Is there anything more annoying than waking up at 4:45 to go to an ambulance rotation starting at 6, only to arrive and discover that your clinical coordinator gave you the wrong date and your rotation is actually tomorrow? Oh oh, I know, how about Houston traffic when you're trying to get back into the city at 6am, and Houston drivers are being their normal stupid-ass selves, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding as to how freeways work. Honestly, is it so hard to be going freeway speed by the time you actually get to the freeway? (No, 45 mph does NOT count.) And then people slow down for absolutely no reason whatsoever, or even STOP COMPLETELY ON THE FREEWAY. Now, I know that there is science to it, that cars on a freeway actually act like molecules in fluid, and that there was probably something that happened half an hour earlier whose ripple effect was still being felt...except then we'll get back up to normal speed and everything spreads out, proving that there is actually plenty of space for everyone, and there was no need to slow down in the first place.
Oh wait, annoying things? How about a complete and utter lack of music on the radio at 6am? Well, I guess that's not so bad...Houston DJ's are bit more entertaining and less annoying than Portland ones (though not Nelson; well, he's not annoying anyway).
I'm not even in that bad of a mood...though now my gas tank is empty again. And I have to wake up at 4:45 again tomorrow (Oh boo hoo! Welcome to the real world! Some of us do this for a living!) (You know what? Shut up! Doesn't change the fact that its #!@&*$%@^!ing early!).
Yeah, so, back to bed for me, at least for a little while...I've got pictures of a finally finished and clean room that I plan to put up later today...and other news as well. I believe I have arrived...now I just need another job or two!
...good morning, the time is 6:57 am...
