Everyone has them from time to time, a terrible day, week, month maybe, and all you can do is hope that others don't judge your character during that time. This just happened to be one those months for me.
Let's start off with my current job applications:
Air Force Reserve Aero Medical Evacuation team won't take me cause my degree is not nationally accredited, yet. Not because my school is bad, but because it's a new program.
Medical Team International Disaster Relief Team said no. Claiming I need further medical experience and international experience, hmm okay, hard to swallow but apparently I didn't pad my resume enough.
Flight Transport team also claimed I need further medical experience. This one I actually understand. So that's three no's. No problem. I will just keep on trying.
It's hard to explain but I accidentally cut a hole in my underwear at work yesterday. Nuff said.
To add injury to my insult my car was broken into this morning on NW 23rd. This nice part of town is hardly a place you would expect such an act. Although, it seems you have to always worry about break-ins anywhere these days.
They broke my passenger side window and only stole my work bag. The joke is on them! All I had in my bag was a stethoscope, which I am sure they have no use for, several medical books which they will be unable to read/understand and will most likely either use the pages for toilet paper or try to smoke it. They did get a pair of nice hemostats, trauma shears, and a few pen lights. Haha not sure if they have much of a street value but I sure used them a lot.
With only liability insurance I have to pay for all the expenses out of pocket. Meh, It's frustrating no doubt, but apparently those ones who wronged me needed the much more than I.
UPDATE - 7/9/09 12:00: Its amazing what a Corona in the shower can do to make you feel better.
UPDATE - 7/9/09 20:30: Just realized my iPod touch was in my bag. Now I am officially bummed again. 10gbs of music and several paid games, goodbye. No Corona for me, benedryl this time, off to bed
UPDATE - 7/9/09 22:30: Estimated losses including windows = $600
UPDATE - 7/10/09 23:00: I received an interesting email today!
Daniel,
Good morning, I have in our possession, your ID badge and a book bag. We have it secured here at Good Sam in our security office. If you can call our dispatch with the case number and we can go from there.
Regards,
-Justin
This is great news! My iPod was in a hidden pouch on the side. My hopes are low but perhaps they left all my books, medical equipment, and could not find my ipod. All in all I might only be out $150. Now I should pray that the bastards didn't piss on it.
UPDATE - 7/11/09 2020: Drove across town to Good Samaritan Hospital where I was given back my book bag. It weighed slightly less due to the lack of iPod touch, my stethoscope, and watch. Grand total of losses plus my broken window - $550 - totally weak. Oh well. At least I know whoever is wearing that watch most defiantly is wearing hundreds of various strains of fecal matter on their wrist. The joys of being a nurse.
