okay, well, i’ve calmed a bit. over the past few days i went for some long runs, spent some time thinking, drank some cold alcohol (okay, a lot of alcohol), and had a long talk with my boss. for the time being i think i’ve come to a decision about how to proceed with my life, but who knows how i will feel a week or so from now.
thinking about the future can be so frustrating.
today at work i got to see a shard of metal in a patient’s eye (as well as a piece of plastic), and helped with the subsequent removal of these foreign bodies. later i would sit with a 13 year old girl while she cried and cried because she couldn’t get out her very first pair of contacts. we place the contacts for patients on the first attempt, but they are not allowed to take the lenses home with them unless they prove to us they can take them out on their own. poor girl just couldn’t do it. i sat there and reasoned with her for over an hour, but eventually she cried so much that the tears made it near impossible to take the lenses out anyhow.
at least today was a fairly interesting and productive work day.
looking for some interesting music? find “something in the way” by “best coast”. it’s a great summer tune.
