I'm posting before I go to work today because the only other time I'll get today is during lunch. I'm doing my First Aid and CPR training today. It will be nice to re-certified. I always feel strange when I'm not since I almost constantly have been since I was 14. That's almost ten years now.

So, a medical day and then dinner with a new person. Still not sure when, where or how I'm going to pay for , but those factors are trivialy, aren't they? Hopefully there will be more e-mail at lunch and after work.

In other news, I'm generally kind of depressed about something, but I really don't want to talk about it here. First of all, I'm not even sure what I think yet. Second of all I realy don't want to have to explain the whole thing.

Anyway, I need to pay my rent and go to work. I'll see you guys later.

CPR is interesting. I'm having an interesting time watching people squick when he talks about certain things. I was getting kind of strange there before we took our lunch break. He's very honest and up front about what this experience will be like.

Someone: "What if they've recently had surgery, won't.. with the stitches...?"
CPR Guy: "We have that all the time. The worst is when the staples are still in and they cut through your gloves when you're doing compressions...."
Someone: "You'd still do CPR?"
CPR Guy: "Yes. I'm giving them a chance. They aren't breathing and tehre is no pulse - they're dead. You do CPR on someone who is dead. You give them a chance. If you don't, they're just going to remain dead."

It's been an interesting class and they've stdardized things internationally, so they've changed yet again, but it makes sense.

Anyway... Need to get some stuff done and get back to class. *waves*
