fucking slaying

 Today I did many things I'd like to remember 

I was the first at a rapid response, and I grabbed a non rebreather immediately after assessing the patient and put it on right in time with minimal assessment. When he started to code, I got the BVM and started to assist with ventilations. When Renate arrived I was already doing what I should be!! She did compliment my presence timiless and good judgement in front of the managers later on. The anesthesia resident asked me to check his page, call them back,  and heck downstairs where there was another code happening and he thanked me for the help. I was important and useful! 


Later I volunteered to help out on another floor. A woman there was shouting vile things and profanity and I spoke to her and she shut up a little. 


The RRT nurse at the first RRT said I'm a code magnet and we laughed because I'm just always there when they get called overhead. 

I clocked in at around 0636 and stayed until 0052. I would have left closer to 11 and almost did but they called another RRT to springfield. I was the first one there. THey asked me to get an ABG and I really almost got it on my own waiting for another therapist but I decided to play it safe. This RRT was interesting and I can't recount all the important details now. I set up a bipap, NRB, bagged, and then assisted with the whole intubation. A training phlebotomist came by and after we chatted while I was bagging the pt she said I seem so calm. and I was! I realized I was like the sage old RT I saw at my first ever code in EMT school who seemed so calm and collected and who I hardly knew what they were doing. How far I've come. 

I assisted in the transport of the patient all the way there, and I made a few mistakes, but I also made a lot of correct moves. Overall today, I made tons of correct moves. Way more than even before. I worked so long and was bored at t imes but god damn if I didn't kill it when I needed to. Feels so good to be good at this and be praised by my coworkers. 


The other amazing thing was (to make a long a story shoret) I asked the PharmD a technical question about albuterol and to my surprise he was so enthused to answer my question! He cortexed me back later and printed off 3 papers about levalbuterol which I read through in the breakroom (which confirmed my suspicion and refuted the advice 2 doctors had given me earlier in the day, meaning I was actually right in my thinking) and I was SO SO happy and proud to have asked, to have gotten such a kind response and to have learned so much! Importantly  the studies were completely intelligible and something that I could likely reproduce myself soon. 


So, basically  yeah.  I killed it with my clinical skills, with my social skills, with my technical skills, and came early and stayed late, put in the time and helped out extra today. I fucking slayed it. Feels so fucking good. 100% worth it. 


Now I need to go to sleep because I have 7 hours of school and then another 16 on Friday so good night!!!!!!!!!!

 18  hours  16  working  2 driving   $240 dollars  with an additional differential for the night  and triple overtime on top  they promise $24 for every hour if  you pull  48 in a week   and $30 for every hour at 60  plus differentials  plus 1.5x overtime for  20 hours it's a no brainer.  to pull 60 hours this week would reduce the next 5 to easy profits  and days off  to pull 60 hours, I could what is likely  10% of my entire income last year  to pull 60 hours I'll need to  take off 3 I had planned  and hope to take off an 8 for simplicities sake  I could work

Early Notes on the Eco-Bike-Future

I'm not sure I know what to call it yet, but I've been slowing fleshing out in my mind a sort of semi-realistic optimistic future. I think the first words I used to describe it may have been a "pastoral daydream" which I still think would be a great moniker for a chillwave outfit. More recently I've been trying to sandwich together phrases like "Eco-Tech" or "Eco-Pop" (another idea for music, maybe a genre?), or more vaguely using images of tree houses, wild flowers and domestic gardens and electric bikes and solar powered laptops. I often will try and pry some distasteful element from the over saturated modern life out to wash off and reexamine as a puzzle piece for this "best case scenario" future I would hope for. It's about 1 part science fiction, 1 part idealism, and 1 part some beacon of principles I hope to move toward or define more clearly. Usually I'm thinking about this as just a helpful exercise in finding the basi...

A Few Pinkish Pictures

On my lunch breaks  I would drive up to Etna and I stopped in this last week of July to take a picture of this barn. I thought it looked just perfect.  I edited in that Pink sky cloud which was from a picture I took of the sky the night I was texting Sam, that girl who worked in the co op. In my last week we had started talking more and I finally edged up the courage to ask for her number and we had a very short awkward convo and I sent her a picture of the sky on a whim. She replied saying  "When Pink Erases Blue"  Explaining it was a quote from an old poem. Very in triguing!  I enjoyed it immensly. . There have been  so many clouds like this up here.  I used to think that it was only big sky country which got sunny day clouds like this but...look at em  Flower Edit Fender Duo Sonic  This guitar is old  Very Old  From the 50's even And it sounds great,  and has some odd custom mods that I can't figure out that they do?
