It has been some time since I've posted something in this blog. Not sure why...maybe apathy, laziness or just a blah attitude to putting anything down for anyone else to read. I have a habit of sharing my daily routine with my wonderful Wife and she patiently listens to my nerdy ramblings.
Speaking of nerdy stuff, I'm no longer in the Conference Center. I took a new job in the same hospital as a Technical Analyst in the IT&S department. I went from a private office on the 2nd floor of a relatively new tower to a cube in the basement devoid of any natural light. I am constantly surrounded by screens, computers, laptops and various gadgets and tech stuff that keeps me content and my mind constantly occupied. This is a VERY good thing. I basically sit in my cube and work trouble tickets that come in from various departments around the hospital. One thing that has become more clear to me than anything since I've been in IT is that the general populous of clinicians and clinical managers are fucking stupid. At least here they are. And when I say stupid I mean they know NOTHING beyond what is right in front of them. On top of all that they are all in an ass-kissing contest with our still-new CEO. It's disgusting but at least I don't have to subject myself directly to their world. I go in, do what I have to and then I'm gone. Most of my stuff can be done remotely as well.....BONUS. On top of that I can still listen to music and chat with Melissa....BONUS..BONUS!!!
I did start school this semester. It didn't go as well as I expected and pretty much bombed. I suck at math and couple that with starting a new position....well let's just say I had a meltdown and the semester is/was a bust. There is always next semester and I'm in no hurry to finish.
As I have immersed myself deeper into the IT world I realize that I should have worked harder to stay in it before. I went to culinary school and took a huge detour and learned some skills that will definitely benefit everyone around me. Was it worth the cost.....that is still to be decided. Am I much happier now...definitely. More-so in my new job than before. When I leave work I leave work at work. I don't get the random calls on Saturday mornings because the stupid breast feeding instructor can't learn how to turn shit on or calls from my Director telling me about her current ailment and why she can't come in to work. The only time I'll have to take a call after work is when my name falls in the on-call rotation. Then I'll actually be getting PAID for answering that call and for potentially having to go in to help someone.
I'm looking forward to 2011. I'm looking forward to spending another year with the woman I love more than myself and seeing what happens. We always have something planned or a goal we want to achieve. We have been thinking about a rent house after this lease is up, have a few other things planned for next year but beyond that I couldn't tell you. We tend to be spontaneous and I love that about us.
That's all I have. I hope those of you who read this (if anyone) have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Spend these last days of 2010 with those you love and who love you equally. Too often we cherish the tangible and take the intangible for granted. I'll be around.....
