what and odd day

So today was quite interesting. I was going to meet my brother for lunch and there was a car parked behind mine so I couldn't get out. After looking at it for a second and the fact that it was still running I called a friend of mine to debate whether or not I should just move it. While I was on the phone with her the owner of the car came out and I asked her to move it. She said she would be done in a couple of minutes. I told her that I had somewhere to be and would appreciate if she moved it now. She told me just to wait she was almost done. I told her that she was being rude and that she should move her car now. She then says you can see people are obviously moving stuff in and it was rude that I was ask her to do so. So at this point I was beyond pissed and just started telling her that the world does not revolve around her and that she was inconsiderate and a bitch and asked her to move her car again. Obviously she didn't move it and asked if I was going to call the cops on her. I said no and got into my car pissed, with that kind of trashy behavior I should have but seriously I don't have that kind of time, it is just stupid that she wouldn't move her car and was so rude about it and not apologizing once.

The best part of this story is I came home to meet a friend and then we were headed out to Target, in the span of 5 minutes when I went to get my friend someone parks behind my car and I can't get out to go to target, at least he was apologetic but still so annoying!

younger men

So this will be a short one but I thought I would share my funny experience at work yesterday. I got phlembotomy certified a while ago which means I can do lab draws on patients. So we had a 17 year old who needed labs so I went in there to draw his blood. He was totally milking the fact that we are pretty much all girls on the floor working and doing stuff he asked us to. He started joking around and making me nervous on the lab draw but it went fine and I got all the blood we needed. So I leave the room and my friend is in there and he starts asking about me. How old I am, if I would date him. Basically my friend just told him you are too you and she would get fired. He then told her, well I am going to hit on her anyway.

it is hard to be on top

So I am not sure I will keep this updated well but it is worth a shot. I am most likely just use this as an outlet to rant and feel free to tell me I am out of line but I think sometimes things are just to frustrating to keep inside and I feel bad always complaining to my friends. So in turn if you choose to read this you are forcing my whining upon yourself :)

I had drill this weekend and it was a four day drill so it pretty much was my whole week and I had to work at the hospital and go to class so I was a little drained. Unfortunately when I am tired or stressed I just don't become the nicest person. I get irritated easily and am more moody. I know this is a flaw but I find the guard to be an annoyance sometimes. There are so many double standards but when I weigh benefits over draw backs I just can't see quitting just yet.

Anyway, to get to the point. This weekend is just another week of being an trainer. I am suppose to be training two other guys on my crew because I am the highest ranking of the traditionals which means the people who work the one weekend a month two weeks a year. The problem with that is that I am the youngest person on our crew and of course the only female. While these two things shouldn't matter I feel like they do. I asked them to do stuff over and over again and they never seemed to get done. I would make a decision to get something done and they would question whether or not that was the correct choice. I really just got to the point where I was so mad that I told them what to do and left them to do my own thing. I just can't believe that when someone asks you to do something you question what they say and argue with them. These are learning experiences and isn't it just easier to do what you are asked. I just ended up doing it myself and am going to have to figure out another way to get my point across. I don't know how well it is going to go but we are going to have to sit down to talk and figure out something that will work for us because I can't go to work every month and just get pissed off and hate being there. I am not going to let them ruin my experience.
