tuesday is limbo day

yes. limbo day. in my opinion.

DailyCandy Deals Weekly wasn't so good this week. well, maybe it was. i consider a "good" Deals week one that includes a stationery shop. big surprise, i'm sure.

new stationery find: http://susyjack.etsy.com/
free domestic shipping on quite a few of these items . . . i like that. as much as i love Bellamuse and Luxe Paperie and am willing to pay a little extra for the original cardstock design they have, the shipping costs drive me up the wall. as if i haven't spent enough for your yuppy stationery. phooey.

anyway, this lady also has a regular site: http://www.susyjack.com/. i don't like all of the designs, but there are some original ones that are fun. my favorite product of hers is the mosaic heart card :)

okay, i know i'm insane, but i had to take the candy bowl off the counter for a few days. people were literally pawing through it and taking handfuls of candy. it was disgusting. particularly given the fact that i know a number of my patients have challenges, and don't always wash their hands. I JUST CANNOT TAKE IT. another thing i just cannot take is when people smell . . . i know not everyone can help it . . . or can they? i think some people just have a natural smell that isn't very pleasant, and i'm very sensitive to these things. sometimes i feel nauseous. so i keep a contraband bottle of my own scented lotion (technically i should only use hospital-approved stuff, but that stuff won't help the odor problem) and put it on when it gets bad.

i'm sure there are peeps who would say they hate my perfume / lotion / shampoo, but at least i don't walk around smelling like a foot, or something worse. ugh.

i'm busy but bored . . . and i hate the appointment pacing that sometimes emerges: a patient or two is coming in every half hour. i hate it! i never get quite done with anything before someone else comes in, so i end up feeling disjointed and inefficient all day, not to mention the fact that i never get to eat. and as in every doctor's office, you aren't done with the patient once you've checked them in . . . you have to be ready to help them check out as well, which happens at pretty much any time and often overlaps with someone else arriving, or happens 5 minutes into the very short 30-minute gap between patients . . . in a word, i feel DISCOMBOBULATED.

keep trucking, tuesday . . . i want you to be over.
i'm hungry.
