Employment, Visitation, and Frightened Tugs

[tinhuvielartanis]

Off I dashed to Dollar General to see what the verdict was. Turns out one of the cashiers at the site I wanted to work at quit this morning, leaving the position open for....MEEEEEEEEE. I start Friday.

After getting the good news about the job, I toddled off to the hospital to look at Aunt Tudi bloat up on her adjustable bed. When I got there, I found she already had company in the shape of Stephanie and her daughter Ashley. So we visited and yucked it up for while until Ashley expressed her gnawing hunger. Aunt Tudi piped up and said she could really use a coffee. So off Stephanie, Ashley, and I went in search of noshable items and drinkable caffeine. We ended up at the tower café where we got foodstuffs and Starbucks.

On the way back to Aunt Tudi's room, we encountered a tug. A tug is a robot that transports medicine and whatnot from one point to another. It's a little robot that just scoots along and does it's thing. I wanted to film the tug, but as I got close to it, the little robot sped up. So I started chasing it, perhaps becoming the first robot paparazzi on Planet Earth. The results were apparently chuckle-worthy, as Stephanie told me that people walking down the hall watching the drama were laughing like hell.

That tug couldn't get away from me fast enough, poor thing. I feel like i victimised the little critter.

Here are some pictures from the hospital par-tay.

Anyway, Aunt Tudi seemed in very good spirits. If things continue to go well, she may get to come home tomorrow, her medicines adjusted accordingly so this won't happen again. Another hurdle scaled. Time to sleep, dammit.

Woohoo! good news altogether... well, except for the poor widdle tug ;) Seriously, that is so cute! LOL!

Yay! I am glad she's feeling better. I'll keep my fingers crossed that she gets to come home tomorrow!

You chased a robot. And? You have video. I'm frightened.

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

Fantabulous news all around! ^_____^

Come back little robot, come back!!

LOL...Just had to tell you Lucius got all excited when he heard that. So excited that naptime is officially over.

Congrats on the job and tell Aunt Tudi, we're all rootin' for her.

Ah! Good news all around! So happy to hear that Aunt Tudi is "fixable" and I know the second job will be a great relief to you. The tug is too cute. I've never seen anything like that.

You know... there's something missing from these photos... four legs, furry, and usually several of them draping themselves over Aunt Tudi. Think you can smuggle them in? ;)

I'm glad to hear that she's feeling better! Ashley is way cute, her hair is gorgeous!

Oh and congrats on getting that job you wanted!

I smuggled Aunt Tudi home today, so the furry tackling of her person has already commenced.

[jadecat.livejournal.com]

YAY!! :) That means she's doing better, which is excellent news. :) Plus fuzzy snuggles are good medicine too.

I'm glad Tudi is getting better and that things are looking up for you guys.

Yeah, the Tugs freaked me out when I was visiting in the hospital. Something about a machine bringing your medicine around that just freaked me out. (What if it broke down??!!)

Awesome news about you finding work at the Dollar Store. Do you get a discount? I bet that would make it the 90 cents store for you. O.K. just trying to insert a little humor.

That girl is not Ashley. Ashley is a young girl that plays with dolls and should not be that grown up. Jez, we're getting old aren't we?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Dunno about a discount, but I DO get medical benefits, so YAY.

And, yes, we are getting older than dirt.

Glad that you have finally got some happy news! The robot video is amusing, I don't think we have them in hospitals out here yet. I wonder if they're programmed to speed up when there is movement behind them so as not to delay hurrying doctors?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I need to ask though.

[podmeister.livejournal.com]

Man, I've not been keeping up with my flist so only just saw this. I hope everything's going ok -x-

[es-skysurfer.livejournal.com]

Great news about the Dollar Store, and im sooo relieved that Aunt Tudi is doing better :D

When i watched the tug video, all i could hear was the Benny Hill music, it kept me amused for a very long time :p

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Benny Hill was a god.

[falkenna.livejournal.com]

Woohoo on all counts!
So glad Tudi is home and OK.
Great news about the job -- better about the insurance? When does it come into effect?
