Post 36

It’s Friday. Thank god. The boredom has finally gotten to me, Dear and Gentle Readers. I can no longer take the soul-crushing monotony of Corporate servitude. Rise up, RISE UP! I say. Fight the machine. I may have quit my job today. We’ll see. Considering that I’m basically unemployable at this point, I suppose we’ll just have to see what happens.

I’ve been taking night classes in emergency medicine. I like. I like it very much. There’s something almost poetic in the efficiency. ‘Put your hands where it’s bleeding, compress the chest if the heart is stopped, breathe for them if they can’t.'‘ And that’s basically it. I like it. And it’s hard and complicated and all the rest, but at its heart, it’s just keeping people alive one moment at a time. I really, really like that. I want to know more. I’m sure the humans in my class hate me. But I have so many questions! Human anatomy is fascinating! Does sun stroke short out the neurological/electrical signals to the heart? What oxygen flow rate is required for different organic maladies? What does intubation mean? What does it feel like to cut someone’s throat open? I want to know. Fascinating stuff. Very engaging.

Ah, sweet, sweet information soothing my savage boredom burns. It’s the only thing keeping me from madness at the moment. That and writing, of course. Always my little stories give me a tiny escape from the real world.

And to that end, Cygnus: Reconstruction is OUT. Published! BAM. The only outliers are the works in progress…phyto and Sun on Snow. If I truly did quit/get fired today, I imagine I can finish that one up VERY efficiently. Romances are so easy to write. And now I have about $1000 in medical books to make sure that the story stands up. A good excuse to research medical stuff. I love it.

READ MY SHIT! It’s gotten a lot better…
