Number One.

So, I'm finally doing the blog thing.

I got the idea to finally step up to the 21st century and do a blog because my sister Brandi Jo's blog is 1) pretty cute, and 2) a good way to keep up with what's going on in her life. Since I'm 90-to-nothing all the time with work and school, I don't have a lot of time to talk to the fam or friends as much, so here's my way to let everyone know all the craziness goin' on in my busy life.



As of now, I work two jobs. I am an EKG Tech at the big hospital in Gainesville, Georgia and I do night auditing for the Hampton Inn. I love both my jobs, but between them, I work about 60-ish hours a week.



At the hospital, I do a lot of crazy stuff. The job description on paper is simple -- do EKG's and hook up moniters all day long on patients. But in reality, it's so much more. I work all over the hospital, on every floor -- even in the E.R. I have to know every heart rhythm that the heart is able to beat out and I have to be able to spot a heart attack or any other critical heart rhythm in a split-second. I see everything from bloody trauma to death to medical miracles. Needless to say, it's definitely changed me as a person, both for the best, and unfortunately, not the best.



The hotel is a little more simple. Just dealing with a lot of numbers, meeting a lot of interesting people with interesting jobs. It's a really great place to network for me for when I actually have a real career and move outta Mom and Pop's house ;-) My boss is so good to me and the people that I work with are all so interesting.



Flopping from days to nights and nights to days is hard on me, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do. I'm saving money for school and other things that I need, and I'm very content with living back at home with the parents and my lovely sisters.



Needless to say, with working all the time, I don't have time for much of a social life...but luckily, because I work so much, I'm never bored, so things kind of even out. I'm still waiting to figure out what I want to do with my life, so stay tuned...
