The Evil Bitch, Temptation

For the most part, I can't complain about how my day has
gone. Work was busy, but nothing I couldn't handle. I
haven't binged on anything. Nothing bad happened. Overall,
it was a good enough day.

I'm really surprised at the level of attention I've been
getting at work, lately. All three primary assistants
(Ruthie, Mindy and Crystal) have been bending over
backwards to help me learn and grow more confident. It's
nice, but I'm wondering why they aren't lavishing Kaitlyn
with this attention. She's also training for chairside,
but she's worked here for two years and they are pretty
much just throwing her into the mix, not giving her much
guidance or anything. She seemed frazzled today, and if I
were her, I'd be too. At least I have the benefit of
schooling. She hasn't been through any sort of program.
She's winging it big time. Good luck to her.

Today, I assisted in a couple alloy restorations, a child
prophy and a build-up/crown prep. Nothing major, although
we did have to take the final impression for the crown
prep four times, because the poor guy kept bleeding and
creating voids in the impression material. It was really
starting to get to me, but the fourth time was the charm.

The evil bitch, temptation reared her ugly head left and
right all day. You'd never believe 99% of the girls at
work are rail thin, by the number of cookies, cakes,
donuts, bagels, lattes, cheese trays, breads, chips and
dips that come through the kitchen/lounge area. This
morning, there was a gaggle of glazed donuts, lattes,
bagels, etc. in the business office that were sending
sweet, cinnamony aromas all through the office. Then, down
in the kitchen, there were the cheese trays with various
breads, dips, chips and cookies. This place is horrible!
At lunch I ate my smart one and nearly broke into a cold
sweat trying to resist the chocolate brownie chunk
cookies. It was so bad, I just got up and took myself for
a walk. I wanted a whole dozen of them, but I resisted and
I feel better for it.

I don't have dance tonight, because my instructor is out
of town and it got cancelled, but at least it wasn't me
this time :) Sometimes I love dance so much (while I'm
there), then there's times when I almost consider quitting
(the next morning when I have to get up early after
dancing until 10pm). But, I'm sticking with it. It's fun
and I know I'll adjust to the schedule.

Well, I still need to get my laundry put away and my
checkbook balanced. I got all my other chores done last
night, except the ones I intended to. I'm putting both off
because I don't like doing them, but they must be done, so
here I go...Ciao.
