I screwed up...

Every two years I have to get 24 hours of continuing education for my job as an x-ray tech. Well, I finished the work, but I thought I had more time. As such I didn't get them all completed before the deadline. *Dummy*

The fun part is I need to call the ARRT to find out what options I have but their number is not an 800 number so I'll have to wait until I can find a moment to use my cell phone to make the call... And where I work, doing that in the building just doesn't work... Stupid T-Mobile. Why is it other people can get calls in here but I can't. That sucks.

With any luck, all I'll get is put on probation. Worse case is I could lose my job...

No pressure, right?

More info as it becomes available...

Update

Well, got through to ARRT. I'm going to get a letter and I can't reuse the classes I submitted for next cycle (I wouldn't think of it actually) but my renewal is going through with no problems.

*whew!*

So now all I have to deal with is the usual stress and drama of working here at Kaiser. @.@

Note to self... Never drink Jack Daniels straight again... EVER! That stuff is nasty! (no, I didn't get drunk... I couldn't handle more that one gulp of the stuff and that made me REALLY sick to my stomach.) So, plans of becoming an alcoholic... Total Failure...

(no subject)

Dang it! I even missed reannon's birthday. *sigh* (I am so lame... or I need to look at this thing more often)

I'll just wish you a happy birthday and blame it all on the Sid Myers and Civilization... ^^

Everyone should read this...

Remarks of Senator Barack Obama
"A More Perfect Union"
Constitution Center
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union."


Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.

If I had any doubts about this man's leadership, they are now officially gone... We have needed this in this country for a long time.

So long, and thanks for all the stories...

Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide said. He was 90.

God, what to say about him. I own all of the 20XX Odyssey books along with a number of his other works. He is credited with the concept of the communication satellite having written about them years before Sputnik and Explorer rocketed into the heavens. He also sat with Walter Cronkite as they watched Apollo rocket to the moon and into the history books.

He has lead us through 'Childhood's End', various rendezvous with Rama and probably knew most of the 'Nine Billion Names of God'.

Reading his books was never work, it was like falling off a log into a pool of knowledge. You found yourself quickly visualizing the ideas he was exploring whether it was satellites or plunging into the depths of Jupiter to find the biggest diamond imaginable inside.

The world has lost a giant, and I think we are both richer for having had his presence and poorer by his passing.

God Speed, Arthur. And once more, thanks.
