as if I’m not random enough

Posted by beth on September 27, 2007

In response to JBeau’s and Lauren’s posts, both entitled “8 Random Things About Me,” I’ve decided to compile an 8 of my own. I’ll try to do new ones that aren’t already included elsewhere in this blog. This might prove to be ridiculously difficult because, well let’s just face it…I talk about myself a lot. [...]

 what should I request??

I just got this email. Does anyone else find anything about it extremely funny and/or weird?
Due to the water outage, many restrooms are still experiencing some issues with the flush valves not working appropriately causing the water to continuely run. There are available restrooms for women/men available in every building. The Facility Service Division are [...]

I’ve always known that I’m just not a morning person in general, but I’m learning that I’m most assuredly not a morning workout person. Unfortunately, it’s the only time I can do it, so I’ve been meeting with my new torturer (aka trainer), Chris, at 8:00 every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Well, this morning, he [...]

 How could I forget?

Posted by beth on September 20, 2007

I was just looking at my bank account online (I still have money), and somehow, my brain thought it read at the bottom of the screen, “Forgot you’re sexy?” I don’t know why my brain thought this was logical at all on a banking site. Maybe it didn’t, and that’s why I looked twice. Needless [...]

 new soulmate

Posted by beth on September 19, 2007

I’m not sure how many soulmates one person is allowed to have, but I have many. And I know most people think of a soulmate in a romantical sense, but mine are all platonic friend-types. I’ve got cross-generational ones, man ones, woman ones, probably even a few animal ones. I think the connection I feel [...]

 And can you believe it? I STILL haven’t found what I’m looking for.

For the past week and a half or so, I’ve been teaching my ESL students to correctly use present perfect verbs. For those of you who are not grammar nerds, an example would be “have worked,” as in, “I have worked for the community college for almost three years.” So we started out talking about [...]

I talked to a nurse today who will be a part of the medical crew for the Avon Walk in Charlotte next month. This will be her second time on the crew as she did it last year as well. So (a) she’s a nurse, and (b) she’s seen thousands of people come through the [...]

 one h-e-double-hockey-sticks of a weekend

Posted by beth on September 16, 2007

So far this weekend, I have:

performed several surgical procedures
walked 16 miles
witnessed the downfall of Denmark due to regicide
gotten my hips back

And by that I mean that I:

played a medical game on Marieke’s new Wii in which the player acts as a surgeon and must perform highly intense operations on several patients
literally walked 16 miles, during [...]

I have an extra ticket to see the Burning Coal Theatre Company’s production of Hamlet this Saturday night at 7:30. Who wants to go on a free date with me?

 boredom begets…

Posted by beth on September 11, 2007

I have this small problem wherein I come home at night, and having nothing to do the next day that requires waking up early, I stay up until all hours. Boredom sets in, and eventually I end up on an internet dating site. Did I hear an “oh no?” Yeah, that’s what I say too. [...]
