Nothing here but my musings about daily life, books, anime, and food.
My brain only wants to hate on this week as suggested by my titles for the weekdays. It was really unfortunate when I realized that it was only Thursday Night. Yeah, I have nothing else to say. But the disappointment was real.
I am not going to post about work. I got annoyed, got stressed, and vented. I was very vocal about my dissatisfaction with the increasing expectations from my team having to flag this and that. Put this shit on hold and check this and that. It was a mess. And I had to put down my foot on one of the process changes and said – No, my team will not check results to determine eligibility. That is beyond my team’s scope. It felt good to say No. That is one thing that I like about this job. I’m learning to say no and advocate a lot for the welfare of the team. And the stakeholders listen. It’s nice.
I was picked to take part in a project – data pulls for clinicians. And they said depending on evaluation, this might be something that can turn to its own team. It’s exciting. We’ll see how that goes.
My hun and I hung out today! Yay! We watched Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni. That was a fun movie. I like the realness of the situation – getting screwed by corporations, employees suffering, employees losing their jobs, and the struggle of finding a new job. Love the ending, the CEO getting screwed into donating $400M to that company’s employee relief fund. Such a nice ending.
We also started watching The Dropout on Hulu. The show is about Elizabeth Holmes and the journey of building Theranos. My hun says so far he likes this better than Inventing Anna. I’m interested in this one too. I just recently finished Bad Blood, consumed the available documentaries in streaming services regarding this company and what they did. And being in healthcare – in the diagnostics business for so long, yeah, I’m invested.
We got to watch an episode of Bob’s Burgers as well! So that was nice and relaxing.
I’m finally able to read Forrest Gump last night. So much happened already with Forrest and I’m only in chapter eight. I cannot wait to finish this one soon as well.
Tomorrow is Friday. Finally. For some reason, this week felt too long.
When I woke up this morning, all I could think of is that “Damn, it’s not Thursday yet”. And it was again reiterated on my drive to work. A friend said “It’s only Wednesday?” When I answered, “Yes, unfortunately”; she sighed and said, “I was happy for a little bit. Now I’m sad.” Yeah, me too.
The only good thing that happened at work today was the fact that I had no meetings! Yay!
The only excitement for today was the fact that I had to look for a blood sample that was thought to be missing. That was not fun – the logistics of finding the blood sample was stress inducing. We found it though. I was already thinking of what to write on the non-compliance report, since I exhausted the avenues of where the sample could’ve been if it was actually lost. “It vanished into thin air – you know, like magic!” Yeah, that will definitely be accepted.
I tried listening to Forrest Gump at work…That didn’t go well. Not the audiobook’s fault as all. Here’s the thing, when I am doing something – could be homework, studying, reading or as mundane as doing chores – I always have to have something in the background playing. It could either be a show, music, or YouTube videos. This helps me focus on what I’m doing. So with audiobooks, I tend to listen at the beginning then it just slowly fades into the background. I am envious of people who listens to audiobooks while working or something! Today, I had to repeat chapter 6 of Forrest Gump about five or six times before I finally gave up.
I took a nap when I got home without really meaning to. I had Paco cuddling with me. We both had a really good power nap. Although I’m pretty sure that he slept intermittently throughout the day. And right now, he is currently sleeping right next to me.
Hopefully I get to hangout with my hun tomorrow. We still have no idea what to watch though. At least I don’t. I’m not sure if he has any idea on what to watch next.
I’m rewatching You on Netflix again. This is the nth time I watched this series. And yes, I do not remember the exact number anymore. Let’s just say that I watched it so many times now. I think season one is still my favorite of the three that is currently out. I cannot wait for season four.
