Work – The World As I See It

Best Thinking. . .

January 8, 2014

I got the idea for this post from the blog Daily Post and the topic is:

When and where do you do your best thinking? In the bathroom? While running? Just before bed, or first thing in the morning? On the bus? Why do you think that is?

I chose this prompt because everyone has different places where they do their best thinking and I think it would be fun to find out where other people feel that they do their best thinking. I have to be honest this post took me awhile to write because I wasn’t really sure where I did my best thinking until I stopped and really thought about it.

After thinking about it I came to see that I do my best thinking at night when I am should be sleeping which is probably one of the many reasons that I can’t sleep. The minute I lay down my head starts going and I always get such great ideas for blog posts or other things I want/need to do.

I also find that for some reason I write the best blog posts while I am on my lunch break at work. I am sure that is because my brain is already in work mode so it is easy to switch from doing work and writing a blog post pretty easily. I am also lucky that my job doesn’t mind that I blog as long as all my work is done.

So that is when I do my best thinking. When and where do you do your best thinking?

Two Faced-People – Things That Drive Me Insane

March 20, 2013

So this week the thing that has driven me insane are two-faced people. I am so tired of people who will say one thing to your face and then turn around and say or do something that goes against what they said to your face. I have been at my current job of years now and lets just say I deal on a daily basis with people like this and I am reaching my limit with this kind of stuff.

The industry that I work in being two-faced is pretty common and I will never understand why people can’t just say to my face what they are thinking about what they are saying behind my back. I was on Facebook a few weeks ago and I saw this saying and I loved it!

This is how I am feeling about how things are at my job. I have really reached my limit but I don’t think there is anything that I can really do about it. It just amazes me that the people who I work with act like they are in high school. It is just old and it sucks that the people who are doing it think that I am not smart enough to know what is going on but that is a whole different post.

I guess the point of this post is that I am so tired of people who can’t just be honest and tell me what they think of me while I am standing there.

Day 9-If You Could Have Any Job In The World What Would It Be? #30DayChallenge

February 13, 2013

Today’s topic is if you could have any job in the world what would it be? If I could be anything in the world I would want to be a life flight nurse. I have always want to be a nurse and work in the emergency room. I love the fact that they are always busy and I love everything that they deal with. I still remember when I was in high school and we had a real life flight nurse come into talk in one of my classes and from that class on I knew that is what I wanted to do.

I did start going to school to be a nurse but after I got pregnant and life took over I lost the drive I guess you could say. I still think about being a nurse and going back and finishing school but now I am wondering if that is what I really want to do. I have been thinking a lot about going into social work because I would love to work with girls who are wanting to place their children for adoption but that also has it own set of problems and doubts in my head as well.

When I worked as a CNA I loved the work and I would probably still be doing that kind of work if I didn’t hurt my back and could do the lifting that is required for the job. So as of now I am not sure where I am going but I know I will have it figured out one day!

One Thing That Drives Me Insane-Idiot Drivers

February 6, 2013

Things That Drive Me Insane

I am thinking about starting a new post series about things that drive me insane. I will just post one when something people have done drive me crazy. Today I want to write about idiot drivers. As most of you know I live in Utah and the past few months it has been snowing quite a bit which always makes for interesting drives to and from work. What drives me insane is it is like people forget from one day to the next how to drive in the snow. I also love the idiots that drive big trucks or SUV’s that think they can drive 100 MPH when it is snowing and the roads are icy. It never fails that I see them a little farther down in an accident and I just laugh at them.

You would think after driving in the snow for a few days that people would remember to slow down and not follow so closely but they still drive like total idiots and then always seem to act confused when they get in accidents. I have driven to the job I have now for 6 winters and lets just say that the drivers seem to get worse every year. I have started leaving my house super early because I don’t want to deal with the idiot drivers anymore than I have too.

What do drivers do that piss you off?
