What ethnicities/races would portray the brain, athlete, basketcase, princess, and criminal figures in the film? Or is this even less 'politically correct'? Sorry if that was confusing, but I am very curious. I'd mention it in
debate, but I'm too scared to.
