Started that new for real job at FMC Technologies on June 21st. After today, it will be 3 weeks. So far all I've done is study all the junk we make. Feels like school taught me one percent of this.
So I'll run through a typical day.
-Get here at like 8:03 and boot up computer, takes forever with the laptops they gave us.
-Start looking up on the internet on my phone. Download apps, look at cars I might get, play games on my phone, etc. Do all this while periodically looking in a binder with work stuff in it when I hear people walk by.
-Open up work stuff on my computer like the home FMC intranet page, Outlook, the softphone that goes with the bluetooth headset that no one uses, and some power point slides.
-Study for a little and play with my phone at the same time for the next few hours till lunch at 11:30.
-Take a dump between 830 and 10. Play with my phone in there until it there's no one else around, so I can come out. Also, listen to everyone explode into their toilets next to me.
-Lunch time until like 1230. Usually go to my brother's house to eat whatever they got, or go eat out with coworkers or jessica. My coworkers used to ask me everyday, but they figured out that I would say I'm just gonna eat at home unless it's wednesday, which is Wings n More day. First week, I never said no cause I was super new. It's not that boring to eat with them cause they're all only 1-3 years older than me.
-Come back at around 1230 and do the same thing until five that I was doing before lunch. I've spent a lot of time signing up and reading about my benefits and 401k and doing all these computer based trainings. Also, figuring out cool ways to use my phone, like blogging which took a while to figure out the best way to do it.
Today is actually the first day of engineering boot camp and starts at lunch. Maybe I'll talk about what it is after wards if I figure out what it is.
Perce!

Office Happenings: Dr. G Tells a Joke
The doctor comes in and says, "Ok, so here's a joke cause I know y'all like jokes." Who doesn't? Anyway, here it goes:
So a husband and wife go to the doctor's office for the husband to get a checkup. The doctor comes into the room and tells the wife to come into the other room so he can talk to her in private. The doctor says, "You have to cook him three meals a day, keep the house spotless, don't let him do any chores, take care of the kids, or do any shopping." When they leave the husband asks what the doctor said in the other room. Dr. G all of a sudden says, "Wait! I forgot to tell you a pretty important part." He gets all red and is rubbing his forehead like he messed everything up. So, he says that the doctor says she has to do all this stuff, or he'll die. Okay, so they're in the car, and the husband asks the wife what the doctor said. She says, "You're gonna die." We all start laughing, and he's like, "I messed it up, but you all get it." Imagine shooing with one hand, that's what he was doing while saying but you all get it.
Bonus:
Earlier in the day, there was this fat lady that came in to see the doctor. Later Dr. G comes into the office part, walks up to me and says, "Hey, did you see..." He sees the fat lady sitting right in front of the receptionist's window and says, "Nevermind, I'll tell you later."
Later I tell him I'm starting on the 21st and not on the 14th. Neza and the Mexican girl all gather around, and he starts telling us what he was gonna say earlier. He asks if we saw that fat lady and asks us if we've ever had the tickles like in our chest. I'm thinking no, but I'm nodding anyway. He tells us that he's had the tickles ever since he checked her, and that he's been bout to bust out laughing the whole morning. He says that the reason she came in is because she was sitting on her porch and it broke, and she fell. Didn't think it was that funny, but he was cracking up so hard.

Random Stuff to Remember
Some jerk came into the office today and made my aunt cry cause she was looking for his chart or something, but she was busy doing other stuff too. Anyway, I really wanted to say something to him, but I didn't know if it was ok since a lot of these people have mental problems or something.
Getting a new phone because it's only 5 dollars to add a line to my brother's and Marianne's plan. I'd pay them back, but wouldn't it feel weird to get five bucks from me every month? What's weird is that I saw my family plan bill this morning sitting on a tray table, and I've never seen it before in my life even though I've had the same plan for the past like 7 years. Coincidences freak me out.
I think I have a really fast fight or flight mechanism cause I get freaked out easily, and it goes super hard on me. Remember when that roach was on my shirt in the Philippines at Boracay? Dudicles. I can feel it right now giving me goosebumps.
Might get my first real job from Tito Phil at FMC. HR lady called me just now to fill out some junk so I can get an interview. Scared, and I guess I'm starting to feel relieved. Never had a real interview before. I get noticeably sweaty on my forehead when I get nervous.
Getting new workstations in the office this week. Looks like Dell monitors, don't know about the computers though. Too bad I'll be leaving soon. I'm gonna have to train some girl that is gonna be dumb I bet. I wrote everything down that I do kinda step by step in the beginning, but then I learned a bunch of better stuff over the past 5 months. I guess she'll have to do the same thing and learn as she goes. I didn't even know what a deductible was before I started here, or what the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Did you know Medicare's deductible is $155? Still doesn't seem like the people that come here with Medicare can afford the 155 bucks. Also, I never ask who's calling, and a lot of times they're asking for info on patients including SS#'s and phone numbers and junk like that. Just gave someone's phone number right now without asking who wanted it.
Gonna try to touch rim sometime this year. Jessica said that sounds gay. I said you sound gay.

Lunch Time is Gossip Time
At work we have a really little kitchen with a little table that 5 of us sit at for lunch. It usually takes me like 10 minutes to eat my lunch if I even eat at the same time as everyone. Anyway, all the ladies just sit there and usually talk about patients and how sucky they are.
Today, Tita Meng was talking about this one lady that just started super crying in one of the rooms. She said that the lady saw the doctor walk by and just started acting all hurt and crying and junk cause I guess she came to refill her medicines.
Other times Neza, the nurse here, said she'll take them to a room and then ask them, "Ok, so what's wrong today?" Then they'll start doing the whole, "Man, my back hurts and blah blah." You know what I'm talking about, where they start rubbing their back and grimacing. Then Neza was saying that like, "They don't have to do that cause I'm not the one prescribing the medicine, I mean I'm just asking what's wrong so I can write it down."
It's the Lebron syndrome:

Chicken Barbecue
I heard this in the office while I was surfing.
Some guy came in and was talking to Maria the receptionist, and Maria starts walking to the kitchen...
Tita Meng: ... we have some chicken barbecue.
Maria: But he don't have no teeth on the bottom.
-----
Also, the fun part of my day was when I found out I put the bills upside down in envelopes after I had sealed like 50 of them. The fun part is opening them with this really nice letter opener.

Fortunately/Unfortunately
Tita Meng brought this into work last week. Self explanatory. No wonder he's a big Hollywood producer in LA right now.
I don't see any other family in this story but me. Flattered.
Benefit of the Doubt. Some of his fortunatelies and unfortunatelies are mixed up. Plus it might not even be me, I only have one L in my name. Also, the door to the black whole of nothingness.
Scoreboard. Also, his Toy's possess something.
Fortunately I was in his room with his toys!,
I have super powers, floods and volcanoes.

Lost Memories
Sounds like the worst movie ever, but it's real life. Server broke on Monday, so no computer or internet till right now. All this junk I thought of posting for my diary all week is gone. I guess I'll list some stuff I did all week that took the place of the stuff I usually do, like blog about my ideals.
- One day while everyone was in the kitchen eating lunch, I started balling up scratch paper in the office area and trying to shoot the paper into different trash cans. I wanted to take a picture of this one I was trying to throw it into because it was under a desk, so I had to fast ball it from across the room to make it.
- The Sunny 99.1 commercial for WalMart Hot to Train Your Dragon stuff is good. Hoser water.
- Spent a third of a day trying to remember how to make an origami box, which was a success.
- Had at least one thing I wanted to look up on the internet that I had remembered wanting to look up at least three times, but can't think of it right now.
- I have a stamp making kit that I found in my desk when the lady I replaced retired. When I found it, I was like dang, I'm gonna make some stamps one day. Made one that said Dunkeytower inc. Prestige Worldwide. Jessica will scan the post it note that I stamped on.
- Fixed the fax machine

Office Happenings: Super Awesome Beeping
Came in to work today, and after like 30 minutes a loud high pitched beeping starts in the front of the room right in our faces. There's a bunch of machines over in that area, so I start pointing my ear towards each machine. It felt really weird cause I kept getting that doppler effect where it sounded like I was getting farther away every time I moved from the middle of all the machines. I get the ladder cause we think it might be the smoke detector
(Pause in the story cause boss lady is telling me to try something to fix it.)
Anyway, it didn't work, and it's the server. Story was gonna be long and boring. I'm sure you guys already know the sound I'm talking about because you guys know servers. I don't know if it's the fans, overheating, or voltage, or what, but I think we're just gonna have it beeping all day. Man pretend you left your alarm on all day, that's what it's like right now. So everyone except the doctor is scared to let me try to stop it including me, but only because they're making me scared to try. The doctor's like let the computer whiz try to fix it.
I had to bring this old guy who was super weak to the ER just now. I cannot be a nurse or anything dealing with people. I'm super awkward and scared to touch strangers even to help them into wheelchairs and beds. This guy was getting off a bed into a wheelchair, and he almost fell off onto the ground, but the doctor was watching and caught him. I was barely holding him. I suck. When I dropped him off, I had to suck it up and pick him up and put him in the lobby in a chair. I couldn't think of a sign off or like a don't worry they'll be right with you kinda thing. I just walked off with the wheelchair.
Last thing. It's weird answering the phones at geriatric doctor's office. Calls are like this. "Dr. Grainger's office." "Hey, yeah, um I went to the potty and there was blood in my urine/I have diarrhea, can I see the doctor today?"
