Life, the Universe, and Everything

Hi guys!
I haven't posted in awhile.
I've been working WAYYYYY too much.

My job I spend half of the time working in the main pharmacy. We fill all of the medicines for everyone in the hospital, so I put what the doctors order into the computer. I check and make sure all of the IVs are being made correctly and that everything gets up to the floor for the nurses.

The other half of the time, I am up on the floors looking at charts, making sure people are getting the right antibiotics, and adjusting people's meds based on their age and kidney function. Usually people have to spend more time in post graduate training to do that, so it's exciting that I get to work on the floors as part of my job!! It also means that I have a lot to learn! The last two weeks I was up on the floors by myself for the first time. My coworkers are good at helping me, but I am sooooo sleepy.

We have a family practice residency program, and normally there is a pharmacist dedicated to helping them with their patients. She was gone this week, so I got a lot of extra questions from the resident doctors! (Unfortunately my favorite cute resident wasn't on service AND he has a girlfriend. booooooo!) I'm off this weekend, and I'm so glad to have a break!!

Christmas was great. I got a new TV and one of these:




I didn't ask for a Wii, so I'm really excited. Right now I have Paper Mario. Let me know if you know of any fun games! I want to get a few extra controllers and a fun multiplayer game. There's a Mario baseball game that looks fun.

I also ordered myself a Christmas present:


If you use the coupon code HOLIDAY on kiehls.com, you get $20 off right now. There's also free shipping over $50, so I ordered myself the liter bottle of Creme De Corps. EEEEEEEK. splurge :-)

I also got myself an OPI gift set at ULTA with mini bottles of their most popular colors!



I probably should end my beauty shopping spree soon!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. HAPPY NEW YEARS!

How You Know It's Been a Good Day . . .

                  Me: Hi Dr. Intensivist, are you having a good day?
Dr. Intensivist: Good day. Steady day. Sending a bunch of people home. No one's going home in a box.
                         Good day.

Facebook

Darn. Not only does he have a facebook, but he likes scuba diving and his grandma and generally being awesome. Anddddddd there are no girls in his profile pictures. Just pictures of him being awesome.

I will not friend the cute resident . . .
I will not friend the cute resident . . .
I will pay attention to my patients and not the cute resident . . .
I will not friend the cute resident . . .
I will do my work instead of daydreaming about the cute resident . . .

This could be lots of trouble.

Computer

Hello Everyone!

SO, this week my old college computer died. Everyone in my class got a computer, and mine was my companion for four long years.

I went a long while without a computer, and I ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad. After two friends looked at the old college HP, I thought my computer was beyond repair.

My friend Ryne finally fixed the Butler computer today, and the Lenovo shipped today.

Isn't that how it always goes?

Hairspray

Hello everyone!

Today I went and got my haircut. I've been on a mission in order to find a new place at Indy to get my hair done. I get my hair cut and colored, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. One of my friends said she's spent $80 on a haircut before (!!). Since I used to pay twenty back home, that sounded like way too much for me!

The first place I went and tried was Mode salon.

It was a nice little salon, and the lady gave me a cute cut. When I went back and got highlights, she charged me extra for having thick hair. In the end, I was charged $30 more than I was originally quoted! It bothered me. When I told my friend Kat about it, she recommended Renee at Hairspray salon.

I liked Hairspray better! First off, they charged me the price they quoted me ($91 for a cut and partial highlights- cheaper than the first salon and about the same as home). Renee was also a lot faster than other my salon at home and Mode. My lady at home just got her own salon, and she didn't hire a receptionist. She kept on leaving my hair to answer the phone and ended up leaving my color on too long. It was awful. It took her 3 hours to do my hair, and she freaked out that my color would be too blonde. The other Indianapolis salon also took awhile. They didn't have a receptionist either, so I was worried the same thing would happen to me.

Second, Hairspray is an Aveda concept salon. Everything smells so good. The shampoo includes a complimentary scalp massage. While I was waiting for my color, I got a free hand massage. It was really fun. I am going to go back.

This all leaves me with one big question: How much do you tip your hairdresser?!?! I always feel like I tip too much or not enough!

My next post will be about the Liebster blog awards! I'll have to post some pictures of my haircut too. It's not too much different- I just love how much lighter my thick hair is after I have it cut. I'm looking forward to being able to blow dry it faster.

My Newest Purchase

I decided I needed a bigger bag for work. I was just going to go to Target because they have some really cute bags, but my friend talked me into this little beauty!

:-)

Work has been going well. This week I have been sick with a cold, so I've been sleeping all of the time! I'm starting to feel better, but I'm still not 100% Tomorrow I'm going back home to see my parents and my puppies!

I have been working off and on in the cancer center making chemo. I think they've gone out of their way to make me feel welcome there. I like it. There are just so many drugs that I know almost nothing about!

I just got my October schedule, and I'm off for Homecoming weekend and Halloween weekend. SCORE!
