the lowdown

sorry this post will be disappointing to some, but i'm making it a point not to share any work stories this go around. i'm sure i could conjure one up if i thought for a second, but it's 11:38pm, i'm tired, and i don't feel like thinking hard enough to include those real descriptive words that make something funny just a little funnier (not that i ever exaggerate or anything).

i guess i should be studying my newly borrowed GRE book (thanks, Gabrielle!), but i decided to blog instead. so thoughtful of me, right? i know all of you are dying for some more of these words of mine.

actually, tonight i'm feeling all talked out, so here are just a few pics to give you the lowdown.

meet the Boulevard. 

and that back seat is mine.

and my guy who drives this thing is pretty cool too. :)

if you haven't met him, you should.

i also drive around Gadsden on occasion stalking this...

i'm not sure what holiday the owners are celebrating here, but it definitely beat all the eggs dangling from the ceiling this past Easter.

 and, hey, they are Bama fans. they've got my support.

and here's my favorite couple.

there's not much better than hanging out with these folks.

i'm so thankful i still can.

 i think i will tomorrow.

and the rest will just have to wait. my eyes are closing, and i still have one more day of work for the week! yes... one! friday we leave for andalusia for some camping and ATV riding. i'm pretty pumped.

no worries, i'll be sure and take pictures.

night, y'all.

how i went a-wall on my printer.

i lost my patience on my printer today at work. i think i might have said the 's' word under my breath a few times, and my co-worker might have heard me. oopsie. no worries though... she understood. we probably registered a total of ten patients together because our printers kept jamming every 0.2 seconds. the facesheets would print on the labels, the labels would print on the plain letter paper, the consent forms... well, you get the picture.

huge. jumbled. mess.

at least today i didn't completely embarrass myself like i did last week. a lady was sitting directly in front of me at my desk, and as i proceeded with all the typical, personal questions i have to ask to do my job, it happened. my printer jammed.

i was sitting in my chair and bent over to try and rummage around and move papers and trays and slam drawers, and all of a sudden, i fell further forward. i had been leaning on part of the printer that gave way, and i was 99% close to falling face first out of my chair. after the huge banging noise of the printer and my almost fall, both me and my patient  were pretty on edge. then... something even worse happened. i drooled. drool actually came out of my mouth---rolled down off my lips and onto the floor.

i guess i had been leaning down with my mouth open for so long that i just couldn't help myself?

i just couldn't recover after that. i didn't even laugh. i just hurriedly finished her paperwork and got her out the door.

my printer may be the death of me.
