Fated Strife

Current Mood: Sick & Sleepy

Well not been much to write about lately. I’ve been turned down for a few of those jobs I’ve applied for at the hospital. I’ve been applying for others as I get turned town so hopefully one of them will be it. The OR has an open PCT position again that I’ve applied for and will hopefully get.

I’ve had some time lately to play some games in my collection. First off, Megaman X Collection. This game allows you to play Megaman X1-6 and some unlockable content as well. I’ve mainly been playing X4-X6, completed X5, working on X6 still and X4 I’m playing on both the collection disc and on the original game.

Then I figured I’d try out Megaman X7, they tried to do the whole 3D deal with it but I personally think it didn’t work out too well. The lack of camera control really hurts, and changing from side scrolling to top view, etc is a bit annoying at times. I’d suggest at least trying to game out as you may like it. Megaman X8 looks interesting as well, I plan to pick it up sometime soon and give it a try.

Gave Kiki and his cage a good cleaning today. He ended up pooping in the cage once today but the other few times got to his litter area it looks like. He’s getting pretty old, 9 years maybe? I think the outside bath got him a bit chilled and disorientated, but he seems to be eating and drinking more now.

Thomas came over this evening and we just watched a few Cops episodes and went to Wal-Mart. They happen to be remodeling the store so the parts we need to get to end up being closed off. Makes for an interesting adventure.

I believe thats all for tonight.

Well today has been dull for the most part.
Unfortunately one of the 6 PCT jobs I have applied for has been rejected. I’m really hoping to get one of the other 5. One of the things I don’t like about the application system the hospital uses is that it doesn’t list which specific job you applied for. So I have a ton of Patent Care Tech jobs on my list but it doesn’t list in which department or other info that would be helpful. It leaves me curious as to which specific position I applied for that I didn’t get. So if any HR folks are reading this, it might be something to consider (along with hiring me).

Today I had a pretty bad migraine, was a 6 or 7 on the pain scale. I was unable to keep down the promethazine and oxycodone so ended up having to get an injection. The nausea has went away so was able to keep a little bit of drink down. The pain was reduced down to a 4 or so I guess. The migraine is still hanging around but not much pain with it.

They’re doing some construction at the ED, basically the ED is being extended so the normal entrance is closed and there’s a lot of construction noise. Hearing people hammer and such right next to you with a migraine is not fun.

I was able to talk to Cory some today, but hasn’t responded in awhile so guess he’s caught up in FFXI or passed out or something now.

An all new House comes on tonight, I can’t wait to watch it. Unfortunately my TiVo service isn’t active at the moment due to me having no money to pay for it, thus preventing me from being able to record the show (or any others for that fact). I also lose the guide function when service is inactive so I can’t even see whats on without either turning to the TV Guide channel to watch an hour long list of channels I don’t get just to find something on one of the ones I do get, or going to the TV Guide site to look.

I think that’s it for now.

Current Mood: Happy & Sleepy

Well, the past few weeks have been mostly boring as they tend to be. I setup a WoW server so Cory and myself could play on it, having great fun with all the GM powers. Finally got his Christmas present sent out to him, should be there today (Friday).

Angel and I finally got to talk yesterday for a few minutes, hadn’t heard from him in 2 weeks so was nice that we got to talk at least.

I will be placing an application for Police Officer with our city shortly. I’ve been thinking about it and even though medicine is something I love, I’ve loved the police deal much longer. Plus the time and money it would take to become an MD is just too much right now. I’ve contacted one of the former officers I know about a reference and with some questions about the hiring process. I am waiting for another longtime friend officer to return my call. I’m going to put all my effort into getting the job. I just would like a clear rundown on what the process is like so I can better prepare. I know one part requires a number of push/sit-ups and then running a mile all within 12 minutes. I can do the *ups but I’m not sure yet on the mile but I could probably do that but wouldn’t hurt to train a bit before as Angel mentioned.

Guess we’ll see in the following months how this is going. Really want to make it.

Watched House on Sunday but my TiVo only got part of it since it recorded 23 minutes early. Actually.. it recorded on time, the post game crap ran late and made me lose the last 30 minutes or so of the show. From what I saw though it seemed pretty good. Tuesday’s episodes was quite interesting, mainly the character’s stories. The POTW case was pretty interesting as well.

I also added the 7th Legion and Hawkbat Battalion clones to my collection. Pics soon.

That is all.

Current Mood: Angry

Well today was okay.

I woke up around 12 for some reason though my alarm was blaring beside me to see that angel had said something in FFXI chat thing. I felt devastated thinking I had missed him but I saw he was still in the room but was afk. So we did get to talk, albeit not for long but was glad to be able to talk to him. Had been over a week since we last talked. I really hope things get better to where we can talk more often than we have.

I talked to Cory for a bit this afternoon which was fun.

Got to goto the Circuit City and pickup SAW IV, it was an interesting movie. But this is where the bad starts. Midway through the movie it starts skipping or freezing, or both. Not consistently but always when things are getting good it does it. I hope it was just the disc and not my xbox 360 doing that.

I was preparing for sleep and was giving my glasses an adjustment when the top piece on the right side broke. I usually have kept two pairs in the event of this happening again. Unfortunately, this was my backup pair. So now, I have superglue poorly holding the lens to the sides and top and now I have to go to the eye doctor tomorrow sometime to get a replacement ordered. Probably new frames too cause they wont be able to get these frames again since they’re pretty old.

I’ve been reading “Darth Bane: Path of Darkness” it’s a good book thus far and I recommend if you like those books or Star Wars at all to pick it up and read it.

Now to bed so I wont be late to awake in the morning.

Current Mood: Sick

Well I went to see Dr. Sullivan on Tuesday. They moved the offices that the NPs work in to a few doors down, the entire building is being renovated and this new office they’re in is nice. Hardwood flooring, more room (this was a problem in their old office cause there was only 5 or so chairs in there, now there’s a dozen or so), just generally more area for work to be done and all that.

Anyway, they are doing some more blood work and I have an endoscopy (EGD) setup on January 7th at 6:30am (I only do these at 5-6am unless no openings are available for awhile). Hopefully we can find something, if not at least I’ll get some coagulation and dilation done so that should help with the reflux and swallowing problems.

Not heard from Angel yet, was hoping he’d get on today before school but he didn’t, maybe he’ll get on tomorrow for a minute since his hospital stuff starts later in the evening. Friday he’s doing another ambulance ride along supposedly so I’m really hoping Saturday he’ll be on and somethings can go back to normal.

I picked up the new FFXI expansion, Wings of the Goddess on Tuesday. It was a pretty quick install, and only 2 updates and was ready to go. I finally got to work on some quests last night with Cory but he had to leave while we were working on a job quest. We got back to that today and got Dancer unlocked, working on Scholar and a mission quest but he went AFK and then disconnected so maybe tomorrow. The new story is, well lacking at this point but I’m sure an update will be out soon to add more to it. Running back and forth to the past is a pain cause you can only go back to the past at the same location you went to the present from. Also no chocobo use there either yet, but I think we’ll be getting those soon.

Not much else going on, adult swim is playing the rest of the Shin Chan episodes to finish season 1 so been TiVoing that and such to watch. Not much on TV anymore, at least not on basic cable.

I added a mood thing to the blog so now my mood displays at the top of the posts now. I have a ton of various moods I need to add but got the basics. I’m planning on a new look for my blog soon too. This might help the slow problem and can have some fresh code to start with.

I think that’s all for now, no wait.. The Square-Enix online store has a FFXI category now!! I really want the baby Chocobo plush, the nation rings are really nice too, maybe I can get one sometime.

Thats all.
