So here I am at work. The boss is out of town for the next three days. Guess how much work I'm going to be doing in said three days? Not a whole hell of a lot! That's right, I'm going to be a total slacker while he's gone, and I refuse to feel guilty about it :).
My friends joined me again in class last night. They were four weeks behind me, but ended up coming in 5 weeks behind me because this school is so damn disorganized. I showed them the ropes a little, and told them some of the more important things that they needed to know. My teacher caught wind of this and told me he was proud of me. Yay :)! How juvenile am I to still be so giddy over praise? Tonight, I'm teaching them how to do their first procedure. I'm kind of happy that my teacher asked me to do it; I take it as a sign that despite the fact he thinks I don't study, he does think I'm capable. Works for me :).
Speaking of capable, I have a procedure coming up tomorrow. Ack, I just did one last week! It'll be good to get it out of the way though; I'll just be done with everything that much sooner. I just get so nervous when it's my turn, and I'm generally more nervous with the setup than I am with the actual procedure, because I want to make sure that I set everything up correctly. I just need to learn to relax, and not let the teacher get to me.
So Steve booked his conference in Reno. I'm going to be home alone for four nights, maybe five. This actually terrifies the crap out of me, as I hate being home alone at night. I could go stay with my parents or something, but I need to take care of my animals, so I can't really be away from the house. Steve suggested having someone stay with me, but I don't know who could. We live too far from everyone, so it would create a hellish commute for them, and I don't want to inconvenience anyone like that. We thought about having me go with him, but that's the week before I leave this job, and two weeks before I leave school. I need to be around for both of those things. It's times like this that I wish I had a rabid pit bull trained to attack :).
