Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Blogging to you live from San Francisco. This is such a silly town. It’s like an entire town of Obies (that’s Oberlin students). What is most lovely is the fact that when I turn on my PDA, there are generally about 5 networks to choose from. Now if I only had all the passwords. It’s a wired town, and I’m a wired gal. I’ve just taken a really amusing photograph of the power strip I packed at the last minute (brilliant idea, BTW) with all of Aaron’s and my gadgets. There are two cell phones, two PDA’s, and a battery charger! We’re heading over to Morning Due in a minute for coffee and free WiFi. As a 5-year Palm user, I’m pretty happy with my Pocket PC. Only drawback is its nonrelationship with GMail. It’s a hassle. Also, the browser tends to close when I open Blogger, so I’m on Aaron’s Mac. I realized the coolest thing this morning. I forgot to download a Berkeley map when I got my SF map from Mapopolis, but I was able to log on directly from my PDA and download it right to my device. I love that! This is the freakin’ life. Here, people speak Internet. It’s a nice break from the luddites in the city schools. Love ’em, but I don’t understand their technophobia. It’s beyond me. OK, gotta go have some experiences so y’all’ll have something to read later!

(BTW, Mark… wasn’t Bari divine?!!)

See? Google has the right idea. They give stuff away for free, and that’s why people like them. Also, their ads aren’t intrusive, so I don’t mind them. I actually click on them sometimes! They seem to have respect for their comsumers’ intelligence and freedom to choose what they want and what they don’t. I hope they don’t lose that as they get huger and huger!!!

Google, Google Local, Google Desktop, GMail, Froogle, Google Labs, Google Sets, Google Scholar, Google Suggest, Google Compute, Google SMS, Google Groups… They really have the right idea. I’d do links for all those sites, but you know what? If you want to find them, just Google them!

Trisha’s post today is just about how I feel. Why is everyone sick and chilly in Memphis right now?

And why has this morning gone all out of control? It REALLY isn’t the time for my counseling cases to go all wacky. I have to leave on Friday! Everyone just needs to chill until the new year!!

This is not good. I am very, very unwell. I guess this is what comes from night after night of sub-6 hours of sleep and constant psych report writing with no down down. I have neglected my health, and so my health is neglecting me. My throat is swollen and burning, my nose is running, my head is aching and foggy, my sinuses are full, and everything sounds fuzzy. Finally, a vacation is coming to me, and now this. I have 7 car hours planned for Thursday, many hours of flying planned for Friday, and social plans out the wazoo planned in San Fran for Saturday. Finally, I have some fun lined up, and it’s not really working out.

There’s still so much to do before I go: packing, Xmas gift wrapping and mailing, not to mention the rest of these psych reports I have to get done in the next day. Why does it take me so damn long to write them. Yes, I’m a perfectionist, but even when I squelch those perfectionistic impulses, it takes me forever. I spent 7 hours on one on Sunday, and I’d already put in two hour on it before that day, and I’m still not done! Why? I want to get it right, and these test interpretations and diagnostic decisions require different criteria than what I’m used to.

Today is my last day during this rotation at my minor. I can’t really not go. I hate this, but I think I’m going to have to go in for a few hours and make a good faith appearance. I have really enjoyed this placement, and I don’t want to just bail on the last day. It doesn’t seem right. Man, I’m glad the case that was lined up for today had to be rescheduled. I don’t think I could handle a day of assessment in this condition.
