life goes easy on me...most of the time

• well kids---we have hit that point where it is once again time for me to move! i know--try to hide your surprise....i am officially starting graduate school at west chester university and moving to a bitchin' apartment near the school. two floors, washer, dryer, dishwasher, hard wood floors, two bedrooms, two full--yes full bathrooms, new renovation; paint, kitchen, appliances....oh man is it awesome--and heat and water are included in rent and cable is split between the bottom floor apartment and ours. no pet rent or deposit, big fenced in back yard---what more could a girl and her dog want? moving in just after christmas, i'm psyched....and aparently regressing back to the 80's....lol...yes, i am awesome. as i told amber recently---i pretty much rock at living--
• on the less interesting side of things... my current employment is shall we say less than satisfactory...ha! it's bloody rediculous quite actually. i am working swing shifts at the hospital and i occassionally do some things that i really enjoy but for the most part it is a whole lot of bs. i have so many stories....so everyone must be at my apartment for new year's so we can share:) but essentially i am in the process once again of searching for a new job. one where i will be much happier and have normal hours. right now i am working three different shift....primarily days and nights---and by nights i mean 11 pm to 7:30 am.....so an average week is day shift monday (7 am - 3:30 pm) night shift tuesday and wednesday, off friday, night shift saturday and sunday, evening monday, off tuesday, begin again....to say the least---and i do mean the least, it sucks. i have become quite the miserable person these days...just as anthony;) i told britni the other night, i don't think it sucks so much to be me right now so much as it is bad to be my friends and family right now....since i'm so crochety and all...so basically i'm just trying to find something that pays pretty well that is close to my new place so i'm not driving to east jahbip to get to work. i'm not going to curse any current job prospects by talking about them so you'll just have to wait another two months to find out where i'm actually working then...but i can assure you that it will not be the hospital for much longer. i'm doing the crazy swing shift crap that residents and attendings do without the pay that docs get....can i get a ''aw hehhhhl no." ah, well, such is life. by january i will, at the very least, not be working here--and i will hopefully be working elsewhere, maybe--probably outside the field but hey, it's okay because i'll have my master's in a few years, the field will still be there, might as well make some money in the mean time right?
• so this is christmas...nice to be home for the holidays, nice to know all of my loved ones will be together. the newest member of my extended family should be arriving any day now as well. my sister expects to have jaylynn elizabeth within the next couple of days---and i'm close enough to see her routinely. awesome. well i think that is a relatively comprehensive review for now. i believe i will leave you--maybe i'll be inspired to update more frequently...ha, i won't even call it a new year's resolution--they're all crap. well, hope this finds everyone well, happy holidays!
