Praying For Patience


As a nurse, one aside from knowing your stuff and being caring, you need a LOT of patience. You will have patients who aren't being patient either and are always needy and demanding, and they do know you have other patients that need your care and attention too.

What's the difference?


Work called and I knew that it's my turn to be called off. Alas, no, they wanted to ask me if I wanted to be flexed off, meaning instead of me coming at 7pm, they want me to come in at 11pm.
Okay it'll be hectic with me coming during the changed of shift, still have to give meds at 9pm, change patients and so on. Then the other stuff. If I come in at 2300 I just do the other stuff...
To me not really a lot of difference when it comes to work. I still have to come to work, then I'd rather not lose 4 hours over it.
My gut is quiet and not feeling panicky. I'm now worried. Heh yea gut works the other way around.
Hoping for a quiet shift tonight.

SYTYCD Stage vs Street Ep 1


So after all the auditions to vegas, the top 20 were finally announced. Sadly before the first episode aired, Hurricane from team street got injured and Asaf the bboy Hebrew or something like that took over his spot. I am writing this while watching so I'll most probably butcher some names.
Opening routine by Christopher Scott and jessicalee keller was awesome, coming from the Step Up Movie this seems like his thing lol!
First routine, Team Street. JJ, Neptune and Megz tackle a Dave Scott routine. For the first performance it lacks some oomph and Megs weakness regarding choreography is showing. Jj shines in this routine, the other two better step up.
Next team stage tackles stacy tookey routine with Moises, Derek, Gabby
The piece looks etheral comparing to the previous group theirs is more collective than individual but still shows their strength and hell I'm no pro but such beautiful lines. And wow Gabby's a tapper : P
Christopher Scott now for Team Street Jaja, Burim, Lily and Asaf, four individuals who grew up in different countries and four different styles!!! Damn Jaja got some abs putting some of the guys to shame hahaha!! Routine was it was amazing. Shows everyone's strengths, individuality and moved as a group. In thought Asaf would bring his group down but he pulled through. As we've seen in the Vegas round he really had a hard time with choreography. But for me the girls took it. 
Team Stage's Hailee, Marissa ansd Alexa tackles Jazz with Brian Friedman. Heels, chairs and coats. Hailee's really strong on this routine and on point with the choreographer's vision. Alexa still looked a bit uncomfortable and Marissa kinda too much. Reminded me of Goldilocks xD. And kudos with the heels, it isn't easy but dang Brian worked it hahaha!
Team Stage again with the two cavaliers! Jim and Darion are in the hands of Benoit Swan Pouffer.  Just watching just the it really looks like it's one of the toughest routine for this episode and maybe for awhile to be thrown like this at their first episode. Freaking ./tableflip if they get voted off next week! It was an awesome routine but between the two, Jim shows maturity and control with his pirouettes/spins and just his movement looks serene and effortness. Darion has more of energy with his, strength and childlike.
Team Street welcomes back Pharside and Phoenix with Virgil, Ariana and Yorelis. Intricate movements again the ladies are killing it. Performance wise it was average for me, Team Street where are the boyz?!
Edson and Kate, Team Stage gets their team captain Travis Wall for this routine. It was a strong for the first episode but I agree with Nigel. I got lost with their facial expressions. Is it a happy dance? And wow again I agree with Paula, there is a chemistry void. A strong performance technical wise but there is a disengagement with the routine.
Team Stage group performance went with broadway routine with Warren Carlisle. Sexy but not overly. And wth did Moises just tapped?! The routine showed some weak individuals if one notices and the strong ones. For those voting for Team Stage, do you have it?
Aammmmmgggg NappyTabs tackles the Team Street group routine.  Excited for the Squad working with one of my fave choreographers. Strong and amazing performance. The whacker is krumping... the bboys are... dancing?! Again one sees the strong and weak contenders. And they ain't the girls...

Overall both teams showed equally good and not so bad performances. Team Stage with their technical abilities, you can't deny the majority of them are awesome at what they do. But what they are like is the chemistry doing a routine with a group or partner, showing emotions, making the audience not only see but have an emotional connection with the routine and audience rapport.
What Team Stage lacks is the opposite for Team Street. When they perform they have this connection with the audience that makes us wants to join or cheer for them. They could do group routines, and play with their partner. Gets their energy from the audience, but then most of them falls short or gets lost when a choreography gets thrown in. Most of them are freestylers, but that's one of the big challenges they have to face...
This is pretty much the "easy" episode for them because they are dancing their styles. Next week they'll be thrown out of their equilibrium dancing new genres or styles , and for some battling choreography too. For me that's when the competition starts. Can't wait for the next episode.

On a side note... still not 100% convinced with the judges... x.x hopefully they do invite someone as a 4th judge... please x.x
