Workman's Compensation
Screwed over and over again it seems.
At first I thought it was a good thing - I get off work, they pay me.
Backtracking ---
In December, right before Christmas, I slipped at work and my knee went in a wrong way.
At first I thought it was a sprain. I finished my shift, with pain killers.
Next day, I went to work popping pills and was -okay- at best.
Day later, I couldn't walk up the stairs without a load of pain.
Needless to say I didn't go to work that day.
That was the day I went to the Doctor.
Sitting in the stupid walk in clinic (not getting to see my real Doctor until 2 weeks later with appointment) and this was taking hours. About 2 hours of sitting, I couldn't move my knee but an inch without gasping in pain.
By the time I saw the Doctor he finally saw I was in pain, checked me out, wiggled my knee in awful ways, and then said it was just 'soft tissue damage'. Sounds pretty pathetic but it really did hurt like hell.
I got prescribed t3's and another bit and that finally made me feel better.
----
Enter Workman's Compensation.
It was fine at first, they were nice, accepted my claim. I got a letter telling me that I got a sum of money to be paid through my employers... The employers checked the wrong box for the paper work and then said they wouldn't pay me money.... this lasted a whole 2 months until I finally got through to one of the bosses that I wasn't getting any money! Talk about frustrating!
I am so lucky to be living at home right now. I can't imagine being without pay for a month while I could not walk very long.
Ok so come around to March... still haven't seen a penny. I call them every time I can - though since I work the same hours they do it was just answering machine tag.
April I finally got a cheque in the mail. Took way too long, too many problems.
Not to mention now, my newest frustration - after I thought it was all over and done with.
I got my income tax back today. The guy from the workman's compensation claims specifically told me that it wouldn't change my tax return. WRONG. I get my mail today and the government says I don't get as much money as I would have thought.
Workmans compensation did send me a t4 thing to send in yet I didn't. Thinking I would not say that I got money (when I hadn't been sent the money until after I finished my taxes (the very last week mind you) ).
So there is my anger. bitter perhaps?
It may be around $70 less than I thought to have gotten. But that's still $70!
Aria is angry. But getting over it.
Thanks for the rant!

Days off!
Today was my day off and wow I was very productive if I do say so myself.
I started by making buns from grandmas recipe and they turned out beautifully.
It was my first time making buns to boot! Beginners luck perhaps?
I quite liked punching my dough.... haha I can throw a pretty good punch too.
Then I cleaned up that and then my room, and bathroom.
After dinner I sewed on a button on my purse that fell off, and fixed the button on a pair of pants.
I don't think I have ever been so 'homemaker-ish' before in my life. Cooking cleaning and sewing in one day.... creepy.
And my weekend has gone by too fast and work comes tomorrow morning.
ah well another day another dollar.
Oh and I bought an ipod! It is getting shipped to me and since it came with the option of free gift wrapping that's how it should arrive! Happy Day to me! I can't wait! My ipod (now) is one of the ipod mini's from when I was in high school. They don't make them anymore. Haven't for years. It has a black and grey screen and scratches all over.... and a couple dents.... and a warp in the plastic on top... it's high time I get a new one and I am so excited! Now I can fit all my music on it! :D

ooops.
So yet another thing to add to my list of broken objects by Aria
The stool in my room --- used by my lappy and table... ok so now I know why there is the rule of '4 on the floor' and no leaning!
It's not even mine.
Good grief I need to go to Ikea!
Better luck next time?
You'd think that I was going through that awful awkward phase where the arms and legs are all gangly and such. No. That is not it, just so ya know.

Accidental- Prone Aria
Lately I have been so very accident prone. I find bruises, scratches, and bumps and not know where they come from. I mean I am used to it by now but ah well, I needed someone to blog on.
I have broken my favorite lamp - it was a globe with cherry blossoms on the outside of it and it glowed so nice! This one was a couple months ago. I think I broke my laptop before that... I tripped over the cord connecting my speakers to my lappy and BAM it flew off my table... Well that's repaired now which is nice.. oh nice warranty...
anyways, I have discovered lately my other lamp *I have two in all* both I love. and now I see that it is broken in one place. Still usable but still! One little metal hook is broken (this one is a square paper one).
Oh and my cell phone is finally returned to me! the number 3 popped out on me one day. Though this couldn't be all my fault! So what if it suddenly likes to fly out of my hand occasionally.. Or jump out of my pocket. It's a flip phone so how did the 3 run away?
Oh me and electronics are like accidents waiting to happen.
Today I was leaning against the wall sitting on my bed... I reached for something and the glass of water I had beside me wanted to drench me so BAM. Sploosh. Aria is wet, So is her cords to her computer, cell phone, and lamp. Thankfully I took most of the water on me I guess? Oh and my lamp fell down again with me. Thankfully it's durable!
It's a wonder how I am not shocked, electricuted or maimed.

ANTM vs. Stitch
okay I know this is kinda strange and perhaps a tad mean, but I am wanting to actually compare the two in pictures. While watching ANTM my mom and I realized that this girl lovely girl looks like a cartoon alien creature when she smiles...
Very pretty girl on America's Next Top Model (ANTM) - Teyona featured in the middle....
She reminds me of Stitch.... form Disney's Lilo and Stitch
And here's to crappy photoshopping!
Anyways, just thought I would get this off my mind.

ouch
ah today was okay. Work as per usual, even though it's Good Friday.
I walked to work today ..
sunshine + river + birds - bugs + lovely music = peaceful and happy.
(this was one of the songs I listened to and it's been growing on me)
Then after walking 45 min, I get to walk all day at work. Yippie.
I also made it my goal this past week or so to take the stairs every time possible...Quite the challenge for myself, I work on the 4th floor in two different buildings. It's hard work! and boy oh boy my knees are killing me now.
I didn't think that walking to work would affect me so much but I guess it did. physically, though emotionally I was happy all day.
So bye for now from the tired happy person.
~~~~
Oh and Happy Good Friday everyone!
On this day Jesus was nailed to the cross. The ultimate sacrifice for humanity. It is through Him that we are saved indeed!
New Season New Layout!
Well It's time for flowers. I am so excited for Spring - and it's finally here.
So here is a new layout - my favorite flower - Frangipani/ Plumeria.
I am so happy that there is sunshine and warmth! I have this strange fear in the back of my mind that it's going to snow... but I don't think so anymore.
So hope I will like this layout in the morning, or else more tinkering and changes happen.
Adios!

Scariest Moments
So I was thinking yesterday what my scariest moments in my life have been. This was brought on from watching Amazing Race (oh I love that show), there was someone that fainted from like over heating or exhaustion or something. OH SUSPENSE! haha. Well this put me in memory of a few times I have blacked out etc.
Top Freakiest Moments in Aria's Life:
----- India. Over there I got sicker than I had ever been before. Not to mention being in a foreign country, hiking, and crazy jeep rides to make things a whole heck of a lot worse when you're sick. I am pretty sure I had a horrible fever - (I had I think a quilt my sleeping bag and all my warmest clothes on when I got to my room.) I started getting stomach pains like no other, cold sweats and shivering.
I can remember it all too well - lying in my bed praying that I wouldn't die here. Never prayed that prayer before... ah well. this is my post from when I was just getting well again. I did journal but it's burried in a box right now, and that gave more detail on what happened.
---- Near drowning. I remember swimming in the pool near my grandparents trailer up by Cultus Lake. Mik was there with her friend and they thought that it would be hilarious if they held me under water and not let me up. (Mik was like 4 or 5 so she obviously didn't know better) So anyways, I remember being held under by my head and flayling my arms around trying to get lose. Running out of air. Trying to actually hit them so I can move, then finally finally I get out. Freaked me right out.
Anyways, those are two of my scariest moment that I can think of off the top of my head, I don't think I have any suppressed ones or anything but then.. who knows.
Anyways, time to go help with dinner.

conversations
I find myself apart of the strangest conversations lately.
well perhaps not lately, usually would be a better word for it.
It depends on the company of course. Since I work in a hospital the grossest conversations can come up as a common occurrence - topics include - vomit. bowel movements. blood. needles. psych patients (that one is a fun one). surgical procedures. super bugs and diseases. the list goes on. and on.. and on..
Then at home, the same conversations happen. (Though different and sometimes just to bug Mik.) But for the most part its the highlights and lowlights (?) of the day.... which usually include the work topics. (Oh but no worries there are other conversations besides these)
When the extended family gets together they usually end up talking about medications.. the different ones that they are on, the ones their friends and family are on.... Is this normal?
I am not phased in the least anymore by most topics. The other day a girl at work started talking about her sisters endometriosis (and hers), describing bowel movements, scopes, surgery, and on and on.. This was over lunch. It all started when I asked how she and her sister were knowing they were sick lately.
I also like to go for the shock value... Mik being in middle school is learning new words. Biology is one of my favorites to tell her words and not tell her the meanings. She has been teased about her last name lately too. Siemens... So I call her Mik Siemen. just to get her going. See, I was never teased about my last name (unless I somehow blocked it all from memory), I was mostly teased over my first name. ah well, I get a kick out of teasing her and seeing her reactions. I caught my mum off gaurd so badly the other day by blurting out a biology term to Mik over dinner, that my mum almost had some food or something come out her nose from laughing so hard.
Anyways, time to go to bed or something like clean my room.... getting too messy for me.

Australia!
Oh I just finished watching Australia! I really enjoyed it - at first thought it comical but I was so absorbed.
I am all alone tonight so I flicked off the lights, cranked the new sound system and watched. The surround system I think is pretty fantastic. Makes the hooves thunder all around and oh so fantastic.
This movie has been waiting for me to watch it for a while now, I was waiting, waiting, waiting for someone to watch it with me, but tonight just seemed so perfect to watch it. plug plug click and woo I had a lovely evening by myself. That never happens.
Do you ever catch yourself watching a movie and then some how finding your hands over your mouth in shock? or at a crazy part holding them over your face? I actually found myself doing this. I think it's a 'only watching movies alone' moment but strange. oh well
Oh and Hugh Jackman? He's ya know, pretty awesome.
So right now I want to go fly back to Australia and travel some more. Shucks.

Teenager?
I have stolen this from Them Lytt Girls
"Clicking the play button below will produce a tone that is generally only heard by people under the age of 25."
Take the test!
Are you under 25 or just young at heart?

fbook friends... srsly.
A couple things on facebook here. Mostly the friends part of it.
Don't you just hate those people who add as many people as possible to their friends list that they don't even know?
For a little bit I was one of those such folk.. this is when I first got on fbook and thought it was cool.
Now it's getting annoying. Now I went through my list and started deleting people I don't know very well or anything.
You know those people who you know as acquaintances and just ask you 'hey how are you?' in a message and never respond again? Well maybe it's only me... ah whatever.
Or in my travels meeting loads of new people and them all adding you, you think 'heh maybe we could meet in another trip' ... hmm ya maybe not. Right now I have too many of those people on my list who I rarely talk to and more than likely never will remember me. Time to purge. Delete. Delete. Delete.
But then for those lazy people (like myself) you just leave them until you look and say 'who the heck is that?' and then click on something else. haha
Anyways, enough rambling. The other day Mik posted one of those ' tag the funny pic' in her pictures, and sure enough someone I had no idea who he was added me as a friend.... Mik's friends ex boyfriend (who is about 13 years old).
Seriously?
A few days back I got a random 'friend request' add... some guy from Egypt. It made me laugh as soon as I saw it. Cause you know... who doesn't know someone named Ahmed Arafa?
This persons picture was pretty awesome and I will try and hope it links for you.
Okay I know it's not very nice to laugh at that picture.... but it is hard not to? And come on.... asking for it?
ah well I am 'such a meanie-bonk-head' as someone has once called me.

subliminal messaging?
Well I woke up this morning thinking of Malcolm in the middle. This is because upstairs my family was watching an episode bright and early. The very episode I thought of watching. Though, I don't remember even waking up and hearing it.
This late morning, my lovely day off, I was sitting in the living room playing some game on the internet and listening to all my music on the lappy on random. The Lord of the Rings soundtrack being part of my library played. My mom, not knowing what it was, was suddenly inspired to watch a Lord of the Rings movie today.
Out of 4 movies that we ended up picking, LOTR was decided upon by means of 'eeny meeny miney mo' (not sure of the spelling)
and right now we are in Hobbiton, it just makes me smile thinking of it.

Long time no post
I think I have had that as my title quite a few times before now. Oh how unoriginal of myself.
Lately, my life has consisted of work, go home, eat, sleep. sometimes popping in a 30rock episode or two. In the past month I think I went shopping like twice, besides the 'run in the store and grab a loaf of bread' shop. Ah so boring.
hm new stuff....
I love to go to starbucks if I have time before work and sit, enjoy a cup of coffee, and read my book (whatever book that may be)
I especially like it when I have more than 30 min there. My time to relax and read. and try not to think.
oh well.
Today I am going out for coffee with a pastor at our church. In about 20 min.
I woke up earlier than I planned today - I don't know what I was thinking, but up I am. The power flickered and messed with my clock so I fixed that at ten to eight this morning, and then I don't know, thought my coffee was at 9? meh who knows.
anyways, enough of my ramblings.
I do this right now to make it look like I blog more often than once or twice a month, even if it contains nothingness.

code black
Story of the day:
Today was starting out like most days, I get up, get ready, go to work. ( I work at the hospital btw)
On the way to work I talked on my phone to my friend and she was telling me that the hospital was on lockdown... This being unusual I thought heh I work soon enough I am just going to grab a coffee and go like normal. Also thinking that this friend usually exaggerates so no big deal.
So I get to the starbuck near work and aw what a lovely coffee is cafe verona... anyways, time to go to work. I get there and see lots of cops and a crowd at the front entrance. They weren't letting anyone in (or out?) So getting closer to the entrance I see a van load of housekeeping friends and they tell me the scoop about this code black ... in other words bomb threat. This didn't seem to phase them at all so I didn't let it get to me. So I stop and chat and then go towards the entrance and join the crowd.
There was a security gaurd and a police man at the front along with my manager, she was asking when her people can get back to work, and then points at me and says 'Oh Aria can come in now' and before you know it, I am walking into this uncleared building while it is still being searched etc.
I guess it seemed safe? I mean it wasn't being evacuated or anything right?
Ah well, about an hour later the PA came on and says ' Code black ended' or something or another. The end.
There is my story of the day. Safe and sound and still not knowing if my life was in real danger today or not. Thinking to myself was I stupid to enter? I don't know.
But suposedly these happen ever few months or so?
Ah well, no blood guts and gore today.... though yesterday in maternity.... hahahahahaha never mind.

There was a security gaurd and a police man at the front along with my manager, she was asking when her people can get back to work, and then points at me and says 'Oh Aria can come in now' and before you know it, I am walking into this uncleared building while it is still being searched etc.
I guess it seemed safe? I mean it wasn't being evacuated or anything right?
Ah well, about an hour later the PA came on and says ' Code black ended' or something or another. The end.
There is my story of the day. Safe and sound and still not knowing if my life was in real danger today or not. Thinking to myself was I stupid to enter? I don't know.
But suposedly these happen ever few months or so?
Ah well, no blood guts and gore today.... though yesterday in maternity.... hahahahahaha never mind.
