Things That Drive Me Insane-Idiot Drivers Part 2
I haven’t written one of these posts in a few months and it is time for another one. The very first one of these posts I wrote was about idiot drivers and this is going to be part 2 because I have seen some real winners lately. Usually once it warms up here the drivers get better but this year they have gotten 10 times worse. I am not sure where to even start with this post because there are so many things that are driving me insane lately.
I am going to start with the most shocking one first because well I am still floored by it. I was on my way to work in the morning and I saw a woman curling her hair with a curling iron as she was driving. Even as I am writing this I am still in shock and the best part was that I then saw her the next week doing the same thing!
Who in the hell does that while they are driving???? The longer I think about this the more crazy it gets because in order for her to able to do that she had to get a power inverter. Which shows that she “thought” through this idea. I told one of the guys I work with about it and he brought up the point what will happen when she drops the hot curling iron because we all know that when you drop something hot while driving it always seems to end up in your crotch.
The next thing that is driving me insane is when people decide to make their own damn lanes while they are driving. I can’t even count how many times I have seen this in the past week alone. I was looking back that the first post I did about idiot drivers and this was the comment that was left on that post: (this is only part of the comment)
…my personal favorite is when there’s heavy traffic and someone doesnt’ want to wait anymore on the freeway. So they just pull into the shoulder and drive along at 55 mph or so like it’s their own personal lane. Of course, one day they’re gonna plow into someone who’s stuck there with a flat, or pop their own tire on the nails and junk in that lane… idiots.
I can’t wait to watch some idiot who makes their own lane get in a major accident because they think they can do whatever they want. It would also be great see them plow into a cop car that has someone pulled over. I get so pissed off when I am stuck in traffic and I watch people making their own lanes and then having to get in front of me. I want to yell at the and tell them to get in line. I mean I learned in elementary school get in line and “no butting” in. I have noticed though that people riding motorcycles are probably the worst when it comes to making their own lane and thinking them can do whatever they want.
I was going to write about one other thing but I think I am going to save that until next time so there will be a part 3 of idiot drivers. Who knew I could find so many things that people do while driving that would bug the hell out of me. I guess it comes with driving to and from work for almost 6 years.
What do drivers do that drive you insane???

A millennia-long war between two immortal races is about to come to an end. Long ago, the Vampire Elite began capturing the immortals called the Amiti, attracted by their unique blood properties. Now most Amiti live in underground cells, forced to serve as vampires’ bloodstock. The few surviving free Amiti, preparing a final strike, have declared their Queen a traitor. Her execution makes possible the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna, who will inherit her mother’s mystical powers. Working with the Keepers of the Key, Arianna may be able to eliminate the vampires, once and for all, from the face of the earth.
The new Queen is the last hope to save her dying race and she’s ready to fight to the last drop of her blood.

Meet VE Character: Arianna, Queen of the Amiti and Keeper of the Mystery of Balance
Arianna becomes the Amiti Queen as an infant, following the execution of her mother. Along with the title, she also inherits all of the Queen’s powers, including the role of Keeper of the Mystery of Balance as well as the Gift of Ra, a power bestowed by the Sun God himself to help her protect herself and her people. Sheltered by her father as a child, Arianna finds herself thrust into a world of danger and intrigue when he is murdered and she must confront the fact that her race’s destiny depends on her. Despite how overwhelming it can be, Arianna ultimately embraces her life’s mission: to free her people from their enslavement by the Vampire Elite by any means necessary. But along the way she encounters an unexpected and seemingly unmanageable challenge—the charismatic and powerful vampire King Tor, who takes her on an emotional and sensual journey that makes her question her very destiny. Will the young Queen have the willpower and inner strength to fulfill her purpose and save her people, even if it means destroying the man she loves?

I wanted only the best for the characters and I was glad when in the end everything worked out just how I hoped it would. I can’t wait to check out more of the books in this series.

Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer
“Stealing the Preacher” by Karen Witemeyer was a super cute and a fun read. From the first page of this book I was hooked and didn’t put it down until I finished reading it. It has a unique storyline and that made me like it even more. The book starts by following Crockett as he is on his way to try out for a preaching job. While he is on the train it gets held up and they “kidnap” him because Joanna told her dad that she wanted a preacher for her birthday. There are times where I had to laugh at what was going on and other times where I was sad for the characters. This is the first book I have read from this author and I honestly can’t wait to read more. I love how I felt like I was there with the characters.

He’s determined to escape-which would be much easier if he could stop thinking about Joanna Robbins and her unexpected request.
For months, Joanna had prayed for a minister. A man to breathe life back into the abandoned church at the heart of her community. A man to assist her in fulfilling a promise to her dying mother. But just when it seems her prayers have been answered, it turns out the parson is there against his will and has dreams of his own calling him elsewhere. Is there any way she can convince Crockett he ended up right where he was supposed to be?

I Quit!!!!
When I saw that this was one of the posts for this weeks Writers Workshop I wanted to write about it even though I am having to post it a day early. I am going to write about 4 which is tell us about a job you quit…why did you do it. I am going to talk about when I quit my last job before I got hired on where I am at now.
As most of you know that I wanted to be a nurse and one of the things I had to do in order to become a nurse was become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Once I got my certification I had to work as a CNA in order to keep the certification. I had a few other jobs as a CNA before I ended up at the last place I worked at. Once I got to that place is when I really fell in love with the job and the residents at the home. Before that I could have walked away from being a CNA because it wasn’t something that I could have seen myself doing long term.
Anyway back to the story, I worked there for about 2 years and loved everyday of it until about the last 6 months. I hurt my back while I worked there and that was the beginning of the end for me. After I hurt my back the workmen’s compensation doctor put me light duty and after you are on “light duty” for 6 months or something like that they make you take a leave of absence. Now let me say that even though I was on “light duty” and “couldn’t” lift anything over 25 pounds I was still expect to do everything including the lifting. Because of that and the fact that there were never enough people working my back never got better.
So when they put me on a leave of absence without any notice I was in total shock. I went home and tried to get ahold of my doctor so that he could change the order and I could go back to work. The only way he would change the order was if I moved off the floor working in patient care and moved into an office type job. When I talked to my supervisor about this he said that there was a job for me and once they got the new order that I could come back to work.
Well when they did get the order the job I had been promised wasn’t there and the only job was for me to go back working on the floor. When I got that call I was pissed off and angry and I had to tell them well then I guess I can’t come back because I can’t work on the floor with my back like it is.
To this day the whole situation really pisses me off because I loved that job and I would still be there if I hadn’t gotten hurt. I am not even going to talk about how I got hurt because that is another whole post. To this day my back still hurts everyday so I am totally considering getting my certification again and going to back to at a different facility because I love the job and since I am in pain everyday why not go back!
Anyways that is my story on why I quit my last job as a CNA.
Why did you quit your job and would you do it again?
