Hello world!

So I guess I am getting my b-card "blog card" swiped! Here's my entrance into the blogging world. I'm actually not really a blogging virgin, as I used to have Livejournal account, which encompassed my college life. But here I am, a 25 year old about to graduate from nursing school, with way too many thoughts going through my mind. So I figured, "Why let them go to waste?" and as a result, here I am sharing my random thoughts and daily adventures with you!

So where do I begin? I am not usually a morning person, but my life in the health care field demands that you either live your life working in the early mornings or late at night. I was suppose to work this morning, but got canceled as I am only a PRN (as needed) position. I wasn't needed today nor would the "budget allow for it". Don't you just love our health care system... millions of dollars go towards insurance companies, pharmaceutical drugs, fancy computerized programs, expensive equipment, and yet everyone always complains of nursing and staff shortages because there's just not enough money to pay them. ugh. But I didn't want to talk about my gripes on the health care system. Sorry for the tangent... we can save that for another post.

Were was I? Oh! No work. No school (I'm on spring break). Yet, here I am unable to sleep in. My thought this morning was actually how annoyed I am becoming of people trying to sell their wares on Facebook. I have been tagged numerous times in the past few months with people trying to get my attend on things they are trying to sell. Now, it just so happens that these are people from my "motherland" the Philippines. I understand that in our current economical state, everyone is trying to make a buck and I guess good for them that they've found an outlet through FB, but really? How much money can you possibly make tagging others in the hopes that they buy your used clothes and/or jewelry? Please correct me if I am just totally out of the loop and this is a reputable business venture! In my opinion, however, it seems like these people are making others more annoyed rather than making any $$$. When I signed onto FB years ago (back when it was strictly a college network) I couldn't have imagined what it would become. Don't get me wrong, I was once an addict of Farmtown and I can be a serial FB stalker, but this whole tag-to-sell aspect is one of the more annoying innovations to come out of FB. As I posted on my profile "new pet peeve: people who tag others trying to sell stuff. I didn't sign onto FB to go online shopping"... there are websites designed specifically for this... ebay.com, etsy.com! Create an account with them, post your wares, and spread the word amongst your clients *cough* friends. Or make your own website like other reputable small business owners. There's nothing wrong with trying to make a buck, but when you inconvenience others (yes, it's an inconvenience to have to untag myself from all these posts) then it's a problem. I just hope it's another FB phase as people realize that no one is going to buy from them and/or they get tired to taking tons of pictures, posting tons of pictures, tagging tons of people with very little result.

Okay. That was my little vent. Time for breakfast I think. Something that I don't have as often as people say you should. Some oatmeal sounds quite delight at the moment, or I could just go back to sleep :)
