Okay, I haven't been around to post much, and when I have popped in most of what I've seen is political, so I haven't bothered to reply. My stories are sitting in the laptop begging me to work on them, but there have been more pressing matters.
I have been in a stare down witha huricane, which thankfully missed me. I have moved, which was a pain in the ass but I survived. I am now getting hit with a triple whammy.
In work I am dealing with a racial headache. (I am the only male, not to mention the only white Aide on my unit.) I have taken over the scheduling, the making of assignments, and I am the one in charge of Emergency Preparedness on my unit. Not by choice mind you, but because no one else is willing to do these things alonge with their normal job. I am still the lowest paid Aide on the floor. Now I am being accused of being a racist and a sexist because I won't take on twice the atients of the other Aides. What makesit worse is the fact managment is afraid to back me because they know there is a lawsuit in the making.
On the home front I am dealing with looking at another storm possibly heading my way. (Frances.) As well as my wife having two lumps in her breasts. We are watching Frances nd waiting on test results. (Can you say hell for me? I work on a Cancer Unit in a larger Hospital.)
Whenever I bother to turn on the TV all I see is politicians squaking about who served where and did what. To me right now that doesn't matter shit. Yeah G.W. flew Jets, and Kerry played in the mud. So did I and a lot of other people. Who gives a royal shit? Lets talk about telling the truth. (Yeah right, and that's going to happen in the government.)
Now as for those who have been following my stories yes I am still working on the cancer survivor story. Have I gotten a bit more insight into it? Yeah, a little, but not much. Will it piss some people off? Oh yeah I'm sure it will! Do I care, nope, not a bit. Why not? Maybe it's because I have to deal with it every day. My mother has survived four rounds of cancer. My wife is staring it in the face. I have been misdiagnosed with a terminal form of it, and I work on a cancer floor. I have a slight understanding of what people go through with it.
Like I said, it's been a hell of a month.
