my MILs bday is today.

today was a good day at my site.

we were in on one of these procedures.
the dr that was on today (and the only one i've high fived and seen so far.. must be the day shift guy or the only one) likes to do these procedures with U$ guidance, so we ended up in the c@th l@b gowned up, and ready to go.

the tech let me scan the guys kidn3ys first and told me a few things to fine tune the image.
when the dr came in, the tech said, "show the nice man what he's aiming for."

in no way was i in any sort of charge once the procedure started.
well, i did hold the gel for the tech to keep it sterile.
that's like holding the flashlight for your dad under the hood of a car.

later in the afternoon, the tech said, "my student had some nice images earlier." the dr agreed and in his little ea$tern eur0pean accent, i got a "berrii goot, studennnT."

while i won't ever say that my tech is not professional, because he is the most professional i've seen or come across, i will say that the tension of knowing each other, in what i consider another life, is starting to suck.

well, he'd like for things to suck.

he's never said anything in front of anyone to disrespect me - it's always just him and me when things are said.
and i can play the game just as good as anyone.
but i'm already tired of it.

and it's only been two weeks.

tomorrow, we are working a double.
the 3 - 11p tech is off tomorrow so my tech is working a double and wants both students to work it with him. he said we will have to do it eventually so why not practice now.

nothing inappropriate will be said in front of the other student, i know. he's had plenty of chances to do that already.

he calls me out a lot more when the other student is there with things that i should know and end up stammering around like an idiot.

454 g = 1 p0und
length of the alim3ntary canal - 29 feet
term for twin$ = 36 weeks
h3patic vein$ in 30 seconds...


he already knows my weaknesses and really pushes me to recall things easly forgotten and think things through logically.
if i survive my 20 weeks with him, i will be a damn fine tech.

but it's going to get harder and harder to keep saying no.


hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
for all we know, this void will grow and
everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
feels so right, but i'll end this all before it gets me

call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
i'm fallin' down, but i'll rise above this

the void is, and not necessarily bad... you control your thoughts (for the most part), the only thing you really can control... your best bet is to keep it all professional...;-)
