work

yesterday I went to work half an hour late...I didn't know there was a different time for the weekends...baaahhhhh!
so today I will try to get there on time...and I also go to charlotte's little dedication...I have been asked to be a sponsor. SO I have some lines and we read this special Anglican service and then i head back to work for the other 9 hours and work like a mad woman.
Other than that I try and sleep when I am home so I am very boring right now.
Oh, yesterday one of the girls I work with said she thought I was only 21...I told her I liked her and she is my favorite:)
this is really boring but I really have no news. lately I have been watching CSI Miami seasons and so now my fav saying is, "I can CSI that!"
SO other than being boring and extremely un-original I am having a marvelous time.

reunion...

So the Booney's are visiting their new grandbaby and the Davis' are here from singapore and we all had supper together...what fun! It was almost a full on reunion but there are new little people around and yes, as always not everyone shows up at these reunions...I mean their are so many KB families i haven't seen for ages and ages...much less all together!
But I am lucky, right now in three hills I have two favorite uncles and aunties so thats happyness...
WE do need James Bonney here to get auntie Janet laughing so hard she cries:) Not too mention a loud hymn sing, or pool party of old:)
WE did do the long talk with the Davis' the other nite and that was fun...you forget that their are people out there who want to hear about your life and plans and dreams even if they are not coming true...but they still want to hear...
Anyway, other than that i have three jobs and no life and I am in My Fair Lady (the maid) and so I have to go to sleep so i can be brilliant at my now busy scheduled existence....so for today i have tons of family, many old friends and lots to keep me busy...I guess life doesn't get any more full than this...

DIng DOng the witch is dead...tra la la la la...

SO I finally have half a day off. Not much will happen today other than laundry and downloading my new to me pictures of my trip to San Fransisco...thank you linds!
but I am in a much better mood and am feeling much more able to try this new 'pam' job...by calling it my pam job I am attempting to glamorize it as the office wanna be that I am...unfortunately there is nothing glamorous about ordering stool samples and transcribing stool softeners for 12 hours a day...
so anyway, I think the witch (in me) is definitely dead...however there is always the wicked witch of the east, west, north or south to replace it come monday...
my cousin Chrissie played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz which I went to see on the 17th with Andi...can I just say my family is talented and chrissie did an amazing job...also, my new favorite thing is the wizard of Oz and Wicked...seriously...the best shows EVER!
Ding Dong the witch is...
dead!!

Eileen left mess.

okay so my new job is a gong show. I work as the secretary for a hospital, unit clerk if you will. Basically in the last 12 hours I have processed Echo's, Labs, X-ray's and even babies...yes whodda thought that babies mean 10 labels, 4 care plan sheets a ULI and mountains of charting...
Anyway, so now I call people to come fill shifts-I am not the best at phoning anyway and here I am telling people to get there butts in gear to work...so as I was writing down who I had called and who had picked up the phone and whom I had left a message for; an irate co-worker came to me with one of the sheets in hand asking what did I mean by writing by her name, 'left mess.' Where had she left a mess? Why didn't I just talk to her in person? Gong! Gong!
Well, left a mess really meant left a message and after that it was so funny but unfortunately I am still scared....
I hate paperwork...was asking my sister why I am the one taking anal retentive jobs when she could do so much better at details than myself....she told me it was because I'm single and she's married....another reason to hate singleness...tonight I don't need any reasons to hate anything!!!!!!!!
Sidenote...being like Pam and working in an office is not all I thought it would be. I hate "the office"!
so if anyone is out there and would happen to remember that there is a crazy lost and dumb girl trying to become a secretary please send up a little prayer...
this is day 2 of training, I get 4 more and then I am thrown to the wolves (doctors) and lions (patients) and bears (phones)...
but i still luv the nurses...

forgot

about my mums latest obsession...she read this book called The Shack. It's mostly theology put into a story and seen through a relationship BUT she sent me and my sister a copy and now she is sending it to all the missionaries too...apparently it's a must read:)
interesting side note-Dad has not read it!
so I thought it was an allegory when I started reading it and it was interesting and definitely thought provoking but then I realized at the end that it's based on a true story...I went back and reread the forward and yes, it is a true story...how I missed that is still kinda weird; I don't think I would have read it if I really thought it was a true story, it kinda seemed 'fantastic'. Anyway all that to say that my Mcmitter still asks me what I thought and my impressions...but here's the truth-
I only read the book cause I knew it was about a 'God-encounter' and one of my friends from college just lost her baby at 8 months, Brennan is what her and her hubbie named him. His name means sorrow and I just couldn't stop thinking about how terribly sad and unfair it was to Jen and Brian. But when I met up with them and a few other good friends I couldn't help but feel like I was watching something very precious and holy. Sorrow is one of the most real things in this world and it was pretty jarring to see...in a paper cut-out, red tape, cellphone, HD life.
SO anyway I needed a God encounter and the book is about relationship with Jesus and meaning in life and premature death and the mess that we are versus the perfect fractal that God sees(read the book). So even though it didn't answer any questions or make me think that I had clarity of any sort on really...anything, it just kinda helped to know that yes, life is a mess. But God works his perfect in every mess...okay I'll stop now,

Comunication, Relationships, Life and my mother's latest obsession!

the thing is that 3 days ago I had no clue about today; isn't that the way life just is? I mean who'da thought right?
Anyway, issues; I am tired of sorting through them, dealing with them, HAVING them!
Seriously, the older I get the more I seem to invent. I was thinking the other day that I never thought I'd have this many issues when I was 26...
and then there is today...
in the last 24 hours I read Romans, talked with my parents talked with my sister went to sleep and got up late for work and got there and realized I was early (daylight savings messes up my mind; but in this case it helped:)
Then I got offered a job that pays $16 an hour-it's not over yet...
my grandparents wanted me to stop by, then invited me back for supper...Grandma agrees that everyone is weird but me and her...which is still basically my life motto at this point!
And THEN I got the mail and a year late birthday card from my cousin saying exactly what I needed to hear TODAY...funny, but I probably needed it then too:) And then my friend sent me a card and a check today too...seriously usually I just get bills!
so even though I still have a virus on my computer, I don't know what life is, I have no car and I am reaching a ripe old age...to which all the old men remind me of at the hospital...ahhhhhhh and I quote..."Your still single??????" end quote! Oh and a lady at work asked for my number for her son! Who is just getting through a divorce and has a kid...seriously I am not ready for those kind of problems...
well, today is like a McD's chocolate sundae with peanuts on top...
and it's +8C! oh and I am using my sisters computer and she let me use her car today...so life couldn't possibly better beeeeeeeeeeee
