In my about Me page, I wrote that our landlord turned out to be jerk. Well, we have come across new information that might change things. As it turns out, our landlord is actually a good friend of my oldest Uncle. They have been friends since they were in high school. What a small world. Along with this, we found out that around the time we had problems with him, his father had died, which explains his behavior. So here’s the change to that information: Our landlord is not a jerk and we love our apartment!

Part of my school load this semester involves a technical affiliation. This is where I go into a hospital HIM (Health Information Management) department and participcate in all the bitch work I will be managing when I graduate. Oh what fun. So far, I have had two sessions and I have filed, assembled medical records and sat for 8 hours watching people analyzing records. To those of you not in the HIM field, you probably have no idea what I’m taking about. Assembly of a medical record, involves organizing the different forms in a medical record in a particular order, dictated by the health care facility, (forms include discharge summaries, consults, operating reports, etc.). After assemebly, there comes coding (coding the diagnosis and procedures codes for billing), abstracting (summarizing the data in the chart), and analysis (analyzing all the records in the chart to make sure they meet all requirements, making sure all doctors have signed, and looking for missing forms).
Anyways, enough technical information. I have new found respect for the employees in an HIM dept. I could not imagine doing analysis 5 days a week, all year long. No way, I’d go crazy. But I guess that’s why I will manage and not actually do the bitch work…

Today, my new Motorola RAZR arrived! WHOOHOO!!!! It’s even prettier in person, lol. It has a lot of cool features and buttons to play with. One of my favorite is that you can record your own ringtones. I know that a lot of other phones can have that feature, but this is the first phone that I have used that allows me to do that. Alex has already made his own ringtone! There are also cool things you can do with pictures that you take. Anyways, I can’t wait to use my new phone!

Tomorrow is my first day back to school after a nice long winter break. My program has a pretty cool feature, there’s only 20 of us. There used to be 23, but 3 dropped from the program. I’m anxious to get back to school and actually have work to do. I hate just sitting on my butt all day, it’s nice, but I feel like a slug. Read the rest of this entry »

Tonight (or, rather last night), Alex and I went to hang out with one of my best friends Bobby and his girl, Mandy. Yes, that’s right Mandy. Bobby and I have known each other for almost a year now and I have to say he is one of the most awesome people I know. Before I met Alex, Bobby and I would talk on the phone for at least 3-4 hours a day. Don’t ask me what we talked about, we just talked.

For the wedding, we decided to go with After Hours for the tuxedos. I was able to get a really good deal from them when I bought my wedding dress and put $20 down. After the intial phone call from the store where my wedding is registered, I figured there would be no more phone calls. They called almost everday, and never left a message, just called. I kept telling them my wedding day was not until 2007 and I was not going to rent tuxedos now. For some reason they did not get the message. Eventually, Alex answered the phone and told them not to call until at least a year from now. So far, there haven’t been any more phone calls, but I’m not holding my breath. Talk about overkill, there was no reason for them to call so often.
