a lil' o this, a lil' o that...
last night i was reading an article that i have to write a paper on from the new yorks times about TMJ, that ever so lovely locking and associated pain of the temporomandibular joint. the author was throwing out random facts about the jaw and one of them caught my attention. a human jaw exerts 650-1000 lbs of force per square inch. who knew? it went on to say that you could bite off your own finger. that's pretty crazy. naturally ash and i discussed this. i brought up the fact that if we were ever attacked we could just clamp down on someone's arm and take out a chunk of flesh. but then that presented another problem... we'd first have to know whether or not our attacker had AIDS. such a complicated world we live in... you can't even bite someone without knowing their background first.
on a completely different topic, i got my info packet for my CA job for next year. i'll be on third floor, room 313, which will be the newly alcohol free floor. that could potentially make things harder. and if the guy CA who is on that floor now stays there, i might have the worst co ever. he never does anything i've been told and he doesn't make showering a regular habit. i feel bad, but i'm crossing fingers that he leaves after this semester. i doubt he will. *long sigh*
and the sighing shall continue for a little longer. my grandpa had another stroke on sunday. worse than the last and affecting his speech and thinking to a degree. for some unknown reason my aunt and grandma didn't take him in on sunday even when they suspected a stroke. yesterday a million tests were done and he just got out of surgery. it was very long, apparently went ok, but last i heard they were calling in a cardiologist cause his heart rate was 2x as fast as it should have been and they couldn't get it down. we're praying for the best on this one. i'm really not enjoying how fragile human life is. that reality has touched me too much this school year. i've had enough.
tomorrow is lisa's appreciation day. ash and i have a surprise in store for her. she'll love it. more on that later.
i've concluded that one of my pet peeves is filling out survey/questionaire things. ya know... the type that are meant to 'get to know you better'- what's your favorite food? smell? tv show? movie? time of day? website? then there's the ones that are all important like, what did you enjoy most about this or that? what could we do to improve? what were your goals? did you achieve them? if so how? what are your suggestions? blah blah... i hate em! it just so happens that i have 4 of them sitting in front of me to do... of all types. makes me want to scream while viciously tearing them to shreds. yes, i'm passionate about this.
and on that passionate note i'm ending this long post so i can go work desk. wahoo.
