playin' catch up

Quite a lot has happened since I last updated. As I said in my last post, Eric's sister Kristen was in town last week visiting. She got in Tuesday night and left Sunday morning and our week was jam-packed in between and it was a rip-roaring good time. I would extrapolate, but I'll bet Eric wants to post about it on our shared blog, so I'll let him do the honors.

In other news, I'm exhausted. We went nonstop from Wednesday until this very moment (almost). This is literally the first moment I've had to just sit and do nothing (besides post to my blog). I can't decide if I'm just extremely overwraught or if I'm getting sick. Eric is at trivia right now, but I just couldn't make it. Nothing sounded better to me tonight than sitting on the couch (currently watching Gilmore Girls) with the cats.

I can't decide if I completely hate my job or if I just...don't like it. A thin line, I know, but there is a line. I don't think I've had a single job that I've liked in my entire life...waiting tables was ok, but that was more the people I worked with that made it good, not the job itself. Anyways, my point is that it would be normal for me to dislike my job, that seems to be a trend in my life. It would not, however, be normal for me to sit complacently in a job that I absolutely loathe. I don't like the girl that I work with. She and I had an argument today about the HPV vaccination. She was appalled to learn that it exists. She was like "But it's a sexually transmitted disease, EW!!!!" I don't really see how that's an argument so I said "It's not like it gives people a free pass to have all the sex they want, there are still other diseases...are you a Republican?" I have no idea why anyone (besides our own government) would be against protecting women from a cancer-causing virus. How would that ever ever be a bad thing? Also, when she gets upset over something (which happens at least 3-4 times a week and lasts the entire day) she flips the hell out and starts sighing really loudly and throwing stuff around like a two year old. Then on top of that, there's my boss. He is a pretty good guy overall, but there are just tons of little things about him that I can't stand. Both he and Deirdre (the Republican) are super-anal and I am very much not. I just feel like I don't fit in there, mostly because I don't. So my question is, is that enough for me to start looking elsewhere? The pay is okay (not great) and I really do enjoy being treated there. The doc does know what he's doing, I'll give him that. But I know this isn't going anywhere for me. I plan to be in school this time next year and there's no reason (besides the hell that is job-searching) for me to stick around in a job that I hate.

So that's what's going on in my mind.
