Ammendment

To make an ammendment to the last post.....there are some people that I love to talk to. Sometimes we talk to much and the evening has to be cut short. But that post was more about people who force small talk because they are uncomfortable without talking. I think that is what I dislike the most about having to talk.

There are some people who just can't get me to shut up. I just feel that conversation is probably one of the most important things in any relationship. If you can't have a good one with a person you might as well just give it up cause it isn't going to get any better with that person.

Talking

Okay so most of you know that I am not a talker. I use economy with my language skills. I try not to always be talking. I don't think it is always necessary to banter with people, IE: coworkers, strangers in line, people that you don't know or have anything in common with, tellers, clerks, any of the above and/or sales persons.

It is like that talking heads song "say something once why say it again.....you're talking a lot but you're not saying anything...my lips are sealed" it goes on but why bore you. I just feel that if we don't have much in common or I have already been talking to you about lots and lots of things it is okay to just not talk. Don't try to drum up some random convo....and if I don't jive with it don't say something dumb like...."well there goes the small talk." Believe me I just think you are being a big ass.

I know talking is good and good communication is even better....but for the love of god try to just chill and not open your mouth because you can't stand to let you brain think and ponder. Let others enjoy the silence. Or not just don't expect me to stay in the room much longer.

yeah

so I rode my bke again today. I realized that I like to ride my bike probably more than I like tequila.

You get the same warm burning feeling when you partake in the activity. You get all smiley and happy just after....and yet I don't have to deal with a hang over after biking. Sounds just great doesn't it.

SNAPS

Okay for most of you snapping means a little something different. If you were a tri-delta memeber it is something of note has just happened (simillar to claps) . Little kids just think it is cool. For some it is showing a little attitude.



Someone, a patients mom, snapped at me yesterday. Seriously. She snapped at me. Told me that I couldn't take her daughter any where until she had pain meds. I am all for people get pain meds....especially little kids that are hurt. But who the hell snaps at someone and demands something.



This pink tank top, biker boot wearing mother snaps that is who. She was really lucky that I had enough energy left to just walk away and make the nurse go get the meds. I mean people think that ordering someone around might get the ahead...like they have authority. Authority over me. Um No.



I don't want anyone to think that I didn't want this little girl to have her meds....I totally did. She was in pain. But if you listen to who I am....I can not give meds I don't have anywhere near that authority. If you want me to help you get it taken care of speak nicely to me and I won't be a mean person too you. The mom gave me the stink eye the rest of the time.



I wanted to take this mother aside and say pay attention to how other people act when you are nice and when you are "snapping" at them and see how different a response you get from them. You might be amazed. Oh yeah and give your daughter a bath. The room where we took her x-rays stunk even after she had been out of it for 5 minutes.



I really do like my job. I just have a hard time with how people treat other people. I am getting over it though. I am not hardening but just learning to look past peoples
