Totally Awkward Tuesday!

Once again, I nearly forgot that it's Totally Awkward Tuesday! I know I said that my next blog post would be from my new room in the Dollhouse at school, but I lied, because I want to participate in Tova's Totally Awkward Tuesdays! Hop on over to her blog for all the details.

This awkward story happened while I was working as a receptionist in a physical therapy office. Before I worked there, I had no idea how crazy some of the patients are. Well, the front desk that the receptionists (me) sat behind was pretty tall. A person of average height could definitely see over it, but it made for a relatively tall divider between us and the patients who were making appointments at the front desk. It also gave the appearance that we were sitting much closer to the patient that we actually were, but because of the desk's height, our actual seats on the ground were much further from where the patients stood in front of the desk than it appeared.

One day, a male patient, who must have been in his late 50s or early 60s, for reasons that I have yet to figure out, decided it would be a good idea to reach across the desk, through the expanse between patient and receptionist and pinch my cheek. It was even more awkward because he underestimated the distance and had to lean really far forward in order to accomplish the cheek-pinching. It was so awkward.

Happy Tuesdays!

This calls for a celebration!

Today was my last day at work! That's another perk of going away to college; you get to quit your job and start over somewhere new. I am really excited about that! And my now ex-coworkers are great and gave me some nice going-away things.

I've also decided after hardly any deliberating at all that I'm keeping the name la aventurista. Thanks for your input, ladies. I realized that I picked the name in the first place for a good reason and that I like it a lot! So I'm keeping it :)

I'm currently on a housesitting adventure for the owner of two boxers. While I generally have nothing against boxers, I'm thinking this may begin to change, because one of these has diarrhea on the carpet literally every time I leave the house, no matter how short an amount of time it is. It's getting really old. Usually, I'm not too easily grossed out, but cleaning up somebody else's dog's crap is one of the lowest points that a person can get to.

I also figured out how to post on the blog via text message (no data plan for me yet), but at this point I don't see how it would really be worth it since you can only successfully post 160 characters or less. So maybe I'll use this for very short blog entries when I don't have computer/internet access. Otherwise, I don't really see how it would be helpful.
