It's as if I'm 15 again. When my mother comes home and all creativity is zapped. I feel on edge, only because I know she'll come in and break my concentration every 10 minutes. Oh yes, woe is me.

I don't like D2K as much as Dark Knight Returns. But only because of the computer-driven backgrounds. Frank Miller is still genius.

I went to my friends baby shower last week. I bought her one of those infant tubs. It was really neat, with an inflatable pillow and everything. Swank baby tub. I realized I'm not a "normal girl"...especially when it came time to open the gifts and the entire room was all "OOOOhhh! AWWWW! EEEEEEE! OH SO CUUUUUTE!" Too much estrogen, ya dig.

Ian was supposed to come pick me up after the baby shower, but due to miscommunication, he was really late. I ended up having to just get a ride down to Mass. and after doing a little shopping, I attempted to call him again. It was nice, because he said even though he knew it wasn't his fault there was still the possibility that I would be pissed. The nice part is, he said it was a relief knowing that I wouldn't be. It's good to be a sane girlfriend.

The place where I work is now going to a 24/7 basis. My schedule might change. Though, for the life of me, I can't see why Medicare would need that many reps on during the hours of 11:00pm and 5:00am. Are the oldies all insomniacs?

I took a call today from a lady who was hiding her cancer from her family. I nearly cried. I don't know what to tell you...but this new prescription coverage, it might not be a bad deal after all. Only time will tell. Yesterday, I had someone who was so happy with the money she'll be saving that all she could say was, "Ohhhh, I love you! I love you!" There are good moments. But I still hate my job.

I really miss Ian right now.

p.s. And I updated at staticfield, if you need a writing assignment.

Hi, pretty lady. :)

Yes, the old people are insomniacs.

More than you'd know.

Old PRE-verts are insomniacs. ;)

Long winded comment time!

At my last job I worked for a mail order pharmacy. It was mostly pacific care and secure horizons patients though. I remember talking to this one lady who was on 23 different medications. She started crying on the phone telling me about how she had called earlier but another rep refused to help her out with her order, since she was new to mail order and you had to input an order for all of her medications by hand and that took me a good half hour and how she can't afford medication and she cried from relief since mail-order was much cheaper. That poor lady was just bawling, it just broke my heart. Same thing when I did my 6 week stint at the Veteran's hospital, some of those vets got to me. So I know how depressing it can be, I feel for you.

THANK you.

That's exactly what it's like. It's nice when you can help them, and you feel good...but at the same time, you wonder how many people don't find help, and why does it have to be like this.

Last night, I took a call from gentleman who, though rather "off", was complaining about health care in the U.S. He was just listing countries with universal health care plans and kept asking me why we don't have that. Speaking as an uninsured, I wish I knew.
