A Little Ramble

trilliumgrlInspired by horriblywrong I am in a rambelly mood now. I am of course not rambelly about my relationship (hard to be when you don't have one). Instead I am rambling about my 2 favorite topics: work and skating.
I like working, I really do. I would apply for the permanent position at this place except that the hours blow and I have no medical training. Which is pretty damm funny when you consider that this is like my third medical assignment. Organization and common sense will get you everywhere. As will the ability to admit that you are stupid. I turned down a 2-month long job at Microsoft this morning. Not only did it sound dull, basically calling people about testing stuff, but also I can't make it from Redmond to White Center in 30 mins. Hence there would be no skating for me. Suckness.
Skating rocks. I am now remembering how horridly addictive it is, even though I grumble about going to practice (esp during extreme temperatures). I want to go to practice, but I can't go until Saturday. Not only is it this wonderful release, but the adrenalin rush makes you feel as if you can take on the world. That feeling makes all the other dren worthwhile. Besides meets are pretty damm fun, even when you lose.
I lost on Sunday at the Auburn Fun Meet, but I got a pretty shiny for my trouble. Only 4 people were registered for my division, but 1 girl has mono, so I automatically got 3rd place. Yea for me. My 2km race became a 1.5km due to a misprint, which made the last part of the meet very surreal. I haven't skated a 1.5 since I quit and boy do you go about it differently. All sorts of weirdness. At least this time none of my friends were badly injured. Now I can think about training for next season, when if all goes as planned, there will be 4 people from my team in my division (out of 6 or 7). Fun shall ensue or possibly great amounts of infighting. Option # one seems more likely
