My dad is willing to train me to be a Dental Assistant. He says he prefers ones trained by dentists rather than schools because school-trained assistants always have to unlearn bad habits. I don’t actually know what he means by that, other than the obvious.
I prefer being trained to going to school, because I think it depersonalizes (wow, big word!) the experience. Folks who learned their trade through apprenticeship with a skilled teacher are usually better than those who went to school learning from someone who wasn’t good enough to actually earn a living with their trade. For proof, see “Those who can’t do, teach!” No offense to teachers, including my mom!

I watched an episode of ‘The Closer’ with Kyra Sedgwick on TNT (new favorite!). I knew the answer before they did! I don’t know if that counts, but it’s fun for me. Normally I’m confused until the end credits on those detective shows.
If this does count, then I don’t know what I did. I have been watching ‘Leverage’ and ‘Burn Notice’ (love that basic cable stuff) – maybe some of their skills have been rubbing off on me?

This is even less likely than my goofy goal of wanting to work for Seth MacFarlane. I mean, seriously! I won’t see her for AT LEAST another 7 months. We have NOTHING in common. I love her, don’t get me wrong. But searching in SF (the city? Anyone?) for 6 hours and then giving up really will do a number on your patience. My mom is almost distraught with my ‘unwillingness’ to write my sister while she’s out of state. But seriously – who is unwilling to communicate with whom here? The sister who ran away, leaving no note? or the sister that’s been desperately trying to keep the first sister from dying? I begged her to talk to me, and I bared my soul to her several times, and what did I get? Either BS or nothing. That gets old quick. And she’s still not being honest with the counselors at the ‘place’. She’s not being honest with my parents, either. Why would I want to talk to a liar? I know she’s safe, I know she’s being taken care of, and I know she’s not with that loser boyfriend. I’m good for now.
It’s just so hard, because I love her… But I’m so angry.
But I love her.
