Working, Pinatas, and Men

This'll be short since I ought to be asleep but I feel like a lot has been going on and I've failed at keeping updated on here so... I'll type quick.

Work is still fantastic although I really am excited for the updated computer systems since the programs they are using haven't been updated in 6 years. I guess they've been waiting to get this program Soft installed for that long so they stopped getting updates and as a result everything done to result patients is a hassle. Fortunately it'll be gone in a month so then things will hopefully be a little less archaic. They do have some fancy technology like this microscope set up so 4 people can look at the same slide at the same time (I kind of want one for myself...). I've been having fun looking at slides from such variety of patients and learning all of the new tests I'll be required to know by the time my training is through.

So there was a service auction in my ward last night and I decided on a whim to auction of a giant pinata. My old roommate Mandy made one once and I paused and thought "Hey, I could do that". Turns out it'll be a lot more work than I initially thought. My GPS took me on a wild goose chase but I eventually found a party store and got a HUGE balloon. Then I started added paste and paper. So far I've only got about 3 done and it'll need tons more before I'm convinced its actually stable enough to pop the balloon on the inside and decorate. It'll be epic though. After its done I can check off bucket list item #97.

As for men... I thought I'd get a LITTLE bit of a break but no, they will pursue... Even just tonight I went to the gas station and some guy spent about a half hour just talking to me and wanted my number. I guess I should be flattered. Even if I'm not particularly interested in the gas station mystery man, I am happy with the overall male population here in AZ, particularly in my ward. There are a few guys that I feel like I'd be excited about going out with. Maybe the novelty will wear off and I certainly won't move fast with anything... But having the hope of something is enough to brighten my spirits.

Off to bed with me. Hopefully I'll have sweet dreams. Something like that dream I had of dancing in the trees with a white ninja... That was a good dream.

  1. The goal really isn't to get away from men, right Jill? The goal is to find a way to the right man. I'm crossing my fingers for an Arizona love for Jill. And of course the men are still pursuing you. You're irresistible. Didn't you know?

  2. I'll have to brush off and throw on my irresistible face then. ;/ I really am fine with the guys its just a matter of me not enjoying the dating "game" as I have to be coy amongst certain men and discrete with others in order for the guy to take his role and pursue. I suppose I could dig out my old copy of "The Rules" but its lost in one of my many boxes scattered about the apartment...
