Nice cars, Old women and BAD Driving Skills

So the other day while on my way to meet some friends for lunch, I had two older ladies almost hit me, or should I say run into my car.

The first was pulling out into the street from my place of residence. There is construction going so there is only one lane in the south bond traffic, which is the way that I was going. I had to wait for the light since it was a left hand turn. I went after it turned green and then out of my peripheral vision I see a Lexus cruising toward me. I slam on the brakes. AWWW Shit. She totally ran a read light, seems that getting to walmart quickly is worth almost hurting someone livelihood other than theirs. I honked and then proceeded on my way. I was pissed. Funny thing we were going to the same place. I honked at her as I passed her in the parking lot and then I gave her the bird. If she had actually dared to get out of her car I would have told her how responsible she had just been.

The second was an older lady in a BMW wagon. Totally cut me off trying to get onto the freeway. She moved over into my lane, almost grabbing my bumper as she did this, just outside of the intersection.

Seriously, I know we all want to get somewhere, but for crying out loud cars cause damage. They are made of metal, they hurt, and it is expensive.

What I want to know is if it is just a coincidence that they were both older women with nice cars or if it is in fact because these women are more reckless then needs be. Do they reason that they car drive with little skill or awareness since they have a lot of money and can pay for any damages (human or car)? Or is it that they just could give a shit about anyone else? Or maybe it is just that they might have made it this far through life without much strife and feel that they are impervious to bad things (I think this one pushes it...but I can not remember my exact thoughts of that morning.)

Seriously what do you all think?

By the way I did not name this blog Bombastic Opinions for nothing...if you do not like it do not read it. I am still a nice person even though I do not always think nice thoughts. Come back tomorrow for my feelings on society.

AAHHH work

So for those of you who know me. I have been working (literally) quite hard at getting into nursing school to become a nurse. I took another big step recently. I accepted a job at the University Hospital in SLC. They just started their own program that they will pay for if you commit to working for them for at least 3 years. *&^% Yeah. I don't want to pay for &*(0.

I have been working there for 2 months. I have completed my training. It only took 5.3 weeks. Yikes. Hell yeah. I have been on my own for a few weeks. A couple of grave weeks and one day week.

To be honest with you I thought that I might be in the wrong place. I had some serious doubts about what I have been working toward. I didn't think I could do it. Not one bit.

I have made myself commit to at least six months of doing this. I think you need at least that with any job. You are still learning the first few months how to do it all, then you are getting your routine set, and then you are getting good at it. So I have until December to make it official.

So the week that I thought I was in the wrong place was just a busy week. One shift I didn't get to sit down and eat at all. I had some coffee and fruit snacks half way through my 12 hours. I couldn't think and made no sense at all when talking to patients. I was having night mares about vital signs. AAHHH it was bad.

BUT.... I think this might just be what day shifts are like. Pure shit. I don't like them. I want to work only nights....graves rock hard.

This last week was the best I have had...don't confuse this with me thinking it will be the best ever. There will be more shitty weeks with just as many good/great weeks. Lets hope the good/great out weigh the shit.

I even had a patient shit on me. Seriously. Most terrifying experience ever but definitely made me realize that I am in the right place. I can handle it. I can. Yeah. I may be nervous as you can be....but I can do it.

Since this is so long I will post some amazing stories later on. They are great.
