Some Assembly Required
2008-02-05 15:19:00 This is what happens when you aren’t working and are bored. For the first time in my life, I assembled something by myself…my el-cheapo computer desk that I bought at Big Lots over the weekend. I surfed on over to Radio Paradise, turned on the tunes, and methodically and carefully went through the steps of ... More About: Assembly , General
Every (Under)dog Has Its Day
2008-02-04 14:59:00 I can’t believe it. I rooted for the Giants in the Super Bowl and they pulled it off! This was so gratifying for some reason. I think it made me feel good because it just reinforces the idea that nothing is impossible. I was proud for Eli Manning and his team. ... More About: General , New York Giants , Tom Petty
Butter and Egg Money
2008-02-03 15:51:00 Some things just blow my mind. I called my ex-boss Friday morning to get his cell phone number so I could give it to Mary at Amphion when she calls on Tuesday. I asked him how it was going and he said they were “buried.” We talked for a few minutes and it was nice. I ... More About: Money , General , Butter
I?ve Been Tagged Again
2008-02-02 23:01:00 Yep, Sabine tagged me on this one, so I guess I’ll be “it” for now. The rules of the tag: - Pick your birth month. - Bold the 5-10 that best apply to you. - Copy to your own journal, with all twelve months. - Tag 12 people from your friends list. My birth month is November. OK, here goes: NOVEMBER: ... More About: General , Tagged
You Know You?re Getting Old?
2008-02-01 17:29:00 …when Shirley Partridge (actress Shirley Jones, remember The Partridge Family?) shows up on the soap you’re watching, and she looks like this: More About: General
Employment!
2008-01-30 14:13:00 God is good, even when I’m not. Yesterday afternoon, I got a phone call from Mary, the recruiter at Amphion Medical Solutions. I passed the entrance exam with a 94%! I almost fell over in shock! Mary was one of the most genuinely nice people I have ever had the pleasure to speak ... More About: General , Employment
An update on Karen
2008-01-29 22:37:00 We got a phone call from Karen s family today. Her kidneys have failed and her liver is shutting down. Her team of doctors have told her there’s nothing more they can do. Needless to say, I am pretty upset. So would you please continue to keep Karen and her family in your prayers. I’m sorry this is so ... More About: Update , Susan
A Constant Struggle
2008-01-29 15:04:00 Sometimes I feel I am not winning this battle with depression. I hate that my genetic code has dealt me this hand. There are days when I feel that nothing I do is good enough, no matter how much I put into it. I know I have an unrealistic view, but I ... More About: General
I Love Me Some Pasta!
2008-01-28 14:40:00 We watched Rachael Ray make this over the weekend, and I begged Randy to cook it for me. Yeah, I cooked the penne and stirred the sauce in. That was the extent of my involvement. It was delicious! Can’t wait to have it leftover tonight! Roasted Garlic and Grape ... More About: Love , Pasta
Very Special Day

Testing 1-2-3
2008-01-24 13:18:00 In five more reports, I will be done with the ASUP. It’s hard to believe. I guess when you have nothing else to do for 6 to 8 hours a day, it’s easier to understand though. I have one more test to take–the Amphion entrance exam. It’s the same test ... More About: General , Testing
Things I Miss
2008-01-23 13:23:00 I’m reminiscing about the items that used to be available to me but have now either vanished into history or just don’t show up in my little corner of the world anymore. Stouffer’s Pasta Mexicali - One of the few frozen dishes that tasted unique and homemade. They stopped making it years ago and I’ve ... More About: General , Miss , Things
Um?
2008-01-22 14:26:00 …is it Friday yet? P.S. I just realized after I posted this that my weather widget claims there is light SNOW falling. Things that make you go hmmm. More About: General
Embracing the Mundane
2008-01-21 14:18:00 OK, so my blog doesn’t contain anything earth-shattering, thought-provoking, or anger-inducing, i.e., politics, ad nauseum. Isn’t there enough of that in the world to go around already? I’m sticking with nice, boring things like having hot water (yes, it’s fixed!!). I’ve always said it’s the little things. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I ... More About: General
Bad Karma Day
2008-01-20 16:37:00 Yesterday was strange. Very strange. The light in our stained glass display had gone out the day before. No big deal. Then, yesterday, a light bulb went out in my makeup mirror. Again, no big deal since I don’t even go out of the house much anymore to warrant putting my face ... More About: General , Karma
An Update on Karen, my Co-Worker
2008-01-18 01:36:00 In the last post, I told y’all about my friend and co-worker Karen . The readers digest version is she has been diagnosed with stomach cancer, had 95% of her stomach removed and wasn’t able to keep anything down. After chemo yesterday, I took the scenic route home and went by to see Karen. She has been ... More About: Update , Susan , Worker
Achievement
2008-01-17 14:25:00 Just a piece of paper, I know. It’s not even a “diploma” per se. I realize that. It does mean something to me, though. For me, it is proof that I didn’t let fear win this time. I didn’t let my lack of self-esteem prevent me from change…a major change. Since ... More About: General , Achievement
Feel the Burn!
2008-01-16 14:11:00 In 2007, surgery and my own lack of willpower resulted in a major weight gain. Since dieting is totally out of the question (and usually doesn’t work for me anyway), I have to rely on moving my body to get back into shape. My new job will require many hours of sitting, so ...

Hello Detroit!
2008-01-13 18:41:00 Carin, thank you for asking how I am doing. Here’s what I’ve been up to since Thanksgiving (has it really been that long?????) My wonderful doctor thought it would be a nice thing to give me a break from chemo over the Christmas holidays. Things were steady (no growth, no shrinkage either), so it seemed like a good ...

I did it!!!
2008-01-12 20:29:00 After taking the ASUP entrance exam, which was extremely tough, I began applying with other companies. I knew I had failed. Most of my time this week was spent emailing letters/applications/resumes/references. Not an easy thing to do for someone who has been employed for over half her life. I need to ...

Catch 22
2008-01-11 15:13:00 It’s interesting. In the medical transcription field, most companies will not even consider you unless you have 2-3 years’ experience. How the heck are new grads supposed to GET that experience if they won’t hire them? Thankfully, there are a few places that welcome newbies. I think I’ve applied with almost ...

Free as a bird?
2008-01-10 15:09:00 Thanks to Anina for this one. You Would Be a Pet Bird You’re intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance. You charm people easily, and they usually love you a lot more than you love them. You resent anyone who tries to own or control you. You refuse to be fenced in.Why you would make a great pet: You’re ... More About: General , Free
Job Hunting at Home. What a Concept.
2008-01-09 16:52:00 It’s only 9:45 a.m. and already I have: Printed and snail mailed a followup letter to a local MT. Applied and did 2 tests for an MTSO online. Posted on the Career Step forum. Emailed a cover letter and resume to Amphion. Started a second load of laundry. Speaking of laundry, I have discovered that when you wear the same outfit ...

Bittersweet
2008-01-08 14:04:00 I received my Final results yesterday. 100% on the objective and 90% on transcription, graduating with Honors. I’m grateful, but I’m also disappointed. I really felt I had what it took to make High Honors. Is is so wrong for me to feel this way? Although retaking the transcription portion is an ... More About: General , Bittersweet
Monday never felt so good?
2008-01-07 13:03:00 Silence. Randy just left for work. I refilled my coffee cup and am writing this, before I transcribe a few reports for practice. It’s hard to believe I’m not stressing over another day at the office. I’m not going up to that place…I don’t have to ever again! I feel ... More About: General , Felt , Good , Monday

2008-01-06 16:01:00 I’m so glad I have friends who send me stuff that make me snap out of my little pity parties and realize how spoiled I am. Life is good at the Jones house.

?Patience? My Gluteus Maximus!
2008-01-05 20:10:00 Yesterday was a very big downer for me. Most students get their Final results before the two-week waiting period is up. Of course, I’m not most students. Naturally. Okay, so there were a couple of holidays in there. Still, I was really hoping to end the week on a positive ... More About: General , Patience , Maximus
