LADIES! It has been a very long time, but since I'm back into the blogging thing i thought I'd say hello. I don't have much time these days to get online let alone check blogs and emails but it's Christmas Eve and I'm waiting for Alex to wake up. See when I got home from Europe I was dating this guy and well, we've seen each other every single day since then. It's amazing, I love his little heart to death. We even have our own blog... who doesn't these days, right? ;) it's a crazy one, so let me just type it for you http://www.chopstickandfortunecookie.blogspot.com/ it's an inside joke we have with the Chinese food references.
As for work, I've been working for Dr. Christensen in Murray about 3 days a week because his previous hygienist only wanted to work 3 days. I however will start working Mon-Thur beginning Dec. 31. I work from 7-5 and it's actually not that bad. The wear and tear on my body though is more than I ever expected. It's hard work what we do, has anyone else noticed that? Feels like I should have a daily massage after work. My Dr. is really great though, a little quirky - he's a tango dancer and a member of the WREB and ADA. So he's gone during the weekends administering tests to hygieneists and dental students. He's also on the board for revising the National test administered to hygienists. Remember that 8 hour long ordeal? He's trying to make it better...ie not so long. I use everything and more that I was taught in school cause he's really up on his hygiene info. I am also going to being trained on a new laser used for cleaning out deep pockets...what ever int he heck that is. Yeah I still probe, do oral cancer screenings, wear a smock everything but it's a job right? ;)
And now it's Christmas time and I have a whole week off. Al and I were supposed to go snowboarding today but with the storm we don't want to get stuck up a mountain on Christmas Eve, so we'll have to go sledding or something. I miss you all and wish you the best, MERRIEST CHRISMAS! Eli
