How To Save A Life
Not fair……………………
Who Screams
When I’m having a particular hard day at work, I like to treat myself with either a Coke Icee (because Cherry is just gross, it’s like drinking cold cough syrup) or some soft serve Ice Cream. And by treating myself, I mean giving my credit card to a tech and making them go to the cafe to get me one of these treats (and one for themselves, on me por supeusto).
What’s That In The Sky
Oh, how I’ve missed you….note that I took this at 8:32 am. I good way to start my day off.
How’s Your Dad
And it is done. He’s like the chocolate extra large version of Mr. Clean, or a very tan Michael Chiklis, or a Lucha Libre out of his costume.
He’s also experiencing enough sensory abnormalities in his fingers and hands that they are going to discontinue the Taxol. Becuase surprise surprise, one of Taxol’s adverse effects is peripheral neuropathy. So it’s all Carboplatin from now on (but it should be noted that Carboplatin can also cause peripheral neuropathy, so I suppose it’s up to the doctor’s professional judgment). His H/H was also a bit low, so they gave him 2 units of blood before last week’s chemo (not H/H is not Hot n’ Heavy, but Hemoglobin and Hematocrit). Other than that his getting a bit of the constipation, could be the chemo, could be the pain meds. Either way his on docusate.
How Is…Siam Square
I’ve skipped ahead on the menu a bit. I moved on to the Noodles/Fried Rice Section. The Shrimp Fried Rice, while looks quite attractive, it is not so attractive to the taste buds. Something was off about it, it was wet and the flavor profile was too peppery and lemony. And note that they put all the shrimps on top so it just looks like it’s bursting at the seams with shrimps.
Who Doesn’t Like Fish Tacos
The uncivilized….otherwise known as some of my co-workers. I think we can all agree that tacos are awesome, and fish is delish, so combined they can only be super-awesome-yum. They are so light and fresh, it’s like a cloud explosion in your mouth. And very simple to make, fish (seasoned with salt, white pepper and lemon or lime), cabbage, sour cream, cheese and if available cilantro, green onions, and your favorite chili.
How To Work Smart, Not Hard
Some random work stuff:
1. The pharmacy got some traffic cones to close down the drive thru lanes when they’re broken. And since the Plow King is too lazy to move anything when he plows the parking lot at night, I have to bring the cones in every night. But in my infinite wisdom I decided to pick the traffic cones up on the way out and store them in my car, instead of walking all the way back inside to the pharmacy to store them.
2. I got in trouble for not donating to this charity, Employees in Need (I’m guessing it’s for workers who are in need). Apparently all the company likes it when all the managers donate (but I’m totally not a manager, so what the what). But according to the Marriam-Webster Dictionary, charity is benevolent goodwill toward or love of humanity. So if we’re required to donate, then is it really charity anymore? It’s hardly benevolent when (I’ll be honest), I really don’t want to give, but have to anyway because my boss “highly suggested” that I give.
3. Some girl (I say girl but she was prolly older than me) asked if I would be game for getting a pie thrown in my face (again for charity), because all the other Managers were going to do it. Good thing they were going to do it at a meeting that I wasn’t going to attend (because I spend enough time at work, that I’m not about to go to meetings on my off time). Because I really didn’t want get a pie in my face, charity or not. I actually don’t know if it really was for charity or just a way for the underlings to get back at their bosses.
4. I’ve implemented a new positive reinforcement strategy to get the techs motivated to work. I’ll fill you in on the deets later, but it does involve gold stars.
