So Im sitting at Condell Hospital in the main lobby and I noticed that they had a big revolving door. "Where am I going with this?" you might add? "Lots of big buildings have revolving doors like shopping malls, public buildings, and train stations." Good point, BUT!!!! Not only did this door revolve, it revolved by itself...THATS RIGHT PEOPLE! Even when people aren't using it, it still spins. Apparently it has some sort of "energy wasting" contraption built right in that allows it to not only needlessly spin all day long, but also allowing the air conditioned air out of the building while bringing the hot and humid air inside with each and every revolution. HURRAY FOR THE WONDERS OF TECHNOLOGY! WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT! What are the benefits of a revolving door? Especially a SELF-revolving door. One problem is the door spins ten times slower than the average human walks. AND THEY PUT ONE AT THE ENTRENCE OF THE EMERGENCY ROOM? Since most people who go to the E.R. are a pint or two low on blood and running for their lives for medical attention carrying a severed limb with them in a bag of ice, I don't think that it is too smart to install a SELF revolving door that spins at .02 miles an hour at the entrence. That's just me, what do I know? I can just see it now, A “Joe Shmo Landscaping Service” truck pulls into the parking lot of the ER carrying Joe’s young and not so bright apprentice, Emilio because he severed the better half of his ear trying to figure out if the lawn mower was turned on. (Turned out his suspicions were put to rest) So anyway, he's running towards the door of the E.R. He’s making great time so far. Turns out he might not die of blood loss after all. WAIT. He gets to the door, then he must wait for the next space in the revolving door to come around because he could not get there in time. He can’t push the door because it is automatic, he might break it and get sued. The door is wicked cool looking and Emilio thinks this worthless contraption might be worth more than his life. He cannot afford to take that chance. HURRY EMILIO!!!! He waits. Minutes pass....Then he is finally able to jump in. He is inside the door now. There is no turning back, he is trapped. If he tries to return the way he came, the door will strike his foot, stop revolving, and an automated voice will politely ask him to step forward. Once he does, the door continues revolving and he is FINALLY back on track. Emilio is not even half way through the death door and losing more blood by the minute. A few more minutes pass, Emilio is finally able to get out of the revolving door. But wait, Emilio has fallen asleep while walking through the door because he has been walking too slow. Still fatally bleeding, he is force to go one more complete revolution….. No just kidding, so he gets out and continues running for medical attention, as he was before he met his nemesus…. that is the SELF revolving door. Emilio finally gets medical attention. He is one of the lucky ones.

Houdy folks!
In case you were wondering what this all is, I do infact have a blog. I know, "SHOCKER!" Yeah well I probably won't be posting as much as you all would like. So if you are the type that would be now planning on obsessively checking this everyday to read something new, you might want to look into some sort of therapy because you will, at some point, be extremely frusterated. (end of discamer).

So I guess I should give you all some sort of update..... Actually, Ive really only been busy working all summer. I'm counting myself lucky I have a somewhat cool job. For those of you who do not know, I have been working at Superior Ambulance as an EMT since January. I really love it! I also just recently got a position at Winthrop Harbor Fire Dept. in June. This has also been a blast and Im looking forward to starting Firefighter II training at the end of this month. I must say, this is the first year of my life that I actually wished the summer would end so that I could start school. Crazy, Huh? Anyways......

You know those shoes that have the wheels on them? You know, the ones that all the "cool" kids on the block in America seem to have. Yes, those! Whats the problem you might ask? LITTLE KIDS SUCK AT USING THEM! Thats the problem. Do you know how many squirty, snot-nosed little rugrats roll right into my knee caps at the grocery store on a daily basis? It gets old. yes, OLD! REAL FAST! Kinda like Jimmyjohns delivery....Awe Jimmyjohns!!!! Tasty! Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Its like everytime I turn around theres this little hillary duff wanabe tripping over my feet. And of course these stupid shoes dont have brakes, no that would be smart! we cant have that! You know, after a few times of getting pegged in shins by foreheads, I started looking out and waiting for those little punks to roll my way. Then when they get close, throw in a hip check....I dont even care anymore! Ill body check those little tykes clear across the isle!

People, it gets worse! Then these little kids give you, YES YOU! ......THE LOOK. Not, "Im sorry, or excuse me." "SIR." NO! The LOOK! What is the look im referring too you might ask? Its the "What the Hell is your gigantor behind doing in my roller rink" LOOK. YES! That is the look Im refering to. Every time I get that look, and yes, I get it quite often, I wish a little bit of death upon the moron who invented these contraptions. Sometimes I just want to punt those little punks at THAT guys lower extremeties!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT "MR. ROLLING SHOE INVENTER GUY."
