People who don't listen. I must say that in my job on the IT Help Desk, a good 75-80% of problems that occur are because people just don't listen to what they are told. I tell them to go to a particular website, carefully spelling out the web address. They say, I don't see what you're talking about on the page. I say, did you go to (insert web address)? They say, well I have that web page in my favorites and I went there. Well no wonder, you didn't go to the web page I said, you went to the page you bookmarked. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!
It's no wonder people don't stay on this job long. People will drive you crazy.
Truth be told, what is truly driving me crazy is my own goofy self; particularly, not truly living up to my potential. I'm smart, and that's fact, not bragging. I don't consider myself a genius, but I do have plenty of knowledge and a thirst for knowledge. Medical shows fascinate me. Illness is a puzzle to be solved. I love how cool and calm medical staff are when lives are on the line.

So I should update...
I'm really not a nursing student as of yet, and at this point, not sure if I will be. I"m still looking for that little something that will get the flames stoked and excite me about life. Mainly, I want a new job and I prefer it to be in the medical field. I am about to finish my 19th year as a part-time dance teacher and will be retiring after my 20th. That frees up a huge chunk of my time.
In 7 months I will be 45. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I do know that I don't want to be in any kind of assistant/admin/secretary position, neither do I want to sit in front of a computer and take phone calls all day.
Any suggestions will be more than welcomed.
