I started working in healthcare in 2000. I was an Emergency Room Transporter at my local county hospital. It was a job that I got because I needed one badly at the time and my mother knew someone in HR there that pulled some strings. It was very low pay and the work was dirty, dirty, dirty. I saw some cool stuff, though and I actually liked the busy environment, plus I felt like I was doing something that mattered. I hated being *just* a transporter. I didn't want to be an EMT, because the hours for that kind of work are horrible. I wanted to be an ER technician. The hospital eventually laid off all the transporters so I was at square one. I went to school in 2000 to become a CNA and was disappointed to find out that the hospital wouldn't hire me without CNA experience. My first CNA job was at a privately ran, poorly staffed nursing home that I grew to love despite it's uncaring nurses, low wages, difficult residents and unsanitary conditions. I was exposed to TB, now I test positive. I caught pneumonia and passed out on the job. I was always sick and I learned quick not to call in with NVD because "we have bathrooms". I worked hard but had little to show for it, except that I can now say that I have had a full colostomy bag thrown at me. I took care of some precious people and I loved that part of the job. I have to say that I did it like a champ. As a male CNA, I was usually approached for help getting people off the floor, off the toilet and up in bed. I finally got a call from the big hospital downtown and was offered a job on the orthopedic floor. I took it. The work was a step up from the nursing home. It was still grunt work. Vital signs q4hrs, turn q4hrs, feed them, help them to the bathroom, I's and O's, coffee for the family, etc (times up to 30 patients). I did this for a few years, working with cliquey young nurses that got into nursing because of the promise of high wages, but hated doing the work. There were some other nurses that were amazing, though, and I always enjoyed working with them. I usually ended up working by myself, covering the whole floor-some thirty patients or more. I worked nights, though so It wasn't really a big deal. I managed. All I wanted was to get in the ER though. I finally got my chance. I got a transfer. I was an ER technician. They trained me as a phlebotomy and EKG tech plus I got trained in applying a plaster cast, and some other skills. Then I got to actually perform the job. I loved it too. Running to do a STAT EKG, responding to a code blue, drawing labs, running them to the lab, transporting patients to ICU, doing CPR (even though I puked my first time). I even loved doing the dirty stuff like cleaning the room after a patient was discharged and restocking the supplies, etc. It was all fun to me. The problem came, when I was told by a coworker that I need to watch my back because some people there didn't like me. I never missed a vein, I always drew labs correctly, I was there on time and in a good attitude, I never complained even when I was given more than my fair share of work to do (obviously), I was proactive to empty the dirty laundry bins and clean rooms, even rooms that were not my section, I was always eager to help other techs that needed help and I could do EKGs quickly and get the printout to the doctor, no problem. I am not sure why anyone would have a problem with me, except that I was different and (of course) fat. I didn't really fit in with the other people. They were experienced ER people and extreme sports people and they believed that they had seen it all and didn't have time for noobs like me. They were saving lives and I was just getting in the way. After being told that I needed to watch my back, I immediately started looking for another job. Anyway, the next job I end up getting is with a major cellphone company as a customer service representative. If you have read any of my old blog posts, you know how that went. Anyway, the whole point of this post is to inform you that I have finally found my place in a print shop doing bindery work and delivering the finished products. All in all, it was totally worth it. All the suffering I did on the job. It built my character and gave me perspective. It made me actually enjoy standing in one place while I do nothing but coil bind for an hour. Bottom line: I am happier than i have been in a long time.

UFO ALIEN
I was you-toobin' it one day early this year and I found a video that had images that startled me. I am a fan of viewing startling images on google searches and haven't seen it all, but I have probably seen most of it. I always have searched for alien pictures and stuff and am familiar with most of the fake rubber aliens out there. A few of the same fakes are all over the internet in you tube videos titled things like
REAL ALIEN
LEAKED ALIEN PIC
ALIENS R REAL BELIEVE!!!!!
REAL ALIEN FOOTAGE
etc.
accompanied by a picture of this prop...
...posed in one fashion or another so as to look like a REAL LEAKED ALIEN PIC. There are other fake ones I can spot in a hurry.
Never mind the dead SLOTH that people are constantly posting and saying it is a dead alien. There is also a picture of a dead cat or rat-like creature in a bear-trap that is circulating the web.
I use my intuition when looking at these images. By intuition, I mean a complex cross-referencing of all the data I have accumulated, in small amounts, about subjects like xenobiology, psychology, anatomy and physiology, UFO myths and folklore, conspiracy theories, new age theology, logic, and much, much more. One thing I like to tell myself late at night when I have the heebie-jeebies, is that extraterrestrial beings would probably not do things that are creepy and scary to us-things like hide in the dark and make wailing, screeching sounds while clawing on the door. That is just hollywood and fear-based thinking that makes us expect that. They wouldn't do things that are gross, sickening and weird either, at least nothing more sickening than us humans do.

More often than not, the fakes are a prop, paper mache or a dead animal. I don't think this is a prop. I haven't seen it in any movies nor have I seen in in any search results for ufo, alien, conspiracy or new age subjects. At all. The being does not appear to be completely, over-the-top, mind blowingly realistic except for the details on the hand. If this is a prop, it hasn't been used for anything else and must have been destroyed.
IMAGE 1
Okay, so what is that thing? It looks like a space capsule or something. Where was this taken? Can't really make heads or tails out of it, but the interesting thing is that the image is of a computer monitor. Why not the actual image? Perhaps the person that took the photo did not have access to such an image as this. I didn't notice this at first, but there are some things blacked out on this picture. The face of the man on the left is blacked out and whatever he is standing in front of (or whatever is standing in front of him) is blacked out looks like it was done with a marker and not on the image we are looking at, but the one that is on the dell monitor. I am not sure, but it also looks like something on the bottom right of the screen is blacked out. Who knows? Right? Looks like a green hard hat.
IMAGE 2
Okay, here we go. Same weird capsule thing. It appears seamless. Kind of like a tea kettle, though. Not too completely strange. There is another person with their face blacked out. Green hard hats. There isn't really any standard color system for hard hat color meanings that I am aware of. A google search confirms this.
IMAGE 3
No idea what is going on here. Looks like it was set in concrete. It also looks like they are trying to contain it or something. Not sure what the strange looking fence around it is for. Green, yellow and white hard hats. not doing construction of anything recognizable. Lab coats? Then the hard hat colors might mean something and the green hat wearing guy isn't doing anything but watching, so that goes along with the "green hard hats are for management" system, but managing what? These photos were probably taken from a smartphone.
IMAGE 4
Okay a separate room with 3 greens and one yellow. Looks like they are watching some type of indicator or sensor readout or something. Waiting. There appears to be a painting on the wall on the right side behind the monitor, but it is only partially visible. Looks like a building with a logo above it. A "K" or an "R"?
IMAGE 5
Alright. This image is a little shocking to me, since the being in the shot isn't one of the rubber alien props I have seen before. What is it in? Looks like a tub. What is the card for and why does it appear so messy? If this is a hoax, why not make the card more "official" looking? What was marked out on the original photo? What was in the tub with the being on the bottom right corner? Looks like something else was marked out. I cannot tell if the hand in the photo is gloved or not/human or not.
IMAGE 6
Another image of the being also pictured in IMAGE 5 shows details of the room where this was revealed to the photographer. Looks like a training room. I have no clue as to where this is located. The water bottle on the desk is not one of a brand I am familiar with. Not sure what the coffee mug says to the far left corner but the emblem is circular and appears to have the last two letters "sa" (nasa?).
IMAGE 7
First off, this appears to be the being's left hand with three long fingers (possibly a thumb) and fingernails that are darker colored. There appears to be some debris on the creature's hand that looks like some type of growth or maybe a blister. One of the knuckles appears to be bruised. The hand is positioned at an angle next to the being's hip that indicates that it's elbow is bent which makes the hands possibly come down closer to the being's knees when standing erect. The being's hip is more fleshy colored possibly due to the bright light shining down on the hand. There appears to be a sleeve or a wristband on the being's wrist. The hand pointing at the screen appears to be human and is perhaps the person who has access to these pictures pointing at the hand and maybe describing some greater detail that is lost through jpeg compression.
I am not going to say this is the real deal, but if it isn't we will probably see a movie with this prop in it some time in the next few years.
