Mary, it's me, don't you know me?

"Yep, you'll probably get about a buck fifty."
-My Dad--Best use of a slang term, July 2006

Alright then readers. New week new gig. This one in a library.

"You broke up with him, and never dated again."
"Think the inverse of Mary's fate without George in It's a Wonderful Life-that's what happened to me."
-Me and Mum-Best explanation of my criminal record, July 2006

Not enough hours-but I'll tough it out and work hoping for a full time position to open up. Or, if things go on enough-then I'll look for a morning job a couple of days a week. I don't need a lot to get by-but I need to be able to afford my rock'n'roll lifestyle. The job is what I'm into-books and all that jazz. Lower stress than the last assignment. A nice blend of solitary and interactive work. We'll see-it's convenient and it's something better than nothing.

The only drawback is that I have to work 'til 7 on Tuesdays. My precious House time! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I might have to learn how to set my VCR to record. The horrors of missing the collapse of the patient of the week cannot be expressed in words. (That's about all I'd miss-the branch is only 10 minues away) I will explain this emotional trauma using this word that I will make up as I type it horrifictroubitarnation. Oh-and Radiohead t-shirts or anything else from my awesome collection of rock tees are not allowed. But tennis shoes are-happy happy joy joy.

My aunt is not recovering at the preferred rate-but she's not not recovering. It is juts FAR too slow. There is some infection-probably caused by an abscessed tooth. I asked Mum if she had marvelled at how much information we had because of medical dramas.
"Are you thinking about House?" she asked.
Other than how I am always thinking about House when I'm not thinking about Stephen Colbert or Eddie Izzard or myself? "Not just that-ER or even MASH. We just know these terms and procedures. We have expectations. It's a bit odd when you think about it. We can get on the Internet and research any possible medical ailment. It's fascinating, really. What would it have been like to go to the doctor before we had all of these options."
"I was-I just keep seeing the infection zipping through her bloodstream," said Mum.
"Well, yeh, that too. Tho I try to keep House from my thoughts when it comes to people I care about. It's a thing I do."
