Bettina Green, Chaos and Crocodiles My Favorite Color Is Unicorn

So my back hurts should be in Hawaii by now.  I have no idea whether the boss talked to her as she told me she would before she left.  Am thinking not as my back hurts most likely would have come back to the office crying and having another freak out.

Tomorrow starts the two weeks of hell for me and my coworker as we try to do our own job plus cover hers while she's gone.

Let me just start by saying that while we each do our jobs a little differently, there are many things that are the same.  So when my back hurts sent us an EIGHT page document detailing the duties she expected us to follow, I was taken aback.

I was also pissed and offended.

Let me give you some examples so you will understand.  We all have doctor conferences we run.  We type up summaries of the patient's chart and make several copies stapled together. So when my back hurts wrote in this document HOW to make copies and where to put the staples? I mean WTF? Do you think we are truly that stupid?

Another example is telling us WHERE the conference takes place. Um duh, we all use the same conference room. How about stating where to place the copies in the conference room. I mean eight pages of stupid sh*t like this that did not need saying.  She didn't say anything to me about this so I didn't bring it up.

All I know is her practice is getting the bare mininum and that's how it's gonna be.

The other issue is she will not be taking care of her back while on vacation so is she going to come back part time like she's been doing the past three weeks? That was only supposed to last two weeks and it seems to just keep going and going.  Her new partner will be starting when she gets back and I'm betting the new girl won't last very long.  I'm going to start a pool.

Mark my words.  My back hurts refuses to change how she does things even though they are stupid and unnecessary.  The new girl is not going to want to just be someone who is told what to do and to do it like she's been doing it for the past thirteen years.  Yes it has been that long.

My boss wants me to have lunch with the new girl telling her how I run my stuff, but it won't make a damn bit of difference as my back hurts won't allow anything new.  It's really quite sad.

Oh and Ms Princess cried three times on Friday.  I've no idea why whatsoever.  She just said thank you for being my friend and we'll talk later.

Yeah ok.

Here we have Bettina Green.

Gorgeous as all get out, but maybe I could make it a bit better?

Here it is with Unicorn.

It's finally happened! Blogger has finally fixed the reading list area.  Before if you tried to remove a blog, the list wouldn't even load.  This has been broken since the day I signed up for this website in 2011.  I had to fix an error on my last post and I was at work so I went to that area just for sh*ts and grins and I was shocked that it actually loaded and let me unfollow blogs.

I was listed as following like 500 blogs.  An insane amount that no one can keep up with.  Plus, a huge majority of these blogs have quit blogging.  People think it's easy.  Nope.  It takes a lot of time and effort to keep this site up.  I went through and unfollowed a majority of them. I now follow about fifteen and a couple of those aren't blogging but I hope they come back. (Hint Chloe's Nails!)

Two weeks from the day I'm writing this, I will officially be in Canada fishing. I wait all year for this and it always goes by so fast.  I am off for twelve days straight but will only be gone seven days as my mom is going on an Alaskan cruise and I'm worried about leaving my cats for longer than that as they've been sick.

I am continuing on my Cypress Hill kick.  Just watched some videos and chats with B Real. Love me some B Real!

Oh and has this ever happened to you? I literally went into Target after work Friday ONLY to buy sugar as I have six hungry hummingbirds and I was almost out.  I walked by the women's section and saw my tank top shirts that I like to sleep in on CLEARANCE.

Ever since I started using the acne.org regimen the benzoyl peroxide has bleached all my sleep shirts. So yeah, I took it as a sign and bought nine of them.  When I went to check out, the cashier was brand new told me it was her first day on the register.  When she was ringing up my shirts, two rang up not on the clearance price.

She called another worker over and he showed her how to fix  the price.  What she didn't realize was that she only rang up eight shirts and I had bought nine.

Do you think I pointed that out to her? Hell no.  I figure that Target can afford to give me a free $6 shirt.  And no my conscious does not bother me whatsoever.  So instead of buying sugar, I walked out with nine new shirts and $50 poorer.

Oh but I needed them bad, so it's all good.  What I didn't realize was they are 39% modal.  I've had issues with those breaking down with washing, but so far, they are soft as all get out.

Today we have another Nails Inc polish. Savoy Hill.

Such a gorgeous orangey red creme.  I decided it needed to be holo-fied.  I added a layer of Unicorn.

I did a very light layer as these types of top coats tend to change the base color.  I didn't want that. Isn't this much better? I certainly think so!!!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

It has been so incredibly hot here that I have not been able to mow my yard at all.  It's way overgrown and it's going to take several passes to get it back to where it should be. I'm hoping that the temperature will drop and I can get out there as it doesn't look all that nice.

Checkers is doing better with her bladder infection. Sam is another story.  I had started giving him so much laxative to make him poop that I didn't see that it was making him sick.  I was up to 7cc of Lactulose a day and he still wasn't pooping. What he was doing was puking and acting sad and staying to himself.

I did some google searches and came across a website dedicated to all things cat constipation. It made me realize that no amount of laxative will work if there isn't enough water in the body to help things along. Being a nurse, this made sense to me.  There was also a section on how to massage the colon to help the poop come out.

Yeah, I went there.

So instead of the laxative the past few days, I've been forcing water down him and massaging his colon. You would think it was a new cat. He perked up, he talked to the birds that he hasn't done in months. He's eating good as he had lost another pound and he's pooped. I realized that I was trying to force him to poop daily and who am I to say that's his norm? It's not Checkers norm at all and I don't go nuts over her.

I'm going to continue with the water feeding as Sam has never been a good water drinker and see how he does.  The research said cats need 5-10oz of water a day.  The first day I got 1oz in him-we are talking 6ccs at a time.  Which to put it in perspective is six times a day to reach the 1oz.  Yeah not fun to get Sam in a half nelson hold to syringe force water down him.  Today I'm trying to use a larger syringe to see if that's better.

I'm just trying to get them to a place where I feel good about leaving them alone for my fishing trip.

Here's a funny that happened where I live.  There's this commercial for this bail bondsman who's motto was "because you're needed at home." Not sure about that, crooks may be better kept in jail, but who am I to judge?

So I'm reading the newspaper-yes I still actually read the paper-and there's the same bail bondsman, but this time, he's the one who's been arrested! Why??? Because he was propositioning sex in lieu of paying the bail money.  I burst out laughing it was so absurd to me!

Anywho, remember when I told you that Nails Inc commented on my NexGen post? I said I should pull out a few and wear them again.  Here's the first one, St John's Wood.

Yup, here are my new gel nubs.  And you can see here, that cremes show all my gel mistakes. I should have glued tips on.  Maybe next time.  Anywho, this is a stunning color right????

Here's what happened when I added Nine Zero Twinkle Lights.

Now this covers up all those mistakes in my gel!  Oh how I love this glitter! I swear to you this is my favorite thing ever!  I need a back up bottle big time!!!!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Enchanted Polish Miami Peach, Lynnderella Connect the Dots

Today we shall be seeing glitter.  We all know that is a rarity here. Since I've not been in the mood for nail art, I figured I'd try to jazz it up somehow for you.

I promised you coworker updates today. Oh and there is so much to tell!

First, let's update on my back hurts.  This past Friday, she once again had a melt down crying hysterical yelling how she knew 'this place would f*ck up my vacation' and on and on. I was on the phone with a patient and turned around gave her the look of death and stuck my hand up in her face in essence telling her to shut up.

She kept on.

The others in the room were all coddling her and telling her not to worry that all will be taken care of. But she's still crying yelling carrying on.  I'm wondering if she's on some sort of pain medicine and it's affecting her this way as she's never been like this before.  I've worked with her for seven years now and this is the first time I've seen this type of behavior from her.

She had a clerk who was supposed to help her but come to find out my back hurts was a b*tch to work with, sending nasty emails if this poor clerk did something wrong. Now this clerk came from the cafeteria and had NO medical knowledge of any kind. So to expect she would know what a pathology report is or a CT scan report is is ludicrous.

So that clerk now refuses to work with her and is looking for another job. Isn't that nice? So my back hurts is so awful she is making people want to quit. Her hysterics are all about her and for some crazy reason she thinks the place would absolutely stop running with her not there.

No one is that important.

No one.

I have to admit, I lost my sh*t over her behavior.  It has been three weeks that this literally has been going on and I can't take it any more.  I went straight to my boss and tattled. You bet I did. My back hurts has gone too far this time and she isn't the only one in this office of twelve people.  It seems the boss had just gotten off the phone from someone else complaining about her so it wasn't news to her.

I know my boss didn't talk to her on Friday so I'm thinking she will this week as her f*cking Hawaii vacation starts this weekend.

I told my boss there is no way she will come back from vacation all healed and her back better. And the new hired nurse to do breast with her will start while she's gone and I swear right now that I bet my back hurts will scare her away.

Shall we make a wager now?

I promise you I'm at the point that if she does this sh*t again, I will get in her face and tell her off.

Now the other coworker who I thought was sane until she sent that ultimatum email? Let's call her Ms Princess has gotten into it with a nurse practitioner over patient care.  Apparently there was a screaming match literally while there were patients in exam rooms.  Not cool.  So that NP went to my boss and tattled on her.

Yeah it's been hell at work lately.

Let's look at Enchanted Polish Miami Peach.

Now I love cremes but damn they show off all the bumpies from my gel technique! And no I'm not loving this by itself.  So let's see what happened when I added Connect the Dots.

Actually, I did add a layer of Colors by Llarowe Aliens and Outlaws first but it wasn't enough. I have totally forgotten how much I love Connect the Dots.  I even own a back up bottle of a glitter!!

I wish the sun had been out as you would have gotten the holo sparkle in this too. Oh and this is the last one with my long nails.  Next few will be with way shorter nails!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
