Typical Monday


I've seen some better days. Boy, today seemed to drag on and on. I had my heart set on going to the dojo, but to my surprise, they're closed for the week. Oh well, I'm there next Monday. As I was saying, work was typical today. It's pretty much the same thing over and over. Let me describe to you a typical day at the hospital.

I arrived at the parking lot assigned to us around 7:40 every morning. I catch the bus from the parking lot to the hospital. I start working at 8 am every morning. This is where the madness begins. You see, I deal with veterans. Usually, they are very nice. They come up to you and you check them in for their appointment. They make their way to a chair, have a seat, and wait to be called. (Now you know that I was going to throw a monkey wrench into this.) However, everyday we get one patient who thinks he/she is better than the rest. Either they do not like waiting or they beleive that they know the system inside and out. Sometimes they are easy to difuse. Lately, that has not been the case. We treat all of them with upmost respect. But, oh boy,do they try us!

After awhile, to break up the monotany, we come up with different games to play. One of my favorites is the Google search of the day. We think of something from our childhood and we begin a Google search for it. It's amazing the things that you find!

By the end of the day, I ready to leave work and head for home. However, as fate's hairy palm hand would have it, getting home is an adventure. Traffic here is getting worse. Oh well, suck it up I guess. It could be worse. I don't know how, but I bet it could get worse.

Oh well, at least I got my fun job and I'm healthy. That's enough for me. Well folks, y'all have a good week. Remember to make work fun. You're stuck there for eight hours a day. Take it easy . Keep safe and dream big!
