So we know that last week the dentist said that my wisdom teeth had to come out. So off I go to a surgeon, because the dentist didn't feel comfortable taking them out.
I get to the surgeon yesterday, and he says me teeth should be no problem. I'll come in, they'll put me to sleep I'll wake up and it'll be all over with except for the recovery bit. He drew on my x-rays as he was talking to me. They looked like this:


Then he explained why they had to come out. I added some more labels that I thought might be helpful. This diagram makes more sense the Will's explanation.

So this morning was the big day. I got there and they called me back. I met two nice nurses who i can't remember the names of. They put in an IV. I asked her what was in it, the Nurse said it was bacon and eggs, which is great cause I was starving(No Food, No Drink , since  Midnight  the night before). I told her about the irregularities in my heart and blood pressure (Heart goes fast and blood pressure is low, all still normal though). The surgeon comes in and he pushes a shot through my IV, I see him rearranging the other shots on the table, I can hear the heart monitor beeping..........

The next thing I know, I'm waking up in my recliner watching TV with a mouth full of gauze. I asked how I got home apparently in the car. Total time in Surgery, about an hour and now my x-ray looks kinda like this



I feel better now. Check with me after my pain meds are gone.

Thoughts, Well Wishes, and prayers to whichever diety is appropriate are appreciated.

Current Mood: sore

I have to go to the dentist in the morning. I wonder why, since Cap has figured it out. He drew me a diagram and explained it all to me. Let's see if everyone can get it.



So, all I have to do is kill the tooth gremlin. Then I'm all good.

Wish me luck folks.

Thanks captwill83.


Here are the rules: 1) Link back to the person who tagged you (that= me!). 2) Post the rules on your blog. 3) Write six things about yourself. 4) Tag six people at the end of your post by posting links to their blog sites. 5) Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their site. 6) And let your tagger know when your entry is up.

So six things about myself.....hrmmmm......

1. I have an unholy love affair with Build-A-Bear. Cap bought me my bear and I've been dying to go back. I browse their site and make wishlists of little outfits that Salty Bob should, and yes I do change my bears clothes.  Now, let's not bring this up in public.

2. I want to build clockwork automatons. Never mind the fact that I have zero engineering skills or experience. I am utterly fascinated by automatons, especially those that function entirely without the aid of computers and circuits. For example the ones built in the 1730's. I am completely in awe of how they function and that they even functioned at all. I would love to figure them out and maybe even do some of my own.

3. I am currently reading the works featuring Sherlock Holmes. I have never read these books extensively and I'm a little ashamed of that as well read as I am. The stories are very good, but so many movies and novels published since them have emulated them so that I know the answers before I get to the end.

4. I am teaching myself to play the violin.

5. I think wetnote.com is one of the coolest websites ever.

6. I learned to play poker when I was four years old. What that means is that I'm more experienced with poker than most people I know. But experience will only get you so far when it comes to poker.

That's all from me. Now Tag

I work for Wal-Mart. My job, other than to make pictures is to sell cameras(Yay, Photo Lab). Before that I worked electronics. But this week takes the cake where training is concerned.

I totally understand that Wally World is behind the times when it comes to technology. I got that when they were teaching us about MP3 players and the training program said that 512Mb was high in the memory capacity for players on the market today. (As far as the training is concerned, a 3 megapixel camera is really awesome too and you only need a  256Mb card for that) Anyway, this week we got a new training program Cyberscholar. This program was put together by the awesome folks over at Consumer Electronics Association and let me tell you that they don't know crap about electronics, let alone how to sell them to customers. The questions that go with these modules are assinine and poorly written. Here's an example

The category is Digital Imaging
The sub-category is Sharing Digital Images (Creative, no?)

Your customer wants to show his photos on his new DTV in the Living Room and his old TV in the Kitchen. How can he do that?

    A. Can't be done
    B. Via a digital photo frame
    C. Via portable flash memory
    D. Via a CD or DVD

I think I'll let everyone ponder that for a bit. The answer seems obvious, at least it did to me (Until this question made me fail the module 8 times)

Even better is their explanation for how a digital photo frame works.

"[A digital photo frame is] an LCD screen that's networked and lets you update the images any time."

Ok, so it's not all bad. A digital photo frame is and LCD screen. But, to my knowledge, we don't have any photo frames that are network capable in my store or indeed on the website. All the frames I've seen are plug & play only or download and play. If I told a customer that the frames were networked they'd believe it and wait for their pictures to magically appear on the screen. Sure someday really soon (Probably before the end of this year or next year) that could happen, but explaining how to do that to the average customer who is just barely able to grasp the concept that DVDs don't have to be rewound is going to be monumentally difficult and certainly not worth the $8.50 an hour that Wal-Mart thinks I deserve.

So how much did the mega, giant, EVIL, corporation pay for such a quality training tool.

Absolutely nothing.

That's right pennypinching Wal-Mart has given all of it's electronics employees a substandard training tool that some random home office flunkie found online. I'm suffering for it because I know better. But, I would dare say that 50% of my fellow employees don't know any better because their first experience with electronics of any kind was when they came to work for Wal-Mart and had to learn how to operate the cash register. The old training program was outdated, sure, but at least it was accurate. This Cyberscholar stuff is just crap.

I guess the moral of the story is you get what you pay for.



Oh yeah, the answer is C.

Current Mood: irritated

I succeeded.

I did not sleep.

I almost bested the Captain (Just two questions off.)

I am going to crash now.
