office space

oh hai

and welcome to the end of a little chunk of my life

for the last 18 months or so i have held a reasonably grown up post at the hospital as part time clinical nurse educator for my service.  i've also been part time senior rn on the ward, but managed to be fulltime AWESOME

and today was the last of my educmacator days  (*last*)

i had a lovely lunch out where i was the guest of honour, and i have been super productive all day.  it's been a looooooooooong day, given i got here just after 8am and it's now getting close to 8pm

i've thrown out approximately 7 trees worth of paper whilst throwing myself around to the live cd of the pixies concert i attended in auckland - i finally realised just how drunk i/we were when i discovered that the concert was twenty times as long as i remembered and the first song i recognised was quite near the end.  in a nice touch of circularity my screensaver in my (former) office is a picture of me, mygirlcarrie and her husband chirs outside vector arena pre-concert.  none of us remember having that photo taken, but jebus do we look like we're having fun.  this presages tuesday where we're all reuniting in chirstchurch to see the pixies again - hey!

so, i've been saying goodbyes all day and talking about the past and the present and the future, and i've even paid someone $85/hour for the privilege of doing the same

therefore, i think a little treat is in order in chirstamaphone world

tonight's forecast:

1. nice bottle of savignon blanc - i feel an astrolabe coming on
2. thai takeaways from thai hanoi - spare ribs and chicken tom kar, om nom nom
3. nurse jackie
4. marlboro lights

that's right - i'm gonna drink, eat, smoke and chill the fuck out

so, educator's office - kthxbai
