So I love my job. Yes I do. I get to draw lots of blood, help with all sorts of spiffy procedures and there is -0- stress except for 'When the hell is that office going to fax those records we need?' heh. I've assisted with a biopsy that was actually very cool to watch, I've cleaned and dressed a leg burn with second and third degree burns, packed wounds, EKGs, helped cast a broken finger (but the woman was a pain in the ass and wanted it removed, so we splinted it, she took that off and ended up with a finger brace, all for a break on the pinky, LOL!!!) erm, anyway. I'm doing what I wanted to do. Plus I was asked to look into classes for certification, all paid for :) I still manage script calls, phone triage, referrals and oodles of paperwork. I stay busy but I'm not stressed. It's great.
Cara didn't make the first All Stars try outs. The coach was a butt anyway. Six girls didn't have to show up for try outs, they 'already made the team' because they were coaches daughters. Another coach approached Cara yesterday and told her to be at the ball diamond Sunday for try outs. Just when I thought we were home free... hehe. She's awesome though. The first coach didn't even try her out as catcher or at second base, he kept her in left field. She smacked 7/10 balls pitched to her even. The second coach has been at her last three games, watching her and a couple of the other girls that didn't make the first team. She's really awesome as catcher. The only balls that get by her are either over the ump's head or too far left/right to get. She jumps for them though :) And man can she throw!
Taylor is on the All Stars for her age group. They had a car wash to raise money for one of the tournaments. All Stars games are multiple games held on the same day, sometimes the entire weekend, considered tournaments, similar to the end of season games for regular softball club. It's exhausting. Cara, Courtney and I went to help with the car wash. I ended up with a rather nice tan ^.^ and they raised enough money for the first tournament. I already bought a huge tote bag and cooler to carry Gatorade and all the amenities around. Court has a crush on Taylor's head coach too, and one of the umps for Cara's games. She kept making comments about his cute butt etc at the games and I warned her that he could hear her, she denied it. But when Taylor asked me a technical question the ump answered her. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at how red the girls were. It was a riot! But they get even.
The assistant coach for Cara's team has a thing for me, ugh. He's like... not all there. It annoys me. When Steph and Cara both have a game at the diamonds next to each other I sit between them in my handy dandy 'soccer mom' chair. He coaches third base and usually has his back to me. He spins around now and then. Yeah, cheesy. He doesn't do that when Steph doesn't have a game and I'm sitting by the fence, in his line of sight from third base. Courtney thinks it's hilarious, I'm not amused. She sits there making comments, knowing he can hear her. I should push her over in her chair. He called me today while I was at work, to tell me about the tournament beginning tomorrow even though he already told us at the game yesterday. The conversation ended up being 15 minutes long. I got to hear about his surgery and complaint he's filing on the ump from the last game. Egads. What makes this even more funny is that another mom from the team has a thing for him. He's not biting though. Bleh. She asked him to go with her and her daughter to pick out a bat. She and I were chatting at a game one day and she's going on about him, I had to fight back my snickering, seriously. He's just... ew. And she has too many hormones going on to be humping after that thing. She's evidently going through a divorce with hubby #2, uh I think it's #2, at least, maybe more? I know it's the girl's step-father, lol. She commented that he (the coach dude) would have to take her daughter to the All Stars games. Odd, considering he's not a coach of that team and doesn't even have any kids. He's just helping with this team because his sister is the coach and her daughter is on the team. It's like she's already planning their relationship, just that he doesn't know it yet *nodnod* Now if only we can make him aware that he's involved with this woman so he'll leave me alone...
With All Stars looming over me, this means pushing my vacation back. Maybe over winter break. Two weeks in Sunnyville sounds good while everyone is caked in snow up here. Oh and did anyone see God's son walking around on 6/6/06 or maybe Satan? *rofl* A church up in Indy had this thing on their marquee about Armageddon or some shit, 'Are you ready?' and such with the date. It was up for the past month. I'm anxious to get up there and see what they have now. 'Um, oops?' Mom asked me a stupid question the other day. She asked what I thought about that movie, The Da Vinci Code. She commented that the Pope banned the movie and she wasn't sure she wanted to see it, that it wasn't up to us to decide what happened with Jesus. I held back my laughter and said "Wow, a ban. That coming from the guy that denies the scrolls of his own Savior. Well, doesn't mean much to me. The movie is conjecture, for entertainment purposes. And this ban is no different than any ban by the vatican on something for being controversial, it was expected. I'd rather think for myself and enjoy a good movie. Just because I watch it, doesn't mean I have to believe it. I don't believe in the boogieman but the idea of it made a good movie." She just shrugged and left the house, saying she didn't know. There was a subtle hint in there, but she obviously didn't get it ^.^ Oh and she evidently enjoys telling people I'm a witch now. She's either finally accepted it after all these years or is trying to embarrass me? I haven't figured it out. I'm not embarassed, but it should be my decision who I tell. When Court and I were at the clinic, Mom and Peggy were having this religious thing. Peggy isn't religious at all and Mom just threw it out there that I'm a Wiccan. Kudos to Peggy though, she shrugged it off like it was nothing. I like her already.
Bedtime. Have to be up and at the diamond in six hours for a double header. I'll be sucking down some cappuccino for this one.
Addendum: Oh shit. Today (Saturday) after the game, the assistant coach (dude with a crush) decided to treat the girls to DQ since they won their first game of the tournament. Sweet of him. So we all went. They ate outside and Cara pouted at Taylor and me to go out with them so we finally did, but sat at a table away from the team. Winky comes up and asks if Cara and I will be at try outs tomorrow for the second All Stars team. I almost fell off my seat. He and his sister are coaching it, the guy that asked Cara the other day did so on his behalf evidently. Eh. So I said yes, but that her father will probably have to take her since I'll be out of town. He then pulled this sort of fishing line that he'd asked some of the girls who they would rather have coaching them: The other guy or him and his sister. Before I knew it I'd spouted that I would prefer him and his sister. Bleh. Stupid. Now he probably thinks he has a shot. Dumb ass me. I quickly explained why I felt that way: The other coach is a penis wrinkle, but with censored words among the minors ^.^ Of course, Taylor got a huge kick out of the entire scene and when we got home so did Courtney when she found out. Joy. I get to spend all day every Saturday and Sunday the rest of the summer with this guy. I hope the horny mom works fast and sacks this guy :P
