God is always working to make His children aware of a dream
that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream,

a new dream that
when realized will release a new song, sung with tears,

till God wipes them away
and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts

Note to self.

Dear self,
Please do not let yourself have another day of work like today. It is not good for any of your personalities. These are some things that you may want to avoid in the future.
1. When the stockroom calls you, do not take them seriously. When they tell you that the cart has a sign on it that says "locked--could not restock" ask if they tried opening it before going to see for yourself that it never was locked. Do not underestimate the depths people will go to to avoid doing their work.
2. Do not drop the glass vial of lidocaine on the floor. It will break and you will have to hunt down another vial--not to mention the issue of glass on the floor.
3. Quit avoiding the yummy cookies in the cafeteria. They make you so happy.
4. Don't ever get the seafood salad again...you are disappointed every time.
5. "The Palace" will always call late in the afternoon and have an "emergent" line that needs to be placed. Get used to it.
6. Instead of getting frustrated when a line doesn't go in just right relax and appreciate how boring life would be if we were all exactly the same. It sounds good in theory, anyway.
7. And finally...quit trying to stop drinking soda. It tastes so good and isn't THAT bad for you. Just no more than 1 per day, Okay?
Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Me.

If always try to treat myself, because well lets face it, it is hard being me :)
as for the seafood salad, well I had my eye on this cheese soap for quite some time & finally just broke down & tried it. later I learned things are not always what we build them up to be in our minds.
I think life it full of could haves & many disappointments so why not try to have a moment to your self & enjoy a pop. Lets be honest it is not like it is an illegal drug or something.
As for the elusive stock room for HELL. I swear no one must know where the stock room is. I always felt I was the only one using it. no one ever stocked their linen like they were suppose to, but always managed to put their cardboard in the storage room. What is up with that?
I have found that by reading your blog, I have come to learn that a lot of the issues you experienced were also experienced on my floor.
