Lunchtime Musings

Listening to my co-worker on the phone with one of her clients, I realize that I am so sick of studying for this exam. All of us trainees are practically at the burnout stage, the time when any more information stuffed into one’s head just pours right out again, useless. This is also the stage at which time slows to a crawl. My co-worker, Chris, just wandered over to me and said, “Um, out of curiosity, has time just stopped for the past forty-five minutes?” I said yes. Of course it has. Why would a Monday ever go by quickly? Per his suggestion, however, I picked up some vitamin B12 at CVS during lunch; apparently it’s the au natural form of Adderall, a quick pick-me-up that helps you focus and stay alert. We’ll see what happens. Should I be concerned that one capsule is equal to 16,666% of the recommended daily value? Oh, well, it’s a vitamin. What harm could it do? As long as it’s not vitamin A, we’re good to go, I should think. (I heard that if you eat a polar bear’s liver you’ll die, because it’s got like 3 gajillion times more vitamin A than a human body can handle. Just a side note for the next time you’re wandering around the North Pole.)

Okay, the jist of that little rant is that I want to be certified so that I can start actually working, doing business, finding clients, and making money. That is all.
