This is when it starts getting really weird. Then an ambulance showed up and took the guy to the hospital (I was thinking, "Damn, that guy got wasted pretty fast"). Then another cop showed up and they gave the guy a sobriety test. So the cop asked me to wait in my car and went to talk to him again. The cop was going to cite him and let him go until I pointed out the guy had been driving about 20mph in a 40mph zone without headlights before he hit me (this was about 6pm, so it was dark out). I couldn't even accelerate to get out of the way. The guy who rear-ended me was driving a big, old pickup, so lots of damage to my car, minimal damage to his, and he plowed into me at a red light. If you haven't heard this story, truth can be stranger than fiction. No one else's.Īnd.I'm stressed because I got rear-ended two days ago, right when we were finishing the inservices for the clinical trial.
The clinical trial really is a good thing because we're trying to do good things for patients but it is very labor intensive. It really stinks because there are three RAs and I feel like everything gets dumped on me because the other two have a tendency to mess stuff up (which brings up the other question of why they're still working for us, but don't get me started). And do whatever random crap the boss asks for. And do all the ICU unit surveillance (which really ought to be done by the medical staff). And I have to keep all the product stocked on both units. And I have to consent every admit to both units because the trial is at the unit level, but the patients have to consent so we can access their medical record. I'm stressed because we're starting a new clinical trial Monday. The worst part is that it will growl for food then pretend there's no room for food because of all the acid reflux.
It gets upset, doesn't want to digest anything, etc. A well-made movie.Ĭurrent knitted item: Christmas sock #2 is mostly doneĪnymore these days, when I get really stressed out it all goes to my stomach. Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels are excellent and the actors playing the kids are very good as well. I also slogged through The Squid and the Whale which is a short movie, but absolutely excruciating in the way that the film is so truthful. Unfortunately, he's been retired for the last 20 years, so I have to watch on DVD. Manon is not generally a ballet that I like, there's far too much exposition between the major points of action, but the redeeming quality of this performance is to watch Anthony Dowell dance he has the most beautiful ballet line, Royal Ballet trained all the way, and such beautiful control in the adagio. Watched a 1982 production of Kenneth MacMillan's Manon starring Jennifer Penny and Anthony Dowell (now Sir Anthony). Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix released so yay. I watched some movies this weekend because that's all I could concentrate on. I get plowed into at a red light and I'm the one who's going to take it up the rear, if you get my drift. I'm about to be screwed 110 different ways over this car accident (and also, by extension, my parents as well because they are nice people who try to help out thier kids). And not particularly interested in maintaining good relations with clients. Insurance adjusters (particularly the one I'm dealing with) are scum. I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe.?In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health.And if you do, I'll kick your butt. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble.
