Oh Man...

Here I am at work, and would be until the clock strikes six. I had the opportunity to call in sick today and be in the sand with my friends. Marleni was trying to convince me to miss a day of work and go to the beach with them. Although Horacio has a driving class today at one, he was willing to call and re-schedule his class. Oh man... if it were only that easy! I mean, I know it's really easy to call in and pretend that you're sick, I have done it several times in the past. On those occassions, I actually either stayed at home or did some errands. The thing is, I can't call in and say that I am not feeling well and come back the following day all nicely tanned. This office is full of politics, and I don't feel like being for judgment, especially when I know that I really am not doing much here at work and that I would soon be setting for the "real" world of nursing (God willing I pass the board exams). I have witnessed a lot of backstabbing once an employee leaves this office. Yes, they say that I do a good job and stuff, and that I would be missed and that they are hoping that I just stay with them. With six years of experience and observing their behaviors... I think I would rather be "nice" and not push the envelop thoroughly. Maybe, just maybe, because my conscience can't just take it.

On the lighter note, for the past few months, I have been trying to solve crossword puzzles and would get Horacio and my brother to finish it with me. It may not be the the New York Times Sunday Crossword.. but it is a start and I get amused by it. Yesterday, after a couple of hours in our Kaplan review, Horacio and I started on the crossword puzzle on AM New York... before the review ended, we finished it!!! Yep! We finished a crossword puzzle! This time, no internet cheating or whatsoever. It was fun and really felt amazing. Horacio kept the newspaper and took it home with him, but as soon as I get my hands on them I'll scan it and post it here. I never thought crossword puzzles would be this so much fun! :)
